Therefore, in order to improve the angular resolution, we have applied the Khatri-Rao product virtual array processing which can virtually increase the aperture length of antenna array, and aimed to realize high-resolution 2D imaging of a drone. In order to investigate the effectiveness of our proposal, the measurement experiments were conducted for three types of typical commercial drones (Phantom 3, Matrice 600, Mavic pro). The experimental results showed that our proposal could improve the 2D image of each drone and make it easier to recognize the shape of drone.","PeriodicalId":186233,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Topical Conference on Wireless Sensors and Sensor Networks","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114777529","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}

Providing such strict service requirements is potentially difficult. As a solution, the 5G standard suggests taking advantage of the packet duplication strategy whereby two data sessions are established between one or two base stations and the node running the URLLC service. However, the technical specifications of the duplication strategy are not addressed by the standard, and thus, its implementation is left up to the mobile network operators. In this paper, we propose a state-recovery protocol for URLLC applications that assists packet-duplication frameworks by recovering the state of transmitted packets in the case of acknowledgment loss. Based on such state information, packet-duplication frameworks can intelligently control the duplication rate to provide URLLC-level reliability while using as little resource as possible based on the current network conditions. We validate our protocol through multiple experiments on srsRAN nodes implemented on Colosseum, the world's largest radio frequency emulator.","PeriodicalId":186233,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Topical Conference on Wireless Sensors and Sensor Networks","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116493114","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, in the case that the SDR needs to transmit (TX) this delay prevents from synchronizing the TX to the RX. This is crucial for many applications in communication and sensing though. This publication proposes and implements a method on a low-cost SDR transceiver, that provides the possibility to TX at a given time related to the RX with an error of ±l sample.","PeriodicalId":186233,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Topical Conference on Wireless Sensors and Sensor Networks","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134628898","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}

The quality of service based resource allocation model (Q-RAM) provides a framework for profound and quantifiable decision-making but lacks a representation of inter-task dependencies that can e.g. arise for tracking and synchronisation tasks. As a consequence, synchronisation is usually performed in fixed non-optimal patterns. We present an extension of Q-RAM which enables the resource allocation to consider complex inter-task dependencies and can produce adaptive and intelligent synchronisation schemes.

Voltage-controlled oscillators (V COs) present nonlinearities in their tuning curve. Then, once VCOs are a fundamental building block in many continuous-wave radar systems, these nonlinearities translate into negative effects in terms of range resolution performance. A common approach to generating linear tuning curves is to connect the system VCO to a phase-locked loop (PLL). Although, PLLs increase the system complexity and cost. This work presents a way to improve the range resolution in a portable and low-cost C-band FMCW radar system. The radar VCO is driven by a microcontroller that applies a customized waveform developed to compensate for the nonlinear behavior to achieve such results.","PeriodicalId":186233,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Topical Conference on Wireless Sensors and Sensor Networks","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124779435","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}
