Hybrid TOA/AOA Localization for Indoor Multipath-assisted Next-Generation Wireless Networks

The next-generation wireless communication systems (NGWCs) necessitate integrating effective communication and localization techniques. However, the multipath badly affects both communication and localization, especially in indoor NGWCs. Therefore, we propose a novel hybrid localization method based on time and angle-based ranging estimation to address this issue. This method employs an improved matrix enhancement matrix pencil algorithm (IMEMP) to obtain the time of arrival (TOA) and corresponding angle of arrival (AOA) of each path. Two distinct localization methods are presented: First arrival path-based maximum likelihood (ML) and scatterer-assisted. Both methods are designed to mitigate the adverse effects of serious non-line-of-sight (NLOS) scenarios. The proposed scatterer-assisted method demonstrates a noteworthy 20% improvement in performance compared to scenarios where only the first path is considered, particularly in specific areas. These findings highlight the potential of the proposed approach to enhance localization accuracy in challenging wireless environments, offering valuable insights for the advancement of NGWCs.

The validation accuracy received is 98.9% and 99.6% for thousand users with single fully connected layer, none (linear) activation function and regularization strength lambda values of 0.01 and 0.001.

Validity of the Hawkin Dynamics Wireless Dual Force Platform System Against a Piezoelectric Laboratory Grade System for Vertical Countermovement Jump Variables.

Dos'Santos, T, Evans, DT, and Read, DB. Validity of the Hawkin dynamics wireless dual force platform system against a piezoelectric laboratory grade system for vertical countermovement jump variables. J Strength Cond Res 38(6): 1144-1148, 2024-The aim of this study was to determine the criterion validity of the Hawkin Dynamics (HD) wireless dual force platform system for assessing vertical countermovement jump (CMJ) variables, compared with those derived from a Kistler piezoelectric laboratory grade force platform system. During a single testing session, HD force platforms were placed directly on top of 2 adjacent Kistler force platforms to simultaneously collect vertical ground reaction forces produced by 2 male recreational soccer players (age: 29.0 ± 2.8 years, height: 1.79 ± 0.01 m, mass: 85.6 ± 4.7 kg) that performed 25 vertical CMJs each. Sixteen vertical CMJ variables pertaining to jump height (JH), flight time (FT), time-to-take off (TTT), countermovement depth, body weight (BW), propulsive and braking mean, and peak powers, forces, and impulses were compared between systems. Fixed bias was observed for 6 of 16 variables (peak and mean braking power, mean propulsion force, TTT, FT, and BW), while proportional bias was present for 10 of 16 variables (peak and mean propulsive and braking force, TTT, FT, peak and mean braking power, mean propulsive power, and BW). For all variables regardless of fixed or proportional bias, percentage differences were ≤3.4% between force platform systems, with near perfect to perfect correlations (r or ρ = 0.977-1.000) observed for 15 of 16 variables. The HD dual wireless force platform system can be considered a valid alternative to a piezoelectric laboratory grade force platform system for the collection of vertical CMJ variables, particularly outcome (i.e., JH, reactive strength index modified) and strategy variables (countermovement depth).

PAPR reduction techniques Optimization-based OFDM signal for wireless communication systems

OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is a widely used modulation technique in many standards such as Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity), LTE (Long Term Evolution), and 4G. It allows for high transmission data rates and excellent spectral efficiency. However, one of the main limitations of OFDM is its high PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio). In this paper, we will first describe some methods to reduce the PAPR associated with OFDM signal. We will discuss some methods such as the clipping, the Selective mapping SLM, the Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS), and the Tone Reservation (TR). Let's list their advantages and disadvantages before focusing on the TR method which we will detail. This work aims to improve the performance of the TR method in terms of speed of convergence and reduction of the PAPR, using the conjugate different algorithms while respecting the frequency specifications of the IEEE 802.11a standard. The proposed algorithm which is based on the gradient method, Conjugate gradient methods, and Quasi-Newton method shows good performance regarding PAPR reduction and speed of convergence. The choice of an appropriate technique depends on several factors: required PAPR reduction, acceptable complexity, and performances (spectral efficiency, latency, etc.). A trade-off must be found in practice between these different criteria. It has been shown that the Quasi-Newton method algorithm with its two variants converges more quickly.

The Wireless Health Monitoring for Neonatal Care

Abstract: The wireless health monitoring for neonatal care project addresses the critical need for advanced and non-intrusive health monitoring solutions for newborns in neonatal care settings. Approximately 10% of newborns require assistance at birth, and preterm infants often require specialized stabilization or resuscitation. Traditional monitoring methods, such as electrocardiography (ECG) and pulse oximetry (PO), face challenges in electrode application, delayed HR readings, and potential inaccuracies in assessing cardiac output. This project aims to develop a wireless health monitoring system that overcomes these limitations and offers real-time and accurate monitoring of vital parameters, with a focus on heart rate. The proposed system leverages wireless technology to enable continuous and non-intrusive monitoring, enhancing the efficiency of neonatal care in delivery rooms and neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). By incorporating state-of-the-art sensors and communication protocols, the system aims to provide timely and reliable data on neonatal vital signs. The wireless nature of the solution eliminates concerns related to electrode application difficulties, equipment availability, and the risk of hypothermia.

