Abstract

This paper investigates the orthogonalization of far-field multiuser channels through the optimal positioning of the antennas constituting an array. To solve the ensuing continuous geometry optimization problem, a graph-theoretic framework is introduced that maps pairwise user channel correlations to graph edges, translating channel orthogonalization into a discrete graph-covering problem on a complete graph. The minimum number of array antennas required for orthogonalization is established for 1D, 2D, and 3D array geometries, and a binary linear program is formulated that identifies the most compact array attaining such orthogonality. The graph framework is also shown to accommodate null-steering scenarios and multipath channels. Furthermore, a fundamental tradeoff is revealed whereby relaxing exact orthogonality to near-orthogonality reduces the antenna count at the expense of a less compact array, and a method is presented to enforce minimum antenna spacings without sacrificing orthogonality.

Time-Varying Kernel Density Deconvolution using Random Finite Set Theory for State Noise Identification

This paper focuses on the noise density identification for state-space models of linear time-varying systems. The density knowledge is essential for the optimal design of any modern state estimator, fault detector, or controller. The proposed method builds on newly derived algorithms for (i) calculation of the measurement prediction residue being independent of the state and linear in state and measurement noises, and (ii) kernel density deconvolution for process with non-stationary statistical properties based on the random finite set theory. The proposed method provides consistent estimate of the state noise density without any prior knowledge on distribution family, which is a unique property in noise identification state-of-the-art. The method is further enhanced by an automatic selection of the user-defined parameters, and is evaluated in numerical examples. The examples demonstrate not only the superior performance of the proposed method in terms of accuracy and robustness among others in ultra-wide-band-inspired tracking scenario, but also the importance of the correct state noise density identification for optimal state estimation and fault detection. The paper is supplemented with a MATLAB implementation.

Hierarchical Coherent Imaging of Composite Anisotropic Moving Targets in ISAC

In Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) networks, distributed devices can cooperate to produce radio images of the surrounding environment by exploiting phase-coherent signal processing. However, existing imaging methods are not well-suited for composite moving targets with multiple independently moving extended parts. This is due to simplistic isotropic scattering models and the lack of methods to compensate for distinct Doppler shifts from each component, which leads to image defocusing. We propose MOSAIC, the first hierarchical imaging method for composite moving targets using distributed User Equipments (UEs) and a single ISAC Base Station (BS). MOSAIC generates high-resolution images of each target part and estimates its velocity vector. Coherent imaging is performed within selected clusters of UEs observing a locally isotropic scattering from each part, while cluster-specific images are combined non-coherently across wide angles to improve the reconstruction. To mitigate Doppler-induced defocusing, Doppler components are pre-compensated before coherent imaging, turning a limitation into an additional means of resolving multiple target parts. This also enables low-complexity velocity estimation by associating Doppler frequencies across UEs. Simulations show a 35% to 45% improvement in image quality compared to existing methods, in terms of Wasserstein distance, and dm/s-level velocity estimation accuracy.

Leaky Coaxial Cable based Generalized Pinching-Antenna Systems with Dual-Port Feeding

By leveraging the distributed leakage radiation of leaky coaxial cables (LCXs), the concept of pinching antennas can be generalized from the conventional high-frequency waveguide based architectures to cable based structures in lower-frequency scenarios. This paper investigates an LCX based generalized pinching-antenna system with dual-port feeding. By enabling bidirectional excitation along each cable, the proposed design significantly enhances spatial degrees of freedom. A comprehensive channel model is developed to characterize intra-cable attenuation, bidirectional phase progression, slot based radiation, and wireless propagation. Based on this model, both analog and hybrid beamforming frameworks are studied with the objective of maximizing the minimum achievable data rate. For analog transmission, slot activation, port selection, and power allocation are jointly optimized using matching theory, coalitional games, and bisection based power control. For hybrid transmission, zero-forcing (ZF) digital precoding is incorporated to eliminate inter-user interference, thereby simplifying slot activation and enabling closed-form optimal power allocation. Simulation results demonstrate that dual-port feeding provides notable performance gains over single-port LCX systems and fixed-antenna benchmarks, validating the effectiveness of the proposed beamforming and resource allocation designs under various transmit power levels and cable parameters.
