There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.

Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

With much advancement in the field of nanotechnology, bioengineering, and synthetic biology over the past decade, microscales and nanoscales devices are becoming a reality. Yet the problem of engineering a reliable communication system between tiny devices is still an open problem. At the same time, despite the prevalence of radio communication, there are still areas where traditional electromagnetic waves find it difficult or expensive to reach. Points of interest in industry, cities, and medical applications often lie in embedded and entrenched areas, accessible only by ventricles at scales too small for conventional radio waves and microwaves, or they are located in such a way that directional high frequency systems are ineffective. Inspired by nature, one solution to these problems is molecular communication (MC), where chemical signals are used to transfer information. Although biologists have studied MC for decades, it has only been researched for roughly 10 year from a communication engineering lens. Significant number of papers have been published to date, but owing to the need for interdisciplinary work, much of the results are preliminary. In this survey, the recent advancements in the field of MC engineering are highlighted. First, the biological, chemical, and physical processes used by an MC system are discussed. This includes different components of the MC transmitter and receiver, as well as the propagation and transport mechanisms. Then, a comprehensive survey of some of the recent works on MC through a communication engineering lens is provided. The survey ends with a technology readiness analysis of MC and future research directions.

A Comprehensive Survey of Recent Advancements in Molecular Communication

Location sharing and tracking using mobile phones or other wireless devices

This communication presents the results of the first field measurement campaign to characterize the large- and small-scale propagation statistics of the peer-to-peer wireless link in an operating petroleum refinery. Results for ground level transmission and transmission between ground level and devices mounted 18 m from the ground on a distillation stack are included. The measurements characterize the 20-MHz $2 \times 1$ multiple-input, single-output channel at 2.45 GHz. Analysis of the measurement data reveals an environment with severe small-scale fading and multipath dispersion but very mild large-scale signal attenuation given the level of obstruction on the links.

This paper uses logfile data from commercial code division multiple access networks to quantify the base station power amplifier (PA) size reduction achieved with sector transmit power pooling. Sector transmit power pooling in a base station involves sharing the transmit power load of several sectors across the same bank of amplifiers. This transmit power trunking results in a reduction in required PA size. The logfile analysis used to estimate this reduction is augmented with simulated short-term power variations. A new constrained Poisson call arrival model is used to ensure that the simulated power variations accurately reflect actual network operating conditions. A Gamma random variable approximation is also used to improve simulation efficiency. The results of this analysis indicate that sector power pooling can significantly reduce required PA size for realistic network operating conditions

Sector Transmit Power Pooling on Real CDMA Networks

This paper investigates how to improve channel decoder trellis path metric calculations when convolutional or turbo codes are combined with the chip-level linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) code division multiple access (CDMA) mobile receiver. These metric calculations require channel state information (CSI) that consists of desired signal amplitude and interference plus noise variance. Several techniques suitable for use with the chip-level LMMSE receiver are presented for estimating CSI. Chip-level simulations are used to evaluate CDMA forward link performance when these techniques are used by the mobile. The results indicate that the channel state estimation scheme that provides the best forward link performance depends on the type of channel code and channel decoder algorithm used in the system.

Improved channel decoding for the CDMA forward link chip-level LMMSE receiver

MIMO channel analysis typically includes capacity; a more diverse channel will result in increased channel capacity. Many statistical measures for wireless channels exist but throughput performance ultimately is determined through the orthogonality of the subchannels comprising the MIMO channel. The capacity of MIMO channels is considered in conjunction with the angles between the complex channel impulse response vectors. The angle between complex Euclidean vectors is derived. For simulated complex baseband Rayleigh fading channel impulse responses, a short finite-length response with a constant power delay profile is similar in angle distribution to a longer response with an exponential profile, whose amplitude time constant is the same as the length of the former. The exponential profile limitations on the sub-channel vectors is shown to extend to capacity. The relationship of the variance of the complex sub-channel vector angles to the variance of the channel capacity is shown.

MIMO Channel Diversity Analysis Using Angles Between Complex Baseband Channel Impulse Responses

This paper presents a Gaussian approximation for intracell interference on the forward link of a code division multiple access system with fast power control. A probability density function (PDF) is derived for the transmit power variations of each user due to power control adjustments. The PDF is then used to determine the variance of a Gaussian random variable that approximates intracell interference. Simulation demonstrates that this approximation is very accurate even for small spreading factors and low traffic loading levels. The accuracy of the approximation is evaluated for convolutional and turbo coding. The effect of finite power control step sizes and update rates is also investigated.
