Wireless Network Design for Emerging IIoT Applications: Reference Framework and Use Cases

April 16, 2019
Author(s)
Yongkang Liu, Mohamed T. Hany, Kang B. Lee, Lotfi Benmohamed, Richard Candell
In this paper we propose a framework that allows a designer to assess various physical and cyber factors involved in determining the performance of a wireless use case as well as evaluate their performance impacts in search for a design that leads to an

Optimal Dynamic Spectrum Access Scheme for Utilizing White Space in LTE Systems

April 15, 2019
Author(s)
Anirudha Sahoo, Timothy Hall, Robert C. Hagwood
In this study, we design and implement an algorithm for optimal dynamic spectrum access (DSA) in a shared spectrum system where the primary user (PU) is a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system. The cumulative hazard function from survival analysis is used to

A New Perspective on an Old Problem: Scattering by a Perfect Electric Conductor

April 14, 2019
Author(s)
Alexey J. Yuffa, Johannes Markkanen, Qiang Sun, Evert Klaseboer, Derek Y. Chan
We explore several different singular surface integral equation formulations. These formulations are specifically designed for time-harmonic scattering by a perfect electric conductor and are obtained by choosing non-conventional boundary unknowns.

Indoor Localization Accuracy of Major Smartphone Location Apps

April 14, 2019
Author(s)
Nader Moayeri, Chang Li, Lu Shi
NIST carried out comprehensive testing in five large buildings to evaluate the accuracy of Fused Location Provider (FLP) Application Programming Interface (API) running on Android phones with that of Core Location Framework running on iPhones. The testing

System Distortion Model for the Cross-Validation of Millimeter-Wave Channel Sounders

March 31, 2019
Author(s)
Camillo Gentile, Andreas Molisch, Jack Chuang, Anuraag Bodi, Anmol Bhardwaj, Ozgur Ozdemir, Ismail Guvenc, Zihang Cheng, Thomas Choi, Robert Mueller
Because millimeter-wave directional channel measurements are time-consuming and expensive to collect, there is considerable interest in combining measurement data obtained with different channel sounders in order to yield more comprehensive datasets. The

Interlaboratory Millimeter-Wave Channel Sounder Verification

March 30, 2019
Author(s)
Jeanne Quimby, David G. Michelson, Mustapha Bennai, Kate Remley, Joshua Kast, Alec Weiss
The channel sounder verification program within the National Institute of Standards and Technology-coordinated 5G mmWave Channel Model Alliance aims to place channel sounders on a sound metrological foundation by using well-established laboratory

Channel Characterization and Delay Optimization for Industrial Wireless Control Systems

March 4, 2019
Author(s)
Xiaolin Jiang, Zhibo Pang, Rick Candell, Dacfey Dzung, Michele Luvisotto, Carlo Fischione
Wireless communication is gaining popularity in industry for its simple deployment, mobility and low cost. Ultra low latency and high reliability requirements of mission critical industrial applications are highly demanding for wireless communication, and

Lets Keep Women in Microwaves

March 1, 2019
Author(s)
Catherine A. Remley
This is a column for the "Women in Microwaves" affinity group of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society, to be published in IEEE Microwave Magazine. The column discusses the well documented effect that after ten years or so into a science

Methodology for Multipath-Component Tracking in Millimeter-Wave Channel Modeling

March 1, 2019
Author(s)
Chiehping Lai, Roy Sun, Camillo Gentile, Peter B. Papazian, Jian Wang, Jelena Senic
In this paper, we describe an extensive channel-measurement campaign - including 325 unique transmitter-receiver configurations - conducted in a lecture room with our 3D double- directional 60-GHz channel sounder. The receiver was mounted on a mobile robot

Portable Verification Artifact for Millimeter-Wave-Frequency Channel Sounders

March 1, 2019
Author(s)
Jos N. Dortmans, Jeanne Quimby, Kate Remley, Dylan Williams, Jelena Senic, Roy Sun, Peter B. Papazian
We develop a portable artifact for the conducted verification of millimeter-wave-frequency channel sounders. The artifact is first characterized with a vector network analyzer, providing a high-dynamic range, traceable measurement and complete uncertainty

Mobile Device Security: Cloud and Hybrid Builds

February 21, 2019
Author(s)
Christopher J. Brown, Spike E. Dog, Sallie P. Edwards, Neil C. McNab, Matt Steele, Joshua M. Franklin
This document proposes a reference design on how to architect enterprise-class protection for mobile devices accessing corporate resources. The example solutions presented here can be used by any organization implementing an enterprise mobility management

Performance Assessment of Smart Meter Traffic over LTE Network Using SDR Testbed

February 18, 2019
Author(s)
Amirshahram Hematian, Wei Yu, David W. Griffith, Nada T. Golmie
In the smart grid, a variety of smart meters will be deployed to support diverse services, such as energy distribution management, grid monitoring and management, and the integration of renewable energy resources. On the power distribution side, regular

Impedance tuning with photoconductors to 40 GHz

January 22, 2019
Author(s)
Jasper A. Drisko, Ari D. Feldman, Franklyn J. Quinlan, James C. Booth, Nathan D. Orloff, Christian J. Long
Light has been widely used to control a variety of microwave devices, including switches, antennas, and detectors. Here, we present a photoconductive device integrated into a coplanar waveguide to tune complex impedances at microwave frequencies with

A User Application-Based Access Point Selection Algorithm for Dense WLANs

January 16, 2019
Author(s)
Munsuk Kim, Ye Na Kim, Sukyoung Lee, Nada T. Golmie, SeungSeob Lee
The current commercial access point (AP) selection schemes are mostly based on signal strength, but perform poorly in many situations because they ignore the actual load distributions among the APs. To address this shortcoming, a number of alternative

Efficient MU-MIMO Beamforming Protocol for IEEE 802.11ay WLANs

January 1, 2019
Author(s)
Munsuk Kim, Tanguy Ropitault, SuKyoung Lee, Nada T. Golmie
IEEE 802.11ay supports multi-user multiple-input-multiple-output (MU-MIMO). However, the MU- MIMO BFT (Beamforming Training) is a time-consuming process to find appropriate directional antenna patterns, and inefficient BFT results in a long training time
