Access Policies

The flourishing of Internet of Things (IoT) applications, characterized by vast transmitter populations and the sporadic transmission of small data units, demands innovative solutions for the sharing of the wireless medium. In this context, satellite connectivity is an important enabler for all scenarios in which terminals are under-served by terrestrial communications and are thus fundamental for providing worldwide coverage. In turn, the design of medium access policies that attain efficient use of the scarce spectrum and can cope with flexible yet unpredictable IoT traffic is of the utmost importance. Starting from these remarks, we investigate in this work the coexistence of a quality of service (QoS)-constrained service with IoT traffic in a shared spectrum as alternative to a more traditional orthogonal allocation among the two services, with an eye on satellite applications. Leaning on analytical tools, we provide achievable rate regions, assuming a slotted ALOHA access method for IoT terminals and accounting for practical aspects, such as the transmission of short packets. Interesting trends emerge, showcasing the benefit of an overlay allocation with respect to segregating the resources for the two services.

Wireless Backhaul

<div>Due to their flexibility and low cost deployment, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) will most likely act as base stations and backhaul relays in the next generation of wireless communication systems. However, these UAVs---in the untethered mode---can only operate for a finite time due to limited energy they carry in their batteries. In free-space optical communications, one solution is to transport both the data and the energy from the source to the UAV through the laser beam---a concept known as <i>simultaneous lightwave information and power transfer</i> (SLIPT). In this study, we have analyzed the SLIPT scheme for laser-powered decode-and-forward UAV relays in an optical wireless backhaul. The major goal of this study is to optimally allocate the received beam energy between the decoding circuit, the transmitting circuit and the rotor block of the relay in order to maximize a quality-of-service metric such as maximum achievable rate, outage or error probabilities. As expected, we note that the optimal power allocation depends heavily on the source-relay and relay-destination channel conditions. In the final part of this study, we have maximized the operational time of the UAV relay given that the maximum achievable rate stays above a certain threshold in order to meet a minimum quality-of-service requirement.</div>
