Joint communications and sensing functionalities integrated into the same communication network have become increasingly relevant due to the large bandwidth requirements of next-generation wireless communication systems and the impending spectral shortage. While there exist system-level guidelines and waveform design specifications for such systems, an information-theoretic analysis of the absolute performance capabilities of joint sensing and communication systems that take into account practical limitations such as fading has not been addressed in the literature. Motivated by this, we undertake a network information-theoretic analysis of a typical joint communications and sensing system in this paper. Towards this end, we consider a state-dependent fading Gaussian multiple access channel (GMAC) setup with an additive state. The state process is assumed to be independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) Gaussian, and non-causally available to all the transmitting nodes. The fading gains on the respective links are assumed to be stationary and ergodic and available only at the receiver. In this setting, with no knowledge of fading gains at the transmitters, we are interested in joint message communication and estimation of the state at the receiver to meet a target distortion in the mean-squared error sense. Our main contribution here is a complete characterization of the distortion-rate trade-off region between the communication rates and the state estimation distortion for a two-sender GMAC. Our results show that the optimal strategy is based on static power allocation and involves uncoded transmissions to amplify the state, along with the superposition of the digital message streams using appropriate Gaussian codebooks and dirty paper coding (DPC). This acts as a design directive for realistic systems using joint sensing and transmission in next-generation wireless standards and points to the relative benefits of uncoded communications and joint source-channel coding in such systems.

Channel modeling is a first step towards the successful projecting of any wireless communication system. Hence, in this paper, we analyze the performance at the output of a multi-branch selection combining (SC) diversity receiver in a wireless environment that has been distracted by fading and co-channel interference (CCI), whereby the fading is modelled by newer Beaulieu-Xie (BX) distribution, and the CCI is modelled by the κ-µ distribution. The BX distribution provides the ability to include in consideration any number of line-of-sight (LOS) useful signal components and non-LOS (NLOS) useful signal components. This distribution contains characteristics of some other fading models thanks to its flexible fading parameters, which also applies to the κ-µ distribution. We derived here the expressions for the probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) for the output signal-to-co-channel interference ratio (SIR). After that, other performances are obtained, namely: outage probability (Pout), channel capacity (CC), moment-generating function (MGF), average bit error probability (ABEP), level crossing rate (LCR), and average fade duration (AFD). Numerical results are presented in several graphs versus the SIR for different values of fading and CCI parameters, as well as the number of input branches in the SC receiver. Then, the impact of parameters on all performance is checked. From our numerical results, it is possible to directly obtain the performance for all derived and displayed quantities for cases of previously known distributions of fading and CCI by inserting the appropriate parameter values. In the second part of the paper, a workflow for automated network experimentation relying on the synergy of Large Language Models (LLMs) and model-driven engineering (MDE) is presented, while the previously derived expressions are used for evaluation. Due to the aforementioned, the biggest value of the obtained results is the applicability to the cases of a large number of other distributions for fading and CCI by replacing the corresponding parameters in the formulas for the respective performances.

Many emerging applications, such as factory automation, electric power distribution, and intelligent transportation systems, require multicast Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (mURLLC). Since 3GPP Release 17, 5G systems natively support multicast functionality, including multicast Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request and various feedback schemes. Although these features can be promising for mURLLC, the specifications and existing studies fall short in offering guidance on their efficient usage. This paper presents the first comprehensive system-level evaluation of mURLLC, leveraging insights from 3GPP specifications. It points out (i) how mURLLC differs from traditional multicast broadband wireless communications, and (ii) which approaches to provide mURLLC require changing the paradigm compared with the existing solutions. Finally, the paper provides recommendations on how to satisfy strict mURLLC requirements efficiently, i.e., with low channel resource consumption, which increases the capacity of 5G systems for mURLLC. Simulation results show that proper configuration of multicast mechanisms and the corresponding algorithms for mURLLC traffic can reduce resource consumption up to three times compared to the baseline solutions proposed for broadband multicast traffic, which significantly increases the system capacity.

