Abstract

Generalized quadrature spatial modulation (GQSM) schemes are known to achieve high energy- and spectral- efficiencies by modulating information both in transmitted symbols and in coded combinatorial activations of subsets of multiple transmit antennas. A challenge of the approach is, however, the decoding complexity which scales with the efficiency of the scheme. In order to circumvent this bottleneck and enable high-performance and feasible GQSM in massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) scenarios, we propose a novel decoding algorithm which enjoys a complexity order that is independent of the combinatorial factor. This remarkable feature of the proposed decoder is a consequence of a novel vectorized Gaussian belief propagation (GaBP) algorithm, here contributed, whose message passing (MP) rules leverage both pilot symbols and the unit vector decomposition (UVD) of the GQSM signal structure. The effectiveness of the proposed UVD-GaBP method is illustrated via computer simulations including numerical results for systems of a size never before reported in related literature (up to 32 transmit antennas), which demonstrates the potential of the approach in paving the way towards high energy and spectral efficiency for wireless systems in a truly mMIMO setting.

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.

Adaptive Probabilistic Constellation Shaping based on Enumerative Sphere Shaping for FSO Channel with Turbulence and Pointing Errors

Free-space optical (FSO) transmission enables fast, secure, and efficient next-generation communications with abundant spectrum resources. However, atmospheric turbulence, pointing errors, path loss, and atmospheric loss induce random attenuation, challenging link reliability. Adaptive coded modulation technology enhances spectrum utilization and reliability. We propose an adaptive probabilistic constellation shaping (A-PCS) coherent system utilizing enumerative sphere shaping (ESS) for distribution matcher (DM). With PCS-64QAM, the system achieves continuous rate control from conventional QPSK-equivalent to 64QAM spectral efficiency, providing quasi-continuous control with granularities of approximately $0.05$~bits/4D for spectral efficiency and $0.1$~dB for the post-FEC SNR threshold, and a maximum control depth of $12.5$~dB. Leveraging ESS for efficient sequence utilization, it offers higher spectral efficiency and finer control granularity than constant composition distribution matcher (CCDM)-based A-PCS systems. We further model and analyze the FSO channel, presenting calculations and comparisons of outage probability and ergodic capacity under varying turbulence intensities and pointing errors. Results demonstrate 99.999~\% reliability at maximum $σ_\mathrm{R}^2 = 1.02$ and $σ_\mathrm{s} = 0.51~\mathrm{m}$, meeting requirements under severe turbulence and large pointing errors. {Furthermore, under non-ideal delayed channel state information (CSI) feedback conditions, the system adapts to varying turbulence coherence times and feedback delays, with results showing that finer modulation granularity (provided by A-PCS-ESS) enhances immunity to feedback delay, maintaining a performance advantage over conventional adaptive schemes across a range of channel environments and delay values.

Rate-Splitting--Inspired Bistatic OFDM-ISAC

Achieving effective uplink bistatic ISAC over an OFDM waveform gives rise to challenging interference structures. These are mostly due to unequal direct- and echo-path contributions and Doppler-induced ICI, rendering orthogonal resource separation and fixed SIC strategies inadequate. To address this problem, we propose a RS-inspired framework where the transmitter splits each communication message into a robust and a supplementary stream, which are jointly superposed over a sensing signal. Furthermore, we present the design of a staged sensing-communication receiver. Based on this framework, we derive tractable per-subcarrier SINR expressions and establish the relation between sensing accuracy and communication reliability based on the Fisher information. Building on these, we formulate a joint power-allocation problem for SE maximization under sensing-performance and power constraints. The resulting non-convex formulation is solved using convex surrogates and fractional programming. Numerical results demonstrate that, compared to NOMA-inspired baselines, the proposed framework provides more effective IFI management and improved robustness to Doppler-induced ICI.
