Performance Evaluation of Adaptive Cooperative NOMA Protocol at Road Junctions

Vehicular communications (VCs) protocols offer useful contributions in the context of accident prevention thanks to the transmission of alert messages. This is even truer at road intersections since these areas exhibit higher collision risks and accidents rate. On the other hand, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been show to be a suitable candidate for five generation (5G) of wireless systems. In this paper, we propose and evaluate the performance of VCs protocol at road intersections, named adaptive cooperative NOMA (ACN) protocol. The transmission occurs between a source and two destinations. The transmission is subject to interference originated from vehicles located on the roads. The positions of the interfering vehicles follow a Poison point process (PPP). First, we calculate the outage probability related to ACN protocol, and closed form expressions are obtained. Then we compare it with other existing protocols in the literature. We show that ACN protocol offers a significant improvement over the existing protocols in terms of outage probability, especially at the intersection. We show that the performance of ACN protocol increases compared to other existing protocols for high data rates. The theoretical results are verified with Monte-Carlo simulations

Interference modeling of wireless cooperative systems

The main goal of this thesis is to study the impact of interference on cooperative vehicular communications (VCs) with the aid of stochastic geometry tools. This thesis also proposes a framework to model interference in cooperative VCs. First, we study the effects of interference dependence on the received node for several transmission schemes, different channel models, and two mobility models. The performance in terms of outage probability is investigated. Second, we investigate the improvement of using non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) in the performance in terms of outage probability and average achievable rate for several transmission schemes. The results show that NOMA improves significantly the performance. We also investigate conditions in which NOMA outperforms OMA. Finally, studies are conducted: 1) an adaptive cooperative NOMA protocol is proposed, 2) an analysis of millimeter waves (mmWave) vehicular networks is carried out, 3) extension scenarios are investigated such as multiple relays, multiple hops, or multiples lanes

Cooperative Radio Communications for Green Smart Environments

The demand for mobile connectivity is continuously increasing, and by 2020 Mobile and Wireless Communications will serve not only very dense populations of mobile phones and nomadic computers, but also the expected multiplicity of devices and sensors located in machines, vehicles, health systems and city infrastructures. Future Mobile Networks are then faced with many new scenarios and use cases, which will load the networks with different data traffic patterns, in new or shared spectrum bands, creating new specific requirements. This book addresses both the techniques to model, analyse and optimise the radio links and transmission systems in such scenarios, together with the most advanced radio access, resource management and mobile networking technologies. This text summarises the work performed by more than 500 researchers from more than 120 institutions in Europe, America and Asia, from both academia and industries, within the framework of the COST IC1004 Action on "Cooperative Radio Communications for Green and Smart Environments". The book will have appeal to graduates and researchers in the Radio Communications area, and also to engineers working in the Wireless industry. Topics discussed in this book include: • Radio waves propagation phenomena in diverse urban, indoor, vehicular and body environments• Measurements, characterization, and modelling of radio channels beyond 4G networks• Key issues in Vehicle (V2X) communication• Wireless Body Area Networks, including specific Radio Channel Models for WBANs• Energy efficiency and resource management enhancements in Radio Access Networks• Definitions and models for the virtualised and cloud RAN architectures• Advances on feasible indoor localization and tracking techniques• Recent findings and innovations in antenna systems for communications• Physical Layer Network Coding for next generation wireless systems• Methods and techniques for MIMO Over the Air (OTA) testin

Study on open science: The general state of the play in Open Science principles and practices at European life sciences institutes

Nowadays, open science is a hot topic on all levels and also is one of the priorities of the European Research Area. Components that are commonly associated with open science are open access, open data, open methodology, open source, open peer review, open science policies and citizen science. Open science may a great potential to connect and influence the practices of researchers, funding institutions and the public. In this paper, we evaluate the level of openness based on public surveys at four European life sciences institute
