Abstract:

Massive Internet of Things (mIoT) is a major use case of the fifth generation (5G) wireless systems. To enable mIoT, it is required to support a large number of simultaneous connection requests from the IoT devices. The conventional Long Term Evolution (LTE) random access procedure hinders supporting mIoT due to the limited number of available random access preambles. In this talk, we propose to aggregate two Zadoff-Chu preamble sequences to obtain a larger set of random access preambles by considering all the combinations of pairing two different sequences. Decoding the aggregate preambles is challenging because we need to decode two Zadoff-Chu preamble sequences that are allocated half of the transmit power each. Hence, we present a preamble decoding receiver by training a deep neural network (DNN) to decode the aggregate preambles successfully. The proposed design outperforms other collision avoidance techniques such as access class barring (ACB) in terms of a lower average total service time. Furthermore, the proposed receiver design decodes the aggregate preambles with lower probability of misdetection and false alarms compared to decoding single Zadoff-Chu preambles with a conventional LTE preamble decoding receiver.
