This paper presents a control solution for the optimal network selection problem in 5G heterogeneous networks. The control logic proposed is based on multi-agent Friend-or-Foe Q-Learning, allowing the design of a distributed control architecture that sees the various access points compete for the allocation of the connection requests. Numerical simulations validate conceptually the approach, developed in the scope of the EU-Korea project 5G-ALLSTAR.

Probabilistic shaping (PS) in Faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) system is proposed. The proposed system is based on probabilistically shaped 16QAM formats and 8QAM formats. The theoretical average mutual information (AMI) analysis of the proposed FTN PS scheme are analyzed and turns out that the proposed FTN PS scheme is superior to the conventional Nyquist regular system. The gains of simulation results are comparable to that obtained from the theoretical analysis. Compared with conventional Nyquist regular system, We can get FTN gains and PS gains for PS in FTN system. When spectral efficiency (SE) is 2.778 bits/s/Hz, the proposed 16QAM FTN PS scheme has 1.20 dB theoretical FTN gain and 0.35 dB theoretical PS gain, where the simulation results in 16QAM show that the FTN gain and PS gain are 0.75 dB and 0.40 dB, respectively. When SE is 2.083 bits/s/Hz, the proposed 8QAM FTN scheme has 1.55 dB theoretical FTN gain and 0.30 dB theoretical PS gain, where the simulation results in 8QAM show that the FTN gain and PS gain are 0.95 dB and 0.55 dB, respectively. The theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed PS in FTN system is an efficient scheme for improving system performance, and thus suitable for the sixth generation (6G) communication system.

In this paper, we deal with time-varing quasi-cyclic (QC) spatially-coupled (SC) low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes by lifting the coupled protographs. The construction method of girth-6 protographs for any code rate is proposed. We provide a theoretical lower bound on the syndrome former constraint length under condition of the protographs without 4-cycles in their Tanner graphs. Then we use periodic QC lifting method to search the QC-SC-LDPC matrices with larger girth based on the protographs. The minimum dimension size of QC-SC-LDPC codes is given to count the girth of QC-SC-LDPC codes with a semi-infinite binary-check matrix structure. The performance of such constructed codes with lower complexity and delay is superior to the LDPC block codes.

Two-Stage Hybrid Beamforming Design for MmWave Multi-User Massive MIMO Systems

Ran Zhang and Weixia Zou (BUPT, China); Ye Wang and Ming Yang Cui (Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, China)

Hybrid beamforming (HBF) with massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is a promising technology for reaching a compromise between hardware complexity and system performance in 5G millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications systems. In this paper, we investigate the hybrid beamforming design in the downlink multi-user massive MIMO systems. According to information theory, we divide the communication procedure with hybrid beamforming into two different stages. In the analog stage, we propose an alternating optimization scheme to design the analog precoder and combiner, thereby maximizing the capacity of the equivalent baseband channel. Then, in the digital stage, we exploit the baseband block diagonalization method for the design of digital beamformer to eliminate inter-user interference. Finally, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can achieve a higher sum-rate than some existing multi-user HBF schemes, while the convergence of the proposed algorithm is relatively fast.

This paper reports the first results of the 5G-ALLSTAR project [1] aiming at providing solutions and enablers for spectrum sharing in a 5G cellular and satellite multi-connectivity context. First, we present an exhaustive study of the frequency bands eligible for these systems in the short and medium term. A ray-tracing based and a geometry-based stochastic channel models developed in the project are then described. These models can be used to simulate systems involving terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks. We then describe three different ways investigated in the project for managing interference: signal processing (hardware implementation of a 5G New Radio compatible physical layer), beamforming (steering and switching beams in order to avoid the interference while preserving the spectral efficiency) and radio resource management (tool designed for joint optimization of satellite and terrestrial resource sharing).

mmWave Massive Analog Relay MIMO for Improvement of Channel Capacity

Recently, due to the increase in mobile traffic, further demand for channel capacity is expected. By using the millimeter-wave band, large-capacity communication can be realized by using a wider band than 4G/LTE. In addition, the antenna miniaturization makes it possible to install multi-element antennas on moving objects such as cars and buses. In the near future, automated driving will bring about new services such as viewing 4K 8K videos and satellite office. In order to deal with such use cases, it is necessary to realize large-capacity communication by massive MIMO transmission from a base station to a single user. However, there is a problem that the channel capacity is not expected to be improved by single-user massive MIMO using millimeter waves due to the large path loss in the millimeter wave band and high channel correlation. In this paper, we propose the mmWave Massive Analog Relay MIMO system that uses a large number of analog relay stations (RSs) to generate artificial propagation paths. Compared with the conventional method from the viewpoint of channel capacity and number of streams by changing the arrangement of these relay nodes. The effectiveness of the proposed method is reported by numerical simulation.

The fifth generation, 5G, mobile communications technologies are expected to transform the future wireless communications services and networks' business models and respective ecosystems. The paper discusses the extended ecosystemic platform architecture for 5G evolution consisting of components, interfaces, data and algorithms and investigates how this business framework can enable the transformation of the 5G. With roots in economics and engineering, this study looks 5G architecture through the lenses of platform-based ecosystemic business model framework utilizing themes of innovation, openness, complementarity, competition and cooperation, organization and governance, economies of scale and scope, and supply-side, demand-side, two-sided or multi-sided business models. Based on the timely review of the state-of-the-art studies on the topic in the recent literature and the results of the future-oriented workshop held in 6G Summit 2019, study showed that the transformation from current network-for-connectivity business models towards network-of-services model builds on platform with data and algorithms.
