    Abstract Localization of a radio frequency (RF) signal source has various use cases, ranging from search and rescue, identification and deactivation of jammers, and tracking hostile activity near borders or on the battlefield. The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for signal source search and localization (SSSL) can have significant advantages when compared to terrestrial-based approaches, due to the ease of capturing RF signals at higher altitudes and the autonomous 3D navigation capabilities of UAVs. However, the limited flight duration of UAVs due to battery constraints, as well as limited computational resources on board of lightweight UAVs introduce challenges for SSSL. In this paper, we study various SSSL techniques using a UAV with predefined waypoints. A linear least square (LLS) based localization scheme is considered with enhanced reference selection due to its relatively lower computational complexity. Five different LLS localization algorithms are proposed and studied for selecting anchor positions to be used for localization as the UAV navigates through an area. The performance of each algorithm is measured in two ways: 1) real-time positioning accuracy during the ongoing UAV flight, and 2) long-term accuracy measured at the end of the UAV flight. We compare and analyze the performance of the proposed approaches using computer simulations in terms of accuracy, UAV flight distance, and reliability.

    Abstract Channel rank and condition number of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) channels can be effective indicators of achievable rates with spatial multiplexing in mobile networks. In this paper, we use extensive ray tracing simulations to investigate channel rank, condition number, and signal coverage distribution for air-to-ground MIMO channels. We consider UAV-based user equipment (UE) at altitudes of 3 m, 30 m, 70 m, and 110 m from the ground. Moreover, we also consider their communication link with a cellular base station in urban and rural areas. In particular, Centennial Campus and Lake Wheeler Road Field Labs of NC State University are considered, and their geographical information extracted from the open street map (OSM) database is incorporated into ray tracing simulations. Our results characterize how the channel rank tends to reduce as a function of UAV altitude, while also providing insights into the effects of geography, building distribution, and threshold parameters on channel rank and condition number.

    Abstract In this study, we propose a low-cost and portable millimeter-wave software-defined radio (SDR) for wireless experimentation in the 60 GHz band. The proposed SDR uses Xilinx RFSoC2x2 and Sivers EVK06002 homodyne transceiver and provides a TCP/IP-based interface for companion computer (CC)-based baseband signal processing. To address the large difference between the processing speed of the CC and the sample rate of analog-to-digital converters, we propose a method, called waveform-triggered reception (WTR), where a hard-coded block detects a special trigger waveform to acquire a pre-determined number of IQ samples upon the detection. We also introduce a buffer mechanism to support discontinuous transmissions. By utilizing the WTR along with discontinuous transmissions, we conduct a beam sweeping experiment, where we evaluate 4096 beam pairs rapidly without compromising the flexibility of the CC-based processing. We also generate a dataset that allows one to calculate physical layer parameters such as signal-to-noise ratio and channel frequency response for a given pair of transmit and receive beam indices.

    Abstract Advancements in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology have led to their increased utilization in various commercial and military applications. One such application is signal source search and localization (SSSL) using UAVs, which offers significant benefits over traditional ground-based methods due to improved RF signal reception at higher altitudes and inherent autonomous 3D navigation capabilities. Nevertheless, practical considerations such as propagation models and antenna patterns are frequently neglected in simulation-based studies in the literature. In this work, we address these limitations by using a two-ray channel model and a dipole antenna pattern to develop a simulator that more closely represents real-world radio signal strength (RSS) observations at a UAV. We then examine and compare the performance of previously proposed linear least square (LLS) based localization techniques using UAVs for SSSL. Localization of radio frequency (RF) signal sources is assessed based on two main criteria: 1) achieving the highest possible accuracy and 2) localizing the target as quickly as possible with reasonable accuracy. Various mission types, such as those requiring precise localization like identifying hostile troops, and those demanding rapid localization like search and rescue operations during disasters, have been previously investigated. In this paper, the efficacy of the proposed localization approaches is examined based on these two main localization requirements through computer simulations.

    Abstract In this paper, we consider an indoor hybrid visible light communication (VLC) and radio frequency (RF) communication scenario with two-hop downlink transmission. The LED carries both data and energy in the first phase, VLC, to an energy harvester relay node, which then uses the harvested energy to re-transmit the decoded information to the RF user in the second phase, RF communication. The direct current (DC) bias and the assigned time duration for VLC transmission are taken into account as design parameters. The optimization problem is formulated to maximize the data rate with the assumption of decode-and-forward relaying for fixed receiver orientation. The non-convex optimization is split into two sub-problems and solved cyclically. It optimizes the data rate by solving two sub-problems: fixing time duration for VLC link to solve DC bias and fixing DC bias to solve time duration. The effect of random receiver orientation on the data rate is also studied, and closed-form expressions for both VLC and RF data rates are derived. The optimization is solved through an exhaustive search, and the results show that a higher data rate can be achieved by solving the joint problem of DC bias and time duration compared to solely optimizing the DC bias.

