Adaptive Target Detection for FDA-MIMO Radar with Training Data in Gaussian noise

This paper addresses the problem of detecting a moving target embedded in Gaussian noise with an unknown covariance matrix for frequency diverse array multiple-input multiple-output (FDA-MIMO) radar. To end it, assume that obtaining a set of training data is available. Moreover, we propose three adaptive detectors in accordance with the one-step generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT), two-step GLRT, and Rao criteria, namely OGLRT, TGLRT, and Rao. The LH adaptive matched filter (LHAMF) detector is also introduced when decomposing the Rao test. Next, all provided detectors have constant false alarm rate (CFAR) properties against the covariance matrix. Besides, the closed-form expressions for false alarm probability (PFA) and detection probability (PD) are derived. Finally, this paper substantiates the correctness of the aforementioned algorithms through numerical simulations.

FDA-MIMO-based Integrated Sensing and Communication System with Frequency Offset Permutation Index Modulation

Considering that frequency diverse array multiple-input multiple-output (FDA-MIMO) possesses extra range information to enhance sensing performance, this paper explores the FDA-MIMO-based integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system. To reinforce the system communication capability, we propose the frequency offset permutation index modulation (FOPIM) scheme, which conveys extra information bits by selecting and permutating frequency offsets from a frequency offsets pool. For the system communication sub-functionality, considering the fact that the traditional maximum likelihood detection method suffers from high complexity and bit error rate (BER), the maximum likelihood-based two-stage detection (MLTSD) approach is presented to overcome this issue. For the system sensing sub-function, we employ the two-step maximum likelihood estimator (TSMLE) to stepwise estimate the angle and range of the interested target. Furthermore, we derive the closed-form expressions for the tight upper bound on the communication BER, along with the sensing Cram\'er-Rao bound (CRB). The simulation results validate the theoretical analysis, demonstrating that the proposed system exhibits lower BER and superior range resolution than independent MIMO communication and MIMO sensing modules.

Toward Reproducing Network Research Results Using Large Language Models

Reproducing research results in the networking community is important for both academia and industry. The current best practice typically resorts to three approaches: (1) looking for publicly available prototypes; (2) contacting the authors to get a private prototype; and (3) manually implementing a prototype following the description of the publication. However, most published network research does not have public prototypes and private prototypes are hard to get. As such, most reproducing efforts are spent on manual implementation based on the publications, which is both time and labor consuming and error-prone. In this paper, we boldly propose reproducing network research results using the emerging large language models (LLMs). In particular, we first prove its feasibility with a small-scale experiment, in which four students with essential networking knowledge each reproduces a different networking system published in prominent conferences and journals by prompt engineering ChatGPT. We report the experiment's observations and lessons and discuss future open research questions of this proposal. This work raises no ethical issue.
