In this paper, we show how each independent spatial mode of a circular array can be individually encoded and collimated to yield high ergodic spectral sum efficiency of an uplink mobile communication system. We show that every mode generated with the help of Rotman Lens is orthogonal to every other mode. This reduces the spatial cross-coupling and thereby enhances data throughput.We also show that
It is well established that the utilization of unused millimeter-wave (mmWave) spectrum is inevitable due to unavailability of required bandwidth in the conventional RF band to support the high data demands of 5G. Large antenna arrays with beamforming capabilities are required to compensate for the high path loss at mmWave frequencies. We are at the verge of a massive mmWave radio front-end deploy
A resonant characteristic mode (CM) is useful for antenna design if it is properly excited and well matched to the source. In this paper, we consider the feed design for the excitation of the fundamental CM of a rectangular chassis. The tradeoff between the required number of capacitive coupling elements (CCE) and matching elements used for achieving a given antenna bandwidth is studied. The resul
Generalized low-density parity-check (GLDPC) codes are a class of LDPC codes in which the standard single parity check (SPC) constraints are replaced by more general constraints, viz., constraints defined by a linear block code. These stronger constraints typically result in improved error floor performance, due to better minimum distance and trapping set properties, at a cost of some increased de
In multiuser multiple–input multiple–output (MU–MIMO) systems, channel correlation is detrimental to system performance. We demonstrate that widely used, yet overly simplified, correlation models that generate identical correlation profiles for each terminal tend to severely underestimate the system performance. In sharp contrast, more physically motivated models that capture variations in the pow
This paper proposes a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) slot antenna array for wideband gigabyte mobile radio application in E-band. The wideband unit cell design is based on simultaneous feeding of 4-element radiation slots with a higher order cavity mode directly excited by a simple slot aperture fed by a microstrip fork-like tuning stub. Employing the higher order mode along with the slot ap
We present a CRC-aided decodingscheme of LDPC codes that can outperform the underlying LDPC code underordered statistic decoding (OSD). In this scheme, the CRC is usedjointly with the LDPC code to construct a candidate list, insteadof conventionally being regarded as a detection code to prunethe list generated by the LDPC code alone. As an example weconsider a (128,64) 5G LDPC code with BP decodi
A platoon comprises a string of consecutive highly automated vehicles traveling together. Platooning allows for increased road utilization and reduced fuel consumption due to short inter-vehicular distances. Safety in terms of guaranteeing no rear-end collisions is of utmost importance for platooning systems to be deployed in practice. We compare how safely emergency braking can be handled by emer
This paper present a 6DoF-positioning method and shape estimation method for cars from monocular images.We pre-learn principal components, using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), from the shape of cars anduse a learnt encoder-decoder structure in order to position the cars and create binary masks of each camera instance. The proposed method is tailored towards usefulness for autonomous driving a
Vehicular networks allow for a variety of applications ranging from platooning to fully automated driving. Most of such applications require the vehicles that constitute the networks to be aware of their relative or absolute position as well as the position of nearby vehicles. To this end, multiple positioning methods can be employed, among such methods are Global Positioning Systems or methods th
In this paper, we derive the exact input/output transfer functions of the optimal a-posteriori probability channel detector for a general ISI channel with erasures. Considering three channel impulse responses of different memory as an example, we compute the BP and MAP thresholds for regular spatially coupled LDPC codes with joint iterative detection and decoding. When we compare the results with
A reflective metasurface with reconfigurable beam is proposed for indoor wireless communications. It consists of 8 × 8 unit cells with tunable capacitors. By varying the capacitances, the reflective phase across the metasurface can be designed to facilitate different reflective angles for an incident wave. The simulation results show that the proposed reflective metasurface can deflect the incomin
Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) wireless communication is expected to play a key role in enabling complex Advanced Driving Assistance Applications, including the support of emerging autonomous vehicles. The development of V2X applications, especially safety-related, requires rigorous verification. Field trials, though, have to be supplemented with less expensive and more repeatable methods. Thorough V
Multi-carrier technique is a backbone for modern commercial networks. However, the performances of multi-carrier systems in general depend greatly on the qualities of acquired channel state information (CSI). In this paper, we propose a novel deep-learning based processing pipeline to estimate CSI for payload time-frequency resource elements. The proposed pipeline contains two cascaded subblocks,
This paper presents an analysis of channel characteristics for an outdoor scenario at the frequency band of 28-30 GHz. A geometry-based clustering algorithm is proposed to group the measured multipath components (MPCs) based on the interaction points on the surrounding walls or objects obtained from Ray Tracing 3-D simulations, which is more physically interpretable than the traditional clustering
This paper proposes a belief propagation (BP)-based algorithm for sequential detection and estimation of multipath component (MPC) parameters based on radio signals. Under dynamic channel conditions with moving transmitter/receiver, the number of MPCs, the MPC dispersion parameters, and the number of false alarm contributions are unknown and time-varying. We develop a Bayesian model for sequential
Multigene assays for molecular subtypes and biomarkers can aid management of early invasive breast cancer. Using RNA-sequencing we aimed to develop single-sample predictor (SSP) models for clinical markers, subtypes, and risk of recurrence (ROR). A cohort of 7743 patients was divided into training and test set. We trained SSPs for subtypes and ROR assigned by nearest-centroid (NC) methods and SSPs
The concept of Channel Shortening (CS) is a well-known technique that has a rich history over 40 years. CS transfers linear vector channels such as multi-input multi-output (MIMO) and intersymbol interference (ISI) channels into ``shortened'' versions, for the purpose of reducing demodulation-complexity and improving data-transmission performance. The original CS idea can trace back to the minimum
A coupling element is typically used to excite one of more characteristic modes of a structure to form some desired radiation properties. In particular, non-resonant coupling elements (CEs) are attractive, since it is electrically small and can be more conveniently integrated into the structure, such as the chassis of a mobile terminal. In this case, the chassis is the primary radiator of the mobi
