Detection Algorithms for Molecular MIMO
In this paper, we propose a novel design for molecular communication in which
both the transmitter and the receiver have, in a 3-dimensional environment,
multiple bulges (in RF communication this corresponds to antenna). The proposed
system consists of a fluid medium, information molecules, a transmitter, and a
receiver. We simulate the system with a one-shot signal to obtain the channel's
finite impulse response. We then incorporate this result within our
mathematical analysis to determine interference. Molecular communication has a
great need for low complexity, hence, the receiver may have incomplete
information regarding the system and the channel state. Thus, for the cases of
limited information set at the receiver, we propose three detection algorithms,
namely adaptive thresholding, practical zero forcing, and Genie-aided zero
forcing.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures, 2015 IEEE ICC accepte
Failure Analysis in Next-Generation Critical Cellular Communication Infrastructures
The advent of communication technologies marks a transformative phase in
critical infrastructure construction, where the meticulous analysis of failures
becomes paramount in achieving the fundamental objectives of continuity,
security, and availability. This survey enriches the discourse on failures,
failure analysis, and countermeasures in the context of the next-generation
critical communication infrastructures. Through an exhaustive examination of
existing literature, we discern and categorize prominent research orientations
with focuses on, namely resource depletion, security vulnerabilities, and
system availability concerns. We also analyze constructive countermeasures
tailored to address identified failure scenarios and their prevention.
Furthermore, the survey emphasizes the imperative for standardization in
addressing failures related to Artificial Intelligence (AI) within the ambit of
the sixth-generation (6G) networks, accounting for the forward-looking
perspective for the envisioned intelligence of 6G network architecture. By
identifying new challenges and delineating future research directions, this
survey can help guide stakeholders toward unexplored territories, fostering
innovation and resilience in critical communication infrastructure development
and failure prevention
Sparse Signal Processing Concepts for Efficient 5G System Design
As it becomes increasingly apparent that 4G will not be able to meet the
emerging demands of future mobile communication systems, the question what
could make up a 5G system, what are the crucial challenges and what are the key
drivers is part of intensive, ongoing discussions. Partly due to the advent of
compressive sensing, methods that can optimally exploit sparsity in signals
have received tremendous attention in recent years. In this paper we will
describe a variety of scenarios in which signal sparsity arises naturally in 5G
wireless systems. Signal sparsity and the associated rich collection of tools
and algorithms will thus be a viable source for innovation in 5G wireless
system design. We will discribe applications of this sparse signal processing
paradigm in MIMO random access, cloud radio access networks, compressive
channel-source network coding, and embedded security. We will also emphasize
important open problem that may arise in 5G system design, for which sparsity
will potentially play a key role in their solution.Comment: 18 pages, 5 figures, accepted for publication in IEEE Acces
Improvement of indoor VLC network downlink scheduling and resource allocation
Indoor visible light communications (VLC) combines illumination and communication by utilizing the high-modulation-speed of LEDs. VLC is anticipated to be complementary to radio frequency communications and an important part of next generation heterogeneous networks. In order to make the maximum use of VLC technology in a networking environment, we need to expand existing research from studies of traditional point-to-point links to encompass scheduling and resource allocation related to multi-user scenarios. This work aims to maximize the downlink throughput of an indoor VLC network, while taking both user fairness and time latency into consideration. Inter-user interference is eliminated by appropriately allocating LEDs to users with the aid of graph theory. A three-term priority factor model is derived and is shown to improve the throughput performance of the network scheduling scheme over those previously reported. Simulations of VLC downlink scheduling have been performed under proportional fairness scheduling principles where our newly formulated priority factor model has been applied. The downlink throughput is improved by 19.6% compared to previous two-term priority models, while achieving similar fairness and latency performance. When the number of users grows larger, the three-term priority model indicates an improvement in Fairness performance compared to two-term priority model scheduling
