Robust Localization in Distributed MIMO Radar Using Delay and Angle Measurements with Impulsive Noise Robust TD/AOA Localization in Impulsive Noise by Genling Huang, Yanlong Zhu

“…This paper considers target localization using time delay (TD) and angle of arrival (AOA) measurements in distributed multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar. Aiming at the problem that the localization performance of existing algorithms degrades sharply in the presence of impulsive noise, we propose a novel localization algorithm based on ℓp-norm minimization and iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS). …”

Multi-satellite cooperative beam hopping resource allocation based on interference perception by Jinlong HU, Jihong LIU, Yiqing ZHOU, Huan CAO, Zifan LIU, Jiawei ZHAO, Jinhong YUAN

“…Beam hopping (BH) technology is one of effective ways to solve limitation of beam resources and enhance the system coverage ability of low earth orbit (LEO) satellite systems.Existing research typically considers beam hopping resource allocation for a single LEO satellite, however, the actual LEO system is covered by multiple satellites in multiple orbits, and existing research ignores beam interference between satellites, which can easily lead to a decrease in system throughput and service quality.To address these issues, this paper designs an interference aware cooperative resource allocation for LEO with beam hopping (IARA-BH), aiming to maximize the beam service satisfaction (BSS).A BH resource allocation scheme by multi satellite interference coordination based on simulated annealing algorithm (MSIC-SAA) is proposed to solve the optimization problem.Simulation experiments show that compared to beam hopping resource allocation schemes that only consider a single satellite, the BSS of the MSIC-SAA algorithm has been improved by 47.24%, the average signal to interference noise ratio (SINR) has been improved by 27.40%, and the system throughput has been improved by 22.92%.…”

Design of fairness-driven RSMA-SDMA precoding by Yanjing SUN, Fengzhi CHENG, Jiasi ZHOU, Song LI

“…In view of the minimum user rate and system fairness when the transmit power was limited, a user access mode selection transmission strategy by joint rate-splitting multiple access (RSMA) and space division multiple access (SDMA) was proposed.The precoding design problem of maximizing system fairness was modeled.In order to solve the discrete non-convex optimization problem formed, it was decomposed into two non-convex sub-problems, such as the user access mode selection and the inner optimal precoding design.For the precoding design, a quadratic transform of multidimensional and complex FP was used to transform the precoding design into double rotation, and the closed-form expression of the optimal solution for the outer user access mode selection was obtained.Convex optimization was used to solve the inner precoding design problem, and successively optimize the user access mode selection.An algorithm based on fractional optimization was proposed for the problem, and the optimal precoding vector was designed using the quadratic transform of multidimensional and complex FP to maximize the minimum user rate under power constraints.The simulation results prove that compared with RSMA, SDMA and other transmission strategies, the fairness-driven RSMA-SDMA precoding design improves the minimum user rate of the system and guarantees the system fairness.…”

Environment-aware based access point deployment optimization for cell-free massive MIMO system by Jing JIANG, Yongqiang LIU, Fengyang YAN, Sha TAO, Sutthiphan WORAKRIN

“…Cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems deploy a large number of access point (AP) across the coverage area which can provide uniform high-rate services to users.However, the quality of coverage would be affected by path loss, shadow fading scatters, and environmental occlusions around the randomly placed AP in conventional cell-free massive MIMO systems that do not consider their impact.Considering the impact of actual wireless propagation environments, an AP deployment scheme was proposed to acquire uniform and consistent coverage.Firstly, a hybrid probabilistic path loss model was utilized to characterize various wireless propagation environments.Then, the AP deployment optimization problem was solved with the objective of maximizing the average throughput.Finally, the problem was transformed into a Markov game process and solved by the multi-agent deep deterministic policy gradient (MADDPG) algorithm.The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can provide more uniform coverage in complex environments and serve users with reliable and consistent service compared to random AP deployment and existing AP deployment methods.…”

Multi-function supported privacy protection data aggregation scheme for V2G network by Baiji HU, Xiaojuan ZHANG, Yuancheng LI, Rongxin LAI

“…In view of the problem that the functions of the current privacy protection data aggregation scheme were insufficient to meet the increasingly rich application requirements, a multi-function supported privacy protection data aggregation (MFPDA) scheme for V2G network was proposed.By using cryptographic algorithms such as BGN, BLS, and Shamir’s secret sharing, as well as fog computing and consortium blockchain technology, multiple security functions like fault tolerance, resistance to internal attacks, batch signature verification, no need for trusted third parties, and multiple aggregation functions were integrated into one privacy protection data aggregation scheme.Security analysis shows that the proposed scheme can protect data aggregation’s security, privacy and reliability.The performance evaluation shows that the introduction of fog computing can significantly reduce the computing overhead of the control center, and the reduction rate can be as high as 66.6%; the improvement of the consortium blockchain can effectively reduce the communication and storage overhead of the system, and the reduction rate can reach 16.7% and 24.9% respectively.…”

The Rank-One property for free Frobenius extensions by Bellamy, Gwyn, Thiel, Ulrich

“…A conjecture by the second author, proven by Bonnafé–Rouquier, says that the multiplicity matrix for baby Verma modules over the restricted rational Cherednik algebra has rank one over $\mathbb{Q}$ when restricted to each block of the algebra.In this paper, we show that if $H$ is a prime algebra that is a free Frobenius extension over a regular central subalgebra $R$, and the centre of $H$ is normal Gorenstein, then each central quotient $A$ of $H$ by a maximal ideal $\mathfrak{m}$ of $R$ satisfies the rank-one property with respect to the Cartan matrix of $A$. …”
