A deep learning-based RFF recognition algorithm can achieve well recognition performance, but it needs many balanced samples to train the model. However, the problem of sample imbalance is widespread in RFF identification tasks, and the number of signal samples of illegal devices is minimal. Neural network models usually can't learn these minority representations well, which seriously affects the performance of RFF recognition. Many advanced algorithms proposed to alleviate the problem of data imbalance don't perform well in the task of RFF recognition because they ignore the characteristics of RFF signals. Therefore, an algorithm based on Random Railings Enhancement (RRE) is proposed in this paper, which fills the data set with random masks according to the signal values front and rear. RRE protects the original signal's information, effectively expands the rare dataset, and has the effect of data enhancement. The experimental results show that the RRE can improve the performance of Radio Frequency (RF) identification technology tasks in the case of imbalanced data sets.","PeriodicalId":259116,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125882879","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, the problem of low-cost system and low-complexity DOA estimation method are addressed. First, a low-cost intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) aided radar location system is developed, where only one fully functional receiving channel is adopted. Then, a novel nonconvex-based atomic norm minimization (NC-ANM) problem is formulated by exploiting the targets’ sparsity in the spatial domain to estimate the DOA more efficiently. After getting the DOA estimations, a multi-target location method is proposed.

However, as 1-bit quantization is a highly nonlinear operation standard channel estimation algorithms cannot be applied. Therefore, we study algorithms for channel estimation in receivers with 1-bit quantization under consideration of a two-wave with diffuse power (TWDP) fading channel model, which was shown to be a realistic model for indoor communications in the mmWave regime. We combine maximum-likelihood (ML) amplitude estimation with a least-squares (LS) phase estimation approach known from literature to estimate the fading channel based on blocks of pilot symbols periodically inserted into the transmit symbol sequence. Furthermore, we apply Wiener filtering for interpolation of the channel estimates at the data blocks. The estimation performance of the proposed algorithms is evaluated numerically in terms of the mean squared error (MSE) and the suitability of the approach is demonstrated by evaluating the coded block error rate (BLER) for an exemplary system in comparison to the case with perfect channel knowledge. Our results show that almost the same BLER can be achieved by utilizing the derived estimation approach as compared to a system with perfect channel knowledge.","PeriodicalId":259116,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129957401","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}

To efficiently serve some other use cases whose requirements lie in-between these main use cases, the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP), in Rel-17, introduce support for the reduced capability new radio (NR) devices known as RedCap with lower cost and complexity compared to legacy 5G devices. The considered complexity reduction techniques are associated with degraded link performance and coverage for the physical channels. Particularly, for the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), which requires careful consideration, the reduction of the user equipments’ (UEs) complexity and the associated coverage loss can lead to an increase in the PDCCH blocking probability. This, in turn, can impact either the latency or the network capacity depending on the scenario. In this paper, we investigate the PDCCH blocking probability metric for RedCap devices. Specifically, we evaluate the performance of blocking probability in terms of various parameters including the number of users, size of downlink control information, size of control resource set, and the number of PDCCH candidates. Our results demonstrate that the PDCCH blocking probability increases by reducing the number of antenna branches, the number of PDCCH candidates, control resource set, and by increasing the number of scheduled UEs. We also show that the impact of reducing the DCI size is marginal on the PDCCH blocking probability. Finally, we discuss potential solutions and design guidelines for reducing the PDCCH blocking probability.","PeriodicalId":259116,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130006778","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}

Although there already exist works studying this setup and proposing coded caching schemes to reduce transmission loads, two main problems are remained to address: 1) the optimal communication load R1 under the uncoded placement for the first layer is still unknown. 2) the previous schemes are based on Maddah-Ali and Niesen’s data placement and delivery, which require high subpacketization level. How to achieve a good tradeoff between transmission loads and subpacketization level for the hierarchical caching system is unclear. In this paper, we aim to address these two problems. We first propose a new combination structure named hierarchical placement delivery array (HPDA), which characterizes the data placement and delivery for a hierarchical caching system. Then we construct two classes of HPDAs, where the first class leads to a scheme achieving the optimal R1 for some cases, and the second class requires a smaller subpacketization level at the cost of slight increase in transmission loads.","PeriodicalId":259116,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129732745","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}

Spectrum sensing offers a convenient means for revealing such opportunities. Studies showed that usage of the spectrum has a high correlation over multi-dimensions, including time and frequency. However, multi-dimensional spectrum sensing requires high-cost processes. Applying compressive sensing allows for subNyquist sampling. This reduces associated training, feedback, and computation overheads of a spectrum sensing method. However, the accuracy of the signal sparsity assumption and knowledge of the precise sparsity level are necessary for the applicability of compressive sensing. It is common practice to assume a level of known sparsity. On the other hand, in reality, this presumption is incorrect. This paper proposes a method for estimating the multidimensional sparsity for spectrum sensing. By extrapolating it from its counterpart with respect to a compact discrete Fourier basis, the proposed method calculates the sparsity level over a dictionary. A machine learning estimation method achieves this inference. Extensive simulations validate a high-quality sparsity estimation. To validate this observation, real-world measurements are used, where one of the biggest Turkish telecom operators has private uplink bands in the frequency range between 852-856 MHz.","PeriodicalId":259116,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124620740","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 order to deal with the channel spread caused by fractional delay and Doppler frequency shift, and to make full use of channel sparsity in the delay Doppler (DD) domain, the channel response is estimated in the fractional DD domain. In the fractional DD domain, the channel state information (CSI) could be approximately represented by several impulse responses and their corresponding delay Doppler information. Thus, we do not process the whole responses corresponding to the entire DD domain, but find only several impulse responses iteratively. To alleviate the coupling effect between the fractional delay and Doppler dimension, mixed one- and two-dimensional (1&2D) fractional models are used, and then these models are combined in an optimization problem to get the final CSI. To further reduce the complexity, limited Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (L-BFGS) method is employed in this paper, thus resulting much reduced complexity, i.e., $mathcal{O}left( {lambda {M_0}{N_0}} right)$, compared with baseline schemes.

The proposed decoder first divides the received sequence into two subblocks. Then SCL is used to decode the upper subblock and output several candidates into the candidate list.
