Characterization of Using Hybrid Beamforming in mmWave Virtual Reality

Abstract

Wireless Virtual Reality (VR) is increasingly in demand in Wireless LANs (WLANs). In this paper, a utility function for resource management in wireless VR is proposed. Maximizing the sum rate metric in transmitting VR audio or videos is an important factor for ascertaining low latency in obtaining QoS requirement of users in VR, so forth mmWave frequency band in WLAN technology should be used. This frequency band is presented in IEEE 802.11ad/ay. Resource access method in IEEE 802.11ay standard is MultiUser MIMO (MU-MIMO) with OFDM modulation. Operating at mmWave frequency band is equal to use massive number of antenna to enhance the received power in (Line of Sight) LoS direction by inducing sever propagation with small wavelength. Also for reducing the complexity of hardware in mmWave technology, designers should select some number of connected phase shifters to each antenna element by hybrid beamforming method. Processing delay, transmission delay and queue delay should be considered in acquiring QoS metric in terms of utility function. The optimal closed form expression of the multi-attribute utility function is based on these delays that are calculated by downlink and uplink rates in assistant with hybrid beamforming. Trends of transmission delay and multi-attribute utility function in various Es/N0 values and different scenarios are analyzed. Based on these results, 95.4% accuracy in comparison with ns3 in uplink and downlink channel modeling in IEEE 802.11ay standard's indoor environment has been reported. Also, it is shown that min channel gain consideration can cause reduction in the value of the utility function and incursion in transmission delay in VR.

Message-Level Scheduling for RLNC-Coded Multi-Source Traffic

This paper studies weighted decoding-delay minimization for multiple RLNC-coded message streams that compete for finite processing capacity at a destination. Packet arrivals are exogenous, while the scheduler only determines the processing order of packets already available at the destination. A trace-conditioned offline scheduling formulation shows that a batch-release subclass is strongly NP-hard even with a single processing unit. Message-Aware Innovation-Deficit Scheduling (MAIDS) is then developed to prioritize each serviceable message according to its weight and remaining decoding deficit. For a single processing unit, MAIDS is shown to be exactly optimal under nonblocking progressive arrivals with equal weights and under common activation with arbitrary positive weights, while the unrestricted weighted online problem admits no universal deterministic $O(1)$ competitive ratio. Simulation results on streaming and batch benchmarks show that MAIDS consistently reduces weighted decoding delay relative to the tested baselines, remains close to the offline optimum on average, and recovers the predicted exact performance boundaries.

The Towers Were Standing: A Cause Decomposition of Cellular Outages During Hurricane Helene

Hurricane Helene produced the largest absolute cell-site outage in the public FCC record, peaking at 4562 sites. The conventional model is physical: towers destroyed. Helene did destroy over 1700 miles of fibre, but almost none of it was cell sites. We present the first cause-decomposed study of the FCC's Disaster Information Reporting System, reconstructing 80 state-days and 580 county-days from 24 daily filings by two reconciled independent extractions. Damage to cell sites is negligible: 1.1% of attributed cell-site-days across six states, at most 3.8% anywhere. The sites were standing. What took them out divides by terrain: pooled, power dominates at 63.2%, but in mountainous North Carolina severed transport (backhaul) reaches 52.2% against 47.3%, and in Tennessee 69.9%. North Carolina's transport share rises from 7.0% to 85.0% across the event (\r{ho} = 0.92). Seventeen days after landfall, on 15 October, 47 sites lost transport across six contiguous North Carolina counties with no rainfall, no power loss, no damage, and recovery by the next report. Independent active-probe measurement corroborates it: responsive /24s fall 1.02% for twelve hours while Tennessee stays flat. We release the dataset. Backup power is the standard resilience investment; here it addresses the smaller half of the problem.

terms.txt: A Consent and Compensation Protocol for Agentic Web Access

The open web ran on an unwritten bargain: sites admitted crawlers, and search engines sent visitors back. Public measurements show that bargain breaking under AI crawlers and agents. Automated clients now make up most requests, training dominates Cloudflare-classified crawling, and the largest AI platforms fetch thousands of pages for each visitor they return. The web's common control, robots.txt, cannot express identity, purpose, terms, or price, can be circumvented, and newer alternatives are largely proprietary CDN features. We specify terms.txt, a robots.txt-style file for per-path, per-purpose machine-access terms, plus an origin-enforced exchange using Web Bot Auth signatures, signed intent, delegation tokens, HTTP 402 negotiation, and signed receipts. We define what the exchange can enforce, audit, and leave to contract. A dependency-free implementation adds 0.20 to 0.65 ms per request on one vCPU.
