We propose the deployment of millimeter-wave MIMO for joint vehicular high speed communication and resolution radar sensing. To cope with significant hardware complexity, we consider use low analog-to-digital converters (ADC) while maintaining a separate radio-frequency chain per antenna. The system performance is analyzed in terms Cramér Rao lower bound achievable data rate, compared to ideal case infinite ADCs. Additionally, study impact quantization on trade-off between these metrics....
Improving the accuracy of position and velocity estimates from single frequency Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers is paramount importance due to their wide spread role in new emerging real time applications requiring higher levels accuracy. Single receiver has only two independent measurements: code delay carrier phase measurements. Pseudorange measurements are unambiguous but noisy while those precise suffer integer ambiguity problem. In order obtain high without...

We consider layered decode-forward (DF) cooperation in a relay-aided wireless multicast network. Splitting the source-message into two equal layers, we provide unequal power allocation to individual layers through simple mapping operation on QAM constellation. The layering process thus allows destinations partially recover message from source's transmissions. At relay, propose multiplexed-coded approach that, with single transmission, caters for disparity number of decoded at different...
