The reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is one of the most innovative and revolutionary technologies for increasing the effectiveness of wireless systems. Deep learning (DL) is a promising method that can enhance system efficacy using powerful tools in RIS-based environments. However, the lack of extensive training of the DL model results in the reduced prediction of feature information and performance failure. Hence, to address the issues, in this paper, a combined DL-based optimal decoding model is proposed to improve the transmission error rate and enhance the overall efficiency of the RIS-assisted multiple-input multiple-output communication system. The proposed DL model is comprised of a 1-dimensional convolutional neural network (1-D CNN) and a gated recurrent unit (GRU) module where the 1-D CNN model is employed for the extraction of features from the received signal with further process over the configuration of different layers. Thereafter, the processed data are used by the GRU module for successively retrieving the transmission signal with a minimal error rate and accelerating the convergence rate. It is initially trained offline using created OFDM data sets, after which it is used online to track the channel and extract the transmitted data. The simulation results show that the proposed network performs better than the other technique that was previously used in terms of bit error rate and symbol error rate. The outcomes of the model demonstrate the suitability of the proposed model for use with the next-generation wireless communication system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes a novel hybrid beamforming and relay selection scheme for spectral efficiency maximization in a non-regenerative multi-relay multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system. The analog beamforming component in the radio-frequency (RF) domain must follow an element-wise constant modulus constraint, which makes the underlying design problem mathematically intractable and therefore, it is quite challenging to obtain the global optimal solution. To address this problem, phase-only precoding/combining matrices are derived by maximizing the end-to-end received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) under transmit power constraint at the source and each relay node. This task is achieved by decomposing the original complicated optimization problem into two independent components. The first component designs the RF precoder/combiner at source and relay nodes by maximizing the received SNR at relay nodes. While the second component attempts to derive the analog precoder/combiner at relay nodes and destination by maximizing the received SNR at the destination. Digital baseband processing matrices are obtained by deriving the closed-form expression, which minimizes interference among different sub-channels. Finally, the relay selection is made by maximizing the overall SNR from the source to the destination. Computer simulations reveal that the performance of the proposed algorithm is close to its fully digital counterpart and approximately 6% higher than the specified relay-assisted hybrid beamforming techniques. Moreover, the proposed method achieves more than 15% higher performance in a sparse scattering environment when compared with the given relay selection techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A cell-free massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system is an attractive network model that is in the spotlight in 5G and future communication systems. Despite numerous advantages, the cell-free massive MIMO system has a problem in that it is difficult to operate in reality due to its vast amount of calculation. The user-centric cell-free massive MIMO model has a more feasible and scalable benefit than the cell-free massive MIMO model. However, this model has the disadvantage that as the number of users in the area increases, there are users who do not receive the service. In this paper, the proposed scheme creates connections for unserved users under a user-centric scheme without additional access point (AP) installation and disconnection for existing users. A downlink user-centric cell-free massive MIMO system model in which the APs are connected to the central processing unit (CPU) and the APs and users are geographically distributed is considered. First, the downlink spectral efficiency formula is derived and applied to the user-centric cell-free massive MIMO system. Then, the proposed scheme and power control algorithm are applied to the derived formula. The simulation results show that the unserved users within the area disappear by using the proposed scheme, while the bit error rate (BER) performance and sum rate improve compared to the existing scheme. In addition, it is shown that the proposed scheme works well even with a very large number of users in the area, and a significant service performance improvement for the worst 10% of users and the overall improvement of per-user throughput for the bottom 70% of users are ensured.

For a low complexity signal detector to reduce the power consumption for multiple input and multiple output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems, the depth-first sphere decoding (DFSD) detection scheme was proposed. However, the DFSD detection scheme still has high complexity in the hardware implementation. The complexity is especially high when the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is low. Therefore, this paper proposes an adaptive DFSD detection scheme. The proposed detection scheme arrays nodes, sorting by ascending order of squared Euclidean distance (ED) at the top layer of tree structure. Then, the proposed detection scheme uses the different number of nodes according to thresholds based on channel condition. In the simulation results, the proposed detection scheme has similar error performance and low complexity compared with the conventional DFSD detection scheme. Therefore, the proposed detection scheme reduces the power consumption in the signal detector. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
