Structured Compressed Sensing: From Theory to Applications
Compressed sensing (CS) is an emerging field that has attracted considerable
research interest over the past few years. Previous review articles in CS limit
their scope to standard discrete-to-discrete measurement architectures using
matrices of randomized nature and signal models based on standard sparsity. In
recent years, CS has worked its way into several new application areas. This,
in turn, necessitates a fresh look on many of the basics of CS. The random
matrix measurement operator must be replaced by more structured sensing
architectures that correspond to the characteristics of feasible acquisition
hardware. The standard sparsity prior has to be extended to include a much
richer class of signals and to encode broader data models, including
continuous-time signals. In our overview, the theme is exploiting signal and
measurement structure in compressive sensing. The prime focus is bridging
theory and practice; that is, to pinpoint the potential of structured CS
strategies to emerge from the math to the hardware. Our summary highlights new
directions as well as relations to more traditional CS, with the hope of
serving both as a review to practitioners wanting to join this emerging field,
and as a reference for researchers that attempts to put some of the existing
ideas in perspective of practical applications.Comment: To appear as an overview paper in IEEE Transactions on Signal

Cognitive Radio Systems
Cognitive radio is a hot research area for future wireless communications in the recent years. In order to increase the spectrum utilization, cognitive radio makes it possible for unlicensed users to access the spectrum unoccupied by licensed users. Cognitive radio let the equipments more intelligent to communicate with each other in a spectrum-aware manner and provide a new approach for the co-existence of multiple wireless systems. The goal of this book is to provide highlights of the current research topics in the field of cognitive radio systems. The book consists of 17 chapters, addressing various problems in cognitive radio systems

Performance analysis of energy detector over generalised wireless channels in cognitive radio
This thesis was submitted for the award of Doctor of Philosophy and was awarded by Brunel University London.This thesis extensively analyses the performance of an energy detector which is
widely employed to perform spectrum sensing in cognitive radio over different generalised
channel models. In this analysis, both the average probability of detection and
the average area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) are derived
using the probability density function of the received instantaneous signal to noise
ratio (SNR). The performance of energy detector over an ŋ --- µ fading, which is used
to model the Non-line-of-sight (NLoS) communication scenarios is provided. Then,
the behaviour of the energy detector over к --- µ shadowed fading channel, which is
a composite of generalized multipath/shadowing fading channel to model the lineof-
sight (LoS) communication medium is investigated. The analysis of the energy
detector over both ŋ --- µ and к --- µ shadowed fading channels are then extended to
include maximal ratio combining (MRC), square law combining (SLC) and square
law selection (SLS) with independent and non-identically (i:n:d) diversity branches.
To overcome the problem of mathematical intractability in analysing the energy
detector over i:n:d composite fading channels with MRC and selection combining
(SC), two different unified statistical properties models for the sum and the maximum
of mixture gamma (MG) variates are derived. The first model is limited by the value
of the shadowing severity index, which should be an integer number and has been
employed to study the performance of energy detector over composite α --- µ /gamma
fading channel. This channel is proposed to represent the non-linear prorogation
environment. On the other side, the second model is general and has been utilised to
analyse the behaviour of energy detector over composite ŋ --- µ /gamma fading channel.
Finally, a special filter-bank transform which is called slantlet packet transform
(SPT) is developed and used to estimate the uncertain noise power. Moreover, signal
denoising based on hybrid slantlet transform (HST) is employed to reduce the noise
impact on the performance of energy detector. The combined SPT-HST approach
improves the detection capability of energy detector with 97% and reduces the total
computational complexity by nearly 19% in comparison with previously implemented
work using filter-bank transforms. The aforementioned percentages are measured at
specific SNR, number of selected samples and levels of signal decompositionMartyrs Foundatio
Signal fingerprinting and machine learning framework for UAV detection and identification.
Advancement in technology has led to creative and innovative inventions. One such invention includes unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). UAVs (also known as drones) are now an intrinsic part of our society because their application is becoming ubiquitous in every industry ranging from transportation and logistics to environmental monitoring among others. With the numerous benign applications of UAVs, their emergence has added a new dimension to privacy and security issues. There are little or no strict regulations on the people that can purchase or own a UAV. For this reason, nefarious actors can take advantage of these aircraft to intrude into restricted or private areas. A UAV detection and identification system is one of the ways of detecting and identifying the presence of a UAV in an area. UAV detection and identification systems employ different sensing techniques such as radio frequency (RF) signals, video, sounds, and thermal imaging for detecting an intruding UAV. Because of the passive nature (stealth) of RF sensing techniques, the ability to exploit RF sensing for identification of UAV flight mode (i.e., flying, hovering, videoing, etc.), and the capability to detect a UAV at beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) or marginal line-of-sight makes RF sensing techniques promising for UAV detection and identification. More so, there is constant communication between a UAV and its ground station (i.e., flight controller). The RF signals emitting from a UAV or UAV flight controller can be exploited for UAV detection and identification. Hence, in this work, an RF-based UAV detection and identification system is proposed and investigated. In RF signal fingerprinting research, the transient and steady state of the RF signals can be used to extract a unique signature. The first part of this work is to use two different wavelet analytic transforms (i.e., continuous wavelet transform and wavelet scattering transform) to investigate and analyze the characteristics or impacts of using either state for UAV detection and identification. Coefficient-based and image-based signatures are proposed for each of the wavelet analysis transforms to detect and identify a UAV. One of the challenges of using RF sensing is that a UAV\u27s communication links operate at the industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band. Several devices such as Bluetooth and WiFi operate at the ISM band as well, so discriminating UAVs from other ISM devices is not a trivial task. A semi-supervised anomaly detection approach is explored and proposed in this research to differentiate UAVs from Bluetooth and WiFi devices. Both time-frequency analytical approaches and unsupervised deep neural network techniques (i.e., denoising autoencoder) are used differently for feature extraction. Finally, a hierarchical classification framework for UAV identification is proposed for the identification of the type of unmanned aerial system signal (UAV or UAV controller signal), the UAV model, and the operational mode of the UAV. This is a shift from a flat classification approach. The hierarchical learning approach provides a level-by-level classification that can be useful for identifying an intruding UAV. The proposed frameworks described here can be extended to the detection of rogue RF devices in an environment

