Space superiority requires space protection and space situational awareness (SSA), which rely on rapid and accurate space object behavioral and operational intent discovery. The presence of adversaries in addition to real-time and hidden information constraints greatly complicates the decision-making process in controlling both ground-based and spacebased surveillance assets. This paper develops and implements a solution called Adaptive Markov Inference Game Optimization (AMIGO) for rapid discovery of satellite behaviors. AMIGO is an adaptive feedback game theoretic approach. AMIGO gets information from sensors about the relations between the resident space objects (RSOs) of interest and ground and space surveillance assets (GSAs). The relations are determined by both the RSOs and GSAs. Therefore, AMIGO represents the situation as a game instead of a control problem. The game reasoning utilizes data level fusion, stochastic modeling/propagation, and RSO detection/tracking to predict the future RSOs-GSAs relations. The game engine also supports optional space pattern dictionary/semantic rules for adaptive transition matrices in the Markov game. If no existing pattern dictionary is available, AMIGO builds an initial one and revises it during the game reasoning. The outputs of the AMIGO reasoning include two kinds of control methods: processing of GSA measurements and localization of RSOs. The two sets form a game equilibrium, one for surveillance asset management and the other for the estimation of RSO behaviors. Numerical simulations and visualizations demonstrate the performance of AMIGO.
In satellite communication (SATCOM) system, a simple “bent-pipe” transponder is widely adopted to convert uplink carrier frequencies to downlink carrier frequencies for transmission of information without having on-board processing capability. The transponders are equipped with high power amplifiers (HPAs), which like other amplifier modules in communication systems, cause nonlinear distortions to transmitted signals, when HPAs are operated at or close to their saturation points to maximize power efficiency. These nonlinearities can be characterized as amplitude modulation-toamplitude modulation (AM-AM), and amplitude modulation-to-phase modulation (AM-PM) effects, which degrade the transmission performance of the system. Therefore, additional processing techniques such as predistortion (PD) has applied to maximize the transponder throughput along with the HPA power efficiency. In this paper, we first propose an accurate HPA modelling method, which leads to an outstanding agreement with the measured HPA AM-AM and AM-PM characteristics data. Then, a close-form PD is derived with respect to the power and phase compensation for the corresponding output signals of HPA. Finally, simulation results are provided to evaluate and verify the bit error rate (BER) improvement for the considered SATCOM system by applying our proposed PD technique.
In this paper, a Cognitive Radio Network (CRN) based on artificial intelligence is proposed to automatically classify signal modulation more efficiently, which can further help in radio frequency modeling and pattern recognition problem solving. Three different approaches Deep Neural Network (DNN), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) have been deployed and evaluated in the signal modulation classification. In this paper, the signals for training and validation are generated using our MATLAB based RF signal generator, which can simulate various types of modulated signal according to the configuration specification. The numerical results show that CNN network can outperform the DNN and RNN in terms of the signal modulation classification accuracy.

In a cognitive reasoning system, the four-stage Observe-Orient-Decision-Act (OODA) reasoning loop is of interest. The OODA loop is essential for the situational awareness especially in heterogeneous data fusion. Cognitive reasoning for making decisions can take advantage of different formats of information such as symbolic observations, various real-world sensor readings, or the relationship between intelligent modalities. Markov Logic Network (MLN) provides mathematically sound technique in presenting and fusing data at multiple levels of abstraction, and across multiple intelligent sensors to conduct complex decision-making tasks. In this paper, a scenario about vehicle interaction is investigated, in which uncertainty is taken into consideration as no systematic approaches can perfectly characterize the complex event scenario. MLNs are applied to the terrestrial domain where the dynamic features and relationships among vehicles are captured through multiple sensors and information sources regarding the data uncertainty.
Due to the progressive expansion of public mobile networks and the dramatic growth of the number of wireless users in recent years, researchers are motivated to study the radio propagation in urban environments and develop reliable and fast path loss prediction models. During last decades, different types of propagation models are developed for urban scenario path loss predictions such as the Hata model and the COST 231 model. In this paper, the path loss prediction model is thoroughly investigated using machine learning approaches. Different non-linear feature selection methods are deployed and investigated to reduce the computational complexity. The simulation results are provided to demonstratethe validity of the machine learning based path loss prediction engine, which can correctly determine the signal propagation in a wireless urban setting.
In this paper, a Cognitive Radio Network (CRN) based on artificial intelligence is proposed to distribute the limited radio spectrum resources more efficiently. The CRN framework can analyze the time-sensitive signal data close to the signal source using fog computing with different types of machine learning techniques. Depending on the computational capabilities of the fog nodes, different features and machine learning techniques are chosen to optimize spectrum allocation. Also, the computing nodes send the periodic signal summary which is much smaller than the original signal to the cloud so that the overall system spectrum source allocation strategies are dynamically updated. Applying fog computing, the system is more adaptive to the local environment and robust to spectrum changes. As most of the signal data is processed at the fog level, it further strengthens the system security by reducing the communication burden of the communications network.
