The massiveness of devices in crowded Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications brings new challenges to existing random-access (RA) schemes, such as heavy signaling overhead and severe access collisions. In order to reduce the signaling overhead, we propose a fixed-symbol aided RA scheme where active devices access the network in a grant-free method, i.e., data packets are directly transmitted in randomly chosen slots. To further address the access collision which impedes the activity detection, one fixed symbol is inserted into each transmitted data packet in the proposed scheme. An iterative message passing based activity detection (MP-AD) algorithm is performed upon the received signal of this fixed symbol to detect the device activity in each slot. In addition, the deep neural network-aided MP-AD (DNN-MP-AD) algorithm is further designed to alleviate the correlation problem of the iterative message passing process. In the DNN-MP-AD algorithm, the iterative message passing process is transferred from a factor graph to a DNN. Weights are imposed on the messages in the DNN and further trained to improve the accuracy of the device activity detection. Finally, numerical simulations are provided for the throughput of the proposed RA scheme, the accuracy of the proposed MP-AD algorithm, as well as the improvement brought by the DNN-MP-AD algorithm.

In this paper, an LSTM-aided hybrid random access scheme (LSTMH-RA) is proposed to support diverse quality of service (QoS) requirements in 6G machine-type communication (MTC) networks, where massive MTC (mMTC) devices and ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC) devices coexist. In the proposed LSTMH-RA scheme, mMTC devices access the network via a timing advance (TA)-aided four-step procedure to meet massive access requirement, while the access procedure of the URLLC devices is completed in two steps coupled with the mMTC devices access procedure to reduce latency. Furthermore, we propose an attention-based LSTM prediction model to predict the number of active URLLC devices, thereby determining the parameters of the multi-user detection algorithm to guarantee the latency and reliability access requirements of URLLC devices. We analyze the successful access probability of the LSTMH-RA scheme. Numerical results show that, compared with the benchmark schemes, the proposed LSTMH-RA scheme can significantly improve the successful access probability, and thus satisfy the diverse QoS requirements of URLLC and mMTC devices.
This paper investigates a joint beamforming design in a multiuser multiple-input single-output (MISO) communication network aided with an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) panel. The symbol-level precoding (SLP) is adopted to enhance the system performance by exploiting the multiuser interference (MUI) with consideration of bounded channel uncertainty. The joint beamforming design is formulated into a nonconvex worst-case robust programming to minimize the transmit power subject to single-to-noise ratio (SNR) requirements. To address the challenges due to the constant modulus and the coupling of the beamformers, we first study the single-user case. Specifically, we propose and compare two algorithms based on the semidefinite relaxation (SDR) and alternating optimization (AO) methods, respectively. It turns out that the AO-based algorithm has much lower computational complexity but with almost the same power to the SDR-based algorithm. Then, we apply the AO technique to the multiuser case and thereby develop an algorithm based on the proximal gradient descent (PGD) method. The algorithm can be generalized to the case of finite-resolution IRS and the scenario with direct links from the transmitter to the users. Numerical results show that the SLP can significantly improve the system performance. Meanwhile, 3-bit phase shifters can achieve near-optimal power performance.
This paper proposes a tractable solution for integrating non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) into massive machine-type communications (mMTC) to increase the uplink connectivity. Multiple transmit power levels are provided at the user end to enable open-loop power control, which is absent from the traditional uplink NOMA with the fixed transmit power. The basics of this solution are firstly presented to analytically show the inherent performance gain in terms of the average arrival rate (AAR). Then, a practical framework based on a novel power map is proposed to associate a set of well-designed transmit power levels with each geographical region for handling the no instantaneous channel state information problem. Based on this framework, the semi-grant-free (semi-GF) transmission with two practical protocols is introduced to enhance the connectivity, which has higher AAR than both the conventional grand-based and GF transmissions. When the number of active GF devices in mMTC far exceeds the available resource blocks, the corresponding AAR tends to zero. To solve this problem, user barring techniques are employed into the semi-GF transmission to stable the traffic flow and thus increase the AAR. Lastly, promising research directions are discussed for improving the proposed networks.
It is known that the capacity of the intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) aided cellular network can be effectively improved by reflecting the incident signals from the transmitter in a low-cost passive reflecting way. Nevertheless, in the actual network operation, the base station (BS) and IRS may belong to different operators, consequently, the IRS is reluctant to help the BS without any payment. Therefore, this paper investigates price-based reflection resource (elements) allocation strategies for an IRS-aided multiuser multiple-input and single-output (MISO) downlink communication systems, in which all transmissions over the same frequency band. Assuming that the IRS is composed with multiple modules, each of which is attached with a smart controller, thus, the states (active/idle) of module can be operated by its controller, and all controllers can be communicated with each other via fiber links. A Stackelberg game-based alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is proposed to jointly optimize the transmit beamforming at the BS and the passive beamforming of the active modules. Numerical examples are presented to verify the proposed algorithm. It is shown that the proposed scheme is effective in the utilities of both the BS and IRS.
A high success rate of grant-free random access scheme is proposed to support massive access for machine-to-machine communications in massive multipleinput multiple-output systems. This scheme allows active user equipments (UEs) to transmit their modulated uplink messages along with super pilots consisting of multiple sub-pilots to a base station (BS). Then, the BS performs channel state information (CSI) estimation and uplink message decoding by utilizing a proposed graph combined clustering independent component analysis (GCICA) decoding algorithm, and then employs the estimated CSIs to detect active UEs by utilizing the characteristic of asymptotic favorable propagation of massive MIMO channel. We call this proposed scheme as GCICA based random access (GCICA-RA) scheme. We analyze the successful access probability, missed detection probability, and uplink throughput of the GCICA-RA scheme. Numerical results show that, the GCICA-RA scheme significantly improves the successful access probability and uplink throughput, decreases missed detection probability, and provides low CSI estimation error at the same time.
