Abstract

This paper analytically investigates the bit error rate (BER) performance of downlink multi-rate (MR)-non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) over Nakagami-m fading channels for an arbitrary number of users and symbol rates. The analysis is first developed for a three-user case, then generalized to systems with more than three users, yielding an exact BER expression for the first detected user and an accurate closed-form approximations for the remaining users under the perfect-successive interference cancellation (SIC) assumption. These results are further unified into a general average-BER expression over Nakagami-m fading for arbitrary user numbers and symbol-rate configurations. A symbol-pattern-dependent signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR) analysis further shows how the symbol-duration diversity enables inherent interference cancellation, explaining the BER advantage of MR-NOMA over conventional single-symbol rate (SR)-NOMA. An average BER minimization problem is also formulated and numerically solved to optimize the users' power allocation, with simulation results corroborating the analytical findings. Overall, MR-NOMA is shown to offer greater flexibility in user pairing while maintaining reliable BER performance and accommodating diverse quality-of-service (QoS) requirements.

When isometry and equivalence for skew constacyclic codes coincide

We work in the setting of linear skew constacyclic codes over a commutative base ring $S$. We show that the notions of $(n,σ)$-isometry and $(n,σ)$-equivalence introduced by Ou-azzou et al coincide for most skew $(σ,a)$-constacyclic codes of length $n$, and moreover identify the classes for which the two notions can differ. To prove these results, we first determine all Hamming-weight preserving isomorphisms between their ambient Petit rings which extend some automorphism $τ$ of $S$ that commutes with $σ$. We then prove that when those ambient rings are not associative, these isomorphisms must have degree one, and give examples of non-degree one isomorphisms in the associative case. As a consequence, we provide new definitions of equivalence and isometry that for skew constacyclic codes over finite rings exactly capture all Hamming-weight preserving isomorphisms between their ambient rings, leading to tighter classifications.

Coded Computing for Dynamic System via Cartesian Products

This paper studies coded distributed computing (CDC) in a dynamic system in which workers may depart and new clusters may join. The caches of the surviving workers and their existing Reduce assignments stay untouched, while the storage brought by arriving clusters is put to use. In contrast to elastic computing, which targets linear functions, and to dynamic coded caching, which requires placement across all users, the model considered here accommodates general MapReduce tasks under a placement that is partly fixed and partly new. The proposed scheme builds cluster-wise placement delivery arrays (PDAs) and couples them through a Cartesian product. A delivery-aware rule reassigns the abandoned Reduce functions, and a generalized communication PDA allows even workers that hold no Reduce function to serve as coded transmitters. For arbitrary feasible disconnections, the exact load is derived. A file-wise converse for instantly decodable XOR multicasts shows that, in the absence of disconnections, the scheme lies within a factor of two of the best scheme in this multicast class when new clusters arrive, and within a factor of four otherwise, even when the benchmark optimizes over all feasible uncoded placements.

Identification and Recovery of Linear Dynamics from Partial Trajectories

We study the joint recovery of an unknown system matrix $A\in\mathbb R^{n\times n}$ and a rank-$r$ initial-state matrix $X_0\in\mathbb R^{n\times m}$ from partial observations of the state matrices $A^tX_0$, for $t=0,\ldots,T$. Each trajectory is observed at a fixed set of state coordinates, which may differ across trajectories. We derive necessary conditions for identifiability, including obstructions arising from incomplete spatial coverage and insufficient dynamical span, as well as lower bounds on the number of observations. We then characterize the Jacobian of the measurement map, account for the intrinsic symmetry of the low-rank factorization, and establish a rank-certificate principle yielding generic local identifiability. When the trajectories whose initial states form a basis of $\operatorname{range}(X_0)$ are fully observed, we obtain necessary and sufficient rank conditions for global recovery, together with explicit reconstruction formulas. We formulate the joint recovery problem as a nonlinear least-squares problem over the system matrix $A$ and the low-rank factors of $X_0$, and solve it using Adam. Numerical experiments on synthetic and real-world data evaluate the recovery performance under different spatial sampling rates and observation horizons.
