Antennas in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are characterized by the enhanced capacity of the network, longer range of transmission, better spatial reuse, and lower interference. In this paper, we propose a planar patch antenna for mobile communication applications operating at 1.8, 3.5, and 5.4 GHz. A planar microstrip patch antenna (MPA) consists of two F-shaped resonators that enable operations at 1.8 and 3.5 GHz while operation at 5.4 GHz is achieved when the patch is truncated from the middle. The proposed planar patch is printed on a low-cost FR-4 substrate that is 1.6 mm in thickness. The equivalent circuit model is also designed to validate the reflection coefficient of the proposed antenna with the S11 obtained from the circuit model. It contains three RLC (resistor–inductor–capacitor) circuits for generating three frequency bands for the proposed antenna. Thereby, we obtained a good agreement between simulation and measurement results. The proposed antenna has an elliptically shaped radiation pattern at 1.8 and 3.5 GHz, while the broadside directional pattern is obtained at the 5.4 GHz frequency band. At 1.8, 3.5, and 5.4 GHz, the simulated peak realized gains of 2.34, 5.2, and 1.42 dB are obtained and compared to the experimental peak realized gains of 2.22, 5.18, and 1.38 dB at same frequencies. The results indicate that the proposed planar patch antenna can be utilized for mobile applications such as digital communication systems (DCS), worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX), and wireless local area networks (WLAN).

With the density of wireless networks increasing rapidly, one of the major goals in next-generation wireless LANs (Local Area Networks) is to support a very dense network with a large number of closely deployed APs (Access Points) and crowded users. However, the CSMA (Carrier-Sense Multiple Access)-based medium access control of current wireless network systems suffers from significantly degraded performance when the network becomes dense. Recent WLAN (Wireless Local Area Networks) standards include measures for increasing spatial reuse such as BSS (Basic Service Set) coloring, but the schemes based on BSS coloring such as OBSS/PD (Overlapping BSS/Preamble Detection) have limitations in improving spatial reuse. In this paper, we propose a spatial reuse method for uplink which can utilize BSS color and proximity information to improve the efficiency of carrier sensing and thus spatial reuse. Specifically, through the BSS color and the proximity information, a node receiving a preamble can figure out how far the receiver of the ongoing traffic is located. This information is used to determine whether the node should aggressively start transmitting or defer its transmission to protect the ongoing transmission. Simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms existing methods in terms of throughput and fairness.

India Meteorological Department (IMD) has started block-level level agromet advisory (AA) service from the year 2015 and is currently operating in a few blocks of each state across India. In a block-level AA service, on every Tuesday and Friday, AA is being prepared for each block based on the block-level Medium Range weather Forecast (MRF). In this paper, we propose a framework to improve the preparation of blocklevel AA by modeling a weather situation as “Category-based Weather Condition (CWC)” and exploiting both “temporal reuse” and “spatial reuse” of AA based on the similarity among CWCs. The weather data analysis for 12 blocks of Telangana by considering the phenophase-specific CWCs of Rice crop showed that there is a scope to improve the efficiency of block-level AA bulletin preparation process by exploiting reuse.

In this paper, we first give an overview of the coexistence of cellular with IEEE 802.11 technologies in the unlicensed bands. We then present a coexistence mechanism for Fifth-Generation (5G) New Radio on Unlicensed (NR-U) small cells located within buildings to coexist with the IEEE 802.11ad/ay, also termed as Wireless Gigabit (WiGig). Small cells are dual-band enabled operating in the 60 GHz unlicensed and 28 GHz licensed millimeter-wave (mmW) bands. We develop an interference avoidance scheme in the time domain to avoid cochannel interference (CCI) between in-building NR-U small cells and WiGig access points (APs). We then derive average capacity, spectral efficiency (SE), and energy efficiency (EE) performance metrics of in-building small cells. Extensive system-level numerical and simulation results and analyses are carried out for a number of variants of NR-U, including NR standalone, NR-U standalone, and NR-U anchored. We also analyze the impact of the spatial reuse of both mmW spectra of multiple NR-U anchored operators with a WiGig operator. It is shown that NR-U anchored provides the best average capacity and EE performances, whereas NR-U standalone provides the best SE performance. Moreover, both vertical spatial reuse intrabuilding level and horizontal spatial reuse interbuilding level of mmW spectra in small cells of an NR-U anchored can improve its SE and EE performances. Finally, we show that by choosing appropriate values of vertical and horizontal spatial reuse factors, the proposed coexistence mechanism can achieve the expected SE and EE requirements for the future Sixth-Generation (6G) mobile networks.

Spatial reuse is an approach to better utilize the wireless medium in dense networks. In contrast to time multiplexed channel access, the idea is to allow a certain level of interference between parallel transmitting links. Depending on transmit power and rate settings, such parallel transmissions may result in increased overall system performance. This paper presents a systematic approach to model dense networks and optimize transmit power and rate settings for best total system performance. It discusses driving factors and limitations for spatial reuse. The paper introduces two algorithms for concurrent optimal transmit power and rate selection. System simulations using a fading channel model compare the performance of the algorithms against CSMA/CA. The simulation results show that average system performance can be increased by 100% and more.

Achieving low load-to-use latency with low energy and storage overheads is critical for performance. Existing techniques either prefetch into the pipeline (via address prediction and validation) or provide data reuse in the pipeline (via register sharing or L0 caches). These techniques provide a range of tradeoffs between latency, reuse, and overhead. In this work, we present a pipeline prefetching technique that achieves state-of-the-art performance and data reuse without additional data storage, data movement, or validation overheads by adding address tags to the register file. Our addition of register file tags allows us to forward (reuse) load data from the register file with no additional data movement, keep the data alive in the register file beyond the instruction’s lifetime to increase temporal reuse, and coalesce prefetch requests to achieve spatial reuse. Further, we show that we can use the existing memory order violation detection hardware to validate prefetches and data forwards without additional overhead. Our design achieves the performance of existing pipeline prefetching while also forwarding 32% of the loads from the register file (compared to 15% in state-of-the-art register sharing), delivering a 16% reduction in L1 dynamic energy (1.6% total processor energy), with an area overhead of less than 0.5%.
