基于数据协方差矩阵重构的MIMO声纳DOA估计

实际多输入多输出(MIMO)声纳系统由于环境或人为因素,可能出现部分阵元失效,从而导致阵列自由度减少、方位估计精度下降。本文提出了一种数据协方差矩阵重构方法,该方法基于差分阵列性质,利用正常工作阵元的协方差矩阵元素来恢复失效阵元的矩阵元素,获得满秩的数据协方差矩阵,从而恢复到全阵元MIMO声纳的阵列自由度。与已有方法相比,降低了计算复杂度。仿真及海试实验数据处理结果表明,本文所提的数据协方差矩阵重构方法能够恢复因部分阵元失效而丢失的阵列自由度,应用于方位估计中,所能分辨的最大目标数与全阵元相同。     

Sum rates for multi-user MIMO vector perturbation precoding with regularization

In this paper, we analyze the sum rate performance of multiuser multi-antenna downlink channel. We consider Rayleigh fading environment when regularized vector perturbation precoding (R-VPP) method is used at the transmitter. We derive expressions for the sum rate in terms of the variance of the received signal. We also provide a closed form approximation for the mean squared error (MSE) which is shown to work well for the whole range of SNR. Further, we also propose a simpler expression for R-VPP sum rate based on MSE. The simulation results show that the proposed expressions for R-VPP sum rate closely match the sum rate found by the entropy estimation. Our results show that when compared with other linear and non-linear precoding methods (like zero-forcing precoder, linear minimum mean square error (MMSE) precoder and VPP), R-VPP sum rate performance is very close to DPC for all SNR values. It is also noted that the sum rate performance of the linear MMSE precoder is very close to the R-VPP at low to medium SNR range. Finally we also compared the merits of performing regularization for VPP as compared to the greedy rate maximizing user scheduling. It turns out that the R-VPP with or without user selection performs better than the VPP systems with user selection.

A stochastic confocal ellipsoid channel model for high speed railway MIMO communication systems

This paper investigates the channel model for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems in high speed railway (HSR) networks. Specially, a three-dimensional (3D) confocal stochastic geometry ellipsoid model is proposed for modeling the MIMO channels. Normalized space–time correlation function(ST CF), Spatial cross correlation function (CCF) and level crossing rate (LCR) of both theoretical and simulation model are have been derived and analyzed. As a 3D GBSM, the proposed confocal ellipsoid model has lower correlation in spatial cross-correlation function (CCF) compared with that of the corresponding two-dimensional (2D) ellipse model. Measurement data of different HSR scenarios verify the applicability of the confocal ellipsoid model.     

Decision-directed Kalman particle filter with application to the MIMO phase noise channel

Demodulation of data transmitted over time-varying channels with a free running hidden Markov state, like the phase noise channel or the fading channel, requires that the receiver tracks the hidden channel state. The tracking technique adopted in the paper is based on non-data-aided sequential importance sampling, also known as particle filtering.The paper proposes a new particle filtering framework for data communication receivers based on an importance distribution such that each individual particle becomes a decision-directed Kalman filter relying upon its local symbol-by-symbol hard decisions. In this framework, different particles are left free to take different sequences of decisions. This leaves to the receiver the possibility of exploring different sequences of transmitted modulation symbols. The weight of the particle will be high for those particles that took in the past the correct sequence of decisions, while will be low for those particles that took wrong decisions. In the resampling procedure, particles with high weight will survive, while particles with low weight will be terminated, leaving space to the birth of new particles resampled from the surviving ones.The crucial point in importance sampling is the choice of the importance distribution and the main novelty of the paper is the proposal of an importance distribution such that the particles of the particle filter become decision-directed Kalman filters. One important benefit brought by our proposed method is that, being non-data-aided, it does not need pilot symbols, thus allowing to preserve the transmission rate. A significant application example, presented and developed in the paper, is constituted by MIMO systems affected by phase noise, where the channel state vector consists of many parameters.     

Secrecy sum rate maximization for a MIMO-NOMA uplink transmission in 6G networks

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), as a well-qualified candidate for sixth-generation (6G) mobile networks, has been attracting remarkable research interests due to high spectral efficiency and massive connectivity. The aim of this study is to maximize the secrecy sum rate (SSR) for a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)-NOMA uplink network under the maximum total transmit power and quality of service (QoS) constraints. Thanks to the generalized singular value decomposition method, the SSR of NOMA is compared with conventional orthogonal multiple access and other baseline algorithms in different MIMO scenarios. Due to the subtractive and non-convex nature of the SSR problem, the first-order Taylor approximation is exploited to transform the original problem into a suboptimal concave problem. Simulation results are provided and compared with some other benchmarks to evaluate the efficacy of the proposed method.

Automatic equipment for photographing moving objects in the sea

A project was undertaken to construct and build automatic equipment for photographing moving objects (fish) in the sea. An acoustic echo sounder was used to transmit and receive echo signals. By analysing the received echo strength it was possible to take pictures when the object was near the centre of the echo sounder beam. The test series taken showed fish in over 90% of the pictures, and in most of these one or more fish could be seen near the centre.
