The design of a new method to detect moving targets through non-transparent surfaces could greatly aid the safety of hazardous military and government operations. In this paper, we develop through-wall virtual imaging using Wi-Fi enabled software defined radio to see moving objects and their relative locations. We use LabVIEW and NI Universal Software Radio Peripheral （NI USRP2921 radios with Ettus Research LP0965 directive antennas） devices to detect moving objects behind walls by sending and receiving a signal with respect to the USRP＇s location. Based on the signal-to-interference ratio of our signal （rather than the traditional signal-to-noise method）, we could determine the target object behind the wall. The two major applications for this project are： detecting an active shooter that is standing on the other side of the wall and detecting abnormalities in the human body such as breast cancer with more sensitive antennas. Likewise, firefighters, law enforcement officers, and military men would find more practical purposes for the use of this system in their fields. We evaluate the proposed model using experimental results.展开更多

To achieve this, we need to keep the signal in digital form for as much portion of the circuitry as possible, so that the implementation could be carried out by programmable digital processors. For this purpose, the incoming radio frequency (RF) signal is down converted to baseband spectrum using band pass sampling method. Research works carried out so far in this field have developed a few algorithms for band pass sampling. But, these algorithms are not much useful for most of the mobile communication systems and they use complex methodology for computing the sampling frequency values. In order to use the SDR platform to integrate all current wireless technologies, an efficient, cost effective and less complex algorithm that can be labelled as universal band pass sampling algorithm is developed in this paper for multiple mobile systems. This algorithm is based on a novel idea of inserting guard bands between the signals which reduces the design complexities of perfect ADC and sharp cut off filters. Using this algorithm, valid sampling frequency ranges and corresponding IF values are calculated for down converting RF signals. The algorithm is tested for six RF signals of different wireless technologies which are integrated and simultaneously down converted using SDR based front end receiver and thus the system multiplies the base station capacity by a factor of six. The simulation results are obtained and shown in this paper which proves that the algorithm developed works well for most of the wireless technologies.展开更多

To meet the 5G vision, service and performance requirements, various candidate technologies have been proposed in 5G new radio;some are extensions of 4G and, some are developed explicitly for 5G. These candidate technologies include non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA), and Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) channel coding. In addition, deploying software defined radio (SDR) instead of traditional hardware modules. In this paper we build an open source SDR-based platform to realize the transceiver of the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) of 5G NR according to Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard. We provide a prototype for pairing between two 5G users using NOMA technique. In addition, a suitable design for LDPC channel coding is performed. The intermediate stage of segmentation, rate matching and interleaving are also carried out in order to realize a standard NR frame. Finally, experiments are carried out in both simulation and real time scenario on the designed 5G NR for the purpose of system performance evaluation, and to demonstrate its potential in meeting future 5G mobile network challenges.展开更多

In this paper, an open Wi-Fi platform is designed and developed with special consideration of real-time signal processing. Such system can help accelerate research and development of future wireless network, especially in the case of cellular/Wi-Fi co-existing networks. This platform is based on the Intel general-purpose processor and the universal software radio peripheral(USRP) radio front end. The design including the physical layer implementations is purely software and is optimized for real-time signal processing on the general purpose processor. In the lab experiment, this platform supports baseband rate up to 700 Mbps with 2 transmitters in 80 MHz bandwidth. A cellular-Wi-Fi signaling interface between the Wi-Fi access point(AP) and the 5G core network is also developed and validated as an example for wireless resource allocation.展开更多
