Multi-UAV Enabled Integrated Sensing and Wireless Powered Communication: A Robust Multi-Objective Approach

In this paper, we consider an integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system with wireless power transfer (WPT) where multiple unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based radars serve multiple clusters of energy-limited communication users in addition to their sensing functionality. In this architecture, the radars sense the environment in phase 1 (namely sensing phase) and meanwhile, the communications users (nodes) harvest and store the energy from the radar transmit signals. The stored energy is then used for information transmission from the nodes to UAVs in phase 2, i.e., uplink phase. Performance of the radar systems depends on the transmit signals as well as the receive filters; the energy of the transmit signals also affects the communication network because it serves as the source of uplink powers. Therefore, we cast a multi-objective design problem addressing performance of both radar and communication systems via optimizing UAV trajectories, radar transmit waveforms, radar receive filters, time scheduling and uplink powers. The design problem is further formulated as a robust non-convex optimization problem taking into account the the user location uncertainty. Hence, we devise a method based on alternating optimization followed by concepts of fractional programming, S-procedure, and tricky majorization-minimization (MM) technique to tackle it. Numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for different scenarios.

A Learning-Inspired Strategy to Design Binary Sequences with Good Correlation Properties: SISO and MIMO Radar Systems

In this paper, the design of binary sequences exhibiting low values of aperiodic/periodic correlation functions, in terms of Integrated Sidelobe Level (ISL), is pursued via a learning-inspired method. Specifcally, the synthesis of either a single or a burst of codes is addressed, with reference to both Single-Input Single-Output (SISO) and Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) radar systems. Two optimization machines, referred to as two-layer and single-layer Binary Sequence Correlation Network (BiSCorN), able to learn actions to design binary sequences with small ISL/Complementary ISL (CISL) for SISO and MIMO systems are proposed. These two networks differ in terms of the capability to synthesize Low-Correlation-Zone (LCZ) sequences and computational cost. Numerical experiments show that proposed techniques can outperform state-of-the-art algorithms for the design of binary sequences and Complementary Sets of Sequences (CSS) in terms of ISL and, interestingly, of Peak Sidelobe Level (PSL).

Design of a Multi-User Wireless Powered Communication System Employing Either Active IRS or AF Relay

In this paper, we optimize a Wireless Powered Communication (WPC) system including multiple pair of users, where transmitters employ single-antenna to transmit their information and power to their receivers with the help of one multiple-antennas Amplify-and-Forward (AF) relay or an active Intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS). We propose a joint Time Switching (TS) scheme in which transmitters, receivers, and the relay/IRS are either in their energy or information transmission/reception modes. The transmitted multi-carrier unmodulated and modulated waveforms are used for Energy Harvesting (EH) and Information Decoding (ID) modes, respectively. In order to design an optimal fair system, we maximize the minimum rate of all pairs for both relay and IRS systems through a unified framework. This framework allows us to simultaneously design energy waveforms, find optimal relay/IRS amplification/reflection matrices, allocate powers for information waveforms, and allocate time durations for various phases. In addition, we take into account the non-linearity of the EH circuits in our problem. This problem turns out to be non-convex. Thus, we propose an iterative algorithm by using the Minorization-Maximization (MM) technique, which quickly converges to the optimal solution. Numerical examples show that the proposed method improves the performance of the multi-pair WPC relay/IRS system under various setups.

Cooperative Fair Throughput Maximization in a Multi-Cluster Wireless Powered Network

In this paper, we study a multi-cluster Wireless Powered Communication Network (WPCN) where each cluster of users cooperate with a Cluster Head (CH) and a Hybrid Access Point (HAP). All users are equipped with multiple antennas. This HAP employs beamforming to deliver energy to the users in the downlink phase. The users of each cluster transmit their signals to the HAP and to their CHs in the uplink phase. In the next step the CHs first relay the signals of their cluster users and then transmit their own information to the HAP. We design the Energy Beamforming (EB) matrix, transmit covariance matrices of the users and allocate time slots to energy transfer and cooperation phases by optimizing the max-min and sum throughputs of the network. Our optimization is a non-convex problem which we break it to two non-convex sub-problems and solve them by employing the Alternating Optimization (AO) and the Minorization-Maximization (MM) technique. We recast the resulting sub-problems as a convex Second Order Cone Programming (SOCP) and a Quadratic Constraint Quadratic Programming (QCQP) for the max-min and sum throughput maximization problems, respectively. We take into account the consider imperfect Channel State Information (CSI) and non-linearity in Energy Harvesting (EH) circuits. Using numerical examples, we explore the impact of the proposed cooperation as well as optimal placement of CHs under various setups.

Throughput Optimization for Wireless Powered Interference Channels

This paper studies a general multi-user wireless powered interference channel (IFC) under the harvest-then-transmit protocol, where the communication in channel coherence time consists of two phases, namely wireless energy transfer (WET) and wireless information transfer (WIT). In the first phase, all energy transmitters (ETs) transmit energy signals to information transmitters (ITs) via collaborative waveform design, while in the second phase, each IT transmits an information signal to its intended ET using the harvested energy in the previous phase. The aim is to jointly design the WET-WIT time allocation, the (deterministic) transmit signal at the first phase, and the transmit power of ITs in the second phase to optimize the network throughput. The design problems are non-convex and hence difficult to solve globally. To deal with them, we propose efficient iterative algorithms based on alternating projections; then, the majorization-minimization technique is used to tackle the nonconvex sub-problems in each iteration. We also extend the devised design methodology by considering imperfect channel state information (CSI) and non-linearity in energy harvesting circuit. The proposed algorithms are locally convergent and can provide high-quality suboptimal solutions to the design problems. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms under various setups.
