Random Access for Machine-Type Communication based on Bloom Filtering
Nuno K. Pratas, Cedomir Stefanovic, German Corrales Madueno +1
We present a random access method inspired on Bloom filters that is suited for Machine-Type Communications (MTC). Each accessing device sends a \emph{signature} during the contenti…
Network-Assisted Device-to-Device (D2D) Direct Proximity Discovery with Underlay Communication
Nuno K. Pratas, Petar Popovski
Device-to-Device communications are expected to play an important role in current and future cellular generations, by increasing the spatial reuse of spectrum resources and enablin…
Assessment of LTE Wireless Access for Monitoring of Energy Distribution in the Smart Grid
Germán C. Madueño, Jimmy J. Nielsen, Dong Min Kim +3
While LTE is becoming widely rolled out for human-type services, it is also a promising solution for cost-efficient connectivity of the smart grid monitoring equipment. This is a t…
Effect of LOS/NLOS Propagation on Ultra-Dense Networks
Carlo Galiotto, Nuno K. Pratas, Linda Doyle +1
This paper aims at investigating the achievable performance and the issues that arise in ultra-dense networks (UDNs), when the signal propagation includes both the Line-of-Sight (L…
CoMPflex: CoMP for In-Band Wireless Full Duplex
Henning Thomsen, Petar Popovski, Elisabeth de Carvalho +3
In this letter we consider emulation of a Full Duplex (FD) cellular base station (BS) by using two spatially separated and coordinated half duplex (HD) BSs. The proposed system is…
A Tractable Model of the LTE Access Reservation Procedure for Machine-Type Communications
Jimmy J. Nielsen, Dong Min Kim, Germán C. Madueño +2
A canonical scenario in Machine-Type Communications (MTC) is the one featuring a large number of devices, each of them with sporadic traffic. Hence, the number of served devices in…
Massive M2M Access with Reliability Guarantees in LTE Systems
German Corrales Madueno, Nuno K. Pratas, Cedomir Stefanovic +1
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications are one of the major drivers of the cellular network evolution towards 5G systems. One of the key challenges is on how to provide reliabilit…
What Can Wireless Cellular Technologies Do about the Upcoming Smart Metering Traffic?
Jimmy J. Nielsen, Germán C. Madueño, Nuno K. Pratas +3
The introduction of smart electricity meters with cellular radio interface puts an additional load on the wireless cellular networks. Currently, these meters are designed for low d…
