We consider the problem of spatial signal design for multipath-assisted mmWave positioning under limited prior knowledge on the users location and clock bias. We propose an optimal robust design and a codebook-based heuristic design with optimized beam power allocation by exploiting the low-dimensional precoder structure under perfect prior knowledge. Through numerical results, we characterize different position-error-bound (PEB) regimes with respect to clock bias uncertainty and show that the proposed low-complexity codebook-based designs outperform the conventional directional beam codebook and achieve near-optimal PEB performance for both analog and digital architectures.

The use of millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum for commercial wireless communications is expected to offer data rates in the order of Gigabits-per-second, thus able to support future applications such as Vehicle-to-Vehicle or Vehicle-to-Infrastructure communication. However, especially in urban settings, mmWave signal propagation is sensitive to blockage by surrounding objects, resulting in significant signal attenuation. One approach to mitigate the effect of attenuation is through multi-hop communication with the help of relays. Leveraging the unique characteristics of the mmWave medium, we consider a single-source/destination $2$-hop system, where a cluster of spatially distributed and reconfigurable relays is used to cooperatively amplify-and-forward the source signal to the destination. Our system evolves in time slots, during which not only are optimal beamforming weights centrally determined, but also future relay positions for the subsequent time slot are optimally selected, jointly maximizing the expected signal-to-interference+noise ratio at the destination. Optimal predictive relay positioning is achieved by formulating a 2-stage stochastic programming problem, which is efficiently approximated via a conditional sample-average-approximation surrogate, and solved in a purely distributed fashion across relays. The efficacy of the proposed near-optimal positioning policy is corroborated by comparison against a randomized relay positioning policy, clearly confirming its superiority.
The integration of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) into the terrestrial cellular networks is envisioned as one key technology for next-generation wireless communications. In this work, we consider the physical layer security of the communications lin ks in the millimeter-wave (mmWave) spectrum which are maintained by UAVs functioning as base stations (BS). In particular, we propose a new precoding strategy which incorporates the channel state information (CSI) of the eavesdropper (Eve) compromising link security. We show that our proposed precoder strategy eliminates any need for artificial noise (AN) transmission in underloaded scenarios (fewer users than number of antennas). In addition, we demonstrate that our nonlinear precoding scheme provides promising secrecy-rate performance even for overloaded scenarios at the expense of transmitting low-power AN.
This paper presents a feasibility study for a novel positioning-communication integrated signal called Multi-Scale Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (MS-NOMA) for 5G positioning. One of the main differences between the MS-NOMA and the traditional positi oning signal is MS-NOMA supports configurable powers for different positioning users (P-Users) to obtain better ranging accuracy and signal coverage. Our major contributions are: Firstly, we present the MS-NOMA signal and analyze the Bit Error Rate (BER) and ranging accuracy by deriving their simple expressions. The results show the interaction between the communication and positioning signals is rather limited, and it is feasible to use the MS-NOMA signal to achieve high positioning accuracy. Secondly, for an optimal positioning accuracy and signal coverage, we model the power allocation problem for MS-NOMA signal as a convex optimization problem by satisfying the QoS (Quality of Services) requirement and other constraints. Then, we propose a novel Positioning-Communication Joint Power Allocation (PCJPA) algorithm which allocates the powers of all P-Users iteratively. The theoretical and numerical results show our proposed MS-NOMA signal has great improvements of ranging/positioning accuracy than traditional PRS (Positioning Reference Signal) in 5G, and improves the coverage dramatically which means more P-Users could locate their positions without suffering the near-far effect.
The concept of reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) has been proposed to change the propagation of electromagnetic waves, e.g., reflection, diffraction, and refraction. To accomplish this goal, the phase values of the discrete RIS units need to b e optimized. In this paper, we consider RIS-aided millimeter-wave (mmWave) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems for both accurate positioning and high data-rate transmission. We propose an adaptive phase shifter design based on hierarchical codebooks and feedback from the mobile station (MS). The benefit of the scheme lies in that the RIS does not require deployment of any active sensors and baseband processing units. During the update process of phase shifters, the combining vector at the MS is also sequentially refined. Simulation results show the performance improvement of the proposed algorithm over the random design scheme, in terms of both positioning accuracy and data rate. Moreover, the performance converges to exhaustive search scheme even in the low signal-to-noise ratio regime.
The requirement of high data-rate in the fifth generation wireless systems (5G) calls for the ultimate utilization of the wide bandwidth in the mmWave frequency band. Researchers seeking to compensate for mmWaves high path loss and to achieve both ga in and directivity have proposed that mmWave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems make use of beamforming systems. Hybrid beamforming in mmWave demonstrates promising performance in achieving high gain and directivity by using phase shifters at the analog processing block. What remains a problem, however, is the actual implementation of mmWave beamforming systems; to fabricate such a system is costly and complex. With the aim of reducing such cost and complexity, this article presents actual prototypes of the lens antenna as an effective device to be used in the future 5G mmWave hybrid beamforming systems. Using a lens as a passive phase shifter enables beamforming without the heavy network of active phase shifters, while gain and directivity are achieved by the energy-focusing property of the lens. Proposed in this article are two types of lens antennas, one for static and the other for mobile usage. Their performance is evaluated using measurements and simulation data along with link-level analysis via a software defined radio (SDR) platform. Results show the promising potential of the lens antenna for its high gain and directivity, and its improved beam-switching feasibility compared to when a lens is not used. System-level evaluations reveal the significant throughput enhancement in both real indoor and outdoor environments. Moreover, the lens antennas design issues are also discussed by evaluating different lens sizes.