This paper deals with the design, simulation, and practical modeling of metamaterial-based multiband conformal bandpass filter (BPF) for various wireless communication applications with improved quality factors. The novel metamaterial in the form of a split ring resonator is loaded on the ground plane face of the proposed BPF. The overall dimension of the designed BPF is only 2 8 × 2 8 mm 2 . The proposed BPF is tuned initially for quality factor enhancement based on the thickness of the substrate, physical parameters of the f transmission line, ground plane, externally loaded elements, and the gap in the metamaterial loading. The suggested filter operates at triple band covering the frequency bands from 1.4 to 2.2, 3.6 to 3.9, and 4.8 to 5.9 GHz, which are suitable for sub-6 GHz 5G and other wireless applications. The insertion loss is observed as 1 dB, which is suitable for the proposed BPF. The conformal behavior of the filter is judged through bending deformation analysis at various bending positions like (15 ∘ , 30 ∘ , 45 ∘ , 60 ∘ , and 90 ∘ ). The proposed BPF retains triple pass band characteristics at various bending deformations, which makes it suitable to be used in curved structures or flexible circuitry. The theory of equivalent circuits and quality factor (Q) of the designed BPF is discussed in this paper. The results are analyzed experimentally through ANRITSU-MS2037C combinational analyzer. The proposed BPF is suitable for sub-6 GHz 5G, WLAN, and Wi-Max applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Channel coding technology plays an important role in wireless communication systems, and it serves as a crucial mechanism to reduce interference during the transmission process. As the fifth-generation (5G) and sixth-generation (6G) wireless communication systems rapidly advance, requirements of the users on the quality and security of wireless service are increasing. To solve these problems, it calls for us to explore the new channel coding technologies. In this paper, a linear feedback coding scheme for fading multiple-access channels with degraded message sets (FMAC-DMS) is proposed. In this scheme, the transmitting beamforming and channel splitting are used to transform the channel with complex signals into scalar equivalent sub-channels. Then, the extended Schalkwijk-Kailath coding scheme (SK) is further applied to each sub-channel. The channel capacity, finite blocklength (FBL) sum-rate and FBL secrecy achievable sum-rate of the FMAC-DMS in single-input single-output (SISO) and multi-input single-output (MISO) cases are derived. Finally, we show that the proposed scheme not only provides a FBL coding solution but also guarantees physical layer security(PLS). The numerical and simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme as a channel coding solution. The study of this paper provides a new method to construct a practical FBL scheme for the FMAC-DMS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Semantic communication technology in the 6G wireless system focuses on semantic extraction in communication, that is, only the inherent meaning of the intention in the information. Existing technologies still have challenges in extracting emotional perception in the information, high compression rates, and privacy leakage due to knowledge sharing in communication. Large-scale generative-model technology could rapidly generate multimodal information according to user requirements. This paper proposes an approach that leverages large-scale generative models to create animated short films that are semantically and emotionally similar to real scenes and characters. The visual content of the data source is converted into text expression through semantic understanding technology; emotional clues from the data source media are added to the text form through reinforcement learning technology; and finally, a large-scale generative model is used to generate visual media, which is consistent with the semantics of the data source. This paper develops a semantic communication process with distinct modules and assesses the enhancements garnered from incorporating an emotion enhancement module. This approach facilitates the expedited generation of broad media forms and volumes according to the user's intention, thereby enabling the creation of generated multimodal media within applications in the metaverse and in intelligent driving systems.

Future communication, 5G, medical, and IoT systems need compact, green, efficient wideband sensors, and antennas. Novel linear and dual-polarized antennas for 5G, 6G, medical devices, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, and healthcare monitoring sensors are presented in this paper. One of the major goals in the evaluation of medical, 5G, and smart wireless communication devices is the development of efficient, compact, low-cost antennas and sensors. Moreover, passive and active sensors may be self-powered by connecting an energy-harvesting unit to the antenna to collect electromagnetic radiation and charge the wearable sensor battery. Wearable sensors and antennas can be employed in smart grid applications that provide communication between neighbors, localized management, bidirectional power transfer, and effective demand response. A low-cost wearable antenna may be developed by etching the printed feed and matching the network on the same substrate in the printed antenna. Active modules may be placed on the same dielectric board. The antenna design parameters and a comparison between the computation and measured electrical performance of the antennas are presented in this paper. The electrical characteristics of the new compact antennas in the vicinity of the patient's body were simulated by using electromagnetic simulation techniques. Fractal and metamaterial efficient antennas and sensors were evaluated to maximize the electrical characteristics of smart communication and medical devices. The dual- and circularly polarized antennas developed in this paper are crucial to the evaluation of wideband and multiband compact 5G, 6G, and IoT advanced systems. The new efficient sensors and antennas maximize the system's dynamic range and electrical characteristics. The new efficient wearable antennas and sensors are compact, wideband, and low-cost. The operating resonant frequency of the metamaterial antennas with circular split-ring resonators (CSRRs) may be 5% to 9% lower than the resonant frequency of the sensor without CSRRs. The directivity and gain of the metamaterial fractal antennas with CSRRs may be up to 3 dB higher than the antennas without CSRRs. The directivity and gain of the metamaterial fractal passive sensors with CSRRs may be up to 8.5 dBi. This study presents new wideband active meta-fractal antennas and sensors. The bandwidth of the new sensors is around 9% to 20%. At 2.83 GHz, the receiving active sensor gain is 13.5 dB and drops to 8 dB at 3.2 GHz. The receiving module noise figure with TAV541 LNA is around 1dB. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years, key generation schemes based on the reciprocity of wireless channels have gained widespread attention in the field of wireless physical layer security. However, due to the openness of wireless channels, eavesdroppers may obtain partial legitimate keys by eavesdropping on the wireless channel. To address this issue, this paper proposes a wireless channel coding scheme that induces an "avalanche" of errors for eavesdroppers, which could maximize eavesdropper's bit error rate. The design of this scheme is based on the significant differences between the eavesdropping channel and the legitimate channel, and the average bit key disagreement ratio of the keys generated by the legitimate channel is around 8%. The scheme selects polar codes with strong error correction capabilities and chooses a coding rate matching the error level of the legitimate channel, forcing the eavesdropping channel's error rate into an "avalanche" state, where the error rate approaches 50%. This paper presents the structure of the encoder and determines the coding rate through simulation. Simulation results demonstrate that this scheme can significantly degrade the error rate of the eavesdropping channel while ensuring the prevention of eavesdroppers from obtaining secret information transmitted through the legitimate channel.

