Massive MIMO is characterized by a large number of base station (BS) antennas, which makes it less susceptible to noise and fast fading. Unfortunately, this large antennas number does not enable the massive MIMO to get rid of the inter-cell interference originated from the problem of pilot contamination. In this article, we propose a spatiotemporal scenario that can mitigate the pilot contamination effects by avoiding synchronous pilot transmission in the time domain and following a pilot allocation algorithm in the spatial domain. We show that our proposed scenario provides a reduced level of inter-cell interference, which eventually gives it the ability to enhance the minimum and the mean achievable capacities per terminal.

To achieve these benefits of the massive MIMO, there are many challenges that need to be handled. One of these challenges is the pilot contamination problem that arises from reusing pilot sequences among the system cells. Since this problem is considered as a bottleneck of the system performance, it attracted many researchers who proposed schemes to solve it. In this paper, we propose a new scheme that mitigates its effect by adopting both asynchronous pilot transmission (APT) and fractional pilot reuse (FPR). We compare the performance of our proposed scheme with other schemes using computer simulations and show that our proposed scheme enhances the performance of the time division duplex (TDD) multi-cell massive MIMO systems in terms of the signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) and capacity.

Hence, this paper proposes an automatic, effective, and accurate Deep Learning (DL)-based fault classification and location technique for these cables via a One-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (1D-CNN) and a Binary Support Vector Machine (BSVM). The proposed approach includes four main steps: data collection, feature extraction and reduction, fault detection, and fault classification and location. Signal collection from the underground cable's sending end is performed via the Alternating Transient Program/Electromagnetic Transient Program (ATP/EMTP). Feature extraction and reduction are performed via Fractional Discrete Cosine Transform (FrDCT) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) methods. Fault detection is performed through leveraging BSVM with the linear Kernel method in the third step. Finally, this permits 1D-CNN to classify the fault type and locate it. Simulation results confirmed the efficiency of our proposed method, especially for 11kV underground cable faults, including different fault resistances and inception angles. Moreover, the proposed technique is applicable in real-time scenarios with a 99.6% accuracy rate, 0.15sec lowest execution time, and 0.095% maximum error rate for fault location at fractional factor (α) equals to 0.8.

We pay attention to studying the achievable rates for the ground users. A practical system model takes into account the presence of hardware impairment when Rayleigh and Rician channels are adopted for the IRS–NOMA–UAV system. Our main findings are presented to showcase the exact expressions for achievable rates, and then we derive their simple approximations for a more insightful performance evaluation. The validity of these approximations is demonstrated using extensive Monte Carlo simulations. We confirm the achievable rate improvement decided by main parameters such as the average signal to noise ratio at source, the position of IRS with respect to the source and destination and the number of IRS elements. As a suggestion for the deployment of a low-cost IoT system, the double-IRS model ...

This system can alter how different entities communicate with one another using an Internet of Things (IoT) network where observed data are handled based on machine learning (ML) technology. On one hand, IoT is employed in observing the different measures of EEWS entities. On the other hand, ML can be exploited to analyze these measures to reach the best action to be taken for disaster management and risk mitigation in smart cities. This paper provides a survey on the different aspects required for that EEWS. First, the IoT system is generally discussed to provide the role it can play for EEWS. Second, ML models are classified into linear and non-linear ones. Third, the evaluation metrics of ML models are addressed by focusing on seismology. Fourth, this paper exhibits a taxonomy that includes the emerging ML and IoT e...
