Abstract The development of the Internet of Things and communication systems of the fifth generation leads to the need to place many antenna elements in a limited volume. Therefore, wearable electronics antennas are often located directly on the device body. Such surfaces can often be thought of as a conducting cylinder covered with a dielectric material. The task of analysing the radiation patterns of antennas located on such surfaces becomes urgent. This paper shows a method for analysing antenna directivity diagrams using the Green’s functions method of cylindrical layered media. This method allows to obtain in an analytical form the expressions for the analysis of such structures, which makes it possible to reduce the cost of computer time in modelling. The presented results show what kind of distortions are introduced into the radiation pattern of antennas located on a cylinder compared to an antenna located on a flat surface.

In modern world, communication systems requires development of low cost, minimal weight, and low profile antennas which are capable of maintaining high performance over wide range of frequencies. Patch antenna is one such antenna which fulfills the demands of current communication systems. The widely used microstrip patch antennas are rectangular patch antennas. This paper presenting the application of binary coded Genetic Algorithm (BGA) which is applied to the rectangular patch microstrip antenna with uniform linear arrays. The fitness function of GA is maximum reduction in peak side lobe level of the radiation pattern of the antenna with maximum reduction in the side lobe level and also achieved the minimum possible null to null beam width, the resultant radiation patterns for both before GA and after GA of microstrip array are compared. The radiation patterns are presented for 20,50,100 number of elements. All the simulated results are obtained by using MATLAB software.

In this paper, we reveal a concept of low-profile Split Ring Resonator loaded metamaterial inspired antenna for Bluetooth/WiFi/WLAN/WiMAX communication systems. The antenna’s overall dimensions are 30 × 31 mm2 where two metamaterial unit cells are placed parallel to each other and a zig-zag feed line is connected with the SubMiniature version A connector. The defected ground technique was used to improve the antenna’s operational bandwidth. The computer simulation technology Microwave Studio was used to design and perform the numerical investigation, and the antenna was fabricated on FR-4 dielectric material. The Agilent N5227A VNA and anechoic chamber-based Satimo Star Lab were used to measure the antenna’s scattering parameters, voltage standing wave ratio, gain, efficiency and radiation patterns. The proposed metamaterial antenna had 200 MHz (2.40–2.60 GHz) and 390 MHz (3.40–3.79 GHz) overall bandwidth, which are similar to the simulated data. The measured results were applicable for Bluetooth (2.40–2.485 GHz), WiFi (2.4 GHz), WLAN (2.40–2.49 GHz and 3.65–3.69 GHz), and WiMAX (3.40–3.79 GHz) applications. The antenna’s average gain was 1.50 dBi, with the maximum and minimum gains of 2.25 dBi and 0.88 dBi, respectively, in addition to omnidirectional radiation patterns at operating bands.

AbstractAt present, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used in communication systems, and the fifth-generation wireless system (5G) has further promoted the vigorous development of them. The trajectory planning of UAV is an important factor that affects the timeliness and completion of missions, especially in scenarios such as emergency communications and post-disaster rescue. In this paper, we consider an emergency communication network where a UAV aims to achieve complete coverage of potential underlaying device-to-device (D2D) users. Trajectory planning issues are grouped into clustering and supplementary phases for optimization. Aiming at trajectory length and sum throughput, two trajectory planning algorithms based on K-means are proposed, respectively. In addition, in order to balance sum throughput with trajectory length, we present a joint evaluation index. Then relying on this index, a third trajectory optimization algorithm is further proposed. Simulation results show the validity of the proposed algorithms which have advantages over the well-known benchmark scheme in terms of trajectory length and sum throughput.

A new implementation of a beam-steering transmitarray is proposed based on the tiled array architecture. Each pixel of the transmitarray is manufactured as a standalone unit which can be hard-wired for specific transmission characteristics. A set of complementary units, providing reciprocal phase-shifts, can be assembled in a prescribed spatial phase-modulation pattern to perform beam steering and beam forming in a broad spatial range. A compact circuit model of the tiled unit cell is proposed and characterized with full-wave electromagnetic simulations. Waveguide measurements of a prototype unit cell have been carried out. A design example of a tiled 10 × 10-element 1-bit beam-steering transmitarray is presented and its performance benchmarked against the conventional single-panel, i.e., unibody, counterpart. Prototypes of the tiled and single-panel C-band transmitarrays have been fabricated and tested, demonstrating their close performance, good agreement with simulations and a weak effect of fabrication tolerances. The proposed transmitarray antenna configuration has great potential for fifth-generation (5G) communication systems.

