Recently, mobile HAPs have emerged for efficient network use, and the throughput of the network depends on their location. There are two kinds of metrics for throughput, that is, sum throughput and common throughput; each is the sum and minimum value of throughput between a HAP and each wireless device, respectively. Likewise, two types of throughput maximization problems can be considered, sum throughput maximization and common throughput maximization. In this paper, we focus on the latter to propose a deep learning-based methodology for common throughput maximization by optimally placing a mobile HAP for WPCN. Our study implies that deep learning can be applied to optimize a complex function of common throughput maximization, which is a convex function or a combination of a few convex functions. The experimental results show that our approach provides better performance than mathematical methods for smaller maps.

Along with an access point (AP) continuously transmitting the primary data to a primary user (PU), a secondary source (SS) can transmit the secondary data to a secondary destination (SD) with the help of SR using the decode-and-forward (DF) protocol. SR can harvest energy from both SS and AP in both time and power domains using time-splitting and power-splitting techniques. The interference from primary data transmissions can help boost the amount of harvested energy at SR. The transmit power of SS is regulated by the interference threshold at PU and the allowable peak power. Despite the above two constraints, the transmit power of SR is further constrained by the amount of harvested energy. Once SR successfully decodes the data from SS, it will forward the data to SD using a constrained power. We analyze the approximate outage probabilities for both primary and secondary systems. Simulation results are provided to verify the effectiveness of our theoretical analysis and reveal the impacts of various parameters to the outage performance.

Such a schedule for LDPC codes has, in general, reduced implementation complexity compared to a fully parallel architecture and higher convergence rate compared to both serial and parallel architectures, regardless of the codeword length or code-rate. In this paper, we introduce a modified shuffling method which shuffles the rows of the parity-check matrix (PCM) of a quasi-cyclic LDPC (QC-LDPC) code, yielding a PCM in which each layer can be produced by the circulation of its above layer one symbol to the right. The proposed shuffling scheme additionally guarantees the columns of a layer of the shuffled PCM to be either zero?weight or single?weight. This condition has a key role in further decreasing LD complexity. We show that due to these two properties, the number of occupied look-up tables (LUTs) on a field programmable gate array (FPGA) reduces by about 93% and consumed on-chip power by nearly 80%, while the bit error rate (BER) performance is maintained. The only drawback of the shuffling is the degradation of decoding throughput, which is negligible for low values of Eb/N0\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$E_b/N_0$$\end{document} until the BER of 1e?6.

The hybrid wireless energy harvesting (EH) protocol is applied for each terminal, which can switch to either existing time-switching (TS) protocol or power-splitting (PS) protocol. Based on the hybrid wireless EH protocol, a general system model is developed, which can switch to either only uplink data transmission or only downlink data transmission. As a result, a general analytical framework is formulated. Then, closed-form lower bound expressions on SE for each terminal are obtained on the uplink and downlink, respectively. According to these expressions, the joint SE of uplink and downlink maximization problem is designed with some practical constraints. As the designed optimization problem is non-linear and non-convex, it is hard to solve directly. To provide a solution, an iteration algorithm is proposed by utilizing one-dimensional search technique and successive approximation method based on geometric program. Additionally, the convergence and complexity of the proposed algorithm are discussed as well. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed algorithm is analyzed by simulations. Numerical results manifest that the proposed algorithm can provide good SE by optimizing relevant system parameters, and the system model can help to discuss the TS, PS or hybrid protocol for only uplink data transmission, only downlink data transmission or joint data transmission of uplink and downlink in the considered system.

With the introduction of enriched multimedia user-generated content, the challenges are even more aggravated. In this vein, uplink caching is considered as one of the promising solutions to effectively cater the user’s demands. One of the main challenges for uplink caching is duplication elimination. In this paper, a cache enabled uplink transmission with a duplication elimination scheme is proposed. The proposed scheme matches the mobile’s data to be uploaded with the cached contents both at mobile station (MS) and small base station (SBS). In contrast to existing techniques, the proposed scheme broadcasts the cached contents at an SBS to all the MSs under its footprint. This provides MS an opportunity to exploit the list of cached contents before uploading its data. A MS only uploads its data if it is not already cached at an SBS. This significantly reduces duplication before the real transmission takes place. Furthermore, the proposed technique reduces energy consumption in addition to improving spectral efficiency and network throughput. Besides, a higher caching hit ratio and lower caching miss ratio are also observed as compared to other schemes. The simulation results reveal that the proposed scheme saves 97% energy for SBS, whereas 96–100% energy is saved for MS on average.

