Spectral efficiency is always a key factor to be improved and optimized along mobile communication networks evolving generation by generation. 5G enabling technologies must take spectral efficiency into consideration. In this paper, we show the performance of three key 5G technologies in sense of spectral efficiency improvement. Sparse code multiple access, polar codes, and filtered orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing are novel multiple access technology, channel coding scheme, and waveform, respectively. The combination of them is implemented in a 5G field trial testbed by NTT DOCOMO and Huawei for the first time. According to the field test results, we achieve over 100% spectral efficiency improvement comparison with baseline, where orthogonal frequency-division multiple access and turbo coding as LTE are used.

Convergence is a term that has been gaining increasing attention across the globe. Conceptually situated between technological and socio-cultural domains – as has been intensely debated between the technological and social determinists since the birth of computer mediated communication (CMC) – mobile culture is no exception. It is powered by inter-operable and multi-functional mobile telecommunication technologies, which are also becoming increasingly high functional especially via fixed-mobile convergence, interconnecting fixed and wireless broadband networks. Wide diffusion and convergence of digital communication technologies – wired and wireless – in recent years have resulted in the emergence of two key paradigmatic convergences: between technology and sociality, and between productivity and play. I will first elucidate these convergences; I will then discuss cultural characteristics of specific East Asian cultures, focusing on South Korea, China, and Japan.

In this paper, we are interested in Photovoltaic systems (PV) which generate electricity from solar radiation. More precisely, our contribution consists in the implementation of a remote monitoring and control PV system for standalone applications located in an open environment. The novelty of our approach relies on the fact that it is operational even in the case of a huge spread deployment of PV system. Our solution aims to be a good replacement of manually module checking which is not recommended because of time-consuming, less accuracy and potentially dangerous to the operator. The proposed solution consists in two essential parts. First, we suggest robust and reliable measurements and control system based on a star architecture of a group of sensor network. The supervisory control system is assumed by a microcontroller chip and a human-machine interface (HMI). A software is designed and developed for interacting and managing remote sensor systems by applying LabVIEW, a virtual instrument platform. Then, we introduce, as a communication technology, a full duplex digital system using the infrastructure of mobile radio system. The result of our demonstration shows that the system can monitor and control the remote communication between the monitoring center and the remote PV station. Thus, the remote monitoring functions are realized in real-time.

Ultra high energy cosmic rays are the most energetic of subatomic particles in the universe. They are measured to have energies of up to 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">20</sup> eV and occur at a rate of about once per square kilometer and century. To increase the probability of detecting one of these events, a huge detector covering a large area is needed. During the last decades, the Pierre Auger collaboration [1] build up an observatory covering 3000 square kilometers of the Pampa Amarilla close to Malargüe for this purpose. Until now, the Auger experiment was controlled exclusively via the local network for security and performance reasons. As local operation is associated with high travel costs, the Auger ACCESS project was started in 2005 to find a secure, operable and sustainable solution for remote control and monitoring. This paper descibes the implemented solution, including Grid technologies for secured access and infrastructure virtualization for building up a fully featured testing environment for the Pierre Auger Observatory. Finally, measurement results are presented together with a specification of a remote control room and associated benefits for the future of the Auger experiment.

The wireless communication and process control system are being used to transmit alarm and flow metering, emergency shutdown, and paging functions between five satellite wellhead platforms and production platform central monitoring system at the Attaka field. Each producing facility is designed to be compatible with remote supervisory control. To obtain this compatibility and a high degree of safety, conditions in each portion of the process system are monitored. Paralleling the development of automatic control techniques were computer applications. A simple computer system are being used to control and monitor three gas dehydration towers which comprise a portion of the Union LEX Plant operation at Santan onshore facility. Expectations and development of future systems and evaluation of past experience are discussed in the conclusion.

We describe a new, low-cost system designed to provide multi-sensor remote condition monitoring of modern scientific laboratories and to allow users to perform actions from remote locations in the case of detection of specified events. The system is battery operated and does not require the presence of a local area network or WiFi (which are typically not available in the case of, e.g., power losses), as it exploits the growing infrastructure of Internet of Things low-power wide area networks. In particular, our system exploits the new SigFox ultra-narrow-bandwidth infrastructure and provides a bidirectional link between the instrumentation and the remote user even in the case of power line outages, which are among the most critical situations that a scientific laboratory can withstand. The system can detect the occurrence of predefined events in very short times and autonomously react with a series of predefined actions, also allowing a remote user to timely perform additional actions on the system through a user-friendly smartphone application or via a browser interface. The system also embeds a novel power loss detection architecture, which detects power line failures in less than 2ms. We provide a full characterization of the prototype, including reaction times, connection latencies, sensor sensitivity, and power consumption.
