Abstract

In this paper, we study the spectral efficiency (SE) of a multi-cell massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system with a spatially correlated Rician channel. The correlation between least squares (LS) estimator and its error complicates SE analysis, since signal and interference components become cross-correlated, too. Minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimators do not suffer from this burden. In some previous works, a proper part of the signal is referred to interference, which makes them cross-uncorrelated, and leads to an SE lower bound. In our modified approach, we extract and refer the cross-correlated part of interference to the signal to attain this objective. Here, we use this approach for calculating the instantaneous SE of maximum ratio combining (MRC) detector under LS and MMSE estimation methods. We also derive closed-form approximations of their ergodic SE. This approach is also applicable to other linear channel estimators or data detectors. Numerical results show that achievable SE surpasses that of the previous approach. They also show that our approximation is close enough to Monte Carlo simulation results, especially at the high number of the base station (BS) antennas.

Bistatic Target Detection by Exploiting Both Deterministic Pilots and Unknown Random Data Payloads

Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) plays a crucial role in 6G, to enable innovative applications such as drone surveillance, urban air mobility, and low-altitude logistics. However, the hybrid ISAC signal, which comprises deterministic pilot and random data payload components, poses challenges for target detection due to two reasons: 1) these two components cause coupled shifts in both the mean and variance of the received signal, and 2) the random data payloads are typically unknown to the sensing receiver in the bistatic setting. Unfortunately, these challenges could not be tackled by existing target detection algorithms. In this paper, a generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT)-based detector is derived, by leveraging the known deterministic pilots and the statistical characteristics of the unknown random data payloads. Due to the analytical intractability of exact performance characterization, we perform an asymptotic analysis for the false alarm probability and detection probability of the proposed detector. The results highlight a critical trade-off: both deterministic and random components improve detection reliability, but the latter also brings statistical uncertainty that hinders detection performance. Simulations validate the theoretical findings and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed detector, which highlights the necessity of designing a dedicated detector to fully exploited the signaling resources assigned to random data payloads.

On Unbiased Parameter Estimation and Signal Reconstruction

In this paper, we extend the theory of depth-unbiased source localization to unbiased parameter estimation and signal reconstruction for an arbitrary number of non-zero parameters. The topic touches on exact reconstructibility, most commonly studied in compressed sensing and multisource estimation across various imaging problems. The theoretical results derive upper bounds on the number of recoverable parameters in the noiseless case, and define a probability measure to assess the likelihood of recovering all non-zero parameters with correct magnitude order. The work provides a mathematical explanation of the open question regarding the noise robustness of standardized and unbiased methods. The paper also reveals a trade-off between the number of sensors and the signal-to-noise ratio. Numerical experiments demonstrate the theoretical findings.

Minimum enclosing Bregman balls made easy

In this work, we revisit the problem of computing minimum enclosing Bregman balls (Bregman MEBs) of finite sets of parameters. First, we show that Bregman MEBs are equivalent to MEBs of corresponding weighted point sets with respect to the power distance. We then report an efficient Frank--Wolfe $(1+ε)$-approximation algorithm for computing power MEBs, for any $ε>0$. This power MEB approximation algorithm coincides with the Bregman MEB approximation algorithm of Nock and Nielsen (2005) when expressed in the dual gradient space. Finally, we show that the Bregman potential lifting transforms used to construct Bregman Voronoi diagrams can be reinterpreted as the classical paraboloid lifting transform applied to corresponding weighted point sets. In particular, Bregman MEB circumcenters lie on the farthest Bregman Voronoi diagrams or equivalently on the corresponding farthest power diagrams.
