Description
As the demand for wireless systems increases exponentially, it has become necessary
for different wireless modalities, like radar and communication systems, to share the
available bandwidth. One approach to realize coexistence successfully is for each
system to adopt a transmit waveform with a unique nonlinear time-varying phase
function. At the receiver of the system of interest, the waveform received for process-
ing may still suffer from low signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) due to the
presence of the waveforms that are matched to the other coexisting systems. This
thesis uses a time-frequency based approach to increase the SINR of a system by estimating the unique nonlinear instantaneous frequency (IF) of the waveform matched
to the system. Specifically, the IF is estimated using the synchrosqueezing transform,
a highly localized time-frequency representation that also enables reconstruction of
individual waveform components. As the IF estimate is biased, modified versions of
the transform are investigated to obtain estimators that are both unbiased and also
matched to the unique nonlinear phase function of a given waveform. Simulations
using transmit waveforms of coexisting wireless systems are provided to demonstrate
the performance of the proposed approach using both biased and unbiased IF estimators.

Description
With the formation of next generation wireless communication, a growing number of new applications like internet of things, autonomous car, and drone is crowding the unlicensed spectrum. Licensed network such as LTE also comes to the unlicensed spectrum for better providing high-capacity contents with low cost. However, LTE was not designed for sharing spectrum with others. A cooperation center for these networks is costly because they possess heterogeneous properties and everyone can enter and leave the spectrum unrestrictedly, so the design will be challenging. Since it is infeasible to incorporate potentially infinite scenarios with one unified design, an alternative solution is to let each network learn its own coexistence policy. Previous solutions only work on fixed scenarios. In this work we present a reinforcement learning algorithm to cope with the coexistence between Wi-Fi and LTE-LAA agents in 5 GHz unlicensed spectrum. The coexistence problem was modeled as a Dec-POMDP and Bayesian approach was adopted for policy learning with nonparametric prior to accommodate the uncertainty of policy for different agents. A fairness measure was introduced in the reward function to encourage fair sharing between agents. We turned the reinforcement learning into an optimization problem by transforming the value function as likelihood and variational inference for posterior approximation. Simulation results demonstrate that this algorithm can reach high value with compact policy representations, and stay computationally efficient when applying to agent set.
