Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer Under Different CSI Acquisition Schemes

Abstract

In this work, we consider a multiple-input single-output system in which an access point (AP) performs a simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) to serve a user terminal (UT) that is not equipped with external power supply. In order to assess the efficacy of the SWIPT, we target a practically relevant scenario characterized by imperfect channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter, the presence of penalties associated to the CSI acquisition procedures, and non-zero power consumption for the operations performed by the UT, such as CSI estimation, uplink signaling and data decoding. We analyze three different cases for the CSI knowledge at the AP: no CSI, and imperfect CSI in case of time-division duplexing and frequency-division duplexing communications. Closed-form representations of the ergodic downlink rate and both the energy shortage and data outage probability are derived for the three cases. Additionally, analytic expressions for the ergodically optimal duration of power transfer and channel estimation/feedback phases are provided. Our numerical findings verify the correctness of our derivations, and also show the importance and benefits of CSI knowledge at the AP in SWIPT systems, albeit imperfect and acquired at the expense of the time available for the information transfer.

Efficient and rate-optimal list-decoding in the presence of minimal feedback

Given a channel with length-$n$ inputs and outputs over the alphabet $\{0,1,\ldots,q-1\}$, and of which a fraction $\varrho \in (0,1-1/q)$ of symbols can be arbitrarily corrupted by an adversary, a fundamental problem is that of communicating at rates close to the information-theoretically optimal values, while ensuring the receiver can infer that the transmitter's message is from a ``small" set. While the existence of such codes is known, and constructions with computationally tractable encoding/decoding procedures are known for large $q$, we provide the first schemes that attain this performance for any $q \geq 2$, as long as low-rate feedback (asymptotically negligible relative to the number of transmissions) from the receiver to the transmitter is available. For any sufficiently small $\varepsilon > 0$ and $\varrho \in (1-{1}/{q}-Θ(\sqrt{\varepsilon}))$ our minimal feedback scheme has the following parameters: Rate $1-H_q(\varrho) - \varepsilon$ (i.e., $\varepsilon$-close to information-theoretically optimal -- here $H_q(\varrho)$ is the $q$-ary entropy function), list-size $\exp\left(\mathcal{O}\left(\varepsilon^{-3/2}\log^2(1/\varepsilon)\right)\right)$, computational complexity of encoding/decoding $n^{\mathcal{O}(\varepsilon^{-1}\log(1/\varepsilon))}$, storage complexity $\mathcal{O}(n^{η+1}\log n)$ for a code design parameter $η>1$ that trades off storage complexity with the probability of error. The error probability is $\mathcal{O}(n^{-η})$, and the (vanishing) feedback rate is $\mathcal{O}({1}/{\sqrt{\log(n)}})$. Our full-feedback scheme has zero probability of error and minimal storage complexity, while the other parameters are the same as the vanishing rate feedback scheme.

On Cost-Aware Designs for Sequential Hypothesis Testing

We introduce Cost-Aware (CA) Sequential Hypothesis Testing (CASHT), in which an active decision-maker selects sensing actions with different, random costs to identify the true hypothesis under an average-error constraint $δ$, while minimizing the expected total cost (rather than the number of samples). For fixed costs, we prove that the optimal expected total cost scales as $Θ(\log(1/δ))$, and is achievable by Multihypothesis Sequential Probability Ratio Test-based procedures. We show that the CA design principle is to maximize the ratio of expected information gain to expected cost under the policy-induced action distribution. Guided by this principle, we adapt two classic policies to the CA setting and establish their asymptotic optimality. We then treat random costs under two revelation models: ex-post, where costs are disclosed only after a sample is obtained, and the cost-error tradeoff coincides with the fixed-cost case, and ex-ante, where costs accrue before acquisition, and the decision maker may cancel an action mid-operation. For the ex-ante model, we characterize when cancellation lowers the total cost and analyze several cost distributions in detail. Simulations confirm our findings that the CA variants consistently reduce total cost relative to their classic counterparts, and when action cancellation helps or hurts.

Construction of Multi-sequences With High Nonlinear Complexity via Narrow Ray Class Fields

Nonlinear complexity is a fundamental criterion in the evaluation of pseudorandom sequences. The construction of multi-sequences with high nonlinear complexity is both theoretically and practically important in cryptography. Motivated by prior constructions of multi-sequences with high nonlinear complexity in [IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory, 60(10), 2014] and [IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory, 63(12), 2017], we provide a unified framework via narrow ray class fields and the cyclic descent introduced by Guruswami and Xing in [J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 129 (2015) ]. Then we can generate new multi-sequences with high nonlinear complexity over function fields with arbitrary genera.