This paper presents a novel approach to optimize the thinning of an elliptical cylindrical array (ECA) composed of uniformly stimulated, isotropic antennas with the objective of achieving a directed beam characterized by a significantly reduced relative Sidelobe Level (SLL). The optimization process employs the Novel Particle Swarm Optimization (NPSO) method, which offers a fresh perspective on addressing electromagnetic optimization challenges by its ability to effectively explore solution spaces. By employing the NPSO algorithm, which emulates the collective behavior of swarming particles to search for optimal solutions, this study addresses complex optimization challenges inherent in antenna array design. This study focuses on identifying the optimal combination of ON–OFF components (use the minimum number of ON antenna elements) within the antenna array to produce a radiation pattern exhibiting the greatest decrease in SLL. Additionally, the First Null Beam Width (FNBW) is targeted for optimization without predefined values. The optimization approach also considers the effect of thinned array element spacing on the overall performance metrics. Out of total 36 elements, only 15 elements are switched ON and the remaining of the elements are OFF, so the total reduction or thinning of ECAA is 41.66%. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed methodology enables a simultaneous reduction of more than half of the antenna array elements while achieving superior SLL minimization. This significant reduction in antenna elements not only contributes to simplifying the array design, but also enhances the array’s beamforming capabilities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Joint source–channel coding (JSCC) based on deep learning has shown significant advancements in image transmission tasks. However, previous channel-adaptive JSCC methods often rely on the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the current channel for encoding, which overlooks the neural network's self-adaptive capability across varying SNRs. This paper investigates the self-adaptive capability of deep learning-based JSCC models to dynamically changing channels and introduces a novel method named Channel-Blind JSCC (CBJSCC). CBJSCC leverages the intrinsic learning capability of neural networks to self-adapt to dynamic channels and diverse SNRs without relying on external SNR information. This approach is advantageous, as it is not affected by channel estimation errors and can be applied to one-to-many wireless communication scenarios. To enhance the performance of JSCC tasks, the CBJSCC model employs a specially designed encoder–decoder. Experimental results show that CBJSCC outperforms existing channel-adaptive JSCC methods that depend on SNR estimation and feedback, both in additive white Gaussian noise environments and under slow Rayleigh fading channel conditions. Through a comprehensive analysis of the model's performance, we further validate the robustness and adaptability of this strategy across different application scenarios, with the experimental results providing strong evidence to support this claim.

New communication paradigms have emerged to make better use of the available wireless spectrum due to its scarcity. Millimeter wave high-frequency spectrum could offer a viable solution to the problem of spectrum scarcity. Millimeter wave devices and antennas are becoming increasingly popular and are used in a wide variety of applications and planned Fifth Generation (5G) wireless communication networks. In this work, we develop a Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) based antenna array and millimeter-wave feeding network with the aim of achieving optimal performance. A microstrip array antenna is developed for use at millimeter wave frequencies of 28 GHz and 38 GHz. Next, an SIW array antenna will be created. For high-frequency uses, SIW technology excels due to its low loss, easy integration and high quality factor. The two unequal longitudinal slots in a slotted SIW antenna cause the structure to resonate at 28 GHz and 38 GHz. The SIW structure is fabricated by making two parallel rows of metallic vias, carefully determined through sizes to ensure minimal internal losses. A microstrip line that transitions into a SIW feeds into the proposed layout. In this paper, the authors investigate the design and construction of an integrated waveguide antenna array for use at dual millimeter-wave frequencies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the rapid development of new power systems, diverse new power services have imposed stricter requirements on network resources and performance. However, the traditional method of transmitting request data to the IoT management platform for unified processing suffers from large delays due to long transmission distances, making it difficult to meet the delay requirements of new power services. Therefore, to reduce the transmission delay, data transmission, storage and computation need to be performed locally. However, due to the limited resources of individual nodes in the local power wireless communication network, issues such as tight coupling between devices and resources and a lack of flexible allocation need to be addressed. The collaborative allocation of resources among multiple nodes in the local network is necessary to satisfy the multi-dimensional resource requirements of new power services. In response to the problems of limited node resources, inflexible resource allocation, and the high complexity of multi-dimensional resource allocation in local power wireless communication networks, this paper proposes a multi-objective joint optimization model for the collaborative allocation of communication, storage, and computing resources. This model utilizes the computational characteristics of communication resources to reduce the dimensionality of the objective function. Furthermore, a mouse swarm optimization algorithm based on multi-strategy improvements is proposed. The simulation results demonstrate that this method can effectively reduce the total system delay and improve the utilization of network resources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) need to process data streams in high‐speed sensor data acquisition or high‐speed wireless communications. To process the data can require more computing and communication resources, resulting in higher power consumption. Halved‐Phase Only Multiple Input Multiple Output (HPO‐MIMO) communication technology can solve this problem by using low‐power nonlinear detection devices. In ISAC, Channel Estimation (CE) technology can provide key channel characteristics and state information for sensing and collaborative work of perception and communication tasks. However, HPO‐MIMO system cannot realize CE using traditional receiver schemes because of the missing amplitude. In order to solve this problem, two HPO‐MIMO CE schemes based on model‐driven deep learning are proposed in this paper. The proposed schemes include a Densely Residual Network (DRN) and a Inception‐Resnet (IR), which is suitable for the case of sufficient data and insufficient data, respectively. The simulation results show that the performance of DRN based scheme is better than that of IR based scheme when the data amount is sufficient, and the performance of IR based scheme is better when the dataset is small. In addition, the proposed CE schemes work well with a range of antenna sizes and distances. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper investigates the design of transmit beamforming in an integrated sensing and communication system, where an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with a uniform linear array (ULA) transmits combined information‐carrying and dedicated sensing signals to perform multi‐user communication and simultaneously sense potential targets. First, the transmit beamforming design is formulated as a series of non‐convex optimisation problems, and then jointly design the information and sensing beamforming to maximise the minimum communication rate under an optimised UAV deployment location, subject to the sensing beampattern gain requirements and the limited transmit power of the UAV. However, due to the application of ULA on the UAV, the formulated problems are highly non‐convex and difficult to solve optimally. To address the aforementioned issue, an efficient algorithm is proposed to find suboptimal yet high‐quality solutions. This is achieved by adopting the successive convex approximation and semidefinite relaxation. The numerical results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and demonstrate that the transmit beamforming design achieves a balance between communication and sensing performance.

