Modeling and analysis of multiple access channel capacity based on hybrid energy storage and energy harvesting by Xinwei YAO, Mengna ZHANG, Chaochao WANG, Wanliang WANG

“…Energy harvesting (EH) has been considered as a promising technology to solve the constrained energy problem in the devices of IoT with its advantages of flexible deployment and sustainable energy supply.For multiple access channel with energy harvesting,a hybrid energy storage structure model composed by super capacitor and battery was proposed for the devices of IoT.According to the peculiarities of medium access channel and energy harvesting system,an optimized energy allocation strategy with exponential-type decline (ETD) was presented,the upper and lower bounds of the average throughput were deduced,in particular,the gap of two bounds was derived to be a constant.The channel capacity was further obtained by utilizing the relationship between the average throughput and the channel capacity.In the simulations,the effect of harvested energy,storage capacity and the number of nodes on the channel capacity were analyzed respectively.Experiment results show that compared with the conventional wireless node with single battery storage,the proposed hybrid energy storage structure can improve the harvested energy value and increase the multiple access channel capacity by using adaptive modulation scheme when transmitting the signals.…”

Value-difference learning based mMTC devices access algorithm in multi-cell network by Xin LI, Jun SUN

“…In the massive machine type communication scenario of 5G, the access congestion problem of massive machine type communication devices (mMTCD) in multi-cell network is very important.A double deep Q network with value-difference based exploration (VDBE-DDQN) algorithm was proposed.The algorithm focused on the solution that could reduce the collision when a number of mMTCDs accessed to eNB in multi-cell network.The state transition process of the deep reinforcement learning algorithm was modeled as Markov decision process.Furthermore, the algorithm used a double deep Q network to fit the target state-action value function, and it employed an exploration strategy based on value-difference to adapt the change of the environment, which could take advantage of both current conditions and expected future needs.Moreover, each mMTCD updated the probability of exploration according to the difference between the current value function and the next value function estimated by the network, rather than using the same standard to select the best base eNB for the mMTCD.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the access success rate of the system.…”

Environment-aware based access point deployment optimization for cell-free massive MIMO system by Jing JIANG, Yongqiang LIU, Fengyang YAN, Sha TAO, Sutthiphan WORAKRIN

“…Cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems deploy a large number of access point (AP) across the coverage area which can provide uniform high-rate services to users.However, the quality of coverage would be affected by path loss, shadow fading scatters, and environmental occlusions around the randomly placed AP in conventional cell-free massive MIMO systems that do not consider their impact.Considering the impact of actual wireless propagation environments, an AP deployment scheme was proposed to acquire uniform and consistent coverage.Firstly, a hybrid probabilistic path loss model was utilized to characterize various wireless propagation environments.Then, the AP deployment optimization problem was solved with the objective of maximizing the average throughput.Finally, the problem was transformed into a Markov game process and solved by the multi-agent deep deterministic policy gradient (MADDPG) algorithm.The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can provide more uniform coverage in complex environments and serve users with reliable and consistent service compared to random AP deployment and existing AP deployment methods.…”
