Specifically, its reflection phase and operating frequency band are controlled by changing a reverse bias voltage applied to a varactor diode mounted on the unit cell. Moreover, the proposed VDMM structure reduces frequency dependency in each operating frequency band by introducing multiple vias into the meta-surface. As a result, the 1-bit RAA with the proposed VDMM structure can adaptively control the reflection direction and operating frequency band.","PeriodicalId":54101,"journal":{"name":"IEICE Communications Express","volume":"15 6","pages":"186-189"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11435617","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148433282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve this, not only increased bandwidth but also improved frequency utilization efficiency through MIMO spatial multiplexing is required. However, in environments with a limited number of multipath components, the effectiveness of conventional MIMO is restricted. To address this limitation, we evaluated distributed MIMO as an extension of hybrid MIMO. The results show that, in both office and factory environments, distributed MIMO with two access points improves channel capacity by approximately 1.7 to 1.8 times compared with a single access point. These findings demonstrate that distributed MIMO effectively enhances spatial multiplexing under conditions with few multipath components.","PeriodicalId":54101,"journal":{"name":"IEICE Communications Express","volume":"15 6","pages":"210-213"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11481635","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148433309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed scheme improves network utilization while reducing the number of deployed optical wavelength converters, thereby lowering the associated investment cost.

However, conventional threshold-based pulse detection suffers from pulse loss, false detection, and the need for careful parameter tuning, especially under low-SNR conditions. This letter proposes a machine learning (ML)-based pulse detection method for chirp spread spectrum-based APCMA. The proposed method is implemented on a GNU Radio/USRP receiver in the 920 MHz band, and its performance is evaluated in high-attenuation wired environments and large-scale wireless experiments.

In recent years, sensor devices have been used in various fields, but the difficulty of replacing the batteries of devices has become an issue. Energy-harvesting antennas are one solution to this problem, and such antennas require quasi-isotropic properties. The quasi-isotropic planar antenna proposed in this study had its dimensions determined through optimization, but this prevented a thorough examination of its radiation characteristics. This study performed CMA analysis on the antenna, revealing for the first time that quasi-isotropy is achieved when two characteristic modes complement each other's insensitivity directions. Furthermore, parameter studies using CMA confirmed that quasi-isotropy is established when the Mode Significance (MS) difference between the two dominant modes and the radiation pattern are in equilibrium.","PeriodicalId":54101,"journal":{"name":"IEICE Communications Express","volume":"15 6","pages":"194-197"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11435590","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148433316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