Diesel Level Monitoring System

Abstract: The ultimate objective of this project is to create a wireless diesel tank monitoring system that employs WebSocket protocol to connect fuel sensors and a mobile app in remote areas in real time. Through the use of Wi-Fi networks, customers can obtain consumption information, monitor the current diesel levels in various tanks, and log in to the mobile app, which has a straightforward interface.

Experimental investigation of water-based beam reconfigurable dielectric resonator antenna

In the present article, a novel dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) for the control of radiated beams is presented. The proposed DRA is capable of not only reconfiguring the beam width and gain, but also generating single, double, and multiple beams without changing the shape of the antenna. The DRA consists of a cuboid-shaped dielectric resonator having two chambers for storing the water. By varying the water levels in the chambers the beam width can be varied from 56° to 116° and gain 9.8 dBi to 5.86 dBi at the operating frequency of 9.2 GHz. In addition, multiple beams can also be produced by reducing the water level in one chamber. The prototype of the proposed DRA is fabricated and measured for different water levels. The simulated and measured results are in close agreement. The proposed DRA can find its potential application in microwave, space, and wireless communication systems.

Coupling coefficient calculation method of circular coil with bilateral finite magnetic shields at horizontal misalignment in wireless power transfer systems

AbstractThe coupling coefficient determines the transfer efficiency of the wireless power transfer (WPT) system. The magnetic leakage can be reduced, and the coupling coefficient of the coil can be enhanced by adding a magnetic shield. Thus, the transfer efficiency of the WPT system can be improved. However, when the receiving coil is added with magnetic shield and occurs horizontally misaligned, the coupling coefficients between the coils with the magnetic shield can only be calculated by finite element simulation, and there is no calculation method for the coupling coefficient of two circular coils with bilateral finite magnetic shield at horizontal misalignment. Therefore, based on Maxwell's equations and Bessel's function, the formula of the coupling coefficient between circular coils at coaxial is derived by the subdomain hierarchical analysis (SHA) method. On this basis, the coupling coefficient calculation formula between circular coils at horizontal misalignment is further derived by using the boundary vector equivalence (BVE) method. The results show that the maximum experimental error is not more than 5.58%, and the longest average time of the algorithm is not more than 1.282 s, which verifies the effectiveness and rapidity of the proposed method.

Optimizing inset-fed rectangular micro strip patch antenna by improved particle swarm optimization and simulated annealing

ABSTRACT The recent wireless communication systems require high gain, lightweight, low profile, and simple antenna structures to ensure high efficiency and reliability. The existing microstrip patch antenna (MPA) design approaches attain low gain and high return loss. To solve this issue, the geometric dimensions of the antenna should be optimized. The improved Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm which is the combination of PSO and simulated annealing (SA) approach (PSO-SA) is employed in this paper to optimize the width and length of the inset-fed rectangular microstrip patch antennas for Ku-band and C-band applications. The inputs to the proposed algorithm such as substrate height, dielectric constant, and resonant frequency and outputs are optimized for width and height. The return loss and gain of the antenna are considered for the fitness function. To calculate the fitness value, the Feedforward Neural Network (FNN) is employed in the PSO-SA approach. The design and optimization of the proposed MPA are implemented in MATLAB software. The performance of the optimally designed antenna with the proposed approach is evaluated in terms of the radiation pattern, return loss, Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), gain, computation time, directivity, and convergence speed.

A fixed‐frequency control method for wireless power transmission battery chargers using a dual‐function compensator

AbstractHigh efficiency and unity power factor (PF) are the most important requirements of a wireless charger system simultaneous with the output voltage regulation. Achieving all above‐mentioned criteria in a wide range of the load is challenging in the system. This paper presents a novel control approach applied to series‐series wireless power transmission converter by using a dual‐function compensator to achieve unity PF and maximum efficiency during the constant power‐constant voltage (CP‐CV) charging scenarios. A semi‐active rectifier with impedance matching capability along with a switch‐controlled capacitor constitutes the dual‐function compensator on the secondary side. Meanwhile, the primary side inverter executes the CP‐CV charging scenario for the battery with various charging characteristics at a fixed‐switching frequency. Besides that, all secondary side switches experience soft switching condition throughout the battery charging. Finally, a prototype with a power of 200 W and roughly regulated efficiency of 90% is presented in order to verify the proposed control method.
