Although there are a lot of dissemination protocols, the situation where small subset of nodes requires the code, such as a WSN shared among multiple users, is not considered. Some prior works have proposed dissemination protocols using high power sensors or clustering to enable efficient dissemination for a small subset of sensors with low transmission cost. However, the high power sensors or cluster heads incur the congestion around or between these nodes and the increase of the energy consumption. In this paper, we propose an efficient tree-based code dissemination and search protocol which enables to disseminate a code to small subsets without high power sensors and cluster heads. The protocol is based on an idea that the source only disseminates the code along the route in which the largest number of destinations are located and the rest of destinations obtains the code from the former destinations. Since the most of destinations obtains the code along a single route and a destination has the way to obtain the code by itself, energy consumption is mitigated and 100% packet receive ratio is guaranteed. We employ a standard routing protocol RPL (Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks) for the base of our proposed scheme. We evaluate the proposed scheme and compare with two conventional schemes which enable the dissemination for small subset of sensors. Our simulations show that our proposed scheme reduces the transmission count by 80% and enables to avoid the congestion compared with the conventional schemes.","PeriodicalId":6656,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops (ICC Workshops)","volume":"32 1","pages":"283-288"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79316216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on a recently introduced loopy belief propagation multipath-assisted localization scheme that performs probabilistic data association jointly with agent state estimation, we build a method for SLAM without using apriori known environment maps. The proposed method is highly accurate and robust in localizing a mobile agent while building up an environment feature map. It scales well in all relevant systems parameters and has a very low computational complexity.","PeriodicalId":6656,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops (ICC Workshops)","volume":"79 1","pages":"652-658"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88519211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, TxFJ is realized at the transmit side using MIMO precoding while RxFJ is achieved at the receiver side of each link by leveraging the state-of-the-art self-interference-suppression techniques (allowing a radio to cancel the self-interference effect of its transmit signal). We show that with a careful power allocation between the information signal and TxFJ at the transmit side of each link, the corresponding receiver is able decide on using RxFJ independent of any multi-user interference factor. This ability sets the receivers free from having to measure multi-user interference at eavesdropper(s). With every link following such strategy, we model this interaction as a non-cooperative game. We derive sufficient conditions under which the game admits a unique Nash equilibrium. We then propose a robust version of the game that requires only statistical knowledge of eavesdropping channel.","PeriodicalId":6656,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops (ICC Workshops)","volume":"21 1","pages":"1323-1328"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86710608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, multiple receive antennas facilitate interference suppression through the use of interference rejection combining receivers. Rank adaptation algorithms are aimed at balancing the trade-off between increasing the spatial gain, and improving the interference resilience property. In this paper, we propose an inter-cell rank coordination scheme whereby a serving base station coordinates the preferred maximum interference rank with the dominant interfering BS through exchange of coordination messages over the Xn interface. The proposed scheme is computationally efficient and requires minimum control overhead. Matlab based system-level simulation results indicate around 65% gain in terms of the outage throughput with little impact on the peak user throughput.","PeriodicalId":6656,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops (ICC Workshops)","volume":"106 1","pages":"639-644"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73992066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among other functions, these processes can facilitate fairer sharing of resources among community members and enhance individual survival outcomes. In this work, three bio-socially inspired models for secondary users of spectrum in cognitive radio networks are defined and compared to one other within an evolutionary framework. The proposed models reflect successively more sophisticated capabilities of secondary users in distributed spectrum access. The simplest of the three, blind channel access, is shown to be evolutionarily dominant when residual channel capacities are homogeneous. The second more advanced model assumes a capability to sense channel utilization; this model is shown to dominate when the channels have intermediate load and heterogeneous capacities. Finally, the most complex model (additionally) allows for social coalitions and within-group deference; this model is seen to dominate in high load heterogeneous resource settings. We explore the long term evolutionary pressures within societies whose members choose between these three schemes, with natural selection operating via a utility-based fitness function. Our research is based on systematic ns-3 simulation experiments of heterogeneous societies under a range of assumed channel conditions, population sizes, resource demands, and initial user attributes. Our results demonstrate that the secondary user population always evolves to adopt a unique and stable strategy, but that the winning strategy selected depends strongly on channel conditions. Our results further show that this kind of leaderless evolution leads to a significant 12–116% overall improvement in performance compared to systems in which a fixed strategy is deployed. In summary, we conclude that evolving bio-social behavioral models can be applied to great advantage in understanding dynamic environments such as those envisioned by distributed spectrum access.","PeriodicalId":6656,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops (ICC Workshops)","volume":"17 7 1","pages":"289-295"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78474198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The efficient support of MTC relies on incorporating new features in the communication networks. Ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) is one of the considered features that is essential for the support of mission-critical applications, such as industrial automation, e-health, public safety, and future vehicular communications. Enabling URLLC requires employing enhanced transmission techniques to meet the reliability requirements for both data and control channels. This paper develops general communication models for URLLC in uplink and downlink, considering the errors of data and control channels. The models help in determining the reliability constraints on control information, that should be considered in the design of the future cellular systems. In addition, the paper proposes some enhancement techniques that allow relaxing the stringent reliability requirements of control information.","PeriodicalId":6656,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops (ICC Workshops)","volume":"17 1","pages":"504-509"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86932971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even after passive isolation and RF cancellation, the magnitude of the residual SI is usually considerably higher than the signal of interest. The resolution of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) must be rather high to accommodate both the residual SI and the intended signal to allow the digital SI cancellation. Adding to this technical challenge, 5G systems will occupy large signal bandwidths of hundreds of MHz. Thereby, high-speed and high resolution ADCs are required. In order to obtain a reasonable compromise between performance and massive production cost, a time-interleaved ADC (TI ADC) structure is often used. In this paper, we analyze the TI-ADC induced nonlinear distortion on the performance of a full-duplex transceiver. In particular, time-mismatch errors are considered, and in addition, we apply a digital post-processing to mitigate ADC imperfections. Simulation results show that even a slight mismatch in the TI ADC array can severely deteriorate the performance of the whole system. On the other hand, we show that included ADC compensation can restore adequate performance.","PeriodicalId":6656,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops (ICC Workshops)","volume":"64 1","pages":"1147-1152"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74414162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
