    Comparative Analysis of Tdoa-Based Localization Methods in the Presence of Sensor Position Errors
    (Ieee, 2017) Dalveren, Yaser; Kara, Ali
    It is widely known that localization of emitters can be efficiently achieved by time difference of arrival (TDOA) techniques in a multiple sensor system. Several studies have been proposed in the literature to improve the localization accuracy of TDOA techniques. Among these, very few of them have considered the error in the sensor positions although the accuracy of localization is very sensitive to sensor position errors. In this study, existing TDOA-based localization methods in the presence of sensor position errors are briefly discussed, and then they are comparatively analyzed for specific scenarios. To this end, simulations are performed to compare the localization accuracy of the methods, specifically, with high level of sensor positional errors. It is intended to decide an efficient and robust estimator to be used for an ongoing research on passive localization of radar emitters in dense scattering environments.

    An Experimental Study Towards Examining Human Body Movements in Indoor Wave Propagation at 18-22 Ghz
    (Ieee, 2018) Alabish, Ahmed; Kara, Ali; Dalveren, Yaser
    As 5G communication may use Millimeter waves (mmWave) bands, it is necessary to evaluate short-range indoor links from the link blockage point of view. This paper presents some initial studies for characterizing effects of human body movements on short range indoor links at 18 - 22 GHz. Firstly, measurement system is described, and then, calibration measurements along with initial results of the impact of human body movement on the channel are presented for some scenarios. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to experimentally examine the effects of human body movements at this band. Yet, as this study constitutes a part of an ongoing research, further results will be anticipated to present the effects of objects over and around the link on the directional propagation at mmWave bands (28 - 30 GHz).

    Spectrum Analysis of Parabolic Range Gate Pull-Off (rgpo) Signals
    (Ieee, 2015) Ozturk, M. Talha; Dalveren, Yaser; Kara, Ali
    Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) is a method that is used to capture radar threat signals, and retransmit them by changing their parameters in order to deceive or manipulate radar threats. Range gate pull-off (RGPO) technique is widely used in DRFM methods. RGPO can be either linear or parabolic RGPO according to the applied pull-off function. In this study, firstly, analytical derivations for temporal and spectral analysis of discrete form of linear and parabolic RGPO signals are presented. Then, various scenarios dependent on the parameters of pull-off function are created. Finally, simulation results regarding the scenarios are presented.

    Internet-Of Smart Transportation Systems for Safer Roads
    (Ieee, 2020) Derawi, Mohammad; Dalveren, Yaser; Cheikh, Faouzi Alaya
    From the beginning of civilizations, transportation has been one of the most important requirements for humans. Over the years, it has been evolved to modern transportation systems such as road, train, and air transportation. With the development of technology, intelligent transportation systems have been enriched with Information and Communications Technology (ICT). Nowadays, smart city concept that integrates ICT and Internet-of-Things (IoT) have been appeared to optimize the efficiency of city operations and services. Recently, several IoT-based smart applications for smart cities have been developed. Among these applications, smart services for transportation are highly required to ease the issues especially regarding to road safety. In this context, this study presents a literature review that elaborates the existing IoT-based smart transportation systems especially in terms of road safety. In this way, the current state of IoT-based smart transportation systems for safer roads are provided. Then, the current research efforts undertaken by the authors to provide an IoT-based safe smart traffic system are briefly introduced. It is emphasized that road safety can be improved using Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V21) communication technologies via the cloud (Infrastructure-to-Cloud - I2C). Therefore, it is believed that this study offers useful information to researchers for developing safer roads in smart cities.
