For edge intelligence, data collection from heterogeneous devices including wireless sensing devices and wired sensing devices brings challenge for efficient model training. Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) based symbiotic radio, which exploits IRS in backscatter systems to passively modulate information in the radio-frequency domain and strengthen both the primary links and the backscatter links, provides a promising solution to address this issue. In this paper, we investigate the joint sensing, communication and computation for edge intelligence oriented symbiotic radio with IRS. Specifically, IRS not only enhances the primary communication to deliver the sensing data for wireless sensing devices, but also delivers the data from wired sensing device to the edge server by modulating the data on the primary communication signal. We formulate a problem to jointly optimize the sensing strategies (i.e., the sensing durations and the sensing rates), the communication strategies (i.e., the IRS reflecting matrix and the data uploading durations) and the computing strategies (i.e., the computing capacities of the wireless sensing devices and the edge server), with the objective of maximizing the energy efficiency of the whole system. An efficient algorithm is proposed to solve the formulated optimization problem, with sufficient numerical results provided to demonstrate the performance advantages.","PeriodicalId":13069,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cognitive Communications and Networking","volume":"10 5","pages":"1650-1662"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141899791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In typical applications like industrial Internet of Things (IoT), cognitive AmBC (CAmBC) networks are required to offer passive communication, edge computing, and cognition capabilities. However, passive communication relies on the environment and has limited computing power, creating interdependencies among spectrum sensing, networking, and computational cognition. Moreover, the heterogeneous evaluation metrics for communication and computation make unified planning and management challenging. Therefore, this paper proposes the integrated cognitive symbiotic computing-AmBC (CSC-AmBC) based on symbiotic communication and cognitive radio. CSC-AmBC integrates AmBC communication and computational cognition capabilities in a task-oriented manner, sharing proximity and AmBC computing and communication (ACC) resources among primary and secondary tasks. Meta-Link with Tokens and two cognitive ACC reuse models is used to facilitate integration and enhance task execution efficiency, which introduces Places to accommodate the heterogeneous and variable ACC resources. Additionally, the task execution gain metric is introduced to evaluate the multi-task ACC resource utilization.

Such an operation is called over-the-air modulation. The existing modulation schemes such as on-off keying and binary phase-shift keying suffer from two problems for joint detection of the primary and secondary signals in RIS-assisted SR, i.e., one is the detection ambiguity problem when the direct link is blocked, and the other is the bit error rate (BER) error-floor problem when the direct link is weak. To address the two problems, we propose a novel modulation scheme by dividing the phase-shift matrix into two parts: one is the assistance beamforming matrix for assisting the primary system and the other is the transmission beamforming matrix for delivering the secondary signal. To optimize the assistance and transmission beamforming matrices, we first introduce an assistance factor that describes the performance requirement of the primary system and then formulate a problem to minimize the BER of the secondary system, while guaranteeing the BER requirement of the primary system controlled by the assistance factor. To solve this non-convex problem, we resort to the successive convex approximation technique to obtain a suboptimal solution. Furthermore, to draw more insights, we propose a low-complexity assistance-transmission beamforming structure by borrowing the idea from the classic maximum ratio transmission and zero forcing techniques. Finally, simulation results reveal an interesting tradeoff between the BER performance of the primary and secondary systems by adjusting the assistance factor.","PeriodicalId":13069,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cognitive Communications and Networking","volume":"10 5","pages":"1582-1596"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141899713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, when radar and communication equipment coexist in the same system, i.e., radar-communication coexistence (RCC), the interference from communication systems to radar can be large and cannot be ignored. Recently, reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) has been introduced into RCC systems to reduce the interference. However, the “multiplicative fading” effect introduced by passive RIS limits its performance. To tackle this issue, we consider a double active RIS-assisted RCC system, which focuses on the design of the radar’s beamforming vector and the active RISs’ reflecting coefficient matrices, to maximize the achievable data rate of the communication system. The considered system needs to meet the radar detection constraint and the power budgets at the radar and the RISs. Since the problem is non-convex, we propose an algorithm based on the penalty dual decomposition (PDD) framework. Specifically, we initially introduce auxiliary variables to reformulate the coupled variables into equation constraints and incorporate these constraints into the objective function through the PDD framework. Then, we decouple the equivalent problem into several subproblems by invoking the block coordinate descent (BCD) method. Furthermore, we employ the Lagrange dual method to alternately optimize these subproblems. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Furthermore, the results also show that under the same power budget, deploying double active RISs in RCC systems can achieve higher data rate than those with single active RIS and double passive RISs.","PeriodicalId":13069,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cognitive Communications and Networking","volume":"10 5","pages":"1704-1717"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141895559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We develop two types of maximum-likelihood (ML) detectors that are based on instantaneous and statistic channel state information, respectively. A low-complexity detector that achieves a trade-off between performance and complexity is then designed. Closed-form upper bounds on the bit error rate (BER) are derived for both ML detectors over Rician fading channels. We further extend RIS-NPM to the scenario with multiple receive antennas, enhancing the spectral efficiency by embedding partial information into the antenna indices.
