Accurately Accounting for Random Blockage in Device-to-Device mmWave Networks

2017 IEEE Global Communications Conference, GLOBECOM 2017 - Proceedings, 2018-January, 1–6.

Contributors: E. Hriba*, M. Valenti*, K. Venugopal* & R. Heath*

TL;DR: An accurate yet tractable analysis of finite mmWave networks that dispenses with the LOS ball assumption is presented, which is general enough to find applications outside of the present mmWave framework. (via Semantic Scholar)

Achievable uplink rates for massive MIMO with coarse quantization

ICASSP, IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing - Proceedings, 6488–6492.

Contributors: C. Mollén*, J. Choi*, E. Larsson* & R. Heath*

TL;DR: An achievable rate is derived for a massive MIMO system with arbitrary quantization and this rate is used to show that ADCs with as low as 3 bits can be used without significant performance loss at spectral efficiencies around 3.5 bpcu per user. (via Semantic Scholar)

Analysis of interference mitigation in mmWave communications

IEEE International Conference on Communications.

By: A. Jafari, J. Park & R. Heath*

Contributors: A. Jafari, J. Park & R. Heath*

TL;DR: Simulation results show that as the density of base stations increases, interference mitigation through partial zero forcing enhances the probability of coverage implying the necessity of interference mitigation in dense mmWave networks. (via Semantic Scholar)

Analyzing wireless power transfer in millimeter wave networks with human blockages

Proceedings - IEEE Military Communications Conference MILCOM, 2017-October, 115–120.

By: T. Khan* & R. Heath*

Contributors: T. Khan* & R. Heath*

TL;DR: A feasibility study of using mmWave for wireless power transfer in a large-scale network consisting of power beacons and energy harvesters, which suggests that network densification helps improve the performance, despite an increase in the blockage density. (via Semantic Scholar)
