Low-Complexity OFDM Spectral Precoding

This paper proposes a new large-scale mask compliant spectral precoder (LS-MSP) for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems. In this paper, we first consider a previously proposed mask-compliant spectral precoding scheme that utilizes a …

Learning-based tracking of AoAs and AoDs in mmWave networks

This paper considers a millimeter-wave communication system and proposes an efficient channel estimation scheme with a minimum number of pilots. We model the dynamics of the channel’s second-order statistics by a Markov process and develop a learning …

Bayesian model selection for change point detection and clustering

We address a generalization of change point detection with the purpose of detecting the change locations and the levels of clusters of a piece- wise constant signal. Our approach is to model it as a nonparametric penalized least square model …

Musicians' Initial Encounters with a Smart Guitar

This paper presents a case study of a fully working prototype of the Sensus smart guitar. Eleven professional guitar players were interviewed after a prototype test session. The smartness of the guitar was perceived as enabling the integration of a …

Fast and Reliable Initial Cell-search for mmWave Networks

In millimeter-wave wireless networks, the use of narrow beams, required to compensate for the severe path-loss, complicates the cell-discovery and initial access. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of random beam forming and enhanced …

Reducing Initial Cell-search Latency in mmWave Networks

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) networks rely on directional transmissions, in both control plane and data plane, to overcome severe path-loss. Nevertheless, the use of narrow beams complicates the initial cell-search procedure where we lack sufficient …

Fundamental Constraints for Time-slotted MAC Design in Wireless High Performance : the Realistic Perspective of Timing

How to Split UL/DL Antennas in Full-Duplex Cellular Networks

To further improve the potential of full-duplex communications, networks may employ multiple antennas at the base station or user equipment. To this end, networks that employ current radios usually deal with self-interference and multi-user …

Power Allocation for Channel Estimation and EnergyBeamforming in Wirelessly Powered Sensor Networks

Wirelessly powered sensor networks (WPSNs) are becoming increasingly important to monitor many internet-of-things systems. In these WPSNs, dedicated base stations (BSs) with multiple antennas charge the sensor nodes without the need of replacing …