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and ambient backscatter communication (AmBC) are promising technologies to enable spectrum efficiency in wireless communication systems. In this paper, we propose a downlink NOMA multiplexing-based Symbiotic radio (SR) AmBC system over Rayleigh fading channels. The system consists of one source node S, one backscatter device (BD), one nearby cellular user (User 1), and one far-away cellular user (User 2). In light of a viable non-linear energy harvesting (EH) model, we implement the most effective dynamic reflection strategy to enhance the backscattered signal's power, adhering to the BD's energycausality limitations. The analytical expressions for the outage probability of the proposed system are derived. Moreover, we compared the performance of the NOMA-based system against the OMA-based system. Simulation results verified our derived expressions and showed that the consumed power by the BD had a remarkable influence on the system outage performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Wireless communication technologies have profoundly impacted the interconnectivity of mobile users and terminals. Nevertheless, the exponential increase in the number of users poses significant challenges, particularly in interference management, which is a major concern in wireless communication. Machine learning (ML) approaches have emerged as powerful tools for solving various problems in this domain. However, existing studies have not fully addressed the problem of interference management for wireless communication using ML techniques. In this paper, we explore the application of recurrent neural network (RNN) approaches to address co-channel interference in wireless communication. Specifically, we investigate the effectiveness of long short-term memory (LSTM), bidirectional LSTM (Bi-LSTM), and gated recurrent unit (GRU) network architectures in two different network settings. The first network comprises 10 connected devices, while the second network involves 20 devices. Our experimental results demonstrate that Bi-LSTM outperforms LSTM and GRU in terms of mean squared error, normalized mean squared error, and sum rate. While LSTM and GRU produce similar results, LSTM exhibits a marginal advantage over GRU. In addition, a combined RNN approach is also studied, and it can provide better results in dense networks.

The reconfiguration of wireless channels with reconfigurable reflecting surface (RIS) technology offers new design options for future wireless networks. Due to its high altitude and increased probability of establishing line-of-sight linkages with ground source/destination nodes, aerial RIS (ARIS) has greater deployment flexibility than traditional terrestrial RIS. It also provides a wider-view signal reflection. To leverage the advantages of ARIS-enabled systems, this paper defines air-to-ground linkages via Nakagami-m small-scale fading and inverse-Gamma large-scale shadowing, considering realistic composite fading channels. To construct a tight approximate closed-form formula for the outage probability (OP), a new mathematical framework is proposed. Additionally, a deep-learning-based system called the BiLSTM model is deployed to evaluate OP performance in the 3D spatial movement of the ARIS system. In the offline phase, the proposed model is trained with real-value channel state estimation sets and enhances OP performance in the online phase by learning channel information in a bidirectional manner. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed BiLSTM model outperforms all other models in analyzing OP for the ARIS system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Reliable testing of aviation components depends on the quality and configuration flexibility of measurement systems. In a typical approach to test instrumentation, there are tens or hundreds of sensors on the test head and test facility, which are connected by wires to measurement cards in control cabinets. The preparation of wiring and the setup of measurement systems are laborious tasks requiring diligence. The use of smart wireless transducers allows for a new approach to test preparation by reducing the number of wires. Moreover, additional functionalities like data processing, alarm-level monitoring, compensation, or self-diagnosis could improve the functionality and accuracy of measurement systems. A combination of low power consumption, wireless communication, and wireless power transfer could speed up the test-rig instrumentation process and bring new test possibilities, e.g., long-term testing of moving or rotating components. This paper presents the design of a wireless smart transducer dedicated for use with sensors typical of aviation laboratories such as thermocouples, RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors), strain gauges, and voltage output integrated sensors. The following sections present various design requirements, proposed technical solutions, a study of battery and wireless power supply possibilities, assembly, and test results. All presented tests were carried out in the Components Test Laboratory located at the Łukasiewicz Research Network–Institute of Aviation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It is posited that the use of the developed in-pipe inspection robot can reduce economic costs and enhance the safety of inspectors when examining aging pipes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

