In the proposed method, the transmitted information is divided into pieces using a secret-sharing method. These generated pieces are then transmitted separately to the destination through the parallel sub-channels of the MIMO communication link. The secret-sharing method ensures that the transmitted information remains unrevealed unless all the divided pieces are obtained, thus achieving secure communication by establishing an advantageous situation for the legitimate receiver to gather the divided pieces against wiretappers in the surrounding area. Computer simulations demonstrate that allocating transmission power inverse-proportionally to the channel gains among the MIMO sub-channels creates a secure link to the receiver from the channel capacity perspective. The secret capacity of the link increases with the number of antenna elements in the MIMO configuration at the expense of power gain.","PeriodicalId":54101,"journal":{"name":"IEICE Communications Express","volume":"13 3","pages":"72-75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10400558","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140042866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, most previous studies on MPT focused on improving charging efficiency and have ignored the harmful effects on wireless communication devices that are sensitive to the considerable received signal power caused by the electromagnetic radiation of microwaves. To resolve this problem, this study introduces into MPT the signal-to-leakage-and-noise ratio (SLNR), used to suppress co-channel interference in multi-user Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) downlink communications. We establish a beamforming scheme that maximizes SLNR for MPT. Compared with a beamforming scheme that does not consider leakage power, the proposed method transmits power to intended receivers while suppressing leakage power to protected devices. Based on simulations, our method decreases the leak power to protected devices by over 10 dB while maintaining the received power at the targeted receivers, compared with the conventional method.","PeriodicalId":54101,"journal":{"name":"IEICE Communications Express","volume":"13 2","pages":"39-42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10355758","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139700484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the problem of mutual interference between automotive radar signals is becoming a non negligible threat. Mutual interference can cause a significant performance decrease of radar target detection, and this artide proposes a simple and efficient target detection method to address this issue. The proposed method utilizes the distribution difference between target echoes and interference signals in the time-frequency domain to obtain a accumulation vector of spectral peaks, which follow a Poisson distribution. Based on that, the Poisson constant false alarm detection method is proposed to detect target echos effectively at low signal-to-interference ratios. The experimental results show that the detection accuracy of the method is above 95% when the signal-to-interference ratio is below -20dB. In addition, this algorithm does not require interference compression before detecting the target, and its computational complexity is only slightly greater than that of the short time Fourier transform, so it is a fast anti interference detection method.","PeriodicalId":54101,"journal":{"name":"IEICE Communications Express","volume":"13 2","pages":"26-29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10355753","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139700485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
