It consists of dual parabolic cylindrical reflectors with multiple resonant feeds. It can generate an arbitrary number of beams with arbitrary vertical and horizontal beam-tilt for each beam. It can be remotely controlled to cover any arbitrary area having any shape/size. It has a very wide frequency band-width. It can even, simultaneously, work at multi wide frequency bands such as 5G-sub-6GHz band (3.3-6.0 GHz), Ku-band (10–16 GHz) and Ka-band (18–31 GHz). A very simple beam tracking technique has been developed without using any adaptive methods. For any specific satellite orbit, the orientation of the ground station (terminal) antenna will always be adjusted such that its generated beams are parallel to the satellite's beams and directed toward them. This automatic orientation of the ground station (terminal) antenna, completely, depends on its location, orientation and elevation with no need for any adaptive beam steering/tracking or any adaptive beam-shaping. Furthermore, the terminal antenna can simultaneously communicate with multiple satellites in different orbits. For example, a penta beam terminal antenna can, simultaneously, communicate with five satellites in five different orbits.","PeriodicalId":106639,"journal":{"name":"2022 5th International Conference on Communications, Signal Processing, and their Applications (ICCSPA)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126071951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As various attacks arise in VANET, it is essential to design mechanisms that can detect these attacks and then mitigate them. In this paper, we make an effort to detect five different position falsification attacks in VANET, including constant attack, constant offset attack, random attack, random offset attack, and eventual stop attack. Two detection systems based on ensemble machine learning algorithms, including stacking ensemble learning algorithms for classification and stacking ensemble learning for neural network, are proposed. We extracted the most important features by performing feature importance techniques. Then, we train the proposed learning algorithms on VeReMi dataset which includes five different position falsification attacks with three traffic densities and three attacker densities. Extensive experimental results are provided to evaluate the proposed solutions' effectiveness. Based on our results, stacking ensemble learning for classification algorithm can achieve the best performance in terms of accuracy and recall. In low density traffic, accuracy and recall of stacking ensemble learning for classification algorithms are 1 for the constant attack, constant offset attack, and random attack. Accuracy and recall for the random offset attack are 0.999 and 0.996, respectively. For the eventual stop attack, accuracy and recall are 0.995 and 0.985, respectively. In medium density, accuracy and recall of stacking ensemble learning also achieve the best performance.","PeriodicalId":106639,"journal":{"name":"2022 5th International Conference on Communications, Signal Processing, and their Applications (ICCSPA)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121716647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the huge number of antennas used in massive MIMO systems causes a high computational complexity during signal detection. In this paper, we propose an efficient massive MIMO detection technique which is based on approximate matrix inversion methods and deep learning to enhance the system performance while keeping computational complexity low. Three approximate methods which are Gauss–Seidel (GS), successive over-relaxation (SOR), and conjugate gradient (CG) are exploited for the initialization of a modified version of the MM network (MMNet) algorithm. The performance of the proposed technique is validated under both Gaussian and realistic channel scenarios, i.e., Quadriga channels models. Simulation results show that the proposed technique outperforms MMNet, minimum mean square estimation (MMSE), detection network (DetNet), and orthogonal approximate message passing deep net (OAMP-Net) in terms of symbol error rate (SER) during offline training. It also provides a significant SER improvement of up to 87% when compared to MMNet in the online training scenario.","PeriodicalId":106639,"journal":{"name":"2022 5th International Conference on Communications, Signal Processing, and their Applications (ICCSPA)","volume":"2012 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125644468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study followed the recent IEEE positioning standard (P802.11 az). The standard was developed to enhance indoor navigation by minimizing the consumption power with low hardware complexity. Therefore, this standard enables the usage of artificial intelligence algorithms with relatively high complexity. Also, the usage of this standard will enhance indoor localization and positioning for different commercial purposes. We proposed two methods: Time Of Arrival (TOA) and fingerprinting-deep learning, considering a simple Single Input-Single Input (SISO) system at five Gigahertz with the highest standard allowable bandwidth. The behavior of TOA had very low performance considering a realistic multi-path case. On the other hand, the deep learning algorithm achieved ultra-high indoor positioning resolution (around twelve centimeters). Although TOA is a technique that relies on a simple hardware algorithm relative to deep learning, this paper proved the failure of TOA in a simple indoor environment even using the latest IEEE positioning standard compared with the deep learning method.","PeriodicalId":106639,"journal":{"name":"2022 5th International Conference on Communications, Signal Processing, and their Applications (ICCSPA)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130623693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
