We develop signal capture and analysis techniques for precisely extracting and characterizing the frame timing of the Starlink constellation's Ku-band downlink transmissions. The aim of this work is to determine whether Starlink frame…

We identify and characterize dedicated pilot symbols and other predictable elements embedded within the Starlink Ku-band downlink waveform. Exploitation of these predictable elements enables precise opportunistic positioning, navigation,…

Due to the strong dependency of our societies onGlobal Navigation Satellite Systems and their vulnerability to outages, there is an urgent need for additional navigation systems. A possible approach for such an additional system uses the…

In the last few years, considerable research efforts have focused on measuring and improving Starlink network performance, especially for user terminals (UTs) in stationary scenarios. However, the performance of Starlink networks in…

We consider the massive MIMO downlink with time-division duplex (TDD) operation and conjugate beamforming transmission. To reliably decode the desired signals, the users need to know the effective channel gain. In this paper, we propose a…

We present the largest survey to date characterising intended and unintended emission from Starlink satellites across the SKA-Low frequency range. This survey analyses ~76 million full sky images captured over ~29 days of observing with an…

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) underpin positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT), yet their low-power signals are easily blocked or disrupted, leaving gaps in PNT availability in contested environments (e.g. maritime settings)…

This study evaluates the impact of Starlink satellites on low-frequency radio astronomy below 100 MHz, focusing on challenges on data processing and scientific goals. We conducted 40 hours of imaging observations using NenuFAR, in the…

The mean of 830 visual magnitudes adjusted to a distance of 550 km (the operational altitude) is 4.63 +/-0.02. The data on DarkSat, the low-albedo satellite, indicate that it is fainter than the others by 1.6 magnitudes or 78%. However,…

This paper aims to explore the feasibility of the spectrum sharing between the communication and radar system. We investigate the full-duplex (FD) joint radar and communication multi-antenna system in which a node labeled ComRad with a dual…

Radio positioning is an important part of joint communication and sensing in beyond 5G communication systems. Existing works mainly focus on the mmWave bands and under-utilize the sub-6 GHz bands, even though it is promising for accurate…

The computation of positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) via signal of opportunity (SOP), where signals originally transmitted for communication, such as 5G, Wi-Fi, or DVB-S, are exploited due to their ubiquity and spectral…

We report on observations of 68 satellites belonging to the SpaceX Starlink constellation with the LOFAR radio telescope. Radiation associated with Starlink satellites was detected at observing frequencies between 110 and 188 MHz. A…

In-band Full-duplex joint communication and sensing systems require self interference cancellation as well as decoupling of the mutual interference between UL communication signals and radar echoes. We present sub-band full-duplex as an…

The problem of designing downlink transmission schemes for supporting heterogeneous ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) and/or with other types of services is investigated. We consider the broadcast channel, where the base…

Starlink and alike have attracted a lot of attention recently, however, the inner working of these low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellite networks is still largely unknown. This paper presents an ongoing measurement campaign focusing on Starlink,…

Intended and unintended radio emissions from satellites can interfere with sensitive radio telescopes in the frequency ranges of key experiments in astrophysics and cosmology. We detect strong intended and unintended electromagnetic…

As emerging massive constellations are intended to provide seamless connectivity for remote areas using hundreds of small low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, new methodologies have great importance to study the performance of these networks.…

In-band full-duplex (FD) communications have been optimistically promoted to improve the spectrum utilization and efficiency. However, the penetration of FD communications to the cellular networks domain is challenging due to the imposed…

In this paper, we consider the downlink broadcast channel under heterogenous blocklength constraints, where each user experiences different interference statistics across its received symbols. Different from the homogeneous blocklength…
