Relying on a general capacity upper bound derived by using a maximum-trace argument, we respectively characterize the capacity slope of low-signal-to-noise-ratio channels and the exact capacity of rank-one channels, in which the optimal configuration of the RIS is proved to be beamforming-only with carefully-chosen phase shifts. To exploit the potential of modulating extra information on the RIS, by leveraging a strategy named partially beamforming and partially information-carrying based on QR decomposition and successive interference cancellation, we propose a novel transceiver architecture with only a single RF front end at the transmitter, by which the considered channel can be regarded as a concatenation of a vector Gaussian channel and several phase-modulated channels. Especially, we investigate a class of vector Gaussian channels with a hypersphere input support constraint, and not only generalize the existing result to arbitrary-dimensional real spaces but also present its high-order capacity asymptotics, by which both capacities of hypersphere-constrained channels and achievable rates of the proposed transceiver with two different signaling schemes can be well-approximated. Information-theoretic analyses show that the transceiver architecture designed for the SIMO channel has a boosted multiplexing gain, rather than one for the conventionally-used optimized beamforming scheme. Numerical results verify our derived asymptotic results and show notable superiority of the proposed transceiver as compared with the beamforming and the receive spatial modulation schemes.","PeriodicalId":13431,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications","volume":"23 11","pages":"17157-17173"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10705935","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142377339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In practice, DTs of physical devices, such as mobile users (MUs), are commonly deployed in multi-access edge computing (MEC) networks for the sake of reducing latency. To ensure the accuracy and fidelity of DTs, it is essential for MUs to regularly synchronize their status with their DTs. However, MU mobility introduces significant challenges to DT synchronization. Firstly, MU mobility triggers DT migration which could cause synchronization failures. Secondly, MUs require frequent synchronization with their DTs to ensure DT fidelity. Nonetheless, DT migration among MEC servers, caused by MU mobility, may occur infrequently. Accordingly, we propose a two-timescale DT synchronization and migration framework with reliability consideration by establishing a non-convex stochastic problem to minimize the long-term average energy consumption of MUs. We use Lyapunov theory to convert the reliability constraints and reformulate the new problem as a partially observable Markov decision-making process (POMDP). Furthermore, we develop a heterogeneous agent proximal policy optimization with Beta distribution (Beta-HAPPO) method to solve it. Numerical results show that our proposed Beta-HAPPO method achieves significant improvements in energy savings when compared with other benchmarks.","PeriodicalId":13431,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications","volume":"23 11","pages":"17294-17309"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142231238","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}

To reveal the impact of RIS and learning rate on FL aggregation, the theoretical result of minimum global communication rounds and local iteration rounds are derived. Based on the obtained convergence results of FL, we formulate an optimization problem to minimize the energy consumption of the proposed RIS-assisted FL system by jointly optimizing the passive beamforming of RIS, the CPU computing frequency, the bandwidth, and the transmit power of users. To solve the non-convex problem, we propose a block coordinate descent (BCD) optimization algorithm based on successive convex approximation (SCA) to decompose the original problem into four sub-problems. Specifically, the closed-form solutions are derived for the CPU frequency, RIS reflection matrix, and communication bandwidth. For the transmit power sub-problem, we propose a linear approximation algorithm based on the first-order Taylor expansion to ensure solution accuracy. Finally, simulation results show that: 1) the energy consumption of the proposed RIS-assisted FL system can be greatly reduced compared to that without optimizing the passive beamforming of RIS and the transmit power; 2) The learning performance of the proposed RIS-enabled FL system is closed to the FL without wireless communication interference; and 3) The proposed algorithm can not only significantly reduce energy consumption, but also fast convergence in terms of the FL model training and testing.","PeriodicalId":13431,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications","volume":"23 11","pages":"17384-17398"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142231236","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}

Specifically, the localization performance is measured by the Cramér-Rao bound (CRB) on the transmission delay and direction of arrival (DoA) of the backscattered signals, whose closed-form expression is obtained by deriving the corresponding Fisher information matrix (FIM), and the communication performance is characterized by the sum transmission rate of all BDs. Then, to characterize the trade-off between the localization and communication performances, the CRB minimization problem with the communication rate constraint is formulated, and is shown to be non-convex in general. By exploiting the hidden convexity, we propose an approach that combines fractional programming (FP) and Schur complement techniques to transform the original problem into an equivalent convex form. Finally, numerical results reveal the trade-off between the CRB and sum transmission rate achieved by our proposed method.","PeriodicalId":13431,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications","volume":"23 11","pages":"17310-17323"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142231240","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}
