Abstract

For enhancing transmission performance, privacy level and energy manipulating efficiency of wireless networks, this paper initiates a novel simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) full-duplex (FD) relaying protocol, termed harvest-and-opportunistically-relay (HOR). In the proposed HOR protocol, the relay can work opportunistically in either pure energy harvesting (PEH) or the FD SWIPT mode. Due to the FD characteristics, the dynamic fluctuation of R's residual energy is difficult to quantify and track. To solve this problem, we apply a novel discrete-state Markov Chain (MC) method in which the practical finite-capacity energy storage is considered. Furthermore, to improve the privacy level of the proposed HOR relaying system, covert transmission performance analysis is developed and investigated, where closed-form expressions of optimal detection threshold and minimum detection error probability are derived. Last but not least, with the aid of stationary distribution of the MC, closed-form expression of transmission outage probability is calculated, based on which transmission outage performance is analyzed. Numerical results have validated the correctness of analyses on transmission outage and covert communication. The impacts of key system parameters on the performance of transmission outage and covert communication are given and discussed. Based on mathematical analysis and numerical results, it is fair to say that the proposed HOR model is able to not only reliably enhance the transmission performance via smartly managing residual energy but also efficiently improve the privacy level of the legitimate transmission party via dynamically adjust the optimal detection threshold.

Multi-Carrier Rydberg Atomic Quantum Receivers with Enhanced Bandwidth Feature for Communication and Sensing

Rydberg atomic quantum receivers (RAQRs) have attracted significant attention in recent years due to their ultra-high sensitivity. Although capable of precisely detecting the amplitude and phase of weak signals, conventional RAQRs face inherent limitations in accurately receiving wideband RF signals, due to the discrete nature of atomic energy levels and their intrinsic instantaneous bandwidth constraints. These limitations hinder their direct application to multi-carrier communication and sensing. To address this issue, this paper proposes a multi-carrier Rydberg atomic quantum receiver (MC-RAQR) structure with five energy levels. We derive the amplitude and phase of the MC-RAQR and extract the baseband electrical signal for signal processing. In terms of multi-carrier communication and sensing, we analyze the channel capacity and accuracy of angle of arrival (AoA) and distance parameters, respectively. Numerical results validate our proposed model, showing that the MC-RAQR can achieve up to a bandwidth of 11.7 MHz, which is 17-fold larger than the conventional RAQRs. As a result, the channel capacity and the resolution for multi-target sensing are improved significantly. Specifically, the channel capacity of MC-RAQR is 110-fold and 2.8-fold larger than the classical RF receivers and RAQRs, respectively. For sensing performance, the RMSE of AoA estimation for MC-RAQR exhibits 7.6-fold reduction, compared with the conventional RAQRs. Furthermore, the RMSE of distance estimation is $634$-fold smaller than that of the root-CRB of classical RF receivers, showing the superior performance of the MC-RAQR. This demonstrates its compatibility with waveforms such as orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) and its significant advantages for multi-carrier signal reception.

Channel Estimation in MIMO Systems Aided by Microwave Linear Analog Computers (MiLACs)

Microwave linear analog computers (MiLACs) have recently emerged as a promising solution for future gigantic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, enabling beamforming with greatly reduced hardware and computational cost. However, channel estimation for MiLAC-aided systems remains an open problem. Conventional least squares (LS) and minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimation rely on intensive digital computation, which undermines the computational advantage offered by MiLACs. In this letter, we propose efficient LS and MMSE channel estimation schemes for MiLAC-aided MIMO systems. By designing the training precoder and combiner implemented by lossless and reciprocal MiLACs, the proposed schemes perform LS and MMSE estimation in the analog domain, leaving only simple digital scaling. They achieve identical estimation performance to their digital counterparts while significantly reducing computational complexity. Numerical results verify the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.

Joint Subcarrier Phase Recovery for Nonlinearity Mitigation

We propose a low-complexity phase recovery scheme that simultaneously mitigates laser phase noise and fiber nonlinearity across several subcarriers. In a long single-span link with Raman amplification, the scheme achieves 0.9 dB gain with 99 real multiplications per complex symbol.
