Lightning Talk Session
Lightning talks are short five minute talks on technical topics. Any
conference related subject can be presented (thoughts triggered by a
presentation, a nifty algorithm trick, a thesis project, open source software
project, company product, etc.).
Rules:
•  Everyone start talk with “My Name is …. And the title of my talk is….”
•  Speaking slots assigned in order of sign up
•  Each speaker is permitted five minutes to speak
–  Use from zero to three slides
–  Please no animation on the slides
–  Use of URLs within the presentations is encouraged
•  The five minute time limit on talks will be strictly enforced. Speakers
should be prepared to present a concise talk
•  Email slides to reder@ieee.org following the session, if you desire them
to be posted on the conference web site

Frequency Modula/on in Foggy Mountain Breakdown
•  Foggy Mountain Breakdown is a bluegrass tune wriDen by
Earl Scruggs and first recorded in 1949
–  It was background music in the 1967 moKon picture
Bonnie and Clyde and various other shows
–  The most recognizable part of this tune is the slide on the
fourth string, from first fret to the second forming the E
minor cord, followed by slow backward roll
–  The slide effec+vely frequency modulates a note from D#
to E crea+ng pronounced breaks within the tune
•  A MathemaKcal Analysis of this FM characterisKc of the Banjo
can be found in: “String Stretching, Frequency Modula+on,
Banjo Clang” by David Politzer, Caltech,

What Limits LTE Cell Edge Performance?
Cell Edge Performance is More UL Receive ≈ DL
Important than Peak Data rates UL Transmit << DL
eNodeB
Data rates reduces => DL Tx

drop in user experience is
very noticeable UL Rx
40W + NF ~ 3dB
DL UL
0.25W
NF ~ 5dB
UL Tx
DL Rx
UE
Cell Edge Performance is Limited by UL Transmit Power

Proposed Use of UE UL Tx Diversity
For Same Reason as Benefit to DL Rx
 Dual Antenna Simultaneous Tx Transmission from UE
 Single Data Stream – Encoded According to Standard – Diversity Gain
 Why Higher Output Power Changes the Case for UE UL Tx Diversity
– Assumptions made during standardization : Total power of ALL Tx ≤ 23dBm
– Higher Powers May Be Possible – and Provide Significant Benefit!
D.Pehlke, A. Raghavan , “Improving Cell Edge Performance with Novel Tx Path Enhancement”,
IWPC Workshop on Optimizing Mobile Device RF Performance Beyond LTE-A, 5/12/2015
Introduction of UL Tx Diversity as a
Solution to the SAR Challenge
 Simultaneous Transmission from Two UE
Antennas can Deliver Potentially 3dB Higher
TRP with Significantly Improved SAR
• SAR is Localized in Hot Spots Around Antennas
• Dual Antenna Tx Enables Spread of Total Power
• Power is Doubled in Far Field at eNodeB
 Benefits
• Higher Power UL and Tx Diversity Both Add to
Address UL Limitations in LTE
• Improved User Experience at Cell Edge
• Larger Coverage Area to Avoid Dropped Calls,
Improve UL SNR, and Extend High Data Rates
Higher Power and Lower SAR May Be
Possible with UE Tx Diversity

Why Underwater Wireless?
Titanic (figure from internet) 2

Why Underwater Wireless?
In 1985, submarine
Argo discovered
Titanic at a depth of
12,000 feet (3657
meters). She used a
very long cable!
(figure from internet)
 Ocean Exploration and Surveillance

 Infrastructure Monitoring 3
Possible communication means for
underwater
 Optical beams: high BW, very short range ~ 20 m
 Magneto-Inductive (MI): limited BW, short range
(100 meters)
 Sound Propagation (Acoustic Communication):
Short range (<1 km): BW=100 kHz (HF)
Medium range (1-100 km): BW=10 - 25 kHz (MF)
BW= 30 - 40 kHz (HF)
Long range (1000 km): BW < 2 kHz (LF)
Underwater wireless communications:

