For massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems operating at millimeter-wave bands, hybrid analog-digital structure adopted transceiver design to reduce the cost of radio frequency chains. In MIMO systems, received signals antennas are not sent receiver directly, and spatial covariance matrix, which is essential MUSIC algorithm, thus unavailable. As a...

We formalize the distance-sensitive service discovery problem in wireless sensor and actor networks, propose a novel localized algorithm, iMesh. Unlike existing solutions, iMesh uses no global computation generates constant per-node storage load. In iMesh, new providers (i.e., actors) publish their location information four directions, updating an mesh. Information propagation for relatively remote services is restricted by blocking rule, which also updates mesh structure. Based on extension...
