The signal detection task is framed as computing the approximate marginals of the a posteriori distribution of the transmitted data symbols of all users. With the approximate marginals, we perform the maximization of the a posteriori marginals (MPM) detection to recover the symbol of each user. Based on the information geometry theory and the grouping of the components of the received signal, three types of manifolds are constructed and the approximate a posteriori marginals are obtained through m-projections. The Berry-Esseen theorem is introduced to offer an approximate calculation of the m-projection, while its direct calculation is exponentially complex. In most cases, increasing the number of groups tends to reduce the computational complexity of GIGA. However, when the number of groups exceeds a certain threshold, the complexity of GIGA starts to increase. Simulation results confirm that the proposed GIGA achieves better bit error rate (BER) performance within a small number of iterations, which demonstrates that it can serve as an efficient detection method in ultra-massive MIMO systems.","PeriodicalId":13330,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing","volume":"73 ","pages":"2288-2303"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143893590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This oversight may undermine the confidence in Byzantine defense strategies. In this work, we investigate the issue from the perspective of a Byzantine attacker instead of focusing on mitigate Byzantine attacks as a system designer. Adopting a specific learning task as example, we examine it using an optimal probabilistic Byzantine attack policy, which we extend from the research scope introduced in <xref>[12]</xref>. Specifically, we determine the minimum Byzantine effort required to manipulate the sample distribution in the testing stage to given Byzantine sample distributions. Then, we derived the optimal and near-optimal Byzantine sample distributions subject to a fixed compromising effort. Additionally, a closed-form expression of optimal weights for FL is obtained, via which a connection between the optimal weights and those obtained from the FL training can be established. Through numerical experiments, we confirm the effectiveness of the proposed probabilistic Byzantine attack, which can serve as a good test to anti-attack defense strategies.","PeriodicalId":13330,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing","volume":"73 ","pages":"1823-1838"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143884593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The problem of interest is formulated as the minimization of the total transmit power of the BSs, subject to all users’ signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) constraints and all BSs’ fronthaul rate constraints. In this paper, we first show that there is no duality gap between the considered joint optimization problem and its Lagrangian dual by showing the tightness of its semidefinite relaxation (SDR). Then, we propose an efficient algorithm based on the above duality result for solving the considered problem. The proposed algorithm judiciously exploits the special structure of an enhanced Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions of the considered problem and approaches the solution that satisfies the enhanced KKT conditions via two fixed point iterations. Two key features of the proposed algorithm are: (1) it is able to detect whether the considered problem is feasible or not and find its globally optimal solution when it is feasible; (2) it is highly efficient because both of the fixed point iterations in the proposed algorithm are linearly convergent and function evaluations in the fixed point iterations are computationally cheap.

It is assumed that both the causal topology and the distribution of interventions are unknown.

Numerical results suggest that this method has a much lower sample complexity relative to the prior art by learning <italic>sub-graphs</i>. However, we note that a sample complexity analysis for the new algorithm has not been undertaken, as of yet. Under the assumption of minimum-mean squared error weight estimation, a new uncertainty bound tailored to the causal bandit problem is derived. This uncertainty bound drives an upper confidence bound-based intervention selection to optimize the reward. Further, we consider a particular instance of non-stationary bandits wherein both the causal topology and interventional distributions can change. Our solution is the design of a sub-graph change detection mechanism that requires a modest number of samples. Numerical results compare the new methodology to existing schemes and show a substantial performance improvement in stationary and non-stationary settings.

However, the joint optimization of user selection and hybrid precoder/decoder design remains challenging due to the complexity introduced by spatial correlation, noisy channel information, and the non-convex nature of the problem. This paper addresses these challenges by considering the downlink of multi-user massive MIMO systems. A noisy version of channel information with spatial correlation between antennas is assumed to be available at the transmitter, and an optimization problem is formulated for joint user selection and hybrid analog/digital precoder design. The total sum rate of the network is considered as a design metric that leads to non-convex and NP-hard mixed-integer optimization. To address the non-convexity, an iterative method is proposed which results in multiple simpler bounding and relaxed convex sub-problems with closed-form solutions for analog precoders/decoders, digital decoders, and user selection. As a by-product, the proposed algorithm also optimizes the number of selected users with perfect or imperfect channel state information (CSI). A generalized user selection metric is also derived for massive MIMO systems with multiple-antenna users under both perfect and imperfect CSI, and is further analyzed for specific scenarios such as ZF, MRT, block diagonalized precoders, and large-scale MIMO settings. Finally, the method is extended to finite-resolution phase shifters and assessed for Rayleigh fading channels. The simulation results show that the proposed method performs favorably compared to other recent joint user selection and precoder designs.","PeriodicalId":13330,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing","volume":"73 ","pages":"1808-1822"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143857629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also incorporates an adaptive <inline-formula><tex-math>$ell_{1}$</tex-math></inline-formula>-norm penalty term, which enables the selection of relevant variables and reduces the bias associated with large true regression coefficients. More specifically, this adaptive <inline-formula><tex-math>$ell_{1}$</tex-math></inline-formula>-norm penalty term assigns a weight to each regression coefficient. For a fixed number of predictors <inline-formula><tex-math>$ p $</tex-math></inline-formula>, we show that the adaptive <inline-formula><tex-math>$tau$</tex-math></inline-formula>-Lasso has the oracle property, ensuring both variable-selection consistency and asymptotic normality under fairly mild conditions.

While a multi-BS collaborative ISAC system offers substantial improvements in sensing accuracy, mutual interference among BSs introduces a critical issue for implementation. In this work, we model the mutual interference in the process of multi-BS collaborative sensing and investigate the impact of these interferences on sensing accuracy across different modulation schemes. Based on this, we present a decoupled mean filtering (DMF) algorithm to mitigate interference, which performs effectively at low signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratios (SINRs) but shows limited effectiveness at high SINRs. Consequently, we propose an enhanced DMF integrated with the phase rotation precoding (PRP) tailored to various modulation types.
