The interaction between delay-Doppler channel and OTFS symbols allows a linear scaling of capacity with the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) order and simultaneously enables significant spectral efficiency improvements over traditional multicarrier modulations such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). In this paper, we investigate the use of spatial modulation (SM) in MIMO-OTFS systems. With the structure of SM-OTFS, the overall spectral efficiency is increased by the base-two logarithm of the number of transmit antennas at least. We demonstrate that such an SM-OTFS system can achieve a higher spectral efficiency than space-time coded OTFS (STC-OTFS) while demand a lower detection complexity. Extensive simulations are carried out under various delay and Doppler conditions, our simulation results demonstrate significant performance gains of SM-OTFS compared to STC-OTFS with various MIMO settings.","PeriodicalId":335240,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC Workshops)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129129797","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 further reduce the hardware cost, the hybrid analog-digital (HAD) beamforming problem on DFRC system is investigated in this paper. Specifically, the problem is to maximize the SINR of radar receiver under the non-convex individual SINR constraints of communication users (CUs) while guaranteeing the constant modulus constraints of analog beamformer. To solve this problem, we propose an iteration algorithm, which optimizes digital and analog beamformer iteratively. Both digital and analog beamforming designs are formulated as non-convex quadratically constrained quadratic programs (QCQPs), and we use semidefinite relaxation (SDR) and feasible point pursuit successive convex approximation (FPP-SCA) techniques to solve them respectively. Finally, we evaluate the proposed algorithm by numerical simulations, which show that the performance of the proposed hybrid beamforming design is close to that of the full-digital beamforming.","PeriodicalId":335240,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC Workshops)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129836093","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 traditional feature-based methods work poorly in such scenarios, resurgent artificial neural networks are gaining more attentions in the area of automatic modulation classification. Deep learning, however, demands large amount of training data for good recognition performance. To address the problem of insufficient training data, we propose to adopt the channel replay technique. With this technique, channel realizations with the same statistical characteristics as the measured underwater acoustic channel, can be generated as much as one needs. Training and validation data sets can then be generated with the replayed channels. A residual network (ResNet) is adopted to achieve simultaneously feature extraction and modulation recognition. It is shown the proposed ResNet not only classifies artificial test data but also experimental data collected in an at-sea UWA communication trail.","PeriodicalId":335240,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC Workshops)","volume":"49 8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131187409","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}

Existing resource allocation algorithms such as quality of service (QoS) based and quality of experience (QoE) based algorithms, respectively prone to optimize network performance and user experience, are no longer applicable to semantic understanding tasks. Furthermore, a recently proposed semantics based algorithm exclusively considers vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) video transmission tasks, regardless of the practical vehicular networks scenarios. To tackle the challenges above, we propose a video semantics based resource allocation model under the vehicle moving and spectrum multiplexing scenarios. On the ground of the time-dependent environment and diverse needs, multi-agent reinforcement learning, which peculiarly owns sequential decision and reward mechanism, is employed to obtain the optimal resource allocation scheme.