Several modulation techniques including envelop delta-sigma modulation and envelope pulse width modulation have been applied. The out-of-band quantization noise associated with these modulations may be rejected by a high-quality factor output filter, yet the in-band quantization noise needs to be further suppressed to meet the requirement of the emission mask. The proposed channelized active noise elimination technique can offer additional quantization noise suppression through software control without involving a passive filter. The essential concept is based on combining the outputs of multiple channels of Pas that have digitally controlled delays to form a FIR filter in analogue domain. A two-channel and a four-channel GaN power amplifiers are built to demonstrate this noise suppression concept and power combiners based on T-junction with quarter wavelength transmission line are proposed to retain the high power efficiency of the transmitters.

In addition, the measurement of node importance in satellite networks plays a crucial role in understanding the structure and function of the network. The classical supra-adjacency matrix (SAM) temporal model identifies the key nodes in the temporal network to some extent, which ignores the differences of inter-layer connectivity relationships leading to the inability to reflect the dynamic variations of satellite nodes. Therefore, the evaluation method based on time slot correlation is proposed to measure the importance of satellite nodes in this paper. Firstly, the correlation coefficient of time slot nodes is defined to measure the coupling relationship of adjacent time slots. Secondly, the dynamic supra-adjacency matrix (DSAM) temporal network model is proposed considering the correlation between adjacent time slots and the characteristics of link time. Finally, the node importance ranking results in each time slot and a global perspective are obtained by utilizing the eigenvector centrality. Experimental simulations of the Iridium and Orbcomm constellations demonstrate that the DSAM method has a relatively accurate recognition rate and high stability.

Conventional phased array (PA) radars with fixed carrier frequencies are well-known for electronically steering their beam with high directivity. However, the resulting beampattern is angle-dependent but range-independent. Recently, a new electronic beam steering concept, referred to as frequency diverse array (FDA) radar, has attracted increasing attention due to its unique range-angle dependent beampattern. More importantly, the FDA radar employs a small frequency increment across the array elements to achieve beam steering as a function of angle, range, and time. In this paper, we review the development of the FDA radar since its inception in 2006. Since the frequency offset attaches great importance in FDAs to determine the beampattern shape, initially much of the research and development were focused on designing the optimal frequency offsets for improved beampattern synthesis. Specifically, we analyze characteristics of the FDA beampattern synthesis using various frequency offsets. In addition to analyzing the FDA beampattern characteristics, this study also focuses on the neglected propagation process of the transmitted signals in the early FDA literature, and discuss the time-variant perspective of FDA beampatterns. Furthermore, FDA can also play a significant role in wireless communications, owing to its potential advantages over the conventional PAs. Therefore, we highlight its potential applications in wireless communication systems. Numerical simulations are implemented to illustrate the FDA beampattern characteristics with various frequency offset functions.

Data is sent by frames, and each frame is headed by a single reference signal and followed by some information-bearing signals. Modulation is performed through permutations of a reference signal according to the mapped data. At the receiver, each incoming information-bearing signal undergoes all inverse permutation possibilities to perform a correlation with the delayed and stored version of the received reference signal. To decode the information bits, the detector selects the highest correlator outputs. The proposed scheme named single reference–permutation index–differential chaos shift keying is an enhanced version of PI-DCSK, and uses a single reference signal for multiple information-bearing ones. Hence, the energy requirement is saved by almost a half. The bit error performance is studied using the baseband system model and analytically tested using Gaussian approximation method. Results show the BER performance outperforms other standard and recently developed differentially coherent chaos systems, including Permutation Index–DCSK by an average of 2.25?dB. Moreover, the analytical form which is developed to predict the bit error rate (BER) is validated by simulation. Results demonstrate the performance in AWGN is closely matching with the simulation results, particularly at high SNR.
