Abstract

Orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation and massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) are promising technologies for next generation wireless communication systems for their abilities to counteract the issue of high mobility with large Doppler spread and mitigate the channel path attenuation, respectively. The natural integration of massive MIMO with OTFS in millimeter-wave systems can improve communication data rate and enhance the spectral efficiency. However, when transmitting wideband signals with large-scale arrays, the beam squint effect may occur, causing discrepancies in beam directions across subcarriers in multi-carrier systems. Moreover, the high-mobility wideband millimeter wave communications can induce the Doppler squint effect, leading to different Doppler shifts among the subcarriers. Both beam squint effect and Doppler squint effect (denoted as doubly squint effect) can degrade communication performance significantly. In this paper, we present an efficient channel estimation and hybrid precoding scheme to address the doubly squint effect in massive MIMO-OTFS systems. We first characterize the wideband channel model and the input-output relationship for massive MIMO-OTFS transmission considering doubly squint effect. We then mathematically derive the impact of channel parameters on chirp pilots under the doubly squint effect. Additionally, we develop a peak-index-based channel estimation scheme. By leveraging the results from channel estimation, we propose a hybrid precoding method to mitigate the doubly squint effect in downlink transmission scenarios. Finally, simulation results validate the effectiveness of our proposed scheme and show its superiority over the existing schemes.

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.
