Despite the remarkable benefits on the capacity, the provision of power-efficient wireless resource management solution is still challenging. Cell sleeping control and cooperative beamforming design are considered as two enabling ways to address this issue. In this paper, we propose a novel Deep Neural Network (DNN) based approach to minimize the power consumption of network while satisfying the QoS demand by jointly designing the RRHs sleeping modes and beamforming weights inside a certain cell. The key idea of proposed DNN-based approach is to learn the non-linear mapping from channel coefficients to the optimal beamforming weights and the sleeping modes of multiple RRHs. Compared with the conventional numerical optimization schemes which require extensive iterations and result in considerable computational complexity and limited application in real-time processing, the proposed DNN-based approach enables the real-time cell sleeping control and beamforming optimization. Simulation results show that the DNN- based approach improve the energy efficiency significantly and calculative efficiency about three orders of magnitude.","PeriodicalId":6713,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 90th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2019-Fall)","volume":"13 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73921518","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}

Our approach shows a very promising performance in the IEEE CTW 2019 - Positioning Algorithm Competition where the algorithm achieves an accuracy within RMSE values below 10 cm. We further build a setup in another indoor environment, where the algorithm still proves a very good performance compared to state-of-the art techniques used in indoor localization tasks.","PeriodicalId":6713,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 90th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2019-Fall)","volume":"5 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74390852","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}

For it, operators use several methodologies, ranging from theoretical propagation models for planning cell coverage, to drive test measurements for evaluating the performance within a cell. A novel propagation model is proposed which combines drive test measurements, cell reach statistics, antenna radiation patterns, terrain morphologies, and classical theoretical propagation models. Considering a realistic scenario of an LTE cell, the use of a classical propagation model such as Walfish- Ikegami results in an average error of -27 dB of estimations with respect to measurements, evidencing a pessimistic estimation of signal. By opposition, the proposed model fits with DT measurements.","PeriodicalId":6713,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 90th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2019-Fall)","volume":"114 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74539000","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}

Pursuit and evasion games relate to tasks such as search and rescue operations, surveillance, and search and capture missions. They include two sub-tasks of finding evaders and then capturing them. Because there are two sub-tasks, there are different roles that each pursuer must take on during the game. This paper examines the amount of communication required to determine what role each UAs pursuer should take to achieve a quick location and capture of the evader. Results demonstrate that more robust internal control strategies offset role communication when the communications become limited.","PeriodicalId":6713,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 90th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2019-Fall)","volume":"32 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74646637","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 derived expressions are valid for arbitrary values of the fading parameters, namely î± and î, and they are validated through Monte Carlo simulations.

Applications of V2V communication can be broadly classified as safety, navigation and environmental efficiency. Safety applications require high frequency and high precision messages at short range (500m) within a single communication hop, navigation applications need low frequency and lower precision information at medium range (1500m/1 mile) and long range aggregate information (10000m/6 miles) can be used for enhancing environmental efficiency and routing. While network protocols for each of these applications have been individually studied, there is scope to study their behavior when they coexist in the network. It is important that the quality of one hop safety messages is not sacrificed when long range communication is introduced. RoAdNet enables long range information dissemination, while maintaining high data.","PeriodicalId":6713,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 90th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2019-Fall)","volume":"49 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75688617","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 order to answer this question, we develop lower bound on the achievable user rate which we then use to bound the maximum number of the admissible users.We also study the effect of the non orthogonality of the pilot sequences on the user capacity in a small cell (dense) network and propose an interference mitigation scheme which improves the spectral efficiency.

Thanks to ad-hoc communication networks, the exchange of navigation data and positioning solutions has been exploited to the purpose. This trend has recently suggested the extension of state-of-the art navigation algorithms to the hybridization of independent heterogeneous measurements within collaborative frameworks. In this paper an integration paradigm based on the combination of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) observable measurements is analysed. In this work, a comparison among legacy Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and a suboptimal Particle Filter (s-PF) is proposed. First we show that under the same assumptions in non-collaborative framework the s-PF easily overcome EKF performances at the cost of a higher computational cost. On the contrary, by analysing a realistic scenario in which a target agent is aided by a set of collaborating peers we showed that a hybridized EKF implementation allows reaching and overcome PF performance at the only expense of network connectivity among few GNSS receivers, while the proposed integration induces minor benefits for an efficient s-PF.","PeriodicalId":6713,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 90th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2019-Fall)","volume":"9 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74263998","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}
