Siyuan Feng, Hyong-Ah Choi, David W. Griffith, Richard A. Rouil
The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) defines various pre-configured channel parameters for the Long- Term Evolution (LTE) Device-to-Device (D2D) communications with Physical Sidelink (SL) Channels. In this paper, we investigate the impacts of

A Graph Database Approach to Wireless IIoT Work-cell Performance Evaluation

February 28, 2020
Author(s)
Richard Candell, Mohamed T. Hany, Yongkang Liu, Karl R. Montgomery, Sebti Foufou
The work-cell is an essential industrial environment for testing wireless communication techniques in factory automation processes. A new testbed was recently designed and developed to facilitate such studies in work-cells by replicating various data flows

On Upper Bounds for D2D Group Size

February 27, 2020
Author(s)
David W. Griffith, Aziza Ben Mosbah
In this paper, we examine the Physical Sidelink Discovery Channel (PSDCH) for out-of-coverage (OOC) Device-to-Device (D2D) Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks using direct discovery for User Equipments (UEs) that are half-duplex. We derive upper bounds for

Millimeter-Wave Highly-Multipath Channel Measurements

February 21, 2020

Alec Weiss, Joshua Kast, Rob Jones, Jeanne Quimby, Rodney Leonhardt, Benjamin Jamroz, Peter Vouras, Dylan Williams, Kate Remley
We provide the frequency response of a high multipath propagation channel using a narrow beamwidth synthetic aperture measurement technique from 26.5 - 40 GHz.

Simplified Ray Tracing for the Millimeter Wave Channel: A Performance Evaluation

February 14, 2020
Author(s)
Mattia Lecci, Paolo Testolina, Marco Giordani, Michele Polese, Tanguy Ropitault, Camillo Gentile, Neeraj Varshney, Michele Zorzi
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication is one of the cornerstone innovations of fifth- generation (5G) wireless networks, thanks to the massive bandwidth available in these frequency bands. To correctly assess the performance of such systems, however, it

Field-Only Surface Integral Equations: Scattering from a Dielectric Body

February 1, 2020
Author(s)
Qiang Sun, Evert Klaseboer, Alex Yuffa, Derek Y. Chan
An efficient field-only nonsingular surface integral method to solve Maxwell's equations for the components of the electric field on the surface of a dielectric scatterer is introduced. In this method, both the vector wave equation and the divergence-free

Field-Only Surface Integral Equations: Scattering from a Perfect Electric Conductor

February 1, 2020
Author(s)
Qiang Sun, Evert Klaseboer, Alex Yuffa, Derek Y. Chan
A field-only boundary integral formulation of electromagnetics is derived without the use of surface currents that appear in the Stratton--Chu formulation. For scattering by a perfect electrical conductor (PEC), the components of the electric field are

DARPA Organic Interconnect Characterization

Author(s)
Anthony B. Kos, Fabio C. Da Silva, Jason B. Coder, Craig W. Nelson, Grace E. Antonucci, Archita Hati
Imaging solutions based on wave scattering seek real-time performance, high dynamic range, and spatial accuracy at scales spanning from nanometers to thousands of kilometers. Compressed sensing algorithms use sparsity to reduce sample size during image

Effect of Federal Incumbent Activity on CBRS Commercial Service

December 19, 2019
Author(s)
Michael R. Souryal, Thao Nguyen
Federal Communications Commission rules for the 3.5 GHz Citizens Broadband Radio Service permit commercial systems to share 150 MHz of bandwidth with federal and other incumbents. To protect the federal incumbents, a spectrum coordinator---the Spectrum

Enhancing LAA Co-existence Using MIMO Under Imperfect Sensing

December 13, 2019
Author(s)
Somayeh Mosleh, Yao Ma, Jason B. Coder, Erik Perrins, Lingjia Liu
To meet the ever growing wireless network demands, in terms of subscribers and data throughput, operating long term evolution (LTE) in unlicensed bands, also known as license assisted access (LAA), is introduced as a promising solution. However, the LAA
