However, its representation ability is still limited, particularly for representing fine details and complex textures. To break this limitation, we propose deep fully-connected tensor network (D-FCTN) decomposition with a powerful representation ability beyond FCTN decomposition. Specifically, D-FCTN decomposition consists of two pivotal building blocks: the intrinsic low-rank representation block and the deep transform block. In the intrinsic low-rank representation block, we use FCTN decomposition to capture the all-mode correlations in the low-dimensional latent space, which implicitly regularizes the recovered signal. In the deep transform block, the latent space is transformed to the original signal space by leveraging a deep neural network due to its mighty expressive capability. The intrinsic low-rank representation boosted by the deep transform is expected to deliver a more powerful representation ability for recovering multi-dimensional signals beyond FCTN decomposition. To examine the representation ability of D-FCTN decomposition, we suggest an unsupervised D-FCTN decomposition-based multi-dimensional signal recovery model.

To tackle these challenges, we propose a novel Time-Frequency domain Learning Model (TFLM) for underwater acoustic signal reconstruction. TFLM decomposes the distorted signal into trend and seasonal components for reconstruction. The trend components are reconstructed using an enhanced Long Short-Term Memory (En- LSTM) that effectively captures long-term temporal features. For the seasonal components, a multi-layer encoder–decoder architecture is utilized to extract local features and address seasonal fluctuations.

To handle this issue, a novel reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-enabled gridless DoA estimation system for NLoS scenarios is proposed, where the RIS establishes a virtual LoS link between the base station and targets. First, considering the minable statistics of the signal, the RIS-enabled signal model in the covariance domain with a limited number of receiving antennas is proposed to help reduce resource consumption. Next, we estimate the noise variance by constraining the Frobenius norm of the measurement error matrix to enhance the robustness to noise. Then, we reconstruct the Hermitian Toeplitz matrix by addressing the atom norm minimization (ANM) problem on the covariance-noiseless matrix. To reduce the computation, an efficient iterative approach is designed via the alternating direction method of multipliers. Furthermore, this system’s Cramér–Rao lower bound is derived, which is further exploited as the DoA estimation’s reference bound.
