In this paper, we investigate the performance of a NOMA system under the effect of in-phase/quadrature-phase imbalance (IQI) over Rayleigh fading channels. Specifically, a closed-form pairwise error probability (PEP) expression for the underlying NOMA scenario is derived, which is subsequently utilized to analyze the achievable diversity order of NOMA users under IQI. Monte Carlo simulation results are provided to corroborate the corresponding analysis and to illustrate the detrimental effect of IQI on the performance of NOMA users.

Due to greater network capacity and faster data speed, fifth generation (5G) technology is expected to provide a huge improvement in Internet of Things (IoTs) applications, Augmented & Virtual Reality (AR/VR) technologies, and Machine Type Communications (MTC). Consumer will be able to send/receive high quality multimedia data. For the protection of sensitive multimedia data, a large number of encryption algorithms are available, however, these encryption schemes does not provide light-weight encryption solution for real-time application requirements. This paper proposes a new multi-chaos computational efficient encryption for digital images. In the proposed scheme, plaintext image is transformed using Lifting Wavelet Transform (LWT) and only one-fourth part of the transformed image is encrypted using light-weight Chebyshev and Intertwining maps. Both chaotic maps were chaotically coupled for the confusion and diffusion processes which further enhances the image security. Encryption/decryption speed and other security measures such as correlation coefficient, entropy, Number of Pixels Change Rate (NPCR), contrast, energy, homogeneity confirm the superiority of the proposed light-weight encryption scheme.

Continuous tracking of heart activity from Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal to assist physicians in treating Cardio Vascular Disease (CVD) is essential for patients to avoid complications and problems associated with Cardiac arrhythmia conditions. But it necessitates a patch form factor and energy-efficient design for long-term battery operation. This paper presents a novel non-invasive single- lead wearable ECG monitoring system for acquiring the ECG signals along with the proposed simplified processor for arrhythmia detection. To ensure correct functional verification, the proposed system is implemented in hardware and tested using the MIT-BIH ECG arrhythmia database and the Creighton University Ventricular Tachyarrhythmia Database. It achieves a classification accuracy of more than 90%. The proposed processor is also synthesized using 0.18um CMOS technology.

In this paper, we consider Power Line Communication (PLC) for Smart Grid (SG) in the presence of impulse noise modelled using the symmetric a-stable (SaS) distribution. The proposed system utilizes coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with real-valued output signal implemented using Hermitian symmetry of the modulated symbols in the frequency domain. Furthermore, the Low-density Parity Check (LDPC) and Polar codes are employed to attain frequency diversity. The paper provides a comparison of the Bit Error-Rate (BER) performance of these codes in the PLC channel. Finally, we introduce a novel Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC) technique that exploits the Hermitian symmetry inherent in the real-valued OFDM symbol and compare its performance to the Zero Forcing (ZF) equalizer that are used to remove the effect of the channel fading. The presented simulation results included in the investigation demonstrate that in the PLC channel, the performance of the proposed MRC approach using LDPC codes outperforms the Polar codes consistently for Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (M-QAM) of orders $M$ = 16.

In this paper, we propose a frozen bit selection scheme for polar coding scheme combined with physical layer security that enhances the security of two legitimate users on a wiretap channel. By flipping certain frozen bits, the bit-error rate (BER) of an eavesdropper is maximized while the BER of the legitimate receiver is unaffected. An ARQ protocol is proposed that only feeds back a small proportion of the frozen bits to the transmitter, which increases the secrecy rate. The scheme is evaluated on a wiretap channel affected by impulsive noise and we consider cases where the eavesdropper's channel is actually more impulsive than the main channel. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme ensures the eavesdropper's BER is high even when only one frozen bit is flipped and this is achieved even when their channel is more impulsive than the main channel.

Modulation classification is an important component of cognitive self-driving networks. Recently many ML-based modulation classification methods have been proposed. We have evaluated the robustness of 9 ML-based modulation classifiers against the powerful Carlini & Wagner (C-W) attack and showed that the current ML-based modulation classifiers do not provide any deterrence against adversarial ML examples. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to report the results of the application of the C-W attack for creating adversarial examples against various ML models for modulation classification.

This paper describes the design and the optimization of microwave integer-N frequency synthesizer used in transceivers for satellite application capable to process in S band [2]–[4] GHz frequencies. The optimization and the choice of the loop filter parameters are a very critical part of the frequency synthesizer. The optimized principle is based on the search for the best compromise between spectral purity and acquisition time to meet the defined applications requirements. Through different simulations and frequencies comparison, the performance and effectiveness of the proposed design are demonstrated.

A novel and compact dual band dual sense circularly polarized microstrip patch antenna with single coaxial feed has been reported in the present work. The key idea of generating dual band circular polarisation (CP) is the integration of a square patch with corner truncation and a smaller concentric circular patch with double slits. The first resonance is provided by the larger patch whose corner truncation generates two orthogonal modes. The inner patch controls the higher-order resonance with the CP contributed by two narrow slits. The higher order resonating frequency can be monitored by controlling the dimensions of the circle and the slits. The antenna provides the CP in two orthogonal planes with two different sense of polarisation. The lower order CP is of left-handed orientation, whereas the higher order shows right-handed polarization. The cross-polarization level is also found to be very low.

The fifth generation (5G) mobile communications technology promises to support new features and services, some of which will require Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communications (URLLC). To maximize the overall wireless networked control systems performance, it is necessary to have the integration of URLLC and control performance. Multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication systems provide diversity technique which is used to transmit the same information through different paths to guarantee the reliability of the wireless network. Additionally, another method is used to increase the channel capacity by offering additional spatial dimensions, and a degree of freedom (DoF) gains in the high SNR regime. These techniques cannot be done together, but there exists a trade-off between them to achieve URLLC. In this work, we study the impact of using (MIMO) systems concerning obtaining URLLC using this trade-off. Then, we study the control performance of the wireless networked control systems (WNCSs) and the average energy consumption of producing URLLC using MIMO systems from the perspective of communication and control co-design. As a result, the proposed method can significantly minimize the average energy consumption compared with single-input-single-output (SISO) system. Additionally, the control cost performance versus SNR of our proposed method is illustrated in the simulation results section.

Scour and other hydraulic processes can be responsible for compromising the stability of linear assets and critical infrastructure (such as Highway Structures and in some cases the embankments supporting the road pavement). In extreme cases, this can even cause failure, if scour is not identified and addressed at early stages. A range of sensors can be used to detect changes in the water and river bed surface elevation, with application in flood and infrastructure scour monitoring, respectively. Here, the range of needs of the infrastructure sector are explored, with an outlook to offer suggestions for the potential application of these new sensors.
