Indoor wireless communications and applications
Chapter 3 addresses challenges in radio link and system design in indoor scenarios. Given the fact that most human activities take place in indoor environments, the need for supporting ubiquitous indoor data connectivity and location/tracking service becomes even more important than in the previous decades. Specific technical challenges addressed in this section are(i), modelling complex indoor radio channels for effective antenna deployment, (ii), potential of millimeter-wave (mm-wave) radios for supporting higher data rates, and (iii), feasible indoor localisation and tracking techniques, which are summarised in three dedicated sections of this chapter
Narrowband Interference Suppression in Wireless OFDM Systems
Signal distortions in communication systems
occur between the transmitter and the receiver; these
distortions normally cause bit errors at the receiver. In
addition interference by other signals may add to the
deterioration in performance of the communication link. In
order to achieve reliable communication, the effects of the
communication channel distortion and interfering signals
must be reduced using different techniques. The aim of this
paper is to introduce the fundamentals of Orthogonal
Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Orthogonal
Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), to review
and examine the effects of interference in a digital data
communication link and to explore methods for mitigating
or compensating for these effects
A Survey of Physical Layer Security Techniques for 5G Wireless Networks and Challenges Ahead
Physical layer security which safeguards data confidentiality based on the
information-theoretic approaches has received significant research interest
recently. The key idea behind physical layer security is to utilize the
intrinsic randomness of the transmission channel to guarantee the security in
physical layer. The evolution towards 5G wireless communications poses new
challenges for physical layer security research. This paper provides a latest
survey of the physical layer security research on various promising 5G
technologies, including physical layer security coding, massive multiple-input
multiple-output, millimeter wave communications, heterogeneous networks,
non-orthogonal multiple access, full duplex technology, etc. Technical
challenges which remain unresolved at the time of writing are summarized and
the future trends of physical layer security in 5G and beyond are discussed.Comment: To appear in IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communication
