Vehicular ad hoc networks have emerged as a promising field of research and development, since they will be able to accommodate a variety of applications, ranging from infotainment to traffic management and road safety. A specific security-related concern that vehicular ad hoc networks face is how to keep communication alive in the presence of radio frequency jamming, especially during emergency situations. Multiple Input Multiple Output techniques are proven to be able to improve some crucial parameters of vehicular communications such as communication range and throughput. In this article, we investigate how Multiple Input Multiple Output techniques can be used in vehicular ad hoc networks as active defense mechanisms in order to avoid jamming threats. For this reason, a variation of spatial multiplexing is proposed, namely, vSP4, which achieves not only high throughput but also a stable diversity gain upon the interference of a malicious jammer.

AbstractIn this paper we consider opportunistic routing in multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) random wireless ad-hoc networks (WANETs). Our analysis uses a proper model of the physical layer together with an abstraction of the higher communication layers. We assume that the nodes are distributed according to a Poisson point process and consider a routing scheme that opportunistically selects the next relay and the number of spatially multiplexed data streams. The routing decisions are based on geographic locations, the channel gains of the neighbor nodes, and the statistical characterization of all other nodes. Unlike the single antenna case, the optimal routing scheme cannot be explicitly expressed. Hence, we propose a smart-routing scheme for MIMO that adapts the number of data streams per user to the channel conditions. The numerical results demonstrate that this scheme outperforms all previously published schemes for this scenario. The findings highlight the importance of channel state information for efficient routing, and the need for an adaptive selection of the number of data streams at each transmitter.

The goal of the study presented in this paper is to investigate the performance of a new subcarrier allocation strategy for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) multicellular networks which employ Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) architecture. For this reason, a hybrid system-link level simulator has been developed executing independent Monte Carlo (MC) simulations in parallel. Up to two tiers of cells around the central cell are taken into consideration and increased loading per cell. The derived results indicate that this strategy can provide up to 12% capacity gain for 16-QAM modulation and two tiers of cells around the central cell in a symmetric2×2MIMO configuration. This gain is derived when comparing the proposed strategy to the traditional approach of allocating subcarriers that maximize only the desired user’s signal.

Offset quadrature amplitude modulation-based filter bank multicarrier (FBMC/OQAM) is among the promising waveforms for future wireless communication systems. This is due to its flexible spectrum usage and high spectral efficiency compared with the conventional multicarrier schemes. However, with OQAM modulation, the FBMC/OQAM signals are not orthogonal in the imaginary field. This causes a significant intrinsic interference, which is an obstacle to apply multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technology with FBMC/OQAM. In this paper, we propose a deep neural network (DNN)-based approach to deal with the imaginary interference, and enable the application of MIMO technique with FBMC/OQAM. We show, by simulations, that the proposed approach provides good performance in terms of bit error rate (BER).

Inherent interfering signals generated by the underlying elements found in power substations have been known to span over consecutive noise samples, resulting in bursty interfering noise samples. In the impulsive noise environments, we elaborate a space-sensitive technique using multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), which is particularly well suited in these usually very difficult situations. We assume the availability of channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter to achieve typical MIMO system gains in ad hoc mode. In this paper, we show that more than 10 dB gains are obtained with the most efficient system that we propose for achieving smart grid application requirements. On the one hand, the results obviously illustrate that the max-dmin precoder associated with the rank metric coding scheme is especially adapted to minimize the bit error rate (BER) when a maximum likelihood (ML) receiver is employed. On the other hand, it is shown that a novel node selection technique can reduce the required nodes transmission energies.
