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 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…

Short packets make channel learning expensive. In pilot-aided transmission (PAT), a non-negligible fraction of the packet is consumed by pilots, creating a direct pre-log loss and tightening the reliability margin needed for ultra-reliable…

We develop a technique for blind signal identification of the Starlink downlink signal in the 10.7 to 12.7 GHz band and present a detailed picture of the signal's structure. Importantly, the signal characterization offered herein includes…

In many typical mobile communication receivers the channel is estimated based on pilot symbols to allow for a coherent detection and decoding in a separate processing step. Currently much work is spent on receivers which break up this…

A pilot-assisted transmission (PAT) scheme is proposed for short blocklengths, where the pilots are used only to derive an initial channel estimate for the list construction step. The final decision of the message is obtained by applying a…

This work focuses on the downlink communication of a multiuser MIMO system where the base station antennas and the users' receiving antennas are all active, but at each transmission, only a subset of the receive antennas is selected by the…

Spatial signal processors (SSP) for emerging millimeter-wave wireless networks are critically dependent on link discovery. To avoid loss in communication, mobile devices need to locate narrow directional beams with millisecond latency. In…

For short-packet, low-latency communications over random access channels, piloting overhead significantly reduces spectral efficiency. Therefore, pilotless systems recently gained attraction. While blind phase estimation algorithms such as…

The spectral efficiency achievable with joint processing of pilot and data symbol observations is compared with that achievable through the conventional (separate) approach of first estimating the channel on the basis of the pilot symbols…
