Indoor terminal localization technology using a single access point based on distributed MIMO networks by Ze LI, Jian ZOU, Zeng HUANG, Zengshan TIAN

“…Regarding the terminal localization in distributed MIMO networks, an indoor terminal localization system using a single access point (AP) based on distributed MIMO networks was proposed.Firstly, the AP’s antennas were arranged at different locations in the room, and the compressed sensing algorithm was used to estimate the angle of departure (AoD) and time of flight (ToF) of the receiving path on each antenna of the terminal device.Secondly, AoDs and ToFs of multiple paths were combined to establish a nonlinear localization model, and an improved Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm was used to solve the problem.Then, theoretical analysis has been examined for the factors that influence the localization error, and the criteria for the antenna layout was provided.Finally, electromagnetic simulation software was used to build simulation environment and conducted the simulation for system verification.Moreover, software-defined radio platforms were used to conduct practical tests.Both simulation and experimental results indicate that the performance of the proposed localization system is superior to existing single-AP localization systems based on natural multipath.…”

Communication framework for directed transmission of informative semantic by Guangming SHI, Minxi YANG, Dahua GAO, Jingxuan CHAI

“…As the traditional communication development model focusing on enhancing bandwidth and spectrum efficiency is getting bottlenecked, more and more research is shifting the goal of intelligent communication from the syntactic level to the semantic level to save bandwidth resources by sensing and transmitting semantics rather than the complete signal.For the receiver agent, it is enough to receive only the information part of the understandable semantics.If the informative parts from the semantics can be filtered for transmission, it will further reduce the bandwidth resources and the time and power consumption of semantic information processing at the sender-side.To this end, firstly, the process of semantic information processing and comprehension of an intelligent body was explored.Secondly, the semantics perceived by the receiver from the message were classified into redundant semantics, unintelligible semantics, and informative semantic.Then, a communication paradigm oriented to transmitting the informative part of the semantics, called informative communication, was proposed, and the communication paradigm was extended to include four layers: syntax, semantic, informative, and pragmatic.Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of informative communication were verified through simulation.This provides new ideas and technical traction for the development of next-generation communication models.…”
