Abstract

The demands for high data rate, reliability, high energy efficiency, high spectral efficiency, and low latency communication have been increasing rapidly. For this reason, communication models that use limited resources in the best way, allow fast data transmission, and increase performance has become very important. In this work, a novel high energy and spectral efficient reconfigurable intelligent surface aided spatial media-based modulation system, called RIS-SMBM, is proposed for Rayleigh fading channels. In addition to the bits carried in the M-QAM symbol, while media-based modulation (MBM) provides data bits to be carried in the indices of different channels according to the radio frequency (RF) mirrors are on or off, spatial modulation (SM) provides data bits to be carried in the indices of the transmit antennas. By combining these two modulation schemes, the spectral efficiency increases considerably since the amount of information transmitted in the same time interval is substantially increased. The optimal maximum-likelihood (ML) detector and the enhanced low-complexity (ELC) detector for the RIS-SMBM system are proposed. The ELC detector achieves near ML performance while reducing the complexity of the optimal ML detector for the proposed RIS-SMBM system. We analyze the average bit error rate (ABER), throughput, complexity, and energy efficiency for the RIS-SMBM scheme and verify the analytical results with Monte Carlo simulations. It has been observed that the proposed system provides better error performance as well as providing higher spectral and energy efficiency than benchmark systems.

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.