The development of compact passive and active wearable circular patch metamaterials antennas for communication, Internet of Things (IoT) and biomedical systems is presented in this paper. Development of compact efficient low-cost wearable antennas are one of the most significant challenges in development of wearable communication, IoT and medical systems. Moreover, the advantage of an integrated compact low-cost feed network is attained by integrating the antenna feed network with the antennas on the same printed board. The efficiency of communication systems may be increased by using efficient passive and active antennas. The system dynamic range may be improved by connecting amplifiers to the printed antenna feed line. Design, design considerations, computed and measured results of wearable circular patch meta-materials antennas with high efficiency for 5G, IoT and biomedical applications are presented in this paper. The circular patch antennas electrical parameters on the human body were analyzed by using commercial full-wave software. The circular patch metamaterial wearable antennas are compact and flexible. The directivity and gain of the antennas with Circular Split-Ring Resonators (CSRR) is higher by 2.5dB to 3dB than the antennas without CSRR. The resonant frequency of the antennas without CSRR is higher by 6% to 9% than the antennas with CSRR. The computed and measured bandwidth of the stacked circular patch wearable antenna with CSRR for IoT and medical applications is around 12%, for S11 lover than −6dB. The gain of the circular patch wearable antenna with CSRR is around 8dBi.

UFMC (Universal Filtered Multi-Carrier) is a novel multi-carrier transmission technique that aims to replace the OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) modulation technique for fifth generation (5G) wireless communication systems. UFMC, being a generalization of OFDM and FBMC (Filter Bank Multicarrier), combines the advantages of these systems and at the same time avoids their main disadvantages. Using a Matlab simulation, this article presents an analysis of the robustness of UFMC against fading effects of multipath channels without using a CP (cyclic prefix). The behavior of the UFMC system is analyzed in terms of the PSD (Power Spectral Density), BER (Bit Error Rate) and MSE (Mean Square Error). The results show that UFMC reduces the out-band side lobes produced in the PSD of the processed signal. Also, it is shown that the pilot-assisted channel estimation method applied in OFDM systems can also be applied in UFMC systems.

The main characteristics of graphic information compression methods with losses and without losses (RLE, LZW, Huffman's method, DEFLATE, JBIG, JPEG, JPEG 2000, Lossless JPEG, fractal and Wawelet) are analyzed in the article. Effective transmission and storage of images in railway communication systems is an important task now. Because large images require large storage resources. This task has become very important in recent years, as the problems of information transmission by telecommunication channels of the transport infrastructure have become urgent. There is also a great need for video conferencing, where the task is to effectively compress video data - because the greater the amount of data, the greater the cost of transmitting information, respectively. Therefore, the use of image compression methods that reduce the file size is the solution to this task. The study highlights the advantages and disadvantages of compression methods. The comparative analysis the basic possibilities of compression methods of graphic information is carried out. The relevance lies in the efficient transfer and storage of graphical information, as big data requires large resources for storage. The practical significance lies in solving the problem of effectively reducing the data size by applying known compression methods.

Currently, an active deployment of radio access networks for mobile communication systems 5G New Radio is being observed. The architecture of networks is developing rapidly, where significant part of the functions is performed in a virtual cloud space of a personal computer. The computing power of a personal computer must be sufficient to execute network protocols in real time. To reduce the cost of deploying 5G NR networks, the configuration of each remote computer must be optimally matched to the scale of a particular network. Therefore, an urgent direction of research is the assessment of the execution time of the 5G NR protocol stack on various configurations of computers and the development of a mathematical model for data analysis, approximation of dependencies and making recommendations. In this paper, the authors provide an overview of the main 5G NR network architectures, as well as a description of the methods and tools that can be used to estimate the computational complexity of the 5G NR protocol stack. The final section provides an analysis of the computational complexity of the protocol stack, obtained during the experiments by colleagues in partner institutions.