Advanced Techniques for High-Throughput Cellular Communications
The next generation wireless communication systems require ubiquitous high-throughput mobile connectivity under a range of challenging network settings (urban versus rural, high device density, mobility, etc). To improve the performance of the system, the physical layer design is of great importance. The previous research on improving the physical layer properties includes: a) highly directional transmissions that can enhance the throughput and spatial reuse; b) enhanced MIMO that can eliminate
contention, enabling linear increase of capacity with number of antennas; c) mmWave technologies which operate on GHz bandwidth to over substantially higher throughput; d) better cooperative spectrum sharing with cognitive radios; e) better multiple access method which can mitigate multiuser interference and allow more multi-users.
This dissertation addresses several techniques in the physical layer design of the next generation wireless communication systems. In chapter two, an orthogonal frequency division with code division multiple access (OFDM-CDMA) systems is proposed and a polyphase code is used to improve multiple access performance and make the OFDM signal satisfy the peak to average ratio (PAPR) constraint. Chapter three studies the I/Q imbalance for direct down converter. For wideband transmitter and receiver that use direct conversion for I/Q sampling, the I/Q imbalance becomes a critical issue. With higher I/Q imbalance, there will be higher degradation in quadrature amplitude modulation, which degrades the throughput tremendously. Chapter four investigate a problem of spectrum sharing for cognitive wideband communication. An energy-efficient sub-Nyquist sampling algorithm is developed for optimal sampling and spectrum sensing. In chapter ve, we study the channel estimation of millimeter wave full-dimensional MIMO communication. The problem is formulated as an atomic-norm minimization problem and algorithms are derived for the channel estimation in different situations.
In this thesis, mathematical optimization is applied as the main approach to analyze and solve the problems in the physical layer of wireless communication so that the high-throughput is achieved. The algorithms are derived along with the theoretical analysis, which are validated with numerical results
