Data center top of rack switch to multiple spine switches optical wireless uplinks

Abstract

Infrared (IR) uplinks can achieve high data rates, which are essential in a range of applications. This paper introduces a novel approach to enable data centre uplink communication. We introduce a novel method to enable communication between racks and spine switches. In our proposed data centre, we consider three racks, each of which has its own angle diversity transmitter (ADT) that is located on top of the rack. Four wide field of view receivers are fixed to the ceiling of the data centre. Each such receiver is connected to a spine switch. We evaluate the performance of our proposed system when each link operates at a data rate above 2.8 Gb/s. Multiple links can be used to achieve higher data rates using the space or wavelength dimensions. The results show that our proposed system has the ability to work at a high data rate with good performance while using simple on-off-keying.

Circulant ADMM-Net for Fast High-resolution DoA Estimation

This paper introduces CADMM-Net and CHADMM-Net, two deep neural networks for direction of arrival estimation within the least-absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) framework. These two networks are based on a structured deep unfolding of the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) algorithm through the use of circulant as well as Hermitian-circulant matrices. Along with a computational complexity of $\mathcal{O}(N\log(N))$ per layer for the inference, where $N$ is the length of the dictionary $\mathbf{A}$, they additionally exhibit a memory footprint of $N$ and approximately half of $N$ for CADMMNet and CHADMM-Net, respectively, compared with $N^{2}$ for ADMM-Net. Furthermore, these structured networks exhibit a competitive performance against ADMM-Net, LISTA, TLISTA, and THLISTA with respect to the detection rate, the angular root-mean square error, and the normalized mean squared error.

BASIIS: Bistatic Angular Sampling and Interpolation for ISAC Setups

Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) is a defining feature of 6G, extending cellular networks with radar-like sensing at limited additional overhead. In bistatic deployments, sensing requires coordinating the transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) arrays to scan the Cartesian product of angle of departure and arrival, resulting in a four-dimensional sampling problem in the angular domain. This work establishes a complete angular sampling framework for bistatic ISAC, extending the DFT-based optimal-sampling methodology to the full azimuth and elevation domains of both arrays. We show that the bistatic geometry couples the TX and RX elevation angles, and represent this coupling through the ortho-baseline coarray, a virtual array that captures the joint elevation aperture of the array pair. From the coarray we derive a minimal sampling and interpolation scheme, near-lossless and realizable with any beamforming architecture. Monte Carlo simulations confirm the proposed minimal acquisition essentially equalizes the detection accuracy of dense oversampled imaging while acquiring 3 to 5 times fewer TX-RX direction pairs. This allows having bistatic operations with drastically reduced overhead on the radio resource usage of ISAC systems.

Centroid Angle Estimation of Multiple Scatterers Using Monopulse Radar with Frequency Diversity

The monopulse technique determines the angle of a target by comparing signals from two narrow beams, yielding a precise angular estimate with low complexity. However, it struggles to resolve multiple closely spaced scatterers within the same resolution cell. Existing methods for estimating multiple scatterer angles involve complex signal processing and system modifications. We propose an effective method to estimate the angular centroid of scatterers using the mode of monopulse angle estimates. A semi-analytic expression for the angle estimate distribution is derived, confirming that its mode aligns with the centroid. To enhance estimation accuracy, we employ frequency diversity to reduce sample correlation. Numerical results validate the advantages of the proposed method, demonstrating superior performance over conventional techniques with low complexity.
