In this paper, we propose and evaluate novel mm-wave beam alignment and beam reconstruction techniques using deep learning models. The novel techniques are comprised of using ML for environment reconstruction, ie by observing a few angles of arrivals and departures, the ML model guesses the Tx and RX locations and optimizes the beams based on the e...

Training these large arrays using conventional approaches taken at lower carrier frequenci...

Relay selection is a simple technique that achieves spatial diversity in cooperative relay networks. Generally, relay selection algorithms require channel state information (CSI) feedback from all cooperating relays in order to make a selection decision. This requirement poses two important challenges which are often neglected in the literature. Fi...

In this paper, we propose a feedback reduction scheme for full-duplex relay-aided multiuser networks. The proposed scheme permits the base station (BS) to obtain channel state information (CSI) from a subset of strong users under substantially reduced feedback overhead. More specifically, we cast the problem of user identification and CSI estimatio...

Relay selection is a simple technique that achieves spatial diversity in cooperative relay networks. However, for relay selection algorithms to make a selection decision, channel state information (CSI) from all cooperating relays is usually required at a central node. This requirement poses two important chal-lenges. Firstly, CSI acquisition gener...

Opportunistic schedulers rely on the feedback of the channel state information of users in order to perform user selection and downlink scheduling. This feedback increases with the number of users, and can lead to inefficient use of network resources and scheduling delays. We tackle the problem of feedback design, and propose a novel class of nonor...

In multi-antenna broadcast networks, the base stations (BSs) rely on the channel state information (CSI) of the users to perform user scheduling and downlink transmission. However, in networks with large number of users, obtaining CSI from all users is arduous, if not impossible, in practice. This paper proposes channel feedback reduction technique...

A key task of smart meters is to securely report the power consumption of households and provide dynamic pricing to consumers. While transmission to all meters can be performed via a simple broadcast, several challenges are faced during the reporting process.

Opportunistic schedulers rely on the feedback of all users in order to schedule a set of users with favorable channel conditions. While the downlink channels can be easily estimated at all user terminals via a single broadcast, several key challenges are faced during uplink transmission. First of all, the statistics of the noisy and fading feedback...

Opportunistic schedulers improve the network capacity by allocating the network resources to users with good link qualities. A drawback of these schedulers is that they deprive the remaining users from receiving a fair share of the network resources, or violate their quality-of-service (QoS) requirements. Fair schedulers on the other hand impose a...

This feedback reduction is achieved by grouping users into categories, and requesting feedback from users that belon...

In this paper, we propose a scheduling algorithm that reduces the feedback load with no penalty loss in the spectral efficiency when compared to the optimal selective diversity scheme (Harthi etal. in IEEE Trans Wirel Commun 6(1), 2007). In order to reduce the feedback rate, a two stage probing technique is introduced. In the first stage, the sched...

In this paper, we propose a scheduling algorithm that reduces the feedback load and guard time requirements for adaptive modulation multi-carrier systems. Instead of fixing a probing threshold in a polling-based system, we vary the probing threshold and allow users to feed back quantized information indicating their channel’s state. The probing thr...
