Legal issues of formation and development of digital law in the Kyrgyz Republic by N. S. Semenov, S. R. Semenov

“…In the process of creating the Digital Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, a number of problems were identified that affect legislation in the field of digitalization, such as: absence, i.e. creation of a codified act aimed at developing the digital economy of the Kyrgyz Republic; clarification and development of separate rules for a specific group of digital relations in the digital environment; determination of a special regulator of changes in the NLA, a body that can make changes to the national legislation; defining the scope of digital ecosystems, digital resources and digital services, between the consumer and suppliers of goods and services; determination of legal relations to foreign persons and stateless persons; consent of the subject of the right to data processing.Relevant proposals were made: Change the procedure for special regulation of the digital environment and make changes and additions to the Digital Code, including changing the wording of Article 21 “Digital data, digital records and digital resources that are objects of digital interaction”, adding obligations of subjects of legal relations to Article 26 in the digital environment in the form of compliance with legal requirements, in the field of digital ecosystems, detail Article 2, include separate sections in the field of electronic state, electronic commerce, inheritance of digital rights. …”

Dual functional radar communication based on serial time division CC-CDMA by Yubo LI, Jian CUI, Junchao FENG, Xiaoyu CHEN

“…In order to improve the performance of target detection and solve the problem of self-interference and mutual interference between multiple targets and multiple users, a radar communication integration system based on serial time division CC-CDMA was proposed.Firstly, the code division multiplexing mechanism was used to adjust the spread spectrum sequence of different subcodes in the complementary code to the signals on different time slices at the transmitter through the generalized PTM sequence to generate the integrated signal of radar communication.Secondly, the receiving end of the radar processed the data twice, and the point-by-point minimization method was used to fuse the processing results to improve the target detection capability of the radar subsystem.Lastly, at the receiving end of communication, the subcodes corresponding to the spread spectrum sequence at the transmitting end were used to de-amplify the received signals, and the bit error ratio was further reduced by interleaved coding and Hamming coding.Simulation results show that compared with other radar communication integration systems, the proposed system has lower bit error rate, higher Doppler resolution and better side lobe suppression performance.…”
