Although WAM performs better than radar, it requires a large number of ground stations. A possible solution by which to reduce the number of stations is to obtain additional measurements, such as the angle of arrival (AOA) and barometric altitude. However, the feasibility of hybrid localization has not been experimentally proven. Therefore, this study presents an experiment on aircraft localization using TDOA, AOA, and barometric altitude measurements to demonstrate that aircraft localization at only two sites is possible.","PeriodicalId":54101,"journal":{"name":"IEICE Communications Express","volume":"14 6","pages":"246-249"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10964017","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144196877","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}

First, we briefly review the generalized <tex>$kQ$</tex> theory with respect to the reciprocal two-port impedance matrix.

One dipole is excited by a sinusoidal current, and the other dipole observes the voltage induced across it. Solving a 2D Helmholtz equation yields <tex>$kQ=sqrt{lambda/d}/pi$</tex>, where <tex>$lambda$</tex> is the wavelength and <tex>$d$</tex> is the distance between the dipoles. Similarly, we apply the <tex>$kQ$</tex> theory to a 3D problem and obtain <tex>$kQ=3lambda/4pi d$</tex>.

Consequently, post-quantum cryptography (PQC) has emerged as an inevitable trend for the future. Among PQC approaches, lattice-based cryptography and hash-based cryptography have already been standardized, while code-based cryptography remains a candidate for standardization. In light of these developments, this study proposes a Code-based Butterfly Key Expansion (CBKE) mechanism, built on code-based cryptography principles. The proposed method enables a registration authority (RA) to expand an original code-based caterpillar public key into a code-based cocoon public key, achieving anonymity for entities other than the RA. Subsequently, a certificate authority further expands the code-based cocoon public key into a code-based butterfly public key, which is then embedded in a pseudonymous certificate as the public key for the end entity. This approach ensures anonymity for both the RA and other entities. To enhance computational efficiency, the study proposes a random invertible matrix generation algorithm with a time complexity of O(n). This algorithm achieves high efficiency and anonymity without increasing the key length, thereby addressing the computational demands of the proposed method effectively.","PeriodicalId":54101,"journal":{"name":"IEICE Communications Express","volume":"14 7","pages":"296-299"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11005705","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144671114","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}

Network conditions can be estimated based on the network throughput or playback buffer level. However, the conventional proportional-derivative (PD)-based ABR algorithm that considers both network through-put and playback buffer level can degrade the quality of experience (QoE) when the available bandwidth of each user fluctuates. This study proposes an ABR algorithm that combines multiple bitrate selection methods using PD control and buffer-based throughput estimation, considering buffer-level fluctuations to achieve a stable bitrate and buffer-level control. Simulations confirm that the proposed algorithm improves QoE under multi-user and throughput-varying conditions and does not negatively impact another ABR algorithm in a heterogeneous environment.","PeriodicalId":54101,"journal":{"name":"IEICE Communications Express","volume":"14 7","pages":"283-286"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11005711","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144671112","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}