By integrating sensing capability into wireless communication, wireless sensing technology has become a promising contactless and non-line-of-sight sensing paradigm to explore the dynamic characteristics of channel state information (CSI) for recognizing human behaviors. In this paper, we develop an effective device-free human gesture recognition (HGR) system based on WiFi wireless sensing technology in which the complementary CSI amplitude and phase of communication link are jointly exploited. To improve the quality of collected CSI, a linear transform-based data processing method is first used to eliminate the phase offset and noise and to reduce the impact of multi-path effects. Then, six different time and frequency domain features are chosen for both amplitude and phase, including the mean, variance, root mean square, interquartile range, energy entropy and power spectral entropy, and a feature selection algorithm to remove irrelevant and redundant features is proposed based on filtering and principal component analysis methods, resulting in the construction of a feature subspace to distinguish different gestures. On this basis, a support vector machine-based stacking algorithm is proposed for gesture classification based on the selected and complementary amplitude and phase features. Lastly, we conduct experiments under a practical scenario with one transmitter and receiver. The results demonstrate that the average accuracy of the proposed HGR system is 98.3% and that the F1-score is over 97%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we will look at intelligent reconfigurable surface structure and its application in new promising physical layer technologies, such as terahertz communications and UM-MIMO systems, to support very high-bitrate and superior network capacity in the 6G wireless communications. However, terahertz communications and UM-MIMO systems are the primary research points and confront many challenges for practical implementation. They require many RF chains and create problems in terms of cost and hardware complexity which RIS can simplify hardware and reduce cost. Therefore, we will present different modeling of wireless communication systems based on RIS for different phase information. Simulation results obtained by examining SNR performance and the error probability that shows the improvement of the received signal quality. According to results, RIS-based wireless communications can become an optimized model for future wireless communication systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) can be leveraged for periodic sensing and recording of different health parameters using sensors, wireless communications, and computation platforms. Health care systems can be enhanced by using IoMT for remote patient monitoring and data-driven diagnosis powered by machine learning algorithms. In the context of IoMT, federated learning (FL) is an excellent choice to manage machine learning (ML) algorithms to drive this analysis. This is because FL models can be trained in a distributed manner on local heterogeneous datasets that all contribute to the "collective wisdom". The model parameters can be regulated and shared without sharing the actual health data, ensuring confidentiality and security. This paper makes a case for the viability of FL-based analysis of data acquired via IoMT by presenting some use cases and recent work in this area and proposing a novel framework for data analysis using FL specifically in the context of mental stress detection. It shows that FL-based methods can significantly reduce the required communication overhead for each local device from 10.02MB/day up to only 754B/day as compared to non-FL techniques.

An active intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-assisted, secure, multiple-input–single-output communication method is proposed in this paper. In this proposed scheme, a practical and unfavorable propagation environment is considered by assuming that multiple colluding eavesdroppers (Eves) coexist. In this case, we jointly optimize the beamformers of the base station (BS) and the active IRS for the formulated sum secrecy rate (SSR) maximization problem. Because the formulated problem is not convex, we apply the alternating optimization method to optimize the beamformers for maximizing the SSR. Specifically, we use the semi-definite relaxation method to solve the sub-problem of the beamforming vector of the BS, and we use the successive convex approximation method to solve the sub-problem of the power amplification matrix of the active IRS. Based on the solutions obtained using these stated methods, numerical results show that deploying an active IRS is superior compared to the cases of a passive IRS and a non-IRS for improving the physical layer security of wireless communication with multiple colluding Eves under different settings, such as the numbers of users, Eves, reflecting elements, and BS antennas as well as the maximum transmit power budget at the BS.

This paper addresses the increasing demand for computing power and the challenges associated with adding more core units to a computer processor. It explores the utilization of System-on-Chip (SoC) technology, which integrates Terahertz (THz) wave communication capabilities for intra- and inter-chip communication, using the concept of Wireless Network-on-Chips (WNoCs). Various types of network topologies are discussed, along with the disadvantages of wired networks. We explore the idea of applying wireless connections among cores and across the chip. Additionally, we describe the WNoC architecture, the flip-chip package, and the THz antenna. Electromagnetic fields are analyzed using a full-wave simulation software, Ansys High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS). The simulation is conducted with dipole and zigzag antennas communicating within the chip at resonant frequencies of 446 GHz and 462.5 GHz, with transmission coefficients of around −28 dB and −33 to −41 dB, respectively. Transmission coefficient characterization, path loss analysis, a study of electric field distribution, and a basic link budget for transmission are provided. Furthermore, the feasibility of calculated transmission power is validated in cases of high insertion loss, ensuring that the achieved energy expenditure is less than 1 pJ/bit. Finally, employing a similar setup, we study intra-chip communication using the same antennas. Simulation results indicate that the zigzag antenna exhibits a higher electric field magnitude compared with the dipole antenna across the simulated chip structure.

