MIMO and PDM-based intersatellite optical link for high-speed data transfer and remote sensing application.

Inter-Satellite Optical Wireless Communication (Is-OWC) is a pivotal technology for advancing global connectivity and the effectiveness of space-based operations. It serves as the linchpin for various applications such as global internet coverage, Earth observation, and remote sensing, bolstering our capacity to monitor the planet and deliver essential services. This paper presents the design and performance evaluation of a Polarization Division Multiplexing (PDM) and Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO)-based Is-OWC system operating at a data rate of 60 Gbps.

Highly efficient photonic radar by incorporating MDM-WDM and machine learning classifiers under adverse weather conditions.

Photonic radar, a cornerstone in the innovative applications of microwave photonics, emerges as a pivotal technology for future Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Offering enhanced accuracy and reliability, it stands at the forefront of target detection and recognition across varying weather conditions. Recent advancements have concentrated on augmenting radar performance through high-speed, wide-band signal processing-a direct benefit of modern photonics' attributes such as EMI immunity, minimal transmission loss, and wide bandwidth.

Low-Complexity Beamforming Design for a Cooperative Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface-Aided Cell-Free Network.

Cell-free (CF) networks are proposed to suppress the interference among collocated cells by deploying several BSs without cell boundaries. Nevertheless, as installing several base stations (BSs) may require high power consumption, cooperative CF networks integrated with a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)/metasurface can avoid this problem. In such cooperative RIS-aided MIMO networks, efficient beamforming schemes are essential to boost their spectral and energy efficiency.

End-to-End Deep Convolutional Recurrent Models for Noise Robust Waveform Speech Enhancement.

Because of their simple design structure, end-to-end deep learning (E2E-DL) models have gained a lot of attention for speech enhancement. A number of DL models have achieved excellent results in eliminating the background noise and enhancing the quality as well as the intelligibility of noisy speech. Designing resource-efficient and compact models during real-time processing is still a key challenge.

A data driven approach in less expensive robust transmitting coverage and power optimization.

This paper aims the development of a new reduced-cost algorithm for a multi-objective robust transmitter placement under uncertainty. Toward this end, we propose a new hybrid Kriging/Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) approach combined with robust design optimization to estimate the set of Pareto frontier by searching robustness as well as accuracy (lower objective function) in a design space. We consider minimization of the energy power consumption for transmitting as well as maximization of signal coverage in a multi-objective robust optimization model.

Terabyte capacity-enabled (10 x 400 Gbps) Is-OWC system for long-haul communication by incorporating dual polarization quadrature phase shift key and mode division multiplexing scheme.

Inter-satellite optical wireless communication (Is-OWC) links can become promising solutions to realize the next-generation high-speed communication services. The operation of Global Navigation Satellite Systems can be improved with the use of Is-OWC links through ranging and communication services. However, the key challenge in Inter-satellite link (ISL) is its effective range which is limited due to pointing errors.

Coherent detection-based photonic radar for autonomous vehicles under diverse weather conditions.

Autonomous vehicles are regarded as future transport mechanisms that drive the vehicles without the need of drivers. The photonic-based radar technology is a promising candidate for delivering attractive applications to autonomous vehicles such as self-parking assistance, navigation, recognition of traffic environment, etc. Alternatively, microwave radars are not able to meet the demand of next-generation autonomous vehicles due to its limited bandwidth availability.
