The terahertz (THz) band, 0.1-10 THz, has sufficient resources not only to satisfy the 5G requirements of 10 Gbit/s peak data rate but to enable a number of tempting rate-greedy applications. However, the THz band brings novel challenges, never addressed at lower frequencies. Among others, the scattering of THz waves from any object, including walls and furniture, and ultra-wideband highly-directional links lead to fundamentally new propagation and interference structures. In this article, we review the recent progress in THz propagation modeling, antenna and testbed designs, and propose a step-by-step roadmap for wireless THz Ethernet extension for indoor environments. As a side effect, the described concept provides a second life to the currently underutilized Ethernet infrastructure by using it as a universally available backbone. By applying real THz band propagation, reflection, and scattering measurements as well as ray-tracing simulations of a typical office, we analyze two representative scenarios at 300 GHz and 1.25 THz frequencies illustrating that extremely high rates can be achieved with realistic system parameters at room scales.

Performance characterization is a fundamental issue in wireless networks for real time routing, wireless network simulation, and etc. There are four basic wireless operations that are required to be modeled, i.e., unicast, anycast, broadcast, and multicast. As observed in many recent works, the temporal and spatial distribution of packet receptions can have significant impact on wireless performance involving multiple links (anycast/broadcast/multicast). However, existing performance models and simulations overlook these two wireless behaviors, leading to biased performance estimation and simulation results. In this paper, we first explicitly identify the necessary 3-Dimension information for wireless performance modeling, i.e., packet reception rate (PRR), PRR spatial distribution, and temporal distribution. We then propose a comprehensive modeling approach considering 3-Dimension Wireless information (called 3DW model). Further, we demonstrate the generality and wide applications of 3DW model by two case studies: 3DWbased network simulation and 3DW-based real time routing protocol. Extensive simulation and testbed experiments have been conducted. The results show that 3DW model achieves much more accurate performance estimation for both anycast and broadcast/multicast. 3DW-based simulation can effectively reserve the end-to-end performance metric of the input empirical traces. 3DW-based routing can select more efficient senders, achieving better transmission efficiency.
This letter proposes a novel random medium access control (MAC) based on a transmission opportunity prediction, which can be measured in a form of a conditional success probability given transmitter-side interference. A transmission probability depends on the opportunity prediction, preventing indiscriminate transmissions and reducing excessive interference causing collisions. Using stochastic geometry, we derive a fixed-point equation to provide the optimal transmission probability maximizing a proportionally fair throughput. Its approximated solution is given in closed form. The proposed MAC is applicable to full-duplex networks, leading to significant throughput improvement by allowing more nodes to transmit.
In this paper, we propose a new paradigm in designing and realizing energy efficient wireless indoor access networks, namely, a hybrid system enabled by traditional RF access, such as WiFi, as well as the emerging visible light communication (VLC). VLC facilitates the great advantage of being able to jointly perform illumination and communications, and little extra power beyond illumination is required to empower communications, thus rendering wireless access with almost zero power consumption. On the other hand, when illumination is not required from the light source, the energy consumed by VLC could be more than that consumed by the RF. By capitalizing on the above properties, the proposed hybrid RF-VLC system is more energy efficient and more adaptive to the illumination conditions than the individual VLC or RF systems. To demonstrate the viability of the proposed system, we first formulate the problem of minimizing the power consumption of the hybrid RF-VLC system while satisfying the users requests and maintaining acceptable level of illumination, which is NP-complete. Therefore, we divide the problem into two subproblems. In the first subproblems, we determine the set of VLC access points (AP) that needs to be turned on to satisfy the illumination requirements. Given this set, we turn our attention to satisfying the users requests for real-time communications, and we propose a randomized online algorithm that, against an oblivious adversary, achieves a competitive ratio of $log(N)log(M)$ with probability of success $1 - frac{1}{N}$, where $N$ is the number of users and $M$ is the number of VLC and RF APs. We also show that the best online algorithm to solve this problem can achieve a competitive ratio of $log(M)$. Simulation results further demonstrate the advantages of the hybrid system.
Google QUIC accounts for almost 10% of the Internet traffic and the protocol is not standardized at the IETF yet. We distinguish Google QUIC (GQUIC) and IETF QUIC (IQUIC) since there may be differences between the two. Both Google and IE
Precise indoor localization is an increasingly demanding requirement for various emerging applications, like Virtual/Augmented reality and personalized advertising. Current indoor environments are equipped with pluralities of WiFi access points (APs), whose deployment is expected to be massive in the future enabling highly precise localization approaches. Though the conventional model-based localization schemes have achieved sub-meter level accuracy by fusing multiple channel state information (CSI) observations, the corresponding computational overhead is usually significant, especially in the current multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems. In order to address this issue, model-free localization techniques using deep learning frameworks have been lately proposed, where mainly classification methods were applied. In this paper, instead of classification based mechanism, we propose a logistic regression based scheme with the deep learning framework, combined with Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) assisted robust training, which achieves more robust sub-meter level accuracy (0.97m median distance error) in the standard laboratory environment and maintains reasonable online prediction overhead under the single WiFi AP settings.
