Wireless technologies can support a broad range of smart grid applications including advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and demand response (DR). However, there are many formidable challenges when wireless technologies are applied to the smart gird, e.g., the tradeoffs between wireless coverage and capacity, the high reliability requirement for communication, and limited spectral resources. Relaying has emerged as one of the most promising candidate solutions for addressing these issues. In this article, an introduction to various relaying strategies is presented, together with a discussion of how to improve spectral efficiency and coverage in relay-based information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure for smart grid applications. Special attention is paid to the use of unidirectional relaying, collaborative beamforming, and bidirectional relaying strategies.

The astounding capacity requirements of 5G have motivated researchers to investigate the feasibility of many potential technologies, such as massive multiple-input multiple-output, millimeter wave, full-duplex, non-orthogonal multiple access, carrier
aggregation, cognitive radio, and network ultra-densification. The benefits and challenges of these technologies have been thoroughly studied either individually or in a combination of two or three. It is not clear, however, whether all potential technologies operating together lead to fulfilling the requirements posed by 5G. This paper explores the potential benefits and challenges when all technologies coexist in an ultra-dense cellular environment. The sum rate of the network is investigated with respect to the increase in the number of small-cells and results show the capacity gains achieved by the coexistence.
In this paper, we consider an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) enabled relaying system where multiple UAVs are deployed as aerial relays to support simultaneous communications from a set of source nodes to their destination nodes on the ground. An optim
ization problem is formulated under practical channel models to maximize the minimum achievable expected rate among all pairs of ground nodes by jointly designing UAVs three-dimensional (3D) placement as well as the bandwidth-and-power allocation. This problem, however, is non-convex and thus difficult to solve. As such, we propose a new method, called iterative Gibbs-sampling and block-coordinate-descent (IGS-BCD), to efficiently obtain a high-quality suboptimal solution by synergizing the advantages of both the deterministic (BCD) and stochastic (GS) optimization methods. Specifically, our proposed method alternates between two optimization phases until convergence is reached, namely, one phase that uses the BCD method to find locally-optimal UAVs 3D placement and the other phase that leverages the GS method to generate new UAVs 3D placement for exploration. Moreover, we present an efficient method for properly initializing UAVs placement that leads to faster convergence of the proposed IGS-BCD algorithm. Numerical results show that the proposed IGS-BCD and initialization methods outperform the conventional BCD or GS method alone in terms of convergence-and-performance trade-off, as well as other benchmark schemes.
Terahertz (THz) communications with a frequency band 0.1-10 THz are envisioned as a promising solution to the future high-speed wireless communication. Although with tens of gigahertz available bandwidth, THz signals suffer from severe free-spreading
loss and molecular-absorption loss, which limit the wireless transmission distance. To compensate the propagation loss, the ultra-massive multiple-input-multiple-output (UM-MIMO) can be applied to generate a high-gain directional beam by beamforming technologies. In this paper, a tutorial on the beamforming technologies for THz UM-MIMO systems is provided. Specifically, we first present the system model of THz UM-MIMO and identify its channel parameters and architecture types. Then, we illustrate the basic principles of beamforming via UM-MIMO and introduce the schemes of beam training and beamspace MIMO for THz communications. Moreover, the spatial-wideband effect and frequency-wideband effect in the THz beamforming are discussed. The joint beamforming technologies in the intelligent-reflecting-surface (IRS)-assisted THz UM-MIMO systems are introduced. Further, we present the corresponding fabrication techniques and illuminate the emerging applications benefiting from THz beamforming. Open challenges and future research directions on THz UM-MIMO systems are finally highlighted.
In millimeter-wave (mmWave) channels, to overcome the high path loss, beamforming is required. Hence, the spatial representation of the channel is essential. Further, for accurate beam alignment and minimizing the outages, inter-beam interferences, e
tc., cluster-level spatial modeling is also necessary. Since, statistical channel models fail to reproduce the intra-cluster parameters due to the site-specific nature of the mmWave channel, in this paper, we propose a ray tracing intra-cluster model (RT-ICM) for mmWave channels. The model considers only the first-order reflection; thereby reducing the computation load while capturing most of the energy in a large number of important cases. The model accounts for diffuse scattering as it contributes significantly to the received power. Finally, since the clusters are spatially well-separated due to the sparsity of first-order reflectors, we generalize the intra-cluster model to the mmWave channel model via replication. Since narrow beamwidth increases the number of single-order clusters, we show that the proposed model suits well to MIMO and massive MIMO applications. We illustrate that the model gives matching results with published measurements made in a classroom at 60 GHz. For this specific implementation, while the maximum cluster angle of arrival (AoA) error is 1 degree, mean angle spread error is 9 degrees. The RMS error for the cluster peak power is found to be 2.2 dB.
