During the last few years, smart homes became reality due to the popularization of Internet of Things (IoT). This kind of environment is composed of several types of IoT heterogeneous wireless devices, where each one has singular characteristics and a particular set of protocols. This fact makes the smart home very complex network to deploy new applications and services. Therefore, a smart home needs an approach to abstract the communication with these IoT devices, improving the flexibility and the manageability of the applications running on the top of the smart home, as well as the network infrastructure as a whole. Within this context, this paper proposes a middleware for communication abstraction of IoT devices in smart homes. The proposed middleware allows the communication with devices through a high-level interface, enabling the management of heterogeneous IoT devices as a generic interface. The experiments performed in a real testbed scenario suggest that the proposed middleware is scalable and improves the management of IoT devices.

Vehicular communication networks that may improve road safety are generating wide interest. As some vehicular networks use the radio frequency medium, channel estimation is crucial. Most channel estimation techniques are designed assuming the Wide Sense Stationary Uncorrelated Scattering (WSSUS) condition for the channel model. However, several measurement campaigns carried out around the world suggest that the WSSUS assumption might not hold in a vehicular environment. In this paper, we use simulations to compare the performance of two IEEE 802.11p-based Channel Estimation techniques in terms of Bit Error Rate (BER) with a channel model that is non-WSSUS. The selected channel model allows velocity variations on the mobiles. We compare the BER results of the estimation schemes varying the value of parameters related to the Doppler effect, namely, acceleration of the mobiles and the distance between them. Our results show that the nonstationarities caused by the Doppler effect are the main cause of the degradation of the system performance. We use the Four-Dimensional Time-Frequency Correlation Function to give prior insights on how the BER performance behaves. Also, we show that the BER performance of time-frequency estimation schemes, such as that of the Spectral Time Averaging technique, is strongly affected by the distance between the mobiles, but not by the accelerations of or the trajectory of these. On the other hand, we show that the BER performance of time interpolation only schemes, such as the Least Square technique, is not affected by the distance between the mobiles or the accelerations of them.

We propose a hybrid precoder for downnlik mmWave massive MU-MIMO system designed through the maximization of the mutual information' upper bound. The methodology of a large number of the hybrid precoder proposed in the literature is focused on finding a hybrid approximation to a digital precoder. However, for our proposed design a known signal processing methodology for traditional MIMO is adapted to mmWave scenarios. Numerical results in terms of mutual information rate show a performance improvement obtained by our proposal in relation to others considered hybrid precoders.

Accurate channel estimation is of utmost importance for massive MIMO systems that allow providing significant improvements in spectral and energy efficiency. In this work, we investigate the spectral efficiency performance and present a channel estimator for multi-cell massive MIMO systems subjected to pilot-contamination. The proposed channel estimator performs well under moderate to aggressive pilot contamination scenarios without prior knowledge of the inter-cell large-scale channel coefficients and noise power. The estimator approximates the performance of a linear Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) as the number of antennas increases. Following, we derive a lower bound closed-form spectral efficiency of the Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) detector in the proposed channel estimator. The simulation results highlight that the proposed estimator performance approaches the linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) channel estimator asymptotically.
