Localisation of mobile nodes in wireless networks with correlated in time measurement noise.
Wireless sensor networks are an inherent part of decision making, object tracking and location awareness systems. This work is focused on simultaneous localisation of mobile nodes based on received signal strength indicators (RSSIs) with correlated in time measurement noises. Two approaches to deal with the correlated measurement noises are proposed in the framework of auxiliary particle filtering: with a noise augmented state vector and the second approach implements noise decorrelation. The performance of the two proposed multi model auxiliary particle filters (MM AUX-PFs) is validated over simulated and real RSSIs and high localisation accuracy is demonstrated

ns-3 Implementation of the 3GPP MIMO Channel Model for Frequency Spectrum above 6 GHz
Communications at mmWave frequencies will be a key enabler of the next
generation of cellular networks, due to the multi-Gbps rate that can be
achieved. However, there are still several problems that must be solved before
this technology can be widely adopted, primarily associated with the interplay
between the variability of mmWave links and the complexity of mobile networks.
An end-to-end network simulator represents a great tool to assess the
performance of any proposed solution to meet the stringent 5G requirements.
Given the criticality of channel propagation characteristics at higher
frequencies, we present our implementation of the 3GPP channel model for the
6-100 GHz band for the ns-3 end-to-end 5G mmWave module, and detail its
associated MIMO beamforming architecture
A Measurement Based Shadow Fading Model for Vehicle-to-Vehicle Network Simulations
The vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) propagation channel has significant implications
on the design and performance of novel communication protocols for vehicular ad
hoc networks (VANETs). Extensive research efforts have been made to develop V2V
channel models to be implemented in advanced VANET system simulators for
performance evaluation. The impact of shadowing caused by other vehicles has,
however, largely been neglected in most of the models, as well as in the system
simulations. In this paper we present a shadow fading model targeting system
simulations based on real measurements performed in urban and highway
scenarios. The measurement data is separated into three categories,
line-of-sight (LOS), obstructed line-of-sight (OLOS) by vehicles, and non
line-of-sight due to buildings, with the help of video information recorded
during the measurements. It is observed that vehicles obstructing the LOS
induce an additional average attenuation of about 10 dB in the received signal
power. An approach to incorporate the LOS/OLOS model into existing VANET
simulators is also provided. Finally, system level VANET simulation results are
presented, showing the difference between the LOS/OLOS model and a channel
model based on Nakagami-m fading.Comment: 10 pages, 12 figures, submitted to Hindawi International Journal of