    Abstract The utilization of millimeter-wave (mmWave) bands in 5G networks poses new challenges to network planning. Vulnerability to blockages at mmWave bands can cause coverage holes (CHs) in the radio environment, leading to radio link failure when a user enters these CHs. Detection of the CHs carries critical importance so that necessary remedies can be introduced to improve coverage. In this letter, we propose a novel approach to identify the CHs in an unsupervised fashion using a state-of-the-art manifold learning technique: uniform manifold approximation and projection. The key idea is to preserve the local-connectedness structure inherent in the collected unlabelled channel samples, such that the CHs from the service area are detectable. Our results on the DeepMIMO dataset scenario demonstrate that the proposed method can learn the structure within the data samples and provide visual holes in the low-dimensional embedding while preserving the CH boundaries. Once the CH boundary is determined in the low-dimensional embedding, channel-based localization techniques can be applied to these samples to obtain the geographical boundaries of the CHs.

    Abstract Ground-to-air (GA) communication using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has gained popularity in recent years and is expected to be part of 5G networks and beyond. However, the GA links are susceptible to frequent blockages at millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies. During a link blockage, the channel information cannot be obtained reliably. In this work, we provide a novel method of channel prediction during the GA link blockage at 28 GHz. In our approach, the multipath components (MPCs) along a UAV flight trajectory are arranged into independent path bins based on the minimum Euclidean distance among the channel parameters of the MPCs. After the arrangement, the channel parameters of the MPCs in individual path bins are forecasted during the blockage. An autoregressive model is used for forecasting. The results obtained from ray tracing simulations indicate a close match between the actual and the predicted mmWave channel.

    Abstract Tropospheric attenuations can be significant in the millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency bands; hence, accurate prediction modeling of tropospheric attenuation is important for reliable mmWave communication. Several models have been established by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), yet estimation accuracy is limited due to the large spatial scales used for model input parameters. In this paper, we address this and apply local precipitation data to analyze tropospheric attenuation statistics and compare to results when using ITU regional input rain data. Specifically, tropospheric attenuation is predicted via simulations using the ITU method at 30, 60, and 90 GHz in four distinct geographic locations with different climate types. From our simulations, we gather statistics for annual average rain attenuation, worst month rain attenuation, and rain attenuation per decade. Our results indicate that when using local measured rain data, for 1 km link distance, mean rain event attenuation increases from 0.5 to 2 dB. Local rain data yield larger attenuations at essentially all percentages of time not exceeded (essentially corresponding to all probability values): for example, for 0.1% of time not exceeded, in Columbia, SC, rain attenuation for 30 GHz frequency increases to 9 dB with local rain data, compared to 5 dB with ITU's regional data, corresponding to rain rates of 38.2 and 17.5 mm/h, respectively; at the same probability and location, the 90 GHz attenuation increases by 10 dB, from 10 to 20 dB when local rain data are used. Fog attenuations are also appreciable, reaching 8 dB for the 90 GHz frequency. Moreover, for the example locations, peak rain attenuations have increased at a rate of approximately 2 dB/decade over the past 50 years. Our results indicate that actual tropospheric attenuations may be substantially larger than that predicted by the ITU model when using regional rain rate data.

    Abstract Ensuring reliable and seamless wireless connectivity for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has emerged as a critical requirement for a wide range of applications. The increasing deployment of UAVs has increased the significance of cellular-connected UAVs (C-UAVs) in enabling beyond-visual line of sight (BVLOS) communications. To ensure the successful operation of C-UAVs within existing terrestrial networks, it is vital to understand the distinctive characteristics associated with air-to-ground signal propagation. In this paper, we investigate the impact of 3D antenna patterns on a UAV air-to-ground path loss model, utilizing datasets obtained from a measurement campaign. We conducted UAV experiments in a rural area at various fixed heights, while also characterizing the 3D antenna radiation pattern by using an anechoic chamber facility. By analyzing reference signal received power (RSRP) using path loss models that account for antenna patterns, we observed that our measurement results, obtained at different UAV heights, aligned well with the two-ray path loss model when incorporating the measured antenna pattern. We propose an RSRP-based localization algorithm at a UAV that takes into account antenna patterns in both offline and online scenarios. Through our experimentation dataset, we show that incorporating measured antenna patterns significantly enhances the source localization accuracy.

    Abstract Radio dynamic zones (RDZs) are geographical areas within which dedicated spectrum resources are monitored and controlled to enable the development and testing of new spectrum technologies. Real-time spectrum awareness within an RDZ is critical for preventing interference with nearby incumbent users of the spectrum. In this paper, we consider a 3D RDZ scenario and propose to use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with spectrum sensors to create and maintain a 3D radio map of received signal power from different sources within the RDZ. In particular, we introduce a 3D Kriging interpolation technique that uses realistic 3D correlation models of the signal power extracted from extensive measurements carried out at the NSF AERPAW platform. Using C-Band signal measurements by a UAV at altitudes between 30 m-110 m, we first develop realistic propagation models on air-to-ground path loss, shadowing, spatial correlation, and semi-variogram, while taking into account the knowledge of antenna radiation patterns and ground reflection. Subsequently, we generate a 3D radio map of a signal source within the RDZ using the Kriging interpolation and evaluate its sensitivity to the number of measurements used and their spatial distribution. Our results show that the proposed 3D Kriging interpolation technique provides significantly better radio maps when compared with an approach that assumes perfect knowledge of path loss.
