Title: A Connected Sky: 6G communications for UAVs

Abstract:

The integration of UAVs into unify international air space requires the use of advanced communications with high-mobility communication platforms to provide line-of-sight links and further assist the terrestrial communications. 6G aims to provide ubiquitous wireless connectivity for the whole world. However, the demands for high-quality and ubiquitous wireless services impose enormous challenges to existing cellular networks. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), due to their agile maneuverability, can be dispatched as high-mobility aerial communication platforms to provide high quality links and further assist the terrestrial communications in 6G.Hence, integrating UAVs into 6G networks is a promising solution to achieve such goals. 6G calls for a paradigm on the design of both cellular and UAV communications systems due to the high altitude and mobility of UAVs, the unique channel characteristics of UAV-ground links; the asymmetric quality of downlink and uplink data transmission; weight and power limitations of UAVs; as well as the intra-system and inter-system interference of the integrated networks. In order to provide users with smooth service experience and improve the resource utilization of integrated UAVs and 6G networks.

Title: Inverse synthetic aperture radar imaging of target with

complex motions

Abstract:

Inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging of target with complex motion is very important and difficult in the field of radar imaging, and it has great value in practice. For the target with complex motion, the rotational velocity and rotational axis are time varying, and this will induce the time varying character for the Doppler frequency of the received signal. Thus, the traditional radar imaging algorithm will be inappropriate in this case, and the corresponding radar images will be blurred severely and can not be recognized correctely. Then, the received signal can be characterized as multi-component polynomial phase signal (PPS) for the target with complex motion, and the time frequency analysis for the PPS should be implemented to improve the radar image quality. This report will introduce three kinds of methods, including the parameters estimation, the time frequency representation and the signal decomposition technique for the treatment of multi-component PPS, and combined with the range instantaneous Doppler (RID) technique, the radar image quality can be improved significantly for the target with complex motion.
