TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present key drivers, research requirements, challenges and essential research questions related to 6G, focusing on societal and business drivers; use cases and new device forms; spectrum and key performance indicator targets; radio hardware progress and challenges; physical layer; networking; and new service enablers.
Abstract: As fifth generation (5G) research is maturing towards a global standard, the research community has started to focus on the development of beyond-5G solutions and the 2030 era, i.e. 6G. In the future, our society will be increasingly digitised, hyper-connected and globally data driven. Many widely anticipated future services will be critically dependent on instant, virtually unlimited wireless connectivity. Mobile communication technologies are expected to progress far beyond anything seen so far in wireless-enabled applications, making everyday lives smoother and safer while dramatically improving the efficiency of businesses. 6G is not only about moving data around — it will become a framework of services, including communication services where all user-specific computation and intelligence may move to the edge cloud. The white paper presents key drivers, research requirements, challenges and essential research questions related to 6G. The focus is on societal and business drivers; use cases and new device forms; spectrum and key performance indicator targets; radio hardware progress and challenges; physical layer; networking; and new service enablers. Societal megatrends, United Nations’ sustainability goals, lowering carbon dioxide emissions, emerging new technical enablers as well as ever increasing productivity demands are introduced as critical drivers towards 2030 solutions. This white paper is the first in a series of 6G Research Visions based on the views that 70 invited experts shared during a special workshop at the first 6G Wireless Summit in Finnish Lapland in March 2019.

TL;DR: The level of interference caused by different ultra-wideband (UWB) signals to other various radio systems, as well as the performance degradation of UWB systems in the presence of narrowband interference and pulsed jamming are evaluated.
Abstract: This paper evaluates the level of interference caused by different ultra-wideband (UWB) signals to other various radio systems, as well as the performance degradation of UWB systems in the presence of narrowband interference and pulsed jamming. The in-band interference caused by a selection of UWB signals is calculated at GSM900, UMTS/wideband code-division multiple-access (WCDMA), and Global Position System (GPS) frequency bands as a function of the UWB pulsewidth. Several short-pulse waveforms, based on the Gaussian pulse, can be used to generate UWB transmission. The two UWB system concepts studied here are time hopping and direct sequence spread spectrum. Baseband binary pulse amplitude modulation is used as the data modulation scheme. Proper selection of pulse waveform and pulsewidth allows one to avoid some rejected frequency bands up to a certain limit. However, the pulse shape is also intertwined with the data rate demands. If short-pulses are used in UWB communication the high-pass filtered waveforms are preferred according to the results. The use of long pulses, however, favors the generic Gaussian waveform instead. An UWB system suffers most from narrowband systems if the narrowband interference and the nominal center frequency of the UWB signal overlap. This is proved by bit-error rate simulations in an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel with interference at global system for mobile communication (GSM) and UMTS/WCDMA frequencies.

TL;DR: Numerical results demonstrate that, compared to a half duplex system, the FD system of interest with the proposed designs achieves a better SE and a slightly smaller EE when the SI is small.
Abstract: We consider data transmissions in a full duplex (FD) multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) system, where a base station (BS) bidirectionally communicates with multiple users in the downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) channels on the same system resources. The system model of consideration has been thought to be impractical due to the self-interference (SI) between transmit and receive antennas at the BS. Interestingly, recent advanced techniques in hardware design have demonstrated that the SI can be suppressed to a degree that possibly allows for FD transmission. This paper goes one step further in exploring the potential gains in terms of the spectral efficiency (SE) and energy efficiency (EE) that can be brought by the FD MU-MIMO model. Toward this end, we propose low-complexity designs for maximizing the SE and EE, and evaluate their performance numerically. For the SE maximization problem, we present an iterative design that obtains a locally optimal solution based on a sequential convex approximation method. In this way, the nonconvex precoder design problem is approximated by a convex program at each iteration. Then, we propose a numerical algorithm to solve the resulting convex program based on the alternating and dual decomposition approaches, where analytical expressions for precoders are derived. For the EE maximization problem, using the same method, we first transform it into a concave-convex fractional program, which then can be reformulated as a convex program using the parametric approach. We will show that the resulting problem can be solved similarly to the SE maximization problem. Numerical results demonstrate that, compared to a half duplex system, the FD system of interest with the proposed designs achieves a better SE and a slightly smaller EE when the SI is small.

TL;DR: Two provably convergent algorithms are proposed to obtain suboptimal solutions of the spectral efficiency of full-duplex small cell wireless systems by approximate the design problem by a determinant maximization program in each iteration of the first algorithm.
Abstract: We investigate the spectral efficiency of full-duplex small cell wireless systems, in which a full-duplex capable base station (BS) is designed to send/receive data to/from multiple half-duplex users on the same system resources. The major hurdle for designing such systems is due to the self-interference at the BS and co-channel interference among users. Hence, we consider a joint beamformer design to maximize the spectral efficiency subject to certain power constraints. The design problem is first formulated as a rank-constrained optimization problem, and the rank relaxation method is then applied. However, the relaxed problem is still nonconvex, and thus, optimal solutions are hard to find. Herein, we propose two provably convergent algorithms to obtain suboptimal solutions. Based on the concept of the Frank-Wolfe algorithm, we approximate the design problem by a determinant maximization program in each iteration of the first algorithm. The second method is built upon the sequential parametric convex approximation method, which allows us to transform the relaxed problem into a semidefinite program in each iteration. Extensive numerical experiments under small cell setups illustrate that the full-duplex system with the proposed algorithms can achieve a large gain over the half-duplex system.

TL;DR: Comprehensive performance comparisons including accuracy, precision, complexity, scalability, robustness, and cost are presented.
Abstract: Wireless indoor positioning systems have become very popular in recent years. These systems have been successfully used in many applications such as asset tracking and inventory management. This paper provides an overview of the existing wireless indoor positioning solutions and attempts to classify different techniques and systems. Three typical location estimation schemes of triangulation, scene analysis, and proximity are analyzed. We also discuss location fingerprinting in detail since it is used in most current system or solutions. We then examine a set of properties by which location systems are evaluated, and apply this evaluation method to survey a number of existing systems. Comprehensive performance comparisons including accuracy, precision, complexity, scalability, robustness, and cost are presented.

TL;DR: It is shown that the full set of hydromagnetic equations admit five more integrals, besides the energy integral, if dissipative processes are absent, which made it possible to formulate a variational principle for the force-free magnetic fields.
Abstract: where A represents the magnetic vector potential, is an integral of the hydromagnetic equations. This -integral made it possible to formulate a variational principle for the force-free magnetic fields. The integral expresses the fact that motions cannot transform a given field in an entirely arbitrary different field, if the conductivity of the medium isconsidered infinite. In this paper we shall show that the full set of hydromagnetic equations admit five more integrals, besides the energy integral, if dissipative processes are absent. These integrals, as we shall presently verify, are I2 =fbHvdV, (2)
