Studies on Radar and Non-radar Sensor Networks

Abstract

During the period of 12/1/2005--5/30/2006, we expanded our research from generic wireless sensor networks to radar sensor networks. For radar sensor networks, we performed the following preliminary studies: (1) Waveform design and diversity in radar sensor networks with applications to automatic target recognition with or without delay-doppler uncertainty; (2) We proposed a Knowledge-based Ubiquitous and Persistent Sensor (KUPS) network for threat assessment, of which "sensor" is a broad characterization concept; (3) Spatial-temporal-frequency diversity for RSN. For non-radar sensor networks, we conducted the following research: (1) Channel Capacity of Virtual MIMO-Based Wireless Sensor Networks with Imperfect CSI; (2) Cross-Layer Design for MIMO-Based Wireless Sensor Networks; (3) Statistical Analysis in Wireless Sensor Networks with Application to Resource Allocation; (4) MAC Protocol Design for UWB-Based Wireless Sensor Networks; (5) Query Processing Optimization in Wireless Sensor Networks. Fourteen papers were produced during the past six months, and are attached to this report.
