scholarly journals Adaptive Energy Efficiency Based Power Allocation for MIMO Radar Network

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar is used extensively due to its application of simultaneous transmission and reception of multiple signals through multiple antennas or channels. MIMO radar receives enormous attention in communication technologies due to its better target detection, higher resolution and improved accurate target parameter estimation. The MIMO radar has several antennas for transmitting the information and also the reflected signals from the target is received by the multiple antennas and it mainly used in military and civilian fields. But sometimes the performance of the MIMO radars is degraded due to its limited power. So the optimum power allocation is required in the communication systems of MIMO radar to improve its performance. In this paper, an Energy Efficiency based Power Allocation (EEPA) is used to allocate the power to a user of the clusters and also across the clusters. Here, the MIMO radars are clustered by using a naive bayes classifier. Subsequently, an efficient target detection is achieved by using Generalized Likelihood Ratio Test (GLRT) and then the clusters are divided into primary and distributive clusters based on the distance from the target. Here, the proposed methodology is named as EEPA-GLRT and the implementation of this MIMO radar system with an effective power allocation is done by Labview. The performance of the EEPA-GLRT methodology is analyzed in terms of the power consumption of various clusters. The performance of the EEPA-GLRT methodology is compared with Generalized Nash Game (GNG) method and it shows the power consumption of EEPA-GLRT is 0.0549 for cluster 1 of scenario 1, which is less when compared to the GNG method.

The normal operations of radar systems and communication systems under the condition of spectrum coexistence are facing a huge challenge. This paper uses game theory to study power allocation problems between multistatic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radars and downlink communication. In the case of spectrum coexistence, radars, base station (BS) and multi-user (MU) have the working state of receiving and transmitting signals, which can cause unnecessary interferences to different systems. Therefore, when they work together, they should try to suppress mutual interferences. Firstly, the signal from BS is considered as interference when radar detects and tracks targets. A supermodular power allocation game (PAG) model is established and the existence and uniqueness of the Nash equilibrium (NE) in this game are proved. In addition, the power allocation problem from BS to MU is also analyzed, and two Stackelberg PAG models are constructed. It is proved that the NE of each game exists and is unique. Simultaneously, two Stackelberg power allocation iterative algorithms converge to the NEs. Finally, numerical results verify the convergence of the proposed PAG algorithms.

We study the energy efficiency (EE) optimization problem in non-orthogonal unicast and multicast transmission for massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with statistical channel state information of all receivers available at the transmitter. Firstly, we formulate the EE maximization problem. We reduce the number of variables to be solved and simplify this large-dimensional-matrix-valued problem into a real-vector-valued problem. Next, we lower the computational complexity significantly by replacing the objective with its deterministic equivalent to avoid the high-complex expectation operation. With guaranteed convergence, we propose an iterative algorithm on beam domain power allocation using the minorize maximize algorithm and Dinkelbach’s transform and derive the locally optimal power allocation strategy to achieve the optimal EE. Finally, we illustrate the significant EE performance gain of our EE maximization algorithm compared with the conventional approach through conducting numerical simulations.

In this paper, we consider a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)—non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system with reinforcement learning (RL). NOMA, which is a technique for increasing the spectrum efficiency, has been extensively studied in fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication systems. The application of MIMO to NOMA can result in an even higher spectral efficiency. Moreover, user pairing and power allocation problem are important techniques in NOMA. However, NOMA has a fundamental limitation of the high computational complexity due to rapidly changing radio channels. This limitation makes it difficult to utilize the characteristics of the channel and allocate radio resources efficiently. To reduce the computational complexity, we propose an RL-based joint user pairing and power allocation scheme. By applying Q-learning, we are able to perform user pairing and power allocation simultaneously, which reduces the computational complexity. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves a sum rate similar to that achieved with the exhaustive search (ES).

