Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Liquid Metal-Controlled Dual-Band Doppler Radar for Enhanced Velocity Measurement(IEEE, 2024) Karatay, Anıl; Yaman, FatihDoppler radars, which are critical instruments for velocity measurement, may need to be reconfigured to adapt to different environmental conditions or for ease of use. However, conventional electrical, optical, and physical reconfiguration methods often come with several disadvantages such as deteriorated radiation pattern, reduced radiation efficiency, and high cost. Therefore, the aim of this article is to integrate microwave components that can be controlled using liquid metal (LM) displacement into a Doppler radar to adjust its main lobe direction and operating frequency to the desired values and enhance the measurement capacity of the respective radar. Through this study, multiple parameters of an operational Doppler radar have been simultaneously adjusted using LM displacement exploitation for the first time, thus avoiding the shortcomings associated with conventional reconfiguration methods. To achieve this objective, initially, a back-to-back Vivaldi antenna operating at 2.45 GHz is designed, and beam switching ability is imparted to the structure using the LM displacement method. Subsequently, various techniques are used to convert the structure into a dual-band antenna capable of simultaneous operation at 2.45 and 5.8 GHz, ensuring the desired beam switching feature at both the frequencies. In addition, a power divider capable of switching between the two operating frequencies through LM assistance is proposed, and its integration into the radar system enables the control of both main lobe direction and frequency using the proposed method.Correction Corrections To “massive Mimo-Noma Based Mec in Task Offloading for Delay Minimization”(IEEE, 2023) Yılmaz, Saadet Simay; Özbek, Berna[No abstract available]Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 17Massive Mimo-Noma Based Mec in Task Offloading for Delay Minimization(IEEE, 2023) Yilmaz, Saadet Simay; Özbek, BernaMobile edge computing (MEC) has been considered a promising technology to reduce task offloading and computing delay by enabling mobile devices to offload their computation-intensive tasks. Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is regarded as a promising method of increasing spectrum efficiency, while Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) can support a larger number of users for simultaneous offloading. These two technologies can effectively facilitate offloading and further improve the performance of MEC systems. In this work, we propose a NOMA and Massive MIMO assisted MEC system for delay-sensitive applications. Our objective is to minimize the overall computing and transmission delay under users' transmit power and MEC computing capability. Through the pairing scheme for Massive MIMO-NOMA, the users with the higher channel gain can offload all their data, while the users with the lower channel gain can offload a portion of their data to the MEC. Performance results are provided regarding to the sum data rate and overall system delay compared with the orthogonal multiple access (OMA)-MIMO based and Massive MIMO (M-MIMO) based MEC systems.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 13User Selection and Codebook Design for Noma-Based High Altitude Platform Station (haps) Communications(IEEE, 2022) Cumalı, İrem; Özbek, Berna; Karabulut Kurt, Güneş; Yanıkömeroğlu, HalimHigh altitude platform station (HAPS) communications have made a tremendous impact on recent research into sixth-generation (6G) and beyond wireless networks. The large coverage area and significant computational capability of HAPS systems enable many areas of utilization in 6G and beyond applications, including Internet of Things (IoT) services, augmented reality, and connected autonomous vehicles. In addition, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a cutting-edge technology that can be utilized to enhance spectral efficiency in HAPS systems. In this paper, we exploit NOMA-based HAPS communications and multiple antennas to meet the connectivity, reliability, and high-data-rate requirements of 6G and beyond applications. We propose a user selection and correlation-based user pairing algorithm for a NOMA-based multi-user HAPS system. Moreover, we investigate the codebook design for HAPS communication and adapt the polar-cap codebook (PCC) to the HAPS channel which shows Rician fading propagation characteristics dominated by the line-of-sight (LOS) component. Performance evaluations show that the proposed user selection algorithm is perfectly suited to the HAPS channel and that the PCC provides a remarkable spectral efficiency.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 11Delay Minimization for Massive Mimo Based Cooperative Mobile Edge Computing System With Secure Offloading(IEEE, 2022) Mümtaz, Rao; Yılmaz, Simay; Özbek, BernaMobile edge computing (MEC) has been envisioned as a promising technology for enhancing the computational capacities of mobile devices by enabling task offloading. In this paper, we present a novel framework for a cooperative MEC system by employing Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technologies, including security aspects. Specifically, in the proposed cooperative MEC system, there is no strong direct transmission link between the cell-edge user and the MEC server; consequently, the user sends their tasks to the MEC server through the helpers at the cell-centers. In the proposed framework, we minimize the overall delay, including secure offloading under the constraints of computing capability and transmit power. The proposed algorithm minimizes the overall delay in downlink and uplink transmission while satisfying security constraints to solve the formulated problem. The simulation results show that Massive MIMO based NOMA improves the performance of the secure MEC system by employing more than one helper.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6User Selection for Millimeter Wave Non-Uniform Full Dimensional Mimo(IEEE, 2020) Mumtaz, Rao; Gonzalez, Jonathan; Cumalı, İrem; Özbek, BernaThe millimeter wave (mmWave) based full-dimensional (FD) MIMO communication is one of the promising technology to fulfill the demand of high data rate for the sixth generation (6G) services including 6D hologram, haptic and multi-sensory communications. In order to satisfy the requirements of 6G applications, we investigate a non-uniform rectangular array (NURA) structure with FD-MIMO antenna systems for the multiuser mmWave communications. For the dense scenarios where the number of users to be served is high, we propose user selection algorithms for both digital and hybrid transceiver designs in FD-MIMO with NURA for the multiuser mmWave communications. For the digital transceivers, the users are selected based on their channel correlation considering FD-MIMO with NURA structures. For the hybrid transceivers, sequential user and beam selection is performed using the correlation between the beamspace channels in FD-MIMO with NURA case. The superiority of the NURA compared to uniform antenna structure is shown through the performance evaluations in the multiuser mmWave communications. Besides, the sum data rate results and complexity analysis denote the feasibility of the proposed algorithms compared to the joint user and beam selection schemes.Article Citation - WoS: 34Citation - Scopus: 37Metamaterial antenna designs for a 5.8-GHz Doppler radar(IEEE, 2020) Yılmaz, Hasan Önder; Yaman, FatihThe aim of this paper is to investigate applicability and the effectiveness of the metamaterial-based antennas for a 5.8-GHz Doppler radar. Thus, a double negative index metamaterial structure is designed as a transmitter antenna and a near-zero index medium is integrated with a patch antenna for the receiver. Significant improvements in bandwidth for the transmitter, slight improvements in gain and in directivity for the receiver, and typically size reduction for both antennas are obtained. It is shown that return loss, radiation pattern, and gain measurement results of the newly designed antennas agree well with the simulations for a desired frequency band. The last part of the study is devoted to express the adaptation of the antennas for a low-power radar system whose aim is to reconstruct the velocity of the human, indoor as well as behind the wall, from the shift in the received frequency. The accuracy of the velocity measurements and field test results of the radar with the metamaterial antennas are reported.