The metasurface is a promising technology that can help next-generation wireless communication systems not only improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), but also increase security and mitigate interference. Further, introducing dual polarization (DP) in a metasurface can enhance its capabilities with polarization diversity, polarization multiplexing, and polarization-switched modulation. In this paper, we study a DP-metasurface-assisted single-user wireless communication system and propose a novel scheme that can improve the spectral efficiency (SE) and bit-error-rate (BER) performance compared to those of conventional schemes by exploiting the orthogonal property of dual-polarized waves. We employ the DP metasurface to increase the SNR at the receiver and create a specific phase difference between the polarized signals by controlling the transmit precoder and the phases of the metasurface reflecting elements representing some modulated bits. At the receiver, we use the recovered phase information to realign the modulated symbols in both polarizations, which are then added coherently. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme achieves significantly higher SE and BER performance than those of some closely related works. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recent years have witnessed the remarkable progress in wireless communication systems due to the escalating demand for higher data rates, improved reliability, and increased energy efficiency. In this regard, Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) has emerged as a promising technology, enhancing spectral efficiency and accommodating multiple users concurrently within the same time and frequency resources. Simultaneously, the energy harvesting has surfaced as a sustainable solution, converting ambient environmental energy into usable electrical power for operating communication nodes. This paper proposes a cooperative NOMA transmission scheme integrating energy harvesting and utilizing Least Squares (LS) channel estimation for precise Channel State Information (CSI) acquisition. The objective is to establish an optimal communication path from source to destination. Relay selection methods: Optimal Relay Selection (ORS) and Max-Min Relay Selection (MMRS), are compared, focusing on their impact on the system performance. The analysis considers the influence of the number of relays and power allocation factor on the system, with a specific emphasis on the outage probability expressions. Comparative analysis between the cooperative-NOMA and the traditional cooperative relaying without NOMA reveals the superior performance of the cooperative-NOMA. Additionally, the ORS scheme outperforms MMRS in terms of the outage performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines the communication difficulties encountered in cross-media wireless optical transmission through simulated research on the utilization of orthogonal time and frequency space (OTFS) modulation technology. Our analysis and comparison demonstrate that OTFS significantly improves the reliability and throughput of data transmission in intricate multipath channel settings. In contrast to conventional orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technology, OTFS displays better resilience and transmission effectiveness. We foresee additional enhancements and progress in OTFS technology to present a sturdier and more efficient resolution for wireless communication, thereby providing valuable perspectives and encouragement for associated research initiatives. Our results underscore the capability of OTFS technology to transform wireless communication systems in demanding multipath channel conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a 3D conformal meta-lens designed for manipulating electromagnetic beams via height-to-phase control is proposed. The structure consists of a 40 × 20 array of tunable unit cells fabricated using 3D printing, enabling full 360° phase compensation. A novel automatic synthesizing method (ASM) with an integrated optimization process based on genetic algorithm (GA) is adopted here to create the meta-lens. Simulation using CST Microwave Studio and MATLAB reveals the antenna's beam deflection capability by adjusting phase compensations for each unit cell. Various beam scanning techniques are demonstrated, including single-beam, dual-beam generation, and orbital angular momentum (OAM) beam deflection at different angles of 0°, 10°, 15°, 25°, 30°, and 45°. A 3D-printed prototype of the dual-beam feature has been fabricated and measured for validation purposes, with good agreement between both simulation and measurement results, with small discrepancies due to 3D printing's low resolution and fabrication errors. This meta-lens shows promise for low-cost, high-gain beam deflection in mm-wave wireless communication systems, especially for sensing applications, with potential for wider 2D beam scanning and independent beam deflection enhancements.

In today's health-monitoring applications, there is a growing demand for wireless and wearable acquisition platforms capable of simultaneously gathering multiple bio-signals from multiple body areas. These systems require well-structured software architectures, both to keep different wireless sensing nodes synchronized each other and to flush collected data towards an external gateway. This paper presents a quantitative analysis aimed at validating both the wireless synchronization task (implemented with a custom protocol) and the data transmission task (implemented with the BLE protocol) in a prototype wearable monitoring platform. We evaluated seven frequencies for exchanging synchronization packets (10 Hz, 20 Hz, 30 Hz, 40 Hz, 50 Hz, 60 Hz, 70 Hz) as well as two different BLE configurations (with and without the implementation of a dynamic adaptation of the BLE Connection Interval parameter). Additionally, we tested BLE data transmission performance in five different use case scenarios. As a result, we achieved the optimal performance in the synchronization task (1.18 ticks as median synchronization delay with a Min-Max range of 1.60 ticks and an Interquartile range (IQR) of 0.42 ticks) when exploiting a synchronization frequency of 40 Hz and the dynamic adaptation of the Connection Interval. Moreover, BLE data transmission proved to be significantly more efficient with shorter distances between the communicating nodes, growing worse by 30.5% beyond 8 m. In summary, this study suggests the best-performing network configurations to enhance the synchronization task of the prototype platform under analysis, as well as quantitative details on the best placement of data collectors.