The target detection of the passive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar that is comprised of multiple illuminators of opportunity and multiple receivers is investigated in this paper. In the passive MIMO radar, the transmitted signals of illuminators of opportunity are totally unknown, and the received signals are contaminated by the colored Gaussian noise with an unknown covariance matrix. The generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) is explored for the passive MIMO radar when the channel coefficients are also unknown, and the closed-form GLRT is derived. Compared with the GLRT with unknown transmitted signals and channel coefficients but a known covariance matrix, the proposed method is applicable for a more practical case whenthe covariance matrix of colored noise is unknown, although it has higher computational complexity. Moreover, the proposed GLRT can achieve similar performance as the GLRT with the known covariance matrix when the number of training samples is large enough. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed GLRT is verified by several numerical examples.

Millimeter Wave (mmWave) Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) has been a promising candidate for the current and next generation of cellular networks. The hybrid analogue/digital precoding will be a crucial ingredient in the mmWave cellular systems to reduce the number of Radio Frequency (RF) chains along with the corresponding energy and power consumption of the systems. In this paper, we aim to improve the energy efficiency of mmWave Massive MIMO by using a combination of high dimension analogue precoder and low dimension digital precoder. The spectral efficiency and the corresponding transmitted and consumed power of the mmWave Massive MIMO is formulated by taking all the consumed power from the transmitting side to receiving end into account. We propose the Power Controlled Energy Maximization (PCEM) algorithm in this paper, and the proposed algorithm works by controlling the transmission power to balance the improved radiated energy efficiency and the increased power consumption for a given number of transceiver chains. The simulation and analytical results show that the proposed algorithm performs better than the reference algorithms by maximizing the overall energy efficiency of the system without much complexity.

This paper focuses on the target detection in low-grazing angle using a hybrid multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems in compound-Gaussian clutter, where the multipath effects are very abundant. The performance of detection can be improved via utilizing the multipath echoes. First, the reflection coefficient considering the curved earth effect is derived. Then, the general signal model for MIMO radar is introduced in low-grazing angle; also, the generalized likelihood test (GLRT) and generalized likelihood ratio test-linear quadratic (GLRT-LQ) are derived with known covariance matrix. Via the numerical examples, it is shown that the derived GLRT-LQ detector outperforms the GLRT detector in low-grazing angle, and both performances can be enhanced markedly when the multipath effects are considered.

Many communication systems are based on the Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) scheme, and Orthogonal Space–time Block Transmit diversity Coding (OSTBC), combined with Maximal Ratio Receive Combining (MRRC), to create an optimal diversity system. A system with optimal diversity fixes and optimizes the channel’s effects under multi-path and Rayleigh fading with maximum energy efficiency; however, the challenge does not end with dealing with the channel destruction of the multi-path impacts. Susceptibility to interference is a significant vulnerability in future wireless mobile networks. The 5th Generation New Radio (5G-NR) technologies bring hundreds of small cells and pieces of User Equipment (UE) per indoor or outdoor local area scenario under a specific Long Term Evolution (LTE)-based station (e-NodeB), or under 5G-NR base-station (g-NodeB). It is necessary to study issues that deal with many interference signals, and smart jammers from advanced communication equipment cause deterioration in the links between the UE, the small cells, and the NodeB. In this paper, we study and present the significant impact and performances of 2×2 Alamouti Phase-Shift Keying (PSK) modulation techniques in the presence of an interferer and a smart jammer. The destructive effects affecting the MIMO array and the advanced diversity technique without closed-loop MIMO are analyzed. The performance is evaluated in terms of Bit Error Rate (BER) vs. Signal to Interference Ratio (SIR). In addition, we proved the impairment of the orthogonal spectrum assumption mathematically.

Ideal transmitting and receiving (Tx/Rx) array response is always desirable in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar. In practice, nevertheless, Tx/Rx arrays may be susceptible to unknown gain-phase errors (GPE) and yield seriously decreased positioning accuracy. This paper focuses on the direction-of-departure (DOD) and direction-of-arrival (DOA) problem in bistatic MIMO radar with unknown gain-phase errors (GPE). A novel parallel factor (PARAFAC) estimator is proposed. The factor matrices containing DOD and DOA are firstly obtained via PARAFAC decomposition. One DOD-DOA pair estimation is then accomplished from the spectrum searching. Thereafter, the remainder DOD and DOA are achieved by the least squares technique with the previous estimated angle pair. The proposed estimator is analyzed in detail. It only requires one instrumental Tx/Rx sensor, and it outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithms. Numerical simulations verify the theoretical advantages.
