Abstract

This work studies the net sum-rate performance of a distributed reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs)-assisted multi-user multiple-input-single-output (MISO) downlink communication system under imperfect instantaneous-channel state information (I-CSI) to implement precoding at the base station (BS) and statistical-CSI (S-CSI) to design the RISs phase-shifts. Two channel estimation (CE) protocols are considered for I-CSI acquisition: (i) a full CE protocol that estimates all direct and RISs-assisted channels over multiple training sub-phases, and (ii) a low-overhead direct estimation (DE) protocol that estimates the end-to-end channel in a single sub-phase. We derive the deterministic equivalents of signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and ergodic net sum-rate under Rayleigh and Rician fading and both CE protocols, for given RISs phase-shifts, which are then optimized based on S-CSI. Simulation results reveal that the low-complexity DE protocol yields better net sum-rate than the full CE protocol when used to obtain CSI for precoding. A benchmark full I-CSI based RISs design is also outlined and shown to yield higher SINR but lower net sum-rate than the S-CSI based RISs design due to the large overhead associated with full I-CSI acquisition. Therefore the proposed DE-S-CSI based design for precoding and reflect beamforming achieves high net sum-rate with low complexity, overhead and power consumption.

Beyond the "G" Frontier: A Time Traveler's Century-Long Vision for Wireless Intelligence

This article travels one century into the future--from 2025 to 2125--through the analytical lens of the Information--Curvature Efficiency Law (ICEL), an organizing ansatz that reframes wireless capacity around the curvature of the information manifold. It contends that wireless evolution will not proceed through incremental generations such as 6G or 7G, but through a curvature-managed integration of electromagnetics, biology, and thermodynamics. The technical instantiation of ICEL for phase-coded continuous apertures--where curvature is realized as the affine-quotient second derivative of the aperture phase, with a compact synthesis operator and a Fredholm-determinant capacity--is developed rigorously in a companion theory paper and stress-tested against SVD, Fourier, Zernike-like, matched-focus, and RIS baselines in a companion benchmark paper. The present essay supplies the physical intuition, the century-scale narrative, and a set of cross-domain extensions (biology, thermodynamics, ecology) that are explicitly labeled as illustrative extrapolations, not independent derivations.

New lower bounds for kissing numbers in dimensions $25$--$31$

The kissing number in dimension $d$ is the largest number of non-overlapping congruent spheres that can simultaneously touch a central sphere of the same size. We study dimensions $25$-$31$, where the best previous constructions are based on Leech lifting from the optimal kissing configuration in dimension $24$. Our method exploits the absence of contacts between the unlifted bulk and the block consisting of lifted and auxiliary vectors. Rotating this block while keeping the bulk fixed creates room for two antipodal points in dimensions $26$, $27$, and $28$, and one point in dimension $29$. Three further modifications yield improvements in dimensions $25$, $30$ and $31$: (a) a nonorthogonal diagonal linear deformation of the lifted block admits two antipodal points in dimension $25$; (b) rotating the additional coordinates of the lifted vectors and then applying a small orthogonal transformation to the resulting lifted block as a whole admits two antipodal points in dimension $30$; (c) rotating only the additional coordinates of the lifted vectors admits four nonantipodal points in dimension $31$. Together, these constructions yield the new lower bounds $τ_{25}\geq 197058$, $τ_{26}\geq 198552$, $τ_{27}\geq 200046$, $τ_{28}\geq 204522$, $τ_{29}\geq 209497$, $τ_{30}\ge 220442$, and $τ_{31}\geq 238354$.

Minimum distances of primitive narrow-sense BCH codes via good zero-sets

Determining the exact minimum distances of BCH codes remains a open problem. We establish the minimum distances of several families of primitive narrow-sense BCH codes, showing that they attain their designed distances. Our approach centers on $\mathbb{F}_q$-good zero-sets, which we introduce through a derivative condition on their vanishing polynomials. We show that a $q$-ary primitive narrow-sense BCH code of length $q^m-1$ and designed distance $2\leqδ\leq q^m-1$ has minimum distance $δ$ if and only if there exists an $\mathbb{F}_q$-good zero-set of cardinality $δ+1$ in the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$ with $q^m$ elements. To construct $\mathbb{F}_q$-good zero-sets, we develop several methods based on polynomial substitutions, power maps, and shifted inverses, as well as direct constructions using polynomials of special forms. Together with suitable initial $\mathbb{F}_q$-good zero-sets, including those arising from known minimum-distance results, these methods yield new good zero-sets of various cardinalities and hence families of primitive narrow-sense BCH codes whose minimum distances equal their designed distances. These families cover a broad range of designed distances, with several known minimum-distance results recovered as special cases.