This paper addresses the resource allocation (RA) for ultra‐dense network (UDN), where base stations (BSs) are densely deployed to meet the demands of future wireless communications. However, the design of RA in UDN is challenging, as the RA problem is non‐convex and NP‐hard. Therefore, this paper considers and studies a semi‐distributed resource block (RB) allocation scheme, in order to achieve a well‐balanced trade‐off between performance and complexity. In the context of semi‐distributed RB allocation scheme, the problem can be decomposed into the subproblem of clustering and the subproblem of cluster‐based RB allocation. We first improve the K‐means clustering algorithm by employing the Gaussian modified method, which can significantly decrease the number of iterations for carrying out the K‐means algorithm as well as the failure possibility of clustering. Then, bat algorithm (BA) is introduced to attack the problem of cluster‐based RB allocation. In order to make the original BA applicable to the problem of RB allocation, chaotic sequences are adopted to discretize the initial position of the bats, and simultaneously increase the population diversity of the bats. Furthermore, in order to speed up the convergence of BA, the logarithmic decreasing inertia weight is employed for improving the original BA. Our studies and performance results show that the proposed approaches are capable of achieving a desirable trade‐off between the performance and the implementation complexity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the constant growth of software-defined radio (SDR) technologies in fields related to wireless communications, the need for efficient ways of testing and evaluating the physical-layer (PHY) protocols developed for these technologies in real-life traffic scenarios has become more critical. This paper proposes a software testbed that enhances the creation of network environments that allow GNU radio applications to be fed with test traffic in a simple way and through an interoperable interface. This makes the use of any traffic generator possible—existing ones or one that is custom-built—to evaluate a GNU radio application. In addition, this paper proposes an efficient way to collect PHY-specific monitoring data to improve the performance of the critical components of the message delivery path by employing the protocol buffers library. This study considers the entire testing and evaluation ecosystem and demonstrates how PHY-specific monitoring information is collected, handled, stored, and processed as time series to allow complex visualization and real-time monitoring.

With the rapid development of wireless communication networks and Internet of Things technology (IoT), higher requirements have been put forward for spectrum resource utilization and system performance. In order to further improve the utilization of spectrum resources and system performance, this paper proposes an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-assisted fair energy allocation algorithm for cognitive multiple-input single-output (MISO) wireless-powered networks. The goal of this paper is to maximize the minimum energy receiving power in the energy receiver, which is constrained by the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) threshold of the information receiver in the secondary network, the maximum transmission power at the cognitive base station (CBS), and the interference power threshold of the secondary network on the main network. Due to the coupling between variables, this paper uses iterative optimization algorithms to optimize and solve different variables. That is, when solving the active beamforming variables, the passive beamforming variables are fixed; then, the obtained active beamforming variables are fixed, and the passive beamforming variables are solved. Through continuous iterative optimization, the system converges. The simulation results have verified the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Turbulence effects can cause performance degradation for underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC) system. In this paper, a hybrid modulation (modulation–modulation, M–M) is presented to resist turbulence‐induced fading and improve the transmission performance of UOWC systems. The proposed differential phase shift keying‐multiple pulse position modulation (DPSK‐mPPM) is adopted as hybrid modulation to improve the bit error rate (BER) performance over UOWC turbulence channel of Gamma–Gamma distribution. Subsequently, the closed‐form average BER expressions of mPPM and hybrid DPSK‐mPPM modulation are derived and investigated, which are related to the oceanic turbulence parameters. The influence of the variation of anisotropy factor of ocean turbulence is analysed for the UOWC system over strong Gamma–Gamma turbulent channels. Finally, the numerical simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed DPSK‐mPPM to improve the BER performance compared to the traditional single modulation over UOWC channel under the same conditions. Furthermore, the work of this paper improves the practicality of the proposed DPSK‐mPPM scheme for underwater communication in complex oceanic environments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The need for low latency and high data rates is increasing rapidly since the advent of wireless communication. The current fifth-generation (5G) networks are unable to fulfill the requirements of upcoming technologies. So, researchers are commencing their research beyond 5G. Terahertz (THz) frequency is one candidate to satisfy the large bandwidth requirement and intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is incorporated to mitigate signal blockage which is the main problem for communication at high frequencies. Channel estimation is a process of identifying coefficients of the channel matrix. The compressive sensing technique is of great importance as it decreases the number of pilot symbols required for channel estimation. As mmWave and THz signals are naturally sparse applying a compressive sensing technique is reasonable. Unlike other papers, this paper considers the imperfect IRS elements, which is the real case, by varying the value of β (amplitude perturbations). The channel estimation performance of the conventional least squares (LS), orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) and Oracle is analyzed with respect to signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and pilot length (T). Normalized mean square error (NMSE) and spectral efficiency (SE) are used as performance metrics and the OMP algorithm is found to perform better than LS even at a fewer number of pilot symbols.

