A Clustering-Anonymity Approach for Trajectory Data Publishing Considering both Distance and Direction
Trajectory data contains rich spatio-temporal information of moving objects. Directly publishing it for mining and analysis will result in severe privacy disclosure problems. Most existing clustering-anonymity methods cluster trajectories according to either distance- or direction-based similarities, leading to a high information loss. To bridge this gap, in this paper, we present a clustering-anonymity approach considering both these two types of similarities. As trajectories may not be synchronized, we first design a trajectory synchronization algorithm to synchronize them. Then, two similarity metrics between trajectories are quantitatively defined, followed by a comprehensive one. Furthermore, a clustering-anonymity algorithm for trajectory data publishing with privacy-preserving is proposed. It groups trajectories into clusters according to the comprehensive similarity metric. These clusters are finally anonymized. Experimental results show that our algorithm is effective in preserving privacy with low information loss
Green Beamforming Design for Integrated Sensing and Communication Systems: A Practical Approach Using Beam-Matching Error Metrics
In this paper, we propose a green beamforming design for the integrated
sensing and communication (ISAC) system, using beam-matching error to assess
radar performance. The beam-matching error metric, which considers the mean
square error between the desired and designed beam patterns, provides a more
practical evaluation approach. To tackle the non-convex challenge inherent in
beamforming design, we apply semidefinite relaxation (SDR) to address the
rank-one relaxation issue, followed by the iterative rank minimization
algorithm (IRM) for rank-one recovery. The simulation results showcase the
effectiveness of our proposed optimal beamforming design, emphasizing the
exceptional performance of the radar component in sensing tasks
Robust NOMA-assisted OTFS-ISAC Network Design with 3D Motion Prediction Topology
This paper proposes a novel non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-assisted
orthogonal time-frequency space (OTFS)-integrated sensing and communication
(ISAC) network, which uses unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as air base stations
to support multiple users. By employing ISAC, the UAV extracts position and
velocity information from the user's echo signals, and non-orthogonal power
allocation is conducted to achieve a superior achievable rate. A 3D motion
prediction topology is used to guide the NOMA transmission for multiple users,
and a robust power allocation solution is proposed under perfect and imperfect
channel estimation for Maxi-min Fairness (MMF) and Maximum sum-Rate (SR)
problems. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed
NOMA-assisted OTFS-ISAC system over other systems in terms of achievable rate
under both perfect and imperfect channel conditions with the aid of 3D motion
prediction topology
Orthogonal-Time-Frequency-Space Signal Design for Integrated Data and Energy Transfer: Benefits from Doppler Offsets
Integrated data and energy transfer (IDET) is an advanced technology for enabling energy sustainability for massively deployed low-power electronic consumption components. However, the existing work of IDET using the orthogonal-frequency-division-multiplexing (OFDM) waveforms is designed for static scenarios, which would be severely affected by the destructive Doppler offset in high-mobility scenarios. Therefore, we proposed an IDET system based on orthogonal-time-frequency-space (OTFS) waveforms with the imperfect channel assumption, which is capable of counteracting the Doppler offset in high-mobility scenarios. At the transmitter, the OTFS-IDET system superimposes the random data signals and deterministic energy signals in the delay-Doppler (DD) domain with optimally designed amplitudes. The receiver optimally splits the received signal in the power domain for achieving the best IDET performance. After formulating a non-convex optimisation problem, it is transformed into a geometric programming (GP) problem through inequality relaxations to obtain the optimal solution. The simulation demonstrates that a higher amount of energy can be harvested when employing our proposed OTFS-IDET waveforms than the conventional OFDM-IDET ones in high mobility scenarios
