{"title":"A Primer on Near-Field Communications for Next-Generation Multiple Access","authors":"Chongjun Ouyang;Zhaolin Wang;Yan Chen;Xidong Mu;Peiying Zhu","doi":"10.1109/JPROC.2024.3436513","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/JPROC.2024.3436513","url":null,"abstract":"Multiple-antenna technologies are advancing toward the development of extremely large aperture arrays and the utilization of extremely high frequencies, driving the progress of next-generation multiple access (NGMA). This evolution is accompanied by the emergence of near-field communications (NFCs), characterized by spherical-wave propagation, which introduces additional range dimensions to the channel and enhances system throughput. In this context, a tutorial-based primer on NFC is presented, emphasizing its applications in multiuser communications and multiple access (MA). The following areas are investigated: 1) the commonly used near-field channel models are reviewed along with their simplifications under various near-field conditions; 2) building upon these models, the information-theoretic capacity limits of NFC-MA are analyzed, including the derivation of the sum-rate capacity and capacity region, and their upper limits for both downlink and uplink scenarios; and 3) a detailed investigation of near-field multiuser beamforming design is presented, offering low-complexity and effective NFC-MA design methodologies in both the spatial and wavenumber (angular) domains. Throughout these investigations, near-field MA is compared with its far-field counterpart to highlight its superiority and flexibility in terms of interference management, thereby laying the groundwork for achieving NGMA.","PeriodicalId":20556,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE","volume":"112 9","pages":"1527-1565"},"PeriodicalIF":23.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142798051","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}

Every decade, the global community ratifies a new generation of cellular standards relying on advances from the past decades; a similar rhythm drives Wi-Fi standardization. In all standards, cellular and Wi-Fi, a core design principle is that wireless nodescan either transmit or receive in a given frequency band. However, a node cannot simultaneously transmit and receive in the same frequency band due to high self-interference from its own transmitted signal that can drown out the receive signal. As a result, to enable bidirectional communications between nodes, network designs have relied on partitioning time and frequency using a mix of time-division duplex and frequency-division duplex. In short, wireless designs have not considered in-band full duplex (IBFD) as a building block.","PeriodicalId":20556,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE","volume":"112 5","pages":"402-404"},"PeriodicalIF":23.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10640271","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142013268","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}

This article presents an overview of how AI/ML and wireless communications interact synergistically to improve system performance and provides useful tips and tricks on realizing such performance gains when training AI/ML models. In particular, we discuss in detail the use of AI/ML to revolutionize key physical layer and lower medium access control (MAC) layer functionalities in traditional wireless communication systems. In addition, we provide a comprehensive overview of the AI/ML-enabled semantic communication systems, including key techniques from data generation to transmission. We also investigate the role of AI/ML as an optimization tool to facilitate the design of efficient resource allocation algorithms in wireless communication networks at both bit and semantic levels. Finally, we analyze major challenges and roadblocks in applying AI/ML in practical wireless system design and share our thoughts and insights on potential solutions.","PeriodicalId":20556,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE","volume":"112 7","pages":"621-652"},"PeriodicalIF":23.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10639525","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142022128","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}

For example, a robot leg is able to exert very little control effort, while it is in the air compared to when it is on the ground. When the leg hits the ground, the penetrating velocity instantaneously collapses to zero. These instantaneous changes in dynamics and discontinuities (or jumps) in state make standard smooth tools for planning, estimation, control, and learning difficult for hybrid systems. One of the key tools for accounting for these jumps is called the saltation matrix. The saltation matrix is the sensitivity update when a hybrid jump occurs and has been used in a variety of fields, including robotics, power circuits, and computational neuroscience. This article presents an intuitive derivation of the saltation matrix and discusses what it captures, where it has been used in the past, how it is used for linear and quadratic forms, how it is computed for rigid body systems with unilateral constraints, and some of the structural properties of the saltation matrix in these cases.","PeriodicalId":20556,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE","volume":"112 6","pages":"585-608"},"PeriodicalIF":23.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142007272","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}
