Network MIMO with Partial Cooperation between Radar and Cellular Systems
To meet the growing spectrum demands, future cellular systems are expected to
share the spectrum of other services such as radar. In this paper, we consider
a network multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) with partial cooperation model
where radar stations cooperate with cellular base stations (BS)s to deliver
messages to intended mobile users. So the radar stations act as BSs in the
cellular system. However, due to the high power transmitted by radar stations
for detection of far targets, the cellular receivers could burnout when
receiving these high radar powers. Therefore, we propose a new projection
method called small singular values space projection (SSVSP) to mitigate these
harmful high power and enable radar stations to collaborate with cellular base
stations. In addition, we formulate the problem into a MIMO interference
channel with general constraints (MIMO-IFC-GC). Finally, we provide a solution
to minimize the weighted sum mean square error minimization problem (WSMMSE)
with enforcing power constraints on both radar and cellular stations.Comment: (c) 2015 IEEE. Personal use of this material is permitted. Permission

Microwave spectroscopy of the Mars atmosphere
A study of the use of millimeter-wavelength spectral transitions to investigate the atmosphere of Mars is presented. In the model experiments investigated it is assumed that a spectrometer in the frequency range from 100 to 260 GHz looks into a modest-sized telescope of from 30 to 50 cm aperture from a near-Mars orbit. The molecules H2O, CO, O2, O3, and H2O2 all have intense spectral lines in the Mars atmosphere in this frequency range and in addition are all very important in understanding the water cycle, the photochemistry, and the circularization in that atmosphere. It is shown that the altitude and the zonal distribution of H2O can be mapped even in atmospheric columns as dry as 0.25 precipital μm. Ozone can be mapped over the entire planet, independent of solar-lighting conditions, dust loading, or clouds in the atmosphere, because millimeter waves are insensitive to any particles that can be suspended in the Mars atmosphere. Because the signal-receiving techniques use superheterodyne devices and narrow spectral lines, zonal and meridional winds can be measured at altitudes above 10 km with a precision approaching approximately 3 m/s by the use of Doppler shifts. Temperature–pressure profiles can be measured to altitudes of 100 km by the use of CO lines in the limb-sounding mode

Overlapped-MIMO Radar Waveform Design for Coexistence With Communication Systems
This paper explores an overlapped-multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
antenna architecture and a spectrum sharing algorithm via null space projection
(NSP) for radar-communications coexistence. In the overlapped-MIMO
architecture, the transmit array of a collocated MIMO radar is partitioned into
a number of subarrays that are allowed to overlap. Each of the antenna elements
in these subarrays have signals orthogonal to each other and to the elements of
the other subarrays. The proposed architecture not only improves sidelobe
suppression to reduce interference to communications system, but also enjoys
the advantages of MIMO radar without sacrificing the main desirable
characteristics. The radar-centric spectrum sharing algorithm then projects the
radar signal onto the null space of the communications system's interference
channel, which helps to avoid interference from the radar. Numerical results
are presented which show the performance of the proposed waveform design
algorithm in terms of overall beampattern and sidelobe levels of the radar
waveform and finally shows a comparison of the proposed system with existing
collocated MIMO radar architectures.Comment: accepted at IEEE WCN
An Optimal Application-Aware Resource Block Scheduling in LTE
In this paper, we introduce an approach for application-aware resource block
scheduling of elastic and inelastic adaptive real-time traffic in fourth
generation Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems. The users are assigned to
resource blocks. A transmission may use multiple resource blocks scheduled over
frequency and time. In our model, we use logarithmic and sigmoidal-like utility
functions to represent the users applications running on different user
equipments (UE)s. We present an optimal problem with utility proportional
fairness policy, where the fairness among users is in utility percentage (i.e
user satisfaction with the service) of the corresponding applications. Our
objective is to allocate the resources to the users with priority given to the
adaptive real-time application users. In addition, a minimum resource
allocation for users with elastic and inelastic traffic should be guaranteed.
Every user subscribing for the mobile service should have a minimum
quality-of-service (QoS) with a priority criterion. We prove that our
scheduling policy exists and achieves the maximum. Therefore the optimal
solution is tractable. We present a centralized scheduling algorithm to
allocate evolved NodeB (eNodeB) resources optimally with a priority criterion.
Finally, we present simulation results for the performance of our scheduling
algorithm and compare our results with conventional proportional fairness
approaches. The results show that the user satisfaction is higher with our
proposed method.Comment: 5 page
Fundamental Limits of Caching with Secure Delivery
Caching is emerging as a vital tool for alleviating the severe capacity
crunch in modern content-centric wireless networks. The main idea behind
caching is to store parts of popular content in end-users' memory and leverage
the locally stored content to reduce peak data rates. By jointly designing
content placement and delivery mechanisms, recent works have shown order-wise
reduction in transmission rates in contrast to traditional methods. In this
work, we consider the secure caching problem with the additional goal of
minimizing information leakage to an external wiretapper. The fundamental cache
memory vs. transmission rate trade-off for the secure caching problem is
characterized. Rather surprisingly, these results show that security can be
introduced at a negligible cost, particularly for large number of files and
users. It is also shown that the rate achieved by the proposed caching scheme
with secure delivery is within a constant multiplicative factor from the
information-theoretic optimal rate for almost all parameter values of practical
interest
