Medium Access Control for Wireless Sensor Networks based on Impulse Radio Ultra Wideband
This paper describes a detailed performance evaluation of distributed Medium
Access Control (MAC) protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks based on Impulse
Radio Ultra Wideband (IR-UWB) Physical layer (PHY). Two main classes of Medium
Access Control protocol have been considered: Slotted and UnSlotted with
reliability. The reliability is based on Automatic Repeat ReQuest (ARQ). The
performance evaluation is performed using a complete Wireless Sensor Networks
(WSN) simulator built on the Global Mobile Information System Simulator
(GloMoSim). The optimal operating parameters are first discussed for IR-UWB in
terms of slot size, retransmission delay and the number of retransmission, then
a comparison between IR-UWB and other transmission techniques in terms of
reliability latency and power efficiency
Channel Estimation for Millimeter-Wave Massive MIMO with Hybrid Precoding over Frequency-Selective Fading Channels
Channel estimation for millimeter-wave (mmWave) massive MIMO with hybrid
precoding is challenging, since the number of radio frequency (RF) chains is
usually much smaller than that of antennas. To date, several channel estimation
schemes have been proposed for mmWave massive MIMO over narrow-band channels,
while practical mmWave channels exhibit the frequency-selective fading (FSF).
To this end, this letter proposes a multi-user uplink channel estimation scheme
for mmWave massive MIMO over FSF channels. Specifically, by exploiting the
angle-domain structured sparsity of mmWave FSF channels, a distributed
compressive sensing (DCS)-based channel estimation scheme is proposed.
Moreover, by using the grid matching pursuit strategy with adaptive measurement
matrix, the proposed algorithm can solve the power leakage problem caused by
the continuous angles of arrival or departure (AoA/AoD). Simulation results
verify that the good performance of the proposed solution.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, accepted by IEEE Communications Letters. This
