We then present the distributions of the magnitude of the end-to-end channel coefficients for SIC-enabled/SIC-disabled based tag selection schemes over Nakagami-m fading. With these findings, we evaluate the novel outage probability expressions for both schemes. We also reveal some key insights related to the system’s diversity gain.

The approach involves utilizing an adaptive Gaussian mixture model to establish the distribution of background noise correlation values and employing the weighted Mahalanobis distance for effectively differentiating the spread spectrum signal.

On this basis, we formulate the optimization problem with respect to the two rotation angles for the sake of maximizing the cascaded path gain, and derive the optimal solutions in closed form. Furthermore, we extend the optimal two-dimensional rotation (2DR) scheme to the scenario where multi-hop RISs assist wireless communication.

Symbol cyclic shift equalization (SCSE) is our previous proposal to address multipath propagation in CP-free OFDM systems. However, SCSE-OFDM exhibits poor bit error rate (BER) performance when the power of the shortest resolvable path is relatively low. In light of this, we carry out a reduced guard interval (RGI) OFDM scheme that achieves a soft trade-off between SCSE-OFDM and ZP-OFDM, where RGI length can be optimized using genetic algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate superior BER performance of RGI-OFDM over SCSE-OFDM and higher spectral efficiency compared to both SCSE-OFDM and ZP-OFDM. RGI-OFDM also exhibits evident advantages in harsh environments with large delay spread.","PeriodicalId":13197,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Communications Letters","volume":"28 12","pages":"2920-2924"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142810423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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 this letter, an expectation-maximization (EM)-based channel estimation is proposed for the RIS-aided XL-MIMO system. By utilizing the properties of the polar-domain near-field channel and angular-domain far-field channel, the original hybrid-field channel is transformed into a common sparse structure to reduce computational complexity, in which the parameters are further modeled as an unknown Bernoulli-Gaussian (BG) distribution. The hybrid-field channel is estimated by iteratively updating the parameters. Simulations are performed and results demonstrate that the proposed EM-based method achieves better performance with the same pilot overhead.","PeriodicalId":13197,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Communications Letters","volume":"28 12","pages":"2869-2873"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142810424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite its benefits, the high computational complexity of effective ordered statistics decoding has limited its application in complexity-sensitive scenarios. To mitigate this issue, we propose a novel variant of the ordered statistics decoder. This approach begins with the design of a neural network model that refines the measurement of codeword bits, utilizing iterative information from normalized min-sum decoding failures. Subsequently, a fixed decoding path is established, comprising a sequence of blocks, each featuring a variety of test error patterns. The introduction of a sliding window-assisted neural model facilitates early termination of the ordered statistics decoding process along this path, aiming to balance performance and computational complexity. Comprehensive simulations and complexity analyses demonstrate that the proposed hybrid method matches state-of-the-art approaches across various metrics, particularly excelling in reducing latency.","PeriodicalId":13197,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Communications Letters","volume":"28 12","pages":"2714-2718"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142810477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
