Phase Shift Keying on the Hypersphere: Peak Power-Efficient MIMO Communications

Abstract

Phase Shift Keying on the Hypersphere (PSKH), a generalization of conventional Phase Shift Keying (PSK) for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems, is introduced. In PSKH, constellation points are distributed on a multidimensional hypersphere. The use of such constellations with a Peak-To-Average-Sum-Power-Ratio (PASPR) of 1 allows to use load-modulated transmitters which can cope with a small backoff, which in turn results in a high power efficiency. In this paper, we discuss several methods how to generate PSKH constellations and compare their performance. After applying conventional Pulse-Amplitude Modulation (PAM), the PASPR of the continuous time PSKH signal depends on the choice of the pulse shaping method. This choice also influences bandwidth and power efficiency of a PSKH system. In order to reduce the PASPR of the continuous transmission signal, we use spherical interpolation to generate a smooth signal over the hypersphere and present corresponding receiver techniques. Additionally, complexity reduction techniques are proposed and compared. Finally, we discuss the methods presented in this paper regarding their trade-offs with respect to PASPR, bandwidth, power efficiency and receiver complexity.

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 $a_i\in \mathbb{F}_2$, $1\le i\le n$.
