Optical wireless is increasingly becoming an attractive option for multi-gigabit-per-second (multi-Gb/s) short range (up to 2 km) links where laying optical fiber is too expensive or impractical. For such links, a tracking scheme is essential to maintain proper pointing of the transceivers at each other to establish error-free communication. For the transmitter, the tracking ensures that a narr...

Doppler radar can be implemented for sensing physiological parameters wirelessly at a distance. Detecting respiration rate, an important human body parameter, is essential in a range of applications like emergency and military healthcare environments, and Doppler radar records actual chest motion. One challenge in using Doppler radar is being able to monitor several patients simultaneously and ...

A MIMO radar system is conveniently modeled via random matrices, and its optimal design strongly relies on spectral properties of the matrix exploited to build the model itself. We offer a way to model a High Resolution Radar (HRR) detection in the MIMO case, based on recent results on the asymptotic spectral analysis of random Vandermonde matrices with entries lying on the unit circle. Achieva...

Cognitive Radar is a recently proposed system concept, one of whose most important characteristics is the closed-loop operation. The feedback structure from the receiver to the transmitter enables the optimization of transmission waveforms based on the latest knowledge about targets and environments. In this paper, we propose an improved waveform design method for target recognition in cognitiv...

The performance of IEEE 802.11 with different network densities and protocol configurations is of interest, particularly in distributed coordination function (DCF) mode. A mathematical model for single hop network IEEE 802.11 protocol was introduced by Bianchi [1] to analytically derive the saturated throughput. The ultimate goal is to enhance the capacity of Ad-hoc network closer to the analyt...

This paper proposes a novel and simple MAC protocol called beforehand bandwidth reservation (BBR) to reserve the empty slots in the next big-slot cycle for OBS ring networks by control channel. The node architecture uses one tunable transmitter and one fixed receiver to add or drop data channels and a fixed transmitter/receiver pair to transmit and receive on the control channel. Each node poss...

The demand for Wireless Network hardware has experienced phenomenal growth during the past several years. The most commonly known component to enhance the performance of Wireless network is Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system. It exploits the radio channel by means of multi-path propagation; where the transmitted information bounces off walls, doors and other objects before reaching th...

The global telecommunications network has seen massive expansion over the last few years. Optical communication through clear atmosphere provides a means for high data rate communication over relatively short distances (e.g. 2km). However, the turbulence in the atmosphere leads to fades of varying depths, some of which may lead to heavy loss of data. Free space optical communication system usin...

Today’s wireless cellular systems are limited by inter-cell interference. Coordinated multi-point transmission and reception (CoMP) is a promising approach to cope with this problem. Here, multiple base stations act as a distributed antenna system, exchanging coordination information and potentially user data via backhaul in order to reduce this interference, increasing spectral efficiency and ...

Space-Surface Bistatic Synthetic Aperture Radar (SS-BSAR) is a sub-class of BSAR, where the transmitter can be any satellite and the receiver could be mounted on an aircraft, a land vehicle or stationary on the ground. If stationary receiver is applied, the synthetic aperture is fully attributed to the moving of satellite. Such a kind of geometry is suited for ground deformation monitoring. Our...