a lot tougher and a lot more fun! 4

POLAR CODES ARE OCBM CODES

SAN DIEGO, CA 92121, USA
8 DEC, 2015 IEEE GLOBECOM, SAN DIEGO, CA, USA

OCBM Codes
 Norbert Stolte introduced OCBM codes in his German 2002 PhD
thesis, “Recursive Codes with the Plotkin-Construction and Their
Decoding”, advised by Ulrich Sorger
 Started with binary 𝑢 𝑢 + 𝑣| Plotkin concatenation of binary outer codes
 Considered BSC and AWGN channels
 Derived reliability of split channels ℎ(𝑢) an d ℎ(𝑣) which assume successive cancellation decoding
 For AWGN channels, assuming split channels will also be Gaussian, the equivalent SNR is
(𝑣) (𝑢)
approximated using the sum-capacity observation 2 𝐶𝐵𝑃𝑆𝐾 = 𝐶ℎ + 𝐶ℎ
 Recursive Plotkin construction: each of the outer codes can be itself
obtained from an 𝑢 𝑢 + 𝑣|
 Maximize minimum Hamming distance of overall code for given dimension 𝑘:
 Dimension of outer codes is 1 on the 𝑘 rows of maximum Hamming weight, set other positions to
“1” ; construction includes Reed-Muller codes for certain k
 Minimize word error probability under bit-wise multi-stage decoding
 With outer code dimension of 1 and equivalent SNR of bit-channels, WEP can be calculated
 Optimized code for bitwise MSD (OCBM code): Select 𝑘 positions with smallest error
(𝑖)
probabilities 𝑃𝑒 to have dimension “1”, and set dimension of other positions to “0”
 Bitwise multistage decoding complexity 𝑂(𝑁 log 𝑁) for code length 𝑁 = 2𝑚
 Based on recursive decoding of Reed-Muller codes, Dumer, ACCC’00
 List decoding with list size 𝐿 and complexity 𝑂(𝐿𝑁 log 𝑁) investigated and
shown to be better than MSD as well as sequential (stack) decoding.
 Based on A* algorithm, previous work with Sorger ISITA’00, and later variations of decoding
metric by Dumer and Shabunov ISIT’01
 Systematic encoding by identifying the set of independent positions in the
code vector 𝒄 given the indices of the input information set, setting them to
desired information bits, and then decoding 12/10/201
 Stolte also noted that systematic encoding gives better BER

Polar Codes
 Arikan proved that polar codes achieve the symmetric capacity of
binary discrete memoryless channels, IT’09
 Used recursive channel combining of identical copies of 𝑊:
 Used channel splitting into good (𝑊 + ) and bad 𝑊 − bit channels
 Use Bhattacharyya Parameters (BPs) as a measure of reliability on a BMS
 BPs term coined by Kailath, TCOM’67, 0 ≤ 2 𝐸 𝑊 ≤ 𝑍 𝑊 ≤ 1
 Recursive formulas for BPs are derived, which hold with equality if W is BEC
 Code construction:
 For 𝑁, 𝑘 code select 𝑘 “good” bit-channels with smallest BPs to carry information
 Freeze remaining “bad” bit-channels to zero
 Encoding and Successive Cancellation Decoding complexities are 𝑂(𝑁 log 𝑁)
 Arikan proved the Channel Polarization Theorem
 For any B-DMC, as 𝑁 → ∞, the fraction of good bit-channels approach the capacity 𝐼 𝑊
 Systematic Encoding of Polar codes, Arikan, CommLett’11
 Construction on AWGN Channels
 Gaussian Approximation and density evolution, Trifonov TCOM’12
 Lower and upper bounds on bit-channel error probability using degrading and
upgrading quantizations, Tal and Vardy, IT’13

IoT and Energy
• What happens if one of the sensor becomes unavailable?
Virtual Sensing Paradigm (VSP)
• Can the sensed value of the unavailable sensor be predicted?
VSP: WHAT & WHY
• Predict sensing value of an unavailable sensor with the help of one/more

correlated (neighboring) sensor(s).
• Save energy
• Estimate missing data (one/more)
• Temporary replacement for faulty device
• Less bandwidth consumption

Active Virtual
Sensor (AVS)
Guess/predict the next position – up/down?
VSP: HOW?
AVS:
a)sensor in sleep mode
b)predict sensor data exploiting spatio-temporal correlation
c)correlations are calculated using training data before sleep-mode
d)significant energy savings.
PVS:
a) suppress data transmission if data can be predicted based on
temporal correlation
b) Some energy saving due to reduced transmission
c) Help a AVS for accurate prediction (spatial correlation)
Phases in Sensor Data Collection
• Complement sensors during operational period;

X: Passive-VS, Y: Active-VS.
Prediction Technique for AVS
• Hybrid of a transversal filter (for temporal prediction) and linear regression

(spatial prediction).
Mixing in right proportion
temporal spatial final

estimate estimate estimate
Y [ k ] = g · ytem [ k ] + d · yspa [ k ]
Real v/s Predicted Sensor Values
• Sensor data are collected from “Sensorscope: Lausanne Urban

canopy deployment”
Prediction Error Variation
• Average prediction error for various operational period and

revalidation period.
Energy Consumption Comparison
• Combined energy consumption for two nodes using VSP and LMS-based
scheme*.
* S. Santini and K. Romer. “An adaptive strategy for quality-based data reduction in wireless sensor networks” .
Is that it?
• Can two different types of sensors be correlated?
• If yes, can we apply VSP on them?
• We have applied VSP on data collected from a light and a

temperature sensor.
See the plots carefully!
Heterogeneous Virtual Sensing
• Temperature sensor values are predicted using a light sensor as its

companion.
