Optimization Methods for Designing Sequences with Low Autocorrelation Sidelobes
Unimodular sequences with low autocorrelations are desired in many
applications, especially in the area of radar and code-division multiple access
(CDMA). In this paper, we propose a new algorithm to design unimodular
sequences with low integrated sidelobe level (ISL), which is a widely used
measure of the goodness of a sequence's correlation property. The algorithm
falls into the general framework of majorization-minimization (MM) algorithms
and thus shares the monotonic property of such algorithms. In addition, the
algorithm can be implemented via fast Fourier transform (FFT) operations and
thus is computationally efficient. Furthermore, after some modifications the
algorithm can be adapted to incorporate spectral constraints, which makes the
design more flexible. Numerical experiments show that the proposed algorithms
outperform existing algorithms in terms of both the quality of designed
sequences and the computational complexity
Efficient complementary sequences-based architectures and their application to ranging measurements
Premio Extraordinario de Doctorado de la UAH en 2015En las últimas décadas, los sistemas de medición de distancias se han beneficiado de los avances en el área de las comunicaciones inalámbricas. En los sistemas basados en CDMA (Code-Division Multiple-Access), las propiedades de correlación de las secuencias empleadas juegan un papel fundamental en el desarrollo de dispositivos de medición de altas prestaciones. Debido a las sumas ideales de correlaciones aperiódicas, los conjuntos de secuencias complementarias, CSS (Complementary Sets of Sequences), son ampliamente utilizados en sistemas CDMA. En ellos, es deseable el uso de arquitecturas eficientes que permitan generar y correlar CSS del mayor número de secuencias y longitudes posibles. Por el término eficiente se hace referencia a aquellas arquitecturas que requieren menos operaciones por muestra de entrada que con una arquitectura directa. Esta tesis contribuye al desarrollo de arquitecturas eficientes de generación/correlación de CSS y derivadas, como son las secuencias LS (Loosely Synchronized) y GPC (Generalized Pairwise Complementary), que permitan aumentar el número de longitudes y/o de secuencias disponibles. Las contribuciones de la tesis pueden dividirse en dos bloques: En primer lugar, las arquitecturas eficientes de generación/correlación para CSS binarios, derivadas en trabajos previos, son generalizadas al alfabeto multinivel (secuencias con valores reales) mediante el uso de matrices de Hadamard multinivel. Este planteamiento tiene dos ventajas: por un lado el aumento del número de longitudes que pueden generarse/correlarse y la eliminación de las limitaciones de las arquitecturas previas en el número de secuencias en el conjunto. Por otro lado, bajo ciertas condiciones, los parámetros de las arquitecturas generalizadas pueden ajustarse para generar/correlar eficientemente CSS binarios de mayor número de longitudes que con las arquitecturas eficientes previas. En segundo lugar, las arquitecturas propuestas son usadas para el desarrollo de nuevos algoritmos de generación/correlación de secuencias derivadas de CSS que reducen el número de operaciones por muestra de entrada. Finalmente, se presenta la aplicación de las secuencias estudiadas en un nuevo sistema de posicionamiento local basado en Ultra-Wideband y en un sistema de posicionamiento local basado en ultrasonidos
Design of tch-type sequences for communications
This thesis deals with the design of a class of cyclic codes inspired by TCH codewords.
Since TCH codes are linked to finite fields the fundamental concepts and facts about abstract
algebra, namely group theory and number theory, constitute the first part of the thesis.
By exploring group geometric properties and identifying an equivalence between some operations
on codes and the symmetries of the dihedral group we were able to simplify the generation
of codewords thus saving on the necessary number of computations. Moreover, we
also presented an algebraic method to obtain binary generalized TCH codewords of length
N = 2k, k = 1,2, . . . , 16. By exploring Zech logarithm’s properties as well as a group theoretic
isomorphism we developed a method that is both faster and less complex than what was
proposed before. In addition, it is valid for all relevant cases relating the codeword length N
and not only those resulting from N = p

Beyond Transmitting Bits: Context, Semantics, and Task-Oriented Communications
Communication systems to date primarily aim at reliably communicating bit
sequences. Such an approach provides efficient engineering designs that are
agnostic to the meanings of the messages or to the goal that the message
exchange aims to achieve. Next generation systems, however, can be potentially
enriched by folding message semantics and goals of communication into their
design. Further, these systems can be made cognizant of the context in which
communication exchange takes place, providing avenues for novel design
insights. This tutorial summarizes the efforts to date, starting from its early
adaptations, semantic-aware and task-oriented communications, covering the
foundations, algorithms and potential implementations. The focus is on
approaches that utilize information theory to provide the foundations, as well
as the significant role of learning in semantics and task-aware communications.Comment: 28 pages, 14 figure
