Energy Efficiency Maximization for Intelligent Surfaces Aided Massive MIMO with Zero

Abstract

In this work, we address the energy efficiency (EE) maximization problem in a downlink communication system utilizing reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) in a multi-user massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) setup with zero-forcing (ZF) precoding. The channel between the base station (BS) and RIS operates under a Rician fading with Rician factor K1. Since systematically optimizing the RIS phase shifts in each channel coherence time interval is challenging and burdensome, we employ the statistical channel state information (CSI)-based optimization strategy to alleviate this overhead. By treating the RIS phase shifts matrix as a constant over multiple channel coherence time intervals, we can reduce the computational complexity while maintaining an interesting performance. Based on an ergodic rate (ER) lower bound closed-form, the EE optimization problem is formulated. Such a problem is non-convex and challenging to tackle due to the coupled variables. To circumvent such an obstacle, we explore the sequential optimization approach where the power allocation vector p, the number of antennas M, and the RIS phase shifts v are separated and sequentially solved iteratively until convergence. With the help of the Lagrangian dual method, fractional programming (FP) techniques, and Lemma 1, insightful compact closed-form expressions for each of the three optimization variables are derived. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method across different generalized channel scenarios, including non-line-of-sight (NLoS) and partially line-of-sight (LoS) conditions. This underscores its potential to significantly reduce power consumption, decrease the number of active antennas at the base station, and effectively incorporate RIS structure in mMIMO communication setup with just statistical CSI knowledge.

Bistatic Target Detection by Exploiting Both Deterministic Pilots and Unknown Random Data Payloads

Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) plays a crucial role in 6G, to enable innovative applications such as drone surveillance, urban air mobility, and low-altitude logistics. However, the hybrid ISAC signal, which comprises deterministic pilot and random data payload components, poses challenges for target detection due to two reasons: 1) these two components cause coupled shifts in both the mean and variance of the received signal, and 2) the random data payloads are typically unknown to the sensing receiver in the bistatic setting. Unfortunately, these challenges could not be tackled by existing target detection algorithms. In this paper, a generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT)-based detector is derived, by leveraging the known deterministic pilots and the statistical characteristics of the unknown random data payloads. Due to the analytical intractability of exact performance characterization, we perform an asymptotic analysis for the false alarm probability and detection probability of the proposed detector. The results highlight a critical trade-off: both deterministic and random components improve detection reliability, but the latter also brings statistical uncertainty that hinders detection performance. Simulations validate the theoretical findings and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed detector, which highlights the necessity of designing a dedicated detector to fully exploited the signaling resources assigned to random data payloads.

On Unbiased Parameter Estimation and Signal Reconstruction

In this paper, we extend the theory of depth-unbiased source localization to unbiased parameter estimation and signal reconstruction for an arbitrary number of non-zero parameters. The topic touches on exact reconstructibility, most commonly studied in compressed sensing and multisource estimation across various imaging problems. The theoretical results derive upper bounds on the number of recoverable parameters in the noiseless case, and define a probability measure to assess the likelihood of recovering all non-zero parameters with correct magnitude order. The work provides a mathematical explanation of the open question regarding the noise robustness of standardized and unbiased methods. The paper also reveals a trade-off between the number of sensors and the signal-to-noise ratio. Numerical experiments demonstrate the theoretical findings.

Minimum enclosing Bregman balls made easy

In this work, we revisit the problem of computing minimum enclosing Bregman balls (Bregman MEBs) of finite sets of parameters. First, we show that Bregman MEBs are equivalent to MEBs of corresponding weighted point sets with respect to the power distance. We then report an efficient Frank--Wolfe $(1+ε)$-approximation algorithm for computing power MEBs, for any $ε>0$. This power MEB approximation algorithm coincides with the Bregman MEB approximation algorithm of Nock and Nielsen (2005) when expressed in the dual gradient space. Finally, we show that the Bregman potential lifting transforms used to construct Bregman Voronoi diagrams can be reinterpreted as the classical paraboloid lifting transform applied to corresponding weighted point sets. In particular, Bregman MEB circumcenters lie on the farthest Bregman Voronoi diagrams or equivalently on the corresponding farthest power diagrams.
