摘要:In the future 6G network, machine-type communication will dominate the network traffic.Many vertical applications, such as networked autonomous driving and industrial internet of things, will become new growth points.Such applications usually consist of the collection of status information and distribution of control signals, requiring ultra-low latency.However, this requirement is hard to meet with a large number of end nodes and limited communication resources.In view of this confliction, it was pointed out that the freshness of information should be considered in the status update system instead of just latency.Furthermore, according to the degree of utilization of status information, various measures of information freshness were introduced, and related representative work was summarized.Finally, the future research directions of information freshness and key questions that need to be answered were discussed.
摘要:As a key technology of 5G, massive MIMO system can significantly improve spectrum efficiency and energy efficiency by equipping a large number of antennas in base stations.However, in massive MIMO system, accurate channel estimation faces severe challenges.In order to estimate the channel accurately when the pilot sequence length is smaller than the number of transmitting antennas and the channel noise is strong, the estimation method N2N-GAN was proposed.N2N-GAN firstly denoised the pilot channel at the receiving end, and then used the conditional generative adversarial network to estimate the channel matrix according to the denoised pilot signal.Simulation experiments show that N2N-GAN achieves better robustness against noise compared with traditional channel estimation algorithms and deep learning-based methods.Meanwhile, it can adapt to scenarios with fewer pilot symbols and more antennas.
摘要:A typical sparse code multiple access (SCMA) system utilizes orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technology with cyclic prefix (CP) to combat multipath fading in wireless channels.Therefore, its capacity is reduced by the CP-insertion.To address this issue, the SCMA scheme based on CP-free OFDM using the time domain precoding (TDP) algorithm was proposed and the proposed scheme was termed as TDP-OFDM SCMA.The transceiver structure was designed, and the capacity plus the bit error rate (BER) performances under various channels with different overload rates and with channel estimation errors were evaluated via the simulations.Also, the power consumption problem in TDP-OFDM SCMA was discussed.The simulation results show that under the same overload rate, the capacity of TDP-OFDM SCMA can be increased by up to 25% if compared with the SCMA based on CP-OFDM.

摘要:A secure transmission method was proposed based on cooperative jamming to reduce the secrecy loss caused by the correlation between main and wiretap channels and to improve the secrecy.Considering that the existing methods of cooperative jamming focused on the case of independent main and wiretap channels, the achievable secrecy performance was not satisfactory.In view of this, a cooperative jamming method for correlated main and wiretap channels was proposed.Based on the model of cooperative jamming under correlated main and wiretap channels, the secrecy rate maximization under secrecy outage constraint was formulated.Then, the norm bounding approach and the Bernstein-type inequality approach were employed to approximately transform the probabilistic constraint into a deterministic form, and a safe approximate solution of beamforming vector and AN covariance matrix was obtained.Simulation results show that the proposed method can reduce the secrecy loss under high correlation.
摘要:At present, there is almost no design on information transmission between the nodes in wireless powered communication network.The high-throughput information transmission between the nodes in backscatter assisted wireless powered communication network was studied.A scheme was proposed which consisted of backscattering/energy transmission phase and active communication phase.The maximum throughput was modeled as a convex optimization problem.Then, based on the relationship between the total backscatter communication duration and the threshold of node energy capture duration, the problem was decomposed into several sub problems that only need to optimize two backscatter durations.An efficient two-level golden section search algorithm was designed to solve the sub problems, and the optimal solution of the original problem was obtained from the optimal solutions of the sub problems.Simulation results show that, compared with pure active communication scheme and pure backscatter communication scheme, the proposed scheme can effectively improve the throughput.
