Localization and Tracking of 4G Cognitive Radio
Abstract
The 4G network provides a significant improvement in performance, but service providers are still faced with the annual increase in usage of cell phones and wireless devices. Spectrum efficiency is the most prominent issue in handling the high number of users. The cognitive radio is capable of changing its transmission and/or reception parameters according to the demands of the network. In the 4G network, the cognitive radio is seen as a solution to spectrum efficiency. With the high number of users, it also means that there is a need to effectively localize and track the 4G cognitive radio (4G-CR) signal for various purposes such as urban environment warfare, national security, surveillance, intelligence, and emergency rescue. The localization errors from previous proposed methods of time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) measurements were analyzed in this thesis. The localization errors obtained are close to the differential-distance errors derived from the TDOA measurement algorithms. In addition, the localization of 4G-CR requires an adaptive tracking method, which is also discussed in this thesis.
