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.

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}

Although modern parking lots have installed the sensing and display systems to inform drivers on the availability of parking areas, such systems are unable to tell drivers exact parking spots and make any recommendation to improve the traffic conditions and driver experiences. In this paper, a novel analytic- based smart parking system clustering Internet of Things, smart mobile devices and edge computing is proposed. This novel parking system aims at providing customized parking experience to users through highly accurate positioning and user status detection which are achieved by joint mobile sensing-machine learning based analytics as the edge intelligence. Based on the proof-of-concept implementation, the proposed scheme can achieve 99.1% positioning accuracy of a parking spot; in terms of user status sensing, especially getting in a car and out of a car, detection accuracy shows 96%; finally, it shows much shorter service consumption time of 15.6 times than the legacy approach.","PeriodicalId":6713,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 90th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2019-Fall)","volume":"2 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":"72940325","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}

Different from most existing works, the proposed scheme takes the non-uniform service area where there are various obstacles within it into fully consideration. Sufficient simulations have been done to evaluate the performance of the GA- based deployment scheme by comparing with the uniform deployment scheme. Simulation results indicate that the total transmit power can be significantly reduced by leveraging the proposed scheme while guaranteeing the full coverage of the desired service area. At the same time, the overlap rate of the WLAN can also be significantly reduced by the proposed scheme.","PeriodicalId":6713,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 90th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2019-Fall)","volume":"58 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":"73096702","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}

However, gathering diagnostics datasets to train supervised fault detection models is still challenging. Precise correlation of input data and defect events is non-trivial and requires extensive support of domain experts. Additionally, a strong imbalance caused by rare faulty events results in models which are biased towards non-faulty events. Hence, in this work, we propose a fully unsupervised data- driven diagnostics approach to detect faults in high frequency in-vehicle data. We transfer the concept of deep embedded clustering for static data to multivariate in- vehicle time series. We extend the approach by modifying the neural network architecture and comparing three similarity measures in the clustering layer, i.e., soft dynamic time warping, complexity invariant distance, and Euclidean distance. We further introduce an adapted target distribution to tackle imbalanced datasets. Our approach is evaluated on multivariate high frequency electronic control unit data of a test vehicle to detect pre-ignitions in high pressure turbocharged petrol engines. Current state-of-the-art time series clustering approaches are used as baselines for performance comparison. The results show that our approach is able to identify pre-ignitions without labels and outperforms the baselines by 10 percent in terms of accuracy.","PeriodicalId":6713,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 90th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2019-Fall)","volume":"1 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":"73121587","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}

As the Access Point (AP) initiates the uplink OFDMA operation via a trigger, this operation provides an additional means for the STAs to gain medium access. Consequently, to retain fairness in the network and reduce contention, a novel MU EDCA channel access mode has been introduced in 802.11ax standard to temporarily deprioritize medium access for STAs participating in uplink OFDMA operation. In this paper, we implement the key components of 802.11ax OFDMA operation in custom ns-3 network simulator and evaluate the impact of MU EDCA channel access mode on 802.11ax dense WLAN performance under various network and traffic conditions. Our results show that (a) temporarily switching to MU EDCA channel access mode significantly improves network performance in terms of throughput and real-time application latency (b) the duration of temporary switch to MU EDCA channel access mode has negligible impact on network performance and (c) 200 ms of MU EDCA channel access mode can potentially support a dense network of almost 2000 STAs.","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":"73785523","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}
