Tensor-based Random Access for Ambient IoT Contention Resolution

Alberto Rech, Alexis Decurninge, Ala Baccar, Sofiane Kharbech

Ambient Internet of Things (A-IoT) deployments impose stringent hardware constraints, including low-order modulations and simple transceiver architectures. We propose a tensor-based grant-free random access scheme for the initial access message (Msg1) tailored to these limitations. Each device transmits replicas of its short payload structured as a rank-1 tensor over multiple access occasions. The A-IoT receiver performs joint activity detection, channel estimation, and decoding via tensor decomposition and successive interference cancellation. Results show significant throughput gains over conventional schemes while preserving low-complexity transmitter designs.

Spatial and Temporal Correlation of Interference in a Narrow Multibeam LEO Satellite Random Access Network

Ilari Angervuori, Abid Afridi, Risto Wichman

Interference is a limiting factor in the emerging dense low Earth orbit (LEO) networks. In the LEO network, the interference is spatially and temporally correlated. At narrow-beam LEO base stations (BSs), spatial interference can vary significantly, and multipath fading introduce…
