Challenges for 5G and Beyond

May 11, 2022
Author(s)
Jelena Senic
In this paper, we discuss some challenges for 5G-and-beyond communications systems based on our measurements conducted with millimeter-wave (mmWave) channel sounders. One study analyzes path loss at 28 GHz vs. 83 GHz and in line-of-sight conditions vs. non

Methodology for Measuring the Frequency Dependence of Multipath Channels Across the Millimeter-Wave Bands

Author(s)
Damla Guven, Ben Jamroz, Jack Chuang, Camillo Gentile, Rob Horansky, Kate Remley, Dylan Williams, Jeanne Quimby, Rod Leonhardt
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications promise Gigabits-per-second data rates thanks to the availability of large swaths of bandwidth between 10–100 GHz. Although cellular operators prefer the lower portions of the bands due to the general belief that

Jerome Cheron, Dylan Williams, Richard Chamberlin, Miguel Urteaga, Paul D. Hale, Rob Jones, Ari Feldman
We report a monolithic microwave integrated-circuit (MMIC) comb generator capable of producing a repetitive narrow pulse (7.1 ps pulse duration) with sharp edges (4.2 ps falling time). The circuit is designed in a 250 nm Indium Phosphide (InP)

Measurements of IP3 and P1dB for Spectrum Monitoring with Software Defined Radios

March 30, 2022
Author(s)
Mike McNulty, Dazhen Gu, Dan Kuester, Payam Nayeri
This paper discusses methodology for characterizing linearity summary parameters of software-defined radio receivers. First, we introduce a highly automated testbed for 1-dB compression point (P1dB) and third-order input intercept point (IIP3). With this

Quantifying Receiver Nonlinearities in VNA Measurements for the WR-15 Waveguide Band

March 15, 2022
Author(s)
Angela Stelson, Aaron Hagerstrom, Jeffrey Jargon, Chris Long
Scattering (S-) parameters are fundamental to numerous microwave quantities including antenna factors, microwave power, and phase. The uncertainty in S-parameter measurements is influenced by the test setup, including instrument noise, drift, position of

Analyzing 5G NR-U and WiGig Coexistence with Multiple-Beam Directional LBT

February 15, 2022
Author(s)
Yao Ma, Susanna Mosleh, Jason Coder
The mmWave radio frequency (RF) spectrum allocations provide a large bandwidth and an excellent dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) opportunity for emerging 5G New-Radio unlicensed (NR-U) and Wireless Gigabit (WiGig) services. To support constructive DSS, we

Wireless Time Sensitive Networking Impact on an Industrial Collaborative Robotic Workcell

February 15, 2022
Author(s)
Susruth Sudhakaran, Karl Montgomery, Mohamed Hany, Dave Cavalcanti, Rick Candell
In this paper, we describe a collaborative robotic workcell testbed enabled by Wireless Time Sensitive Networking (WTSN) technologies and discuss deployment, performance measurement and management guidelines challenges. We detail the methodologies for

Empirical Differences in LTE Open- and Closed-Loop power Control

February 10, 2022
Author(s)
Azizollah Kord, Jason Coder, Aric Sanders
We present the empirical Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) radiated power of a User Equipment (UE) in a commercial Long-Term Evolution (LTE) frequency division duplex system. We measured the radiated PUSCH channel power while varying 28 different

Deep Learning for Radar Signal Detection in the 3.5 GHz CBRS Band

Raied Caromi, Alex Lackpour, Kassem Kallas, Thao T. Nguyen
This paper presents a comprehensive framework for generating radio frequency (RF) datasets, designing deep learning (DL) detectors, and evaluating their detection performance using both simulated and experimental test data. The proposed tools and

Markov Multi-Beamtracking in SU-MIMO with 60 GHz Mobile Channel Measurements

December 28, 2021
Author(s)
Steve Blandino, Jelena Senic, Camillo Gentile, Derek Caudill
Beamforming training refers to the exhaustive scan over which the receiver and transmitter beams are steered along a predefined set of angles to determine the beam pairs that coincide with the dominant channel paths, for spatial multiplexing. In the

Admission Control and Scheduling of Isochronous Traffic in IEEE 802.11ad MAC

December 20, 2021
Author(s)
Anirudha Sahoo, Weichao Gao, Tanguy Ropitault, Nada T. Golmie
An upsurge of bandwidth hungry applications such as virtual reality, augmented reality and availability of unlicensed spectrum in the mmWave band at 60 GHz have led to standardization of the next generation WiFi such as IEEE 802.11ad and 802.11ay. Due to

On Convergence of the Upper Bound on the Ratio of Gain to Quality Factor

December 6, 2021
Author(s)
Alex Yuffa, Marc Valdez, Benoit Derat
An antenna's practical far-field distance can be estimated from the upper bound on the ratio of its gain to quality factor. This upper bound is an infinite series that can be truncated based on the desired far-field accuracy. We investigate the convergence

Jian Wang, Neeraj Varshney, Jiayi Zhang, David W. Griffith, Nada T. Golmie
Link abstraction is an efficient way for predicting link-level performance (e.g., whether the receiver successfully receives packets through communication links). It can be used to support system-level simulation and facilitate link adaption. Nonetheless