Advanced light sources in the blue-green band are crucial for underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) systems. Vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VECSELs) can produce high output power and good beam quality, making them suitable for UWOC. This paper presents a 108 m distance UWOC based on a 100 mW 490 nm blue VECSEL and an acousto-optic modulator (AOM). The high-quality beam, which is near diffraction-limited, undergoes relatively small optical attenuation when using a conventional avalanche photodiode (APD) as the detector and employing 64-pulse position modulation (PPM). At the time-slot frequency of 50 MHz, the bit error rate (BER) of the UWOC was 2.7 × 10−5. This is the first reported AOM-based UWOC system with a transmission distance over 100 m. The estimated maximum transmission distance may be improved to about 180 m by fully utilizing the detection accuracy of the APD according to the measured attenuation coefficient of the blue VECSEL used. This type of UWOC system, composed of a high-beam-quality light source and a conventional detector, make it more closely suited to practical applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Simultaneous transmit and receive wireless communications have been highlighted for their potential to double the spectral efficiency. However, it is necessary to mitigate self-interference (SI). Considering both the SI channel and remote transmission (RT) channel need to be estimated before equalizing the received signal, we propose two adaptive algorithms for linear and nonlinear self-interference cancellation (SIC), based on a multi-layered joint channel estimator structure. The proposed algorithms estimate the RT channel while performing SIC, and the multi-layered structure ensures improved performance across various interference-to-signal ratios. The M-estimate function enhances the robustness of the algorithm, allowing it to converge even when affected by impulsive noise. For nonlinear SIC, this paper introduces an adaptive algorithm based on generalized Hammerstein polynomial basis functions. The simulation results indicate that this approach achieves a better convergence speed and normalized mean squared difference compared to existing SIC methods, leading to a lower system bit error rate.

This paper introduces a new simple moment-generating function (MGF) design modelling method to conclude an optimum filter to maximize the Q-factor and increase the link communication span. This approach mitigates the pulse temporal dispersion, particularly the underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) systems. Hence, some form of equalizing filter design is highly desirable. The model solution environment includes a Double Gamma Function (DGF) water channel impulse response, intersymbol interference (ISI), stochastic Poisson process, and additive Gaussian thermal noise (AGTN). The optimal filters exhibit temporal profiles comparable to those derived by published works based on complex Chernoff Bound (CB) and Modified Chernoff Bound (MCB) methods. The results show the impact of the optimum filter at a signal level and optical receiver level utilizing Eye-Diagrams and BER vs. Q-Factor, respectively. The computation involves four different UWOC propagation channel models for Coastal and Harbor waters. One of the main conclusions indicates that the optimum filter manages the temporal dispersion due to the ISI impairment correctly. Also, the proposed optimum filter reduces eye-opening and the corresponding Q-Factor by less than 15% for a five-times increase in pulse width for the same transmitted optical power level.

Robust wireless communication using relaying system and Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) will be extensively used for future IoT applications. In this paper, we consider a fall detection IoT application in which elderly patients are equipped with wearable motion sensors. Patient motion data is sent to fog data servers via a NOMA-based relaying system, thereby improving the communication reliability. We analyze the average signal-to-interference-plus-noise (SINR) performance of the NOMA-based relaying system, where the source node transmits two different symbols to the relay and destination node by employing superposition coding over Rayleigh fading channels. In the amplify-and-forward (AF) based relaying, the relay re-transmits the received signal after amplification, whereas, in the decode-and-forward (DF) based relaying, the relay only re-transmits the symbol having lower NOMA power coefficient. We derive closed-form average SINR expressions for AF and DF relaying systems using NOMA. The average SINR expressions for AF and DF relaying systems are derived in terms of computationally efficient functions, namely Tricomi confluent hypergeometric and Meijer's G functions. Through simulations, it is shown that the average SINR values computed using the derived analytical expressions are in excellent agreement with the simulation-based average SINR results.

The fast development of the sensors in the wireless sensor networks (WSN) brings a big challenge of low energy consumption requirements, and Peer-to-peer (P2P) communication becomes the important way to break this bottleneck. However, the interference caused by different sensors sharing the spectrum and the power limitations seriously constrains the improvement of WSN. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed a deep reinforcement learning-based energy consumption optimization for P2P communication in WSN. Specifically, P2P sensors (PUs) are considered agents to share the spectrum of authorized sensors (AUs). An authorized sensor has permission to access specific data or systems, while a P2P sensor directly communicates with other sensors without needing a central server. One involves permission, the other is direct communication between sensors. Each agent can control the power and select the resources to avoid interference. Moreover, we use a double deep Q network (DDQN) algorithm to help the agent learn more detailed features of the interference. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can obtain a higher performance than the deep Q network scheme and the traditional algorithm, which can effectively lower the energy consumption for P2P communication in WSN.
