Technical perspective and simulation platform for 5G integrated communication and high precision localization by Xinghua JIA, Peng LIU, Wangdong QI, Shengheng LIU, Yongming HUANG, Jialu LI, Jia XU

“…Providing integrated communication and positioning services for smart terminals using widely deployed 5G infrastructure has been a promising way during the 5G standard evolution.Especially in an indoor scenario where the global navigation satellite system fails, high-accuracy localization services can be provided based on the 5G infrastructure, and thus, 5G integrated communication and localization will enable much vertical industry applications.However, there still exist many technical challenges for providing sub-meter-level 5G localization in practical applications.In addition, there is no unified testbed or platform to support the development of 5G localization.Firstly, the challenges that 5G positioning methods face in achieving indoor sub-meter accuracy were analyzed.Then the design of 5G positioning simulator focusing on 5G classical scenarios was introduced.Numerical results show that the uplink-angle-of-arrival-based approach can achieve sub-meter localization accuracy.Finally, the industrialization prospects of 5G indoor high-accuracy positioning technology were proposed.…”

Precoding Based Interference Suppression for Heterogeneous Multi-Tiered Network by Pinyi Ren, Qinghe Du, Pinyi Sun, Datong Xu

“…The coexistence of conventional marcro cells and lowpower small cells form the heterogeneous multi-tiered networks, which can significantly improve the capacity of wireless communications systems. However, the interferences between the marco cells and small cells due to sharing the same frequency band severely degrade the quality of communications and prevent the system capacity from being further enhanced. …”

Research on Spaceborne Multi-Beam Phased Array Fed Refl ector Antenna by Tao YANG, Lei LI, Yongqing ZOU

“…Spaceborne multi-beam antenna is one of the main means to meet the needs of high-capacity and high-speed satellite communication services, and is widely used in various satellite communication systems.Various forms of antennas, such as spaceborne phased array multi-beam antenna, lens multi-beam antenna, conventional refl ector multi-beam antenna and phased array fed reflector multi-beam antenna were introduced.Here, a novel phased array fed reflector multi-beam antenna was demonstrated, the corresponding design method was given, and the prototype was developed and verifi ed.The proposed antenna has the characteristics of transmitting and receiving common aperture, small array size, low cost, scalable beam quantity, fast agility, high dynamic deployment effi ciency as well as good platform adaptability.Compared with the two-dimensional phased array antenna system, the antenna could achieved more beams.Compared with the multi-beam refl ector antenna, it could also realized the agility scanning of all beams and the centralized call ability of 93%~97%.…”

Radio and Clutter Suppression Algorithm Based on Spatial Multiple Beams for Small-Aperture HFSWR by Di Yao, Xin Zhang, Qiang Yang, Weibo Deng

“…Radio and clutter that cover a certain number of range-Doppler-angle cells have a major impact on the detection performance of a high-frequency surface wave radar (HFSWR) system. Especially for a small-aperture array, the angle spectrums of radio and clutter suffer from severe broadening, so the targets that are more easily submerged in the broadened radio and clutter can be hardly detected. …”

Osteoporosis Syndrome in Thalassaemia Major: An Overview by Meropi Toumba, Nicos Skordis

“…Sex steroids act probably by increasing the expression of RANKL by osteoblastic cells and alterations in the RANK/RANKL/OPG system in favor of osteoclasts. Impaired GH secretion and lack of sex steroids in thalassemic patients due to pituitary damage, contribute to failure of achieving optimal peak bone mass. …”
