Abstract

This paper analyzes the spectral efficiency of massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems in both centralized and distributed configurations, referred to as C-MIMO and D-MIMO, respectively. By accounting for real environmental parameters and antenna characteristics, namely, path loss, shadowing effect, multi-path fading and antenna correlation, a novel comprehensive channel model is first proposed in closed-form, which is applicable to both types of MIMO schemes. Then, based on the proposed model, the asymptotic behavior of the spectral efficiency of the MIMO channel under both the centralized and distributed configurations is analyzed and compared in exact forms, by exploiting the theory of very long random vectors. Afterwards, a case study is performed by applying the obtained results into MIMO networks with circular coverage. In such a case, it is attested that for the D-MIMO of cell radius $r_{\mathrm{c}}$ and circular antenna array of radius~$r_{\mathrm{a}}$, the optimal value of~$r_{\mathrm{a}}$ that maximizes the average spectral efficiency is accurately established by $r_{\mathrm{a}}^{\mathrm{opt}}=r_{\mathrm{c}}/1.31$. Monte Carlo simulation results corroborate the developed spectral-efficiency analysis.

Fundamental Scaling Laws of Covert Communication in the Presence of Block Fading

Covert communication is the undetected transmission of sensitive information over a communication channel. In wireless communication systems, channel impairments such as signal fading present challenges in the effective implementation and analysis of covert communication systems. This paper generalizes early work in the covert communication field by considering asymptotic results for the number of bits that can be covertly transmitted in $n$ channel uses on a block fading channel. Critical to the investigation is characterizing the performance of optimal detectors at the adversary. Matching achievable and converse results are presented.

Sequence Reconstruction over the Deletion Channel

In this paper, we consider the Levenshtein's sequence reconstruction problem in the case where the transmitted codeword is chosen from $\{0,1\}^n$ and the channel can delete up to $t$ symbols from the transmitted codeword. We determine the minimum number of channel outputs (assuming that they are distinct) required to reconstruct a list of size $\ell-1$ of candidate sequences, one of which corresponds to the original transmitted sequence. More specifically, we determine the maximum possible size of the intersection of $\ell \geq 3$ deletion balls of radius $t$ centered at $x_1, x_2, \dots, x_{\ell}$, where $x_i \in \{0,1\}^n$ for all $i \in \{1,2,\dots,\ell\}$ and $x_i \neq x_j$ for $i \neq j$, with $ n \geq t+\ell-1$ and $t \geq 1$.

A generalization of the map $χ$

The mapping $ χ_n:\mathbb{F}_2^n \to \mathbb{F}_2^n$ defined by $y=χ_n(x)$ with $y_i = x_i + x_{i+1}x_{i+2} + x_{i+2}$, where the indices are computed modulo $n$, has been widely studied for its application in lightweight cryptography. In this paper, we generalize this mapping and completely characterize all these shift-invariant permutations of the form $y_i=x_{i+u}+x_{i+v}(x_{i+w}+a_i)$, where $0\le u, v, w<n$ and $a_i\in \mathbb{F}_2$, $1\le i\le n$.
