Impulse-Radio (IR) is a wideband modulation technique that can support multiple users by employing random Time-Hopping (TH) combined with repeated transmissions. The latter is aimed at alleviating the impact of collisions. This work employs a graphical model for describing the multiuser system which, in turn, facilitates the inclusion of general coding schemes. Based on factor graph representation of the system, several iterative multiuser detectors are presented. These detectors are applicable for any binary linear coding scheme. The performance of the proposed multiuser detectors is evaluated via simulations revealing large gains with low complexity.

This paper considers an energy harvesting (EH) based multiuser mobile edge computing (MEC) system, where each user utilizes the harvested energy from renewable energy sources to execute its computation tasks via computation offloading and local computing. Towards maximizing the systems weighted computation rate (i.e., the number of weighted users computing bits within a finite time horizon) subject to the users energy causality constraints due to dynamic energy arrivals, the decision for joint computation offloading and local computing over time is optimized {em over time}. Assuming that the profile of channel state information and dynamic task arrivals at the users is known in advance, the weighted computation rate maximization problem becomes a convex optimization problem. Building on the Lagrange duality method, the well-structured optimal solution is analytically obtained. Both the users local computing and offloading rates are shown to have a monotonically increasing structure. Numerical results show that the proposed design scheme can achieve a significant performance gain over the alternative benchmark schemes.
This paper investigates robust and secure multiuser multiple-input single-output (MISO) downlink communications assisted by a self-sustainable intelligent reflection surface (IRS), which can simultaneously reflect and harvest energy from the received signals. We study the joint design of beamformers at an access point (AP) and the phase shifts as well as the energy harvesting schedule at the IRS for maximizing the system sum-rate. The design is formulated as a non-convex optimization problem taking into account the wireless energy harvesting capability of IRS elements, secure communications, and the robustness against the impact of channel state information (CSI) imperfection. Subsequently, we propose a computationally-efficient iterative algorithm to obtain a suboptimal solution to the design problem. In each iteration, S-procedure and the successive convex approximation are adopted to handle the intermediate optimization problem. Our simulation results unveil that: 1) there is a non-trivial trade-off between the system sum-rate and the self-sustainability of the IRS; 2) the performance gain achieved by the proposed scheme is saturated with a large number of energy harvesting IRS elements; 3) an IRS equipped with small bit-resolution discrete phase shifters is sufficient to achieve a considerable system sum-rate of the ideal case with continuous phase shifts.
Hybrid analog-digital (A/D) transceivers designed for millimeter wave (mmWave) systems have received substantial research attention, as a benefit of their lower cost and modest energy consumption compared to their fully-digital counterparts. We further improve their performance by conceiving a Tomlinson-Harashima precoding (THP) based nonlinear joint design for the downlink of multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) mmWave systems. Our optimization criterion is that of minimizing the mean square error (MSE) of the system under channel uncertainties subject both to realistic transmit power constraint and to the unit modulus constraint imposed on the elements of the analog beamforming (BF) matrices governing the BF operation in the radio frequency domain. We transform this optimization problem into a more tractable form and develop an efficient block coordinate descent (BCD) based algorithm for solving it. Then, a novel two-timescale nonlinear joint hybrid transceiver design algorithm is developed, which can be viewed as an extension of the BCD-based joint design algorithm for reducing both the channel state information (CSI) signalling overhead and the effects of outdated CSI. Moreover, we determine the near-optimal cancellation order for the THP structure based on the lower bound of the MSE. The proposed algorithms can be guaranteed to converge to a Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) solution of the original problem. The simulation results demonstrate that our proposed nonlinear joint hybrid transceiver design algorithms significantly outperform the existing linear hybrid transceiver algorithms and approach the performance of the fully-digital transceiver, despite its lower cost and power dissipation.
In the intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) assisted communication systems, the acquisition of channel state information (CSI) is a crucial impediment for achieving the passive beamforming gain of IRS because of the considerable overhead required for channel estimation. Specifically, under the current beamforming design for IRS-assisted communications, $KMN+KM$ channel coefficients should be estimated if the passive IRS cannot estimate its channels with the base station (BS) and users due to its lack of radio frequency (RF) chains, where $K$, $N$ and $M$ denote the number of users, reflecting elements of the IRS, and antennas at the BS, respectively. This number can be extremely large in practice considering the current trend of massive MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output), i.e., a large $M$, and massive connectivity, i.e., a large $K$. To accurately estimate such a large number of channel coefficients within a short time interval, we devote our endeavour in this paper to investigating the efficient pilot-based channel estimation method in IRS-assisted uplink communications. Building upon the observation that the IRS reflects the signals from all the users to the BS via the same channels, we analytically verify that a time duration consisting of $K+N+max(K-1,lceil (K-1)N/M rceil)$ pilot symbols is sufficient for the BS to perfectly recover all the $KMN+KM$ channel coefficients in the case without noise. In contrast to the conventional uplink communications without IRS in which the minimum pilot sequence length for channel estimation is independent with the number of receive antennas, our study reveals the significant role of massive MIMO in reducing the channel training time for IRS-assisted communication systems.
In this paper, we investigate multi user chirp spread spectrum with noncoherent detection as a continuation of our work on coherent detection in [1]. We derive the analytical bit error ratio (BER) expression for binary chirp spread spectrum (BCSS) in the presence of multiple access interference (MAI) caused by correlation with other user signals because of either asynchronism or Doppler shifts, or both, and validate with simulations. To achieve this we analyze the signal cross correlations, and compare traditional linear chirps with our recently-proposed nonlinear chirps introduced in [1] and with other nonlinear chirps from the literature. In doing so we illustrate the superior performance of our new nonlinear chirp designs in these practical conditions, for the noncoherent counterpart of [1].
