Abstract

In this paper, we consider channel coding scheme for single carrier Internet of Things (SC-IoT). We propose new Raptor codes for SC-IoT devices with new degree distributions suitable for single carrier transmission to provide long term battery life services. In the proposed Raptor codes, Low Density Generator Matrix (LDGM) codes are used as the precode, called LDGM-Raptor codes. The codes are optimally designed using extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) chart in order to meet the requirement of SC-IoT providing low bit-error rate (BER). We found that although LDGM-Raptor codes is simple, the performances of codes are good enough with turbo-cliff closes to the Shannon capacity limit of channels.

Abstract

Efficient channel coding techniques for wireless communications become important solutions to meet the 5G requirements, especially on the aspect of high reliability and low latency communications in the Internet of Things (IoT) era. This paper proposes new degree distributions of Raptor Codes for devices supporting IoT communications with Low Density Generator Matrix (LDGM) codes as the precode, called LDGMRaptor codes. The proposed LDGM-Raptor codes is applied for broadband IoT (BB-IoT) to support high data rate in IoT networks with high reliability while keeping low computational complexity. The degree distribution in LDGM-Raptor codes is designed by using Extrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) charts in Binary Erasure Channel (BEC)-based equivalent Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and multipath fading channels. EXIT charts are also used to estimate Bit-Error Rate (BER) performances of the proposed codes. The results confirm that the performance with new degree distributions of LDGM-Raptor close to the Shannon limit, which is required to make BB-IoT reliable and efficient.

Abstract

In this paper, we propose new Raptor codes suitable for uplink Internet of Things using single carrier transmission technique (SC-IoT) with low density parity check (LDPC) codes as the precode, called LDPC-Raptor codes. The utilization of LDPC as the precode is to guarantee high capability of error correction for better Raptor codes performance while keeping the computational complexity low. Raptor Codes are preferable for SC-IoT because of their flexibility with both fixed/non-fixed rate (rateless) and simplicity in decoding. The LDPC-Raptor codes is designed (sub)-optimally using Extrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) chart to meet requirements of SC-IoT. We evaluate the performance of the proposed LDPC-Raptor codes to achieve the Shannon capacity over Binary Erasure Channels (BEC)-based equivalent additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and frequency flat Rayleigh fading and show that LDPC-Raptor codes provide significant contributions than Luby Transform (LT) codes for SC-IoT.

Abstract

In this paper, we propose the usage of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) as a flying mobile base tower station for discovering Device-to-Device (D2D) devices in the disaster area. In a disaster area, energy consumption of both devices and network become an important constraint. Therefore, there is a need to establish wireless network communication in large area rapidly under the condition of infrastructure failure. The previous works does not calculate the energy consumption of the UAV and consider the use cases of UAV flight path for specific disaster condition, e.g. flood, earthquake, etc. The objective of this paper is to provide UAV flying paths that can adapt according to disaster condition which satisfy the UAV energy constraint. We enhance four schemes for the UAV flying paths: O-path, Rectangular path, ZigZag-path, and S-path. This enhancement reduces the flight path gap area and lead the increasing of covered area. To examine the best UAV flight path for certain disaster cases, several simulations were performed and discussed. The results show that for distributed damage pattern, the optimum UAV flying pattern is an S – path because of its large coverage area (covering around 80 percent of total devices in altitude 100 m). Otherwise, for centralized damage pattern, the optimum UAV flying patterns are O, Rectangular, and Zigzag path because of its short flight duration and less energy consumption (eight times smaller than the S – path in altitude 100 m).

Abstract

Millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) at 60 GHz is a candidate of advanced wireless communications for indoor environment. MmWave massive MIMO antenna with lower frequency with sectoring technique has been proposed in previous research. Also dual polarized configuration for MIMO in lower frequency and lower number of antenna. Massive MIMO at 60 GHz mm-Wave is not evaluated yet in these previous research. In this paper, dual polarized mm-Wave massive MIMO has been proposed. Antennas are modeled in circular disk proximity coupled planar array. Bandwidth of dual polarized configuration is 4.349 GHz, wider than 4.303 GHz in single polarized configuration. Envelope Correlation Coefficient (ECC) of dual polarized configuration is 25 times lower compared to single polarized configuration. Dual polarized configuration shows better performance both in bandwidth and ECC compared to single polarized configuration.

Abstract

Developing countries such as Indonesia are faced with the paradox of lagging health indicators and uneven distribution of healthcare resources amidst impressive rise in mobile communications coverage. This opens up the opportunity for mHealth- the application of mobile technology for healthcare – to contribute in improving healthcare by helping alleviate the uneven distribution of resources as well as facilitating more efficient healthcare education and delivery. However, while there are many successful examples of mHealth for community health, many mHealth projects are still plagued by sustainability and scalability issues. This paper describes the development of Sahabat Bundaku (My Mother’s Best Friend), a mobile and web application that connects parents and midwives throughout the process of pregnancy and the growth of children from the womb until the child is five years old. The app provides a vehicle for the dissemination of relevant healthcare related information and education, early detection of potential problems, patient management system including reminder for important events, as well as data integration between healthcare providers and mothers. Importantly, the application is designed with extensive involvement of potential stakeholders and users to plan for both operational and financial sustainability, as well as within country dissemination.

Abstract

Clustering and cooperative clustering method in D2D communication, a promising technology for 4G and 5G communication, will decrease energy consumption in mobile communication. The novelty of this work is we analyzed the impact of variation in number of mobile terminals in one cell, data transfer rate, and number of cluster members in one cluster for energy consumption. Clustering and cooperative clustering method, which are two sophisticated methods for D2D communication, are expected to make D2D communication more efficient in energy consumption. Energy efficiency of devices was examined through several simulations. The first simulation, we studied the impact of different number of mobile terminals per cell for energy efficiency. The result shows that cells with a greater number of mobile terminals has higher mobile consumption. Furthermore, compared with other cells, a cell with cooperative clustering method has less energy consumption. Secondly, we also examined the impact of different data transfer rate for devices energy consumption. The result shows that energy consumption rate is decreasing exponentially along with the increment of data transfer rate. Finally, we investigated the impact of different number of cluster members per cluster. The result informs that in the scenario with clustering method, the variation in the number of MT per cluster relatively did not affect energy consumption. However, in the scenario with cooperative clustering method, each one increment of number of mobile terminals per cluster increase energy consumption approximately by 25%.

Abstract

In this paper, the authors propose a novel Cluster Head Rotation method to spare the cluster head burden in energy consumption. The clustering method, which is a state-of-the-art approach in D2D communication, is expected to reduce the devices’ energy consumption. However, this method may induce significant energy burden for cluster head, which can bring significant disproportion in cluster head and cluster member energy consumption ratio. The authors performed several simulations to prove the eminence of Cluster Head Rotation. According to our simulation, Cluster Head Rotation achieve a better balance in energy consumption (1.25:1 for CH:CM) compared to standard clustering method (3:1 for CH:CM). Furthermore, the overall energy consumption of Cluster Head Rotation is also 75% lower than standard clustering method.
