In this paper, a recently conducted measurement campaign for unmanned-aerial-vehicle (UAV) channels is introduced. The downlink signals of an in-service long-time-evolution (LTE) network which is deployed in a suburban scenario were acquired. Five horizontal and five vertical flight routes were considered. The channel impulse responses (CIRs) are extracted from the received data by exploiting the cell specific signals (CRSs). Based on the CIRs, the parameters of multipath components (MPCs) are estimated by using a high-resolution algorithm derived according to the space-alternating generalized expectation-maximization (SAGE) principle. Based on the SAGE results, channel characteristics including the path loss, shadow fading, fast fading, delay spread and Doppler frequency spread are thoroughly investigated for different heights and horizontal distances, which constitute a stochastic model.

In this paper, a novel fingerprint-based localization technique is proposed, which is applicable for positioning user equipments (UEs) in cellular communication networks such as the long-term-evolution (LTE) system. This technique utilizes a unique mapping between the characteristics of a radio channel formulated as a fingerprint vector and a geographical location. A feature-extraction algorithm is applied to selecting channel parameters with non-redundant information that are calculated from the LTE down-link signals. A feedforward neural network with the input of fingerprint vectors and the output of UEs’ known locations is trained and used by UEs to estimate their positions. The results of experiments conducted in an in-service LTE system demonstrate that by using only one LTE eNodeB, the proposed technique yields a median error distance of 6 and 75 meters in indoor and outdoor environments, respectively. This localization technique is applicable in the cases where the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is unavailable, e.g., in indoor environments or in dense-urban scenarios with closely spaced skyscrapers heavily blocking the line-of-sight paths between a UE and GNSS satellites.

In this paper, a recently conducted measurement campaign for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) propagation channel characterization is introduced. Two vehicles carrying a transmitter and a receiver, respectively, have been driven along an eight-lane road with heavy traffic. The measurement was conducted with 100 MHz signal bandwidth at a carrier frequency of 5.9 GHz. Channels are observed consisting of two kinds of channel components, i.e., time-evolving clusters and clutter paths. A novel approach based on Hough transform is proposed to identify the clusters. Based on the cluster identification results, channel characteristics in composite, intracluster, and time-variant levels are analyzed. The parameters investigated include the composite root-mean-square (RMS) delay spreads and power decay versus delay behaviors of clusters and clutter paths, cluster RMS delay spread, cluster RMS Doppler frequency spread, correlations of cluster parameters, and coherence time of parameters of interest. The statistics constitute an empirical stochastic clustered-delay-line channel model focusing on the wideband characteristics observed in the realistic time-variant V2V propagation scenario.

Spoofing attacks pose a clear cybersecurity risk for all systems relying on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) for time synchronization or positioning. Secure Code Estimation and Replay (SCER) spoofing attacks are the most challenging type of spoofing attacks, as these may be problematic even for future GNSS protection systems, like Navigation Message Authentication (NMA) or Spreading Code Authentication (SCA). This is one of the reasons that make the development of complementary protection techniques, like the one proposed in this work, necessary In the first part of the paper, the spoofing SCER attacks are analyzed in detail for GPS and, particularly, for Galileo. The role of the Galileo Pseudorandom Noise (PRN) intra-satellite non-orthogonality distortion term in hindering the attacks is discussed and a detailed comparison between GPS and Galileo expected quality curves for the SCER attack is provided A complementary detection method for end-user receivers (assuming NMA is used) against SCER attacks is proposed, based on the application of machine learning and a proposed set of features extracted from the receiver search space, assuming the attacker was not able to null the satellite signal.

Recently, a measurement campaign for characterizing the channels in underground subway environments was conducted in Shanghai, China. Downlink signals transmitted by 46 universal mobile telecommunication system cells deployed along a 34-km-long subway were collected. Channel impulse responses are extracted from the data received in the common pilot channels, based on which parameters of multipath components are estimated by using a high-resolution parameter algorithm derived using the space-alternating generalized expectation-maximization principle. Multiple time-evolving clusters are obtained, each representing the channel from a remote-radio-unit of a base station to the receiver. Based on a total of 98 time-evolving clusters, channels observed in the station scenario and the tunnel scenario are modeled separately for their distinctive behaviors in many aspects, particularly in the variations of clusters’ trajectories. Intracluster characteristics parameterized by cluster delay and Doppler frequency spreads, $K$ -factor, and dependences among these parameters are investigated. Intercluster parameters, including coexisting cluster number, delay offset, power offset, and cross correlations, are investigated for the station scenario. A path loss model is established for the tunnel scenario.
