Fifth-generation cellular mobile networks are expected to support mission critical URLLC services in addition to enhanced mobile broadband applications. This article first introduces three emerging mission critical applications of URLLC and identifies their requirements on end-to-end latency and reliability. We then investigate the various sources of end-to-end delay of current wireless networks by taking 4G LTE as an example. Then we propose and evaluate several techniques to reduce the end-to-end latency from the perspectives of error control coding, signal processing, and radio resource management. We also briefly discuss other network design approaches with the potential for further latency reduction.

This letter proposes a novel nonlinear constellation mapping (NLCM) scheme for the rate compatible modulation (RCM) approach in low-To-moderate signal to noise ratios (SNRs). In NLCM, each RCM coded symbol is mapped to a complexvalued amplitude phase shift keying (APSK) constellation point. Moreover, we provide a novelmethod of designing code degree and weight set for a wide SNR range. The proposed NLCM is developed to increase the throughput and decrease the peak to average power ratio (PAPR) at the same time. Both analysis and simulation results show that the NLCM scheme outperforms the original RCM in terms of throughput and PAPR.

In this paper, we consider the design of training beam sequence for sparse millimeter wave (mmWave) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) tracking systems. We use Markov random walks to model the temporal variations of the beam steering angle of arrival (AoA) and angle of departure (AoD), respectively. By exploiting the MIMO virtual channel representation, the AoA/AoD tracking problem is equivalent to choosing a set of directional training beams to find the nonzero elements in a two-dimensional virtual channel matrix. Furthermore, in contrast to existing work that used each transmitting-receiving beam pair once only, we consider a more general case such that each beam pair might be adopted more than once in the tracking procedure. As the number of repetitions of each transmitting-receiving beam pair can only be integer, the training beam sequence design problem is then formulated as an integer nonlinear programming (INLP) problem. To resolve the formulated INLP problem, we derive a tractable lower bound of the successful tracking probability and then decompose it into a set of convex INLP subproblems, which are solved by implementing an iterative branch-and-bound (BB) method. Numerical results show that our proposed iterative BB algorithm significantly outperforms the benchmark schemes and achieves near-optimal tracking performance.
