Predictive resource allocation for URLLC using empirical mode decomposition

Abstract. Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) based hybrid prediction methods can be an efficient way to allocate resources for ultra reliable low latency communication (URLLC). In this thesis, we have considered efficient resource allocation for the downlink channel at the presence of several interferers. Initially, we have generated desired signal that we need to transmit in downlink and total interference signal that will affect the desired signal transmission. Then, we used EMD to decompose the total interference signal power into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and residual. Due to the properties of EMD, decomposed IMFs become less random as IMF number increases. As a result of that property, prediction model training process become less complex and prediction accuracy also increases as randomness of signal decreases. Long short term memory (LSTM) deep neural network method and auto regressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) time series method are deployed to predict future interference power values based on historical values. For each decomposed component (IMFs and residual), two prediction models have been trained using LSTM and ARIMA methods. Finally, predicted components of IMFs and residual are added together to form total predicted interference power. According to the predicted interference power, resources are allocated for downlink transmission of the signal and evaluated it with the baseline estimation techniques. The research demonstrates that the suggested method achieves near optimal resource allocation for URLLC

Timing and Carrier Synchronization in Wireless Communication Systems: A Survey and Classification of Research in the Last 5 Years

Timing and carrier synchronization is a fundamental requirement for any wireless communication system to work properly. Timing synchronization is the process by which a receiver node determines the correct instants of time at which to sample the incoming signal. Carrier synchronization is the process by which a receiver adapts the frequency and phase of its local carrier oscillator with those of the received signal. In this paper, we survey the literature over the last 5 years (2010–2014) and present a comprehensive literature review and classification of the recent research progress in achieving timing and carrier synchronization in single-input single-output (SISO), multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), cooperative relaying, and multiuser/multicell interference networks. Considering both single-carrier and multi-carrier communication systems, we survey and categorize the timing and carrier synchronization techniques proposed for the different communication systems focusing on the system model assumptions for synchronization, the synchronization challenges, and the state-of-the-art synchronization solutions and their limitations. Finally, we envision some future research directions

Mobile and Wireless Communications

Mobile and Wireless Communications have been one of the major revolutions of the late twentieth century. We are witnessing a very fast growth in these technologies where mobile and wireless communications have become so ubiquitous in our society and indispensable for our daily lives. The relentless demand for higher data rates with better quality of services to comply with state-of-the art applications has revolutionized the wireless communication field and led to the emergence of new technologies such as Bluetooth, WiFi, Wimax, Ultra wideband, OFDMA. Moreover, the market tendency confirms that this revolution is not ready to stop in the foreseen future. Mobile and wireless communications applications cover diverse areas including entertainment, industrialist, biomedical, medicine, safety and security, and others, which definitely are improving our daily life. Wireless communication network is a multidisciplinary field addressing different aspects raging from theoretical analysis, system architecture design, and hardware and software implementations. While different new applications are requiring higher data rates and better quality of service and prolonging the mobile battery life, new development and advanced research studies and systems and circuits designs are necessary to keep pace with the market requirements. This book covers the most advanced research and development topics in mobile and wireless communication networks. It is divided into two parts with a total of thirty-four stand-alone chapters covering various areas of wireless communications of special topics including: physical layer and network layer, access methods and scheduling, techniques and technologies, antenna and amplifier design, integrated circuit design, applications and systems. These chapters present advanced novel and cutting-edge results and development related to wireless communication offering the readers the opportunity to enrich their knowledge in specific topics as well as to explore the whole field of rapidly emerging mobile and wireless networks. We hope that this book will be useful for students, researchers and practitioners in their research studies
