In this scenario, we investigate the case wherein an UAV and a static TU are paired to simultaneously transmit their uplink signals to a ground base station (BS) in the same time-frequency resource blocks. The signal transmitted by the AU experiences both time dispersion due to multipath propagation effects and frequency dispersion caused by Doppler shifts, whereas the signal transmitted by the static TU is subject to multipath effects. To decode the superposed signals at the BS, we propose a novel sky-ground (SG) nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) receiving structure that additionally exploits the different circularity/noncircularity and almost-cyclostationarity properties of the AU and TU through time-varying successive interference cancellation.","PeriodicalId":141258,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124347293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As an essential part of the smart factory, industrial communication systems face rigorous challenges. On the one hand, many smart factory applications demand data delivery with ultra-high reliability within a very low end-to-end latency. On the other hand, new services place high demands on the flexibility and scalability of the communication system. Industry-standard organizations have embarked on research and proposed several potential solutions. The time-sensitive networking (TSN) task group has developed a series of ethernet-based standards to address issues such as time synchronization and traffic scheduling in industrial networks. Additionally, ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC) are supported by the 5th generation (5G) mobile communications technology. The combination of 5G and TSN technologies as a solution for industrial communication networks has received much attention, and many related studies have been conducted. In this paper, we investigate how to achieve low-latency communication in a 5G-TSN integrated network by considering non-real-time communication services with high throughput requirements. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach performs well in terms of reducing end-to-end latency and improving system throughput.","PeriodicalId":141258,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124430213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we investigate the transceiver beamforming design for a multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) DFRC system, where the dual functional base station (BS) simultaneously detects the multiple targets while communicating with multiple communication users. To this end, we first characterize the multi-fold tradeoffs between communication and radar sensing by defining an achievable performance region of the proposed DFRC system. The performance of communication and radar sensing are characterized by their signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratios (SINRs), and then the multi-objective optimization problem is formulated to maximize the SINRs of all communication users and radar sensing echoes (from targets) via optimizing beamforming matrix.

Then, the inherent scaling ambiguity and angle ambiguity of the mmWave cascaded channel are utilized to construct an ambiguous common RIS-BS channel composed of the estimated correlation factors.

Specifically, we apply a recently introduced Gaussian mixture model (GMM)-based algorithm in order to estimate uplink channels stemming from a measurement campaign. For this estimator, there is an initial (offline) training phase, where a GMM is fitted onto given channel (training) data. Thereafter, the fitted GMM is used for (online) channel estimation. Our experiments suggest that the GMM estimator learns the intrinsic characteristics of a given base station's whole radio propagation environment. Essentially, this ambient information is captured due to universal approximation properties of the initially fitted GMM. For a large enough number of GMM components, the GMM estimator was shown to approximate the (unknown) mean squared error (MSE)-optimal channel estimator arbitrarily well. In our experiments, the GMM estimator shows significant performance gains compared to approaches that are not able to capture the ambient information. To validate the claim that ambient information is learnt, we generate synthetic channel data using a state-of-the-art channel simulator and train the GMM estimator once on these and once on the real data, and we apply the estimator once to the synthetic and once to the real data. We then observe how providing suitable ambient information in the training phase beneficially impacts the later channel estimation performance.","PeriodicalId":141258,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114550159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, the proposed model includes a multilevel semantic feature extractor, that extracts both the high-level semantic information, such as the text semantics and the segmentation semantics, and the low-level semantic information, such as local spatial details of the images. We employ a pret-rained image caption to capture the text semantics and a pre-trained image segmentation model to obtain the segmentation semantics. These high-level and low-level semantic features are then combined and encoded by a joint semantic and channel encoder into symbols to transmit over the physical channel.
