Development of Wireless Techniques in Data and Power Transmission - Application for Particle Physics Detectors
Wireless techniques have developed extremely fast over the last decade and
using them for data and power transmission in particle physics detectors is not
science- fiction any more. During the last years several research groups have
independently thought of making it a reality. Wireless techniques became a
mature field for research and new developments might have impact on future
particle physics experiments. The Instrumentation Frontier was set up as a part
of the SnowMass 2013 Community Summer Study [1] to examine the instrumentation
R&D for the particle physics research over the coming decades: {\guillemotleft}
To succeed we need to make technical and scientific innovation a priority in
the field {\guillemotright}. Wireless data transmission was identified as one
of the innovations that could revolutionize the transmission of data out of the
detector. Power delivery was another challenge mentioned in the same report. We
propose a collaboration to identify the specific needs of different projects
that might benefit from wireless techniques. The objective is to provide a
common platform for research and development in order to optimize effectiveness
and cost, with the aim of designing and testing wireless demonstrators for
large instrumentation systems
Turbo-like Iterative Multi-user Receiver Design for 5G Non-orthogonal Multiple Access
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NoMA) as an efficient way of radio resource
sharing has been identified as a promising technology in 5G to help improving
system capacity, user connectivity, and service latency in 5G communications.
This paper provides a brief overview of the progress of NoMA transceiver study
in 3GPP, with special focus on the design of turbo-like iterative multi-user
(MU) receivers. There are various types of MU receivers depending on the
combinations of MU detectors and interference cancellation (IC) schemes.
Link-level simulations show that expectation propagation algorithm (EPA) with
hybrid parallel interference cancellation (PIC) is a promising MU receiver,
which can achieve fast convergence and similar performance as message passing
algorithm (MPA) with much lower complexity.Comment: Accepted by IEEE 88th Vehicular Technology Conference (IEEE VTC-2018

A Universal Receiver for Uplink NOMA Systems
Given its capability in efficient radio resource sharing, non-orthogonal
multiple access (NOMA) has been identified as a promising technology in 5G to
improve the system capacity, user connectivity, and scheduling latency. A dozen
of uplink NOMA schemes have been proposed recently and this paper considers the
design of a universal receiver suitable for all potential designs of NOMA
schemes. Firstly, a general turbo-like iterative receiver structure is
introduced, under which, a universal expectation propagation algorithm (EPA)
detector with hybrid parallel interference cancellation (PIC) is proposed (EPA
in short). Link-level simulations show that the proposed EPA receiver can
achieve superior block error rate (BLER) performance with implementation
friendly complexity and fast convergence, and is always better than the
traditional codeword level MMSE-PIC receiver for various kinds of NOMA schemes.Comment: This paper has been accepted by IEEE/CIC International Conference on
Communications in China (ICCC 2018). 5 pages, 4 figure
Fall Prediction and Prevention Systems: Recent Trends, Challenges, and Future Research Directions.
Fall prediction is a multifaceted problem that involves complex interactions between physiological, behavioral, and environmental factors. Existing fall detection and prediction systems mainly focus on physiological factors such as gait, vision, and cognition, and do not address the multifactorial nature of falls. In addition, these systems lack efficient user interfaces and feedback for preventing future falls. Recent advances in internet of things (IoT) and mobile technologies offer ample opportunities for integrating contextual information about patient behavior and environment along with physiological health data for predicting falls. This article reviews the state-of-the-art in fall detection and prediction systems. It also describes the challenges, limitations, and future directions in the design and implementation of effective fall prediction and prevention systems
