For mMTC, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been proposed to support its large-scale connectivity. Due to the sparsity of mMTC, compressed sensing based algorithms can be used to identify the active users and recover the sparse channel state information (CSI) vector. In this paper, we propose a Bayesian message passing algorithm based on expectation propagation (EP) for joint active user detection (AUD) and channel estimation (CE) in NOMA. The proposed method approximates the complicated target distribution with a Gaussian distribution to achieve linear complexity. Simulations demonstrate that the EP-based algorithm achieves better performance in joint AUD and CE than the exiting algorithms, especially in the low SNR regime.","PeriodicalId":6713,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 90th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2019-Fall)","volume":"31 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":"87371407","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 keep the operating temperature within the optimal range, a thermal management system (TMS) is used to cool down or warm up the battery. Understanding the heat generation characteristics and temperature distribution of the lithium-ion batteries is essential to design an effective TMS. In this paper, the surface temperature distribution over a 20Ah lithium-ion polymer battery cell is measured under different charging and discharging conditions. A cell thermal model is then built using the ANSYS Fluent. The simulation results are correlated and validated well with the experimental data. The validated cell thermal model provides a design guideline to thermal management system in the level of battery module and pack.","PeriodicalId":6713,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 90th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2019-Fall)","volume":"1 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":"90567590","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 this paper we use discrete-time continuous-state space Markov chain to model the energy stored in the buffers. We consider two different energy management policies at the source - best-effort policy (BEP) and on-off policy (OOP) while only OOP is considered at the relay. Using these policies, two different cooperative transmission schemes are pre- sented. We also compare performance with direct transmission schemes.

Note that artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms could automatically select the significant features in the underlying data and globally find optimal solutions even for non-convex object functions. In this paper, we propose an AI-driven incentive scheme using a deep learning based reverse auction scheme, in order to achieve revenue-optimal, dominant-strategy incentive compatible objectives.

In the fifth generation (5G) mobile communication system, the support of various wireless communication services such as massive machine-type communications (mMTC), ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC), and enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) is expected. These services will serve different numbers of terminals and have different requirements regarding the spectrum efficiency and fairness among terminals. Furthermore, different operators may have different policies regarding the overall spectrum efficiency and fairness among services. Therefore, efficient radio resource allocation is essential during the multiplexing of multiple downlink service channels considering these requirements. The proposed method achieves better system performance than the conventional orthogonal multiple access (OMA)-based multiplexing method thanks to the wider transmission bandwidth per terminal and inter-terminal interference cancellation using the successive interference canceller (SIC). Computer simulation results reveal that the effectiveness of the proposed method is especially significant when the system prioritizes the fairness among terminals (including fairness among services).","PeriodicalId":6713,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 90th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2019-Fall)","volume":"21 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":"91167234","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 most current systems, the media center is capable of providing multiple streams of different qualities and each individual viewer selects its own stream based on channel condition and/or other considerations. This may result in inefficient use of radio resource. In this paper, we propose to let evolved node B, which has the channel conditions of all viewers, decide which streams should be delivered so that the total throughput is maximized, subject to the constraints that every viewer can successfully decode at least one stream and the radio resource consumed is under a pre-determined threshold. For a system that has many possible modulation and coding schemes, it requires huge computational complexity to obtain the optimum solution. We present a greedy algorithm which tends to find a solution that allows more viewers to decode higher quality streams. Simulation results show that the total throughputs achieved by the greedy algorithm for various scenarios are close to those of the optimum solutions.","PeriodicalId":6713,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 90th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2019-Fall)","volume":"54 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":"86053762","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 data recorded in the experimental measurements using live cellular signals are used to study the performance of two direction acquisition methods: the Angle of Arrival (AoA) estimation and downlink-based beam sweep. Next, the feasibility of signal tracking techniques exploiting the location of the vehicle and the BS are investigated to alleviate the need for continuous direction acquisition. The results show that the downlink-based beam sweep leads to higher Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR) than beamforming based on the estimated AoA. Evaluated tracking techniques are shown to be capable of correctly estimating the beamforming angle for distances in order of hundreds of meters when BS's location is known to the vehicle.","PeriodicalId":6713,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 90th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2019-Fall)","volume":"69 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":"86081939","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}

Unlike the general unconstrained environment, the range of detectable face sizes and locations can be estimated in the vehicle environment. In this paper, we propose the Detectable Object-sizes Range Estimation algorithm (DORE) to estimates the range of detectable face sizes through specific information in the vehicle environment. The DORE algorithm makes images, in which a face is likely to be detected in the in-vehicle environment, to be fed into a face detection algorithm, such as Multi-task cascaded Convolutional Neural Networks (MTCNN) which stably detect faces rather than others. Our experiment shows that DORE applied MTCNN not only had the same performance as MTCNN in terms of accuracy but also had relatively low processing time in the vehicle environment.","PeriodicalId":6713,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 90th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2019-Fall)","volume":"37 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":"86145036","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}

Nonetheless, the trade- off between these and other network aspects, mainly delay and bandwidth, is a constant optimisational question and a tough challenge. The various employed protocols add certain encapsulation overheads, which albeit necessary, however could potentially be excessive, such as in the case of various IoT, and similar applications with small payloads. Header compression aims to reduce these headers, but a general problem still plagues the standards since their introduction to loss-prone wireless networks, which is the issue of lost context (re)initialisation packets that can make the compression upstart and the transmission of major changes unreliable, slow and costly. In this paper we propose a solution that circumvents some concerns of traditional header compression context initialisation by the employment of network coding, which we call the reliable base proposal technique. This provides a finely tunable method for balancing reliability and delay of decompression with bandwidth gain. Our results show that both compression gain and reliability can be increased over the previous standards.","PeriodicalId":6713,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 90th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2019-Fall)","volume":"28 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":"86453163","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}
