The ultimate performance of any wireless communication system is limited by electromagnetic principles and mechanisms. Motivated by this, we start from the first principles of wave propagation and consider a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) representation of a communication system between two spatially-continuous volumes of arbitrary shape and position. This is the concept of holographic MIMO communications. The analysis takes into account the electromagnetic noise field, generated by external sources, and the constraint on the physical radiated power. The electromagnetic MIMO model is particularized for a system with parallel linear sources and receivers in line-of-sight conditions. Inspired by orthogonal-frequency division-multiplexing, we assume that the spatially-continuous transmit currents and received fields are represented using the Fourier basis functions. In doing so, a wavenumber-division multiplexing (WDM) scheme is obtained whose properties are studied with the conventional tools of linear systems theory. Particularly, the interplay among the different system parameters (e.g., transmission range, wavelength, and sizes of source and receiver) in terms of number of communication modes and level of interference is studied. Due to the non-finite support of the electromagnetic channel, we prove that the interference-free condition can only be achieved when the receiver size grows to infinity. The spectral efficiency of WDM is evaluated via the singular-value decomposition architecture with water-filling and compared to that of a simplified architecture, which uses linear processing at the receiver and suboptimal power allocation.

Wireless backhaul is considered to be the key part of the future wireless network with dense small cell traffic and high capacity demand. In this paper, we focus on the design of a high spectral efficiency line-of-sight (LoS) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system for millimeter wave (mmWave) backhaul using dual-polarized frequency division duplex (FDD). High spectral efficiency is very challenging to achieve for the system due to various physical impairments such as phase noise (PHN), timing offset (TO) as well as the poor condition number of the LoS MIMO. In this paper, we propose a holistic solution containing TO compensation, PHN estimation, precoder/decorrelator optimization of the LoS MIMO for wireless backhaul, and the interleaving of each part. We show that the proposed solution has robust performance with end-to-end spectral efficiency of 60 bits/s/Hz for 8x8 MIMO.
Enabled by the advancement in radio frequency technologies, the convergence of radar and communication systems becomes increasingly promising and is envisioned as a key feature of future 6G networks. Recently, the frequency-hopping (FH) MIMO radar is introduced to underlay dual-function radar-communication (DFRC) systems. Superior to many previous radar-centric DFRC designs, the symbol rate of FH-MIMO radar-based DFRC (FH-MIMO DFRC) can exceed the radar pulse repetition frequency. However, many practical issues, particularly those regarding effective data communications, are unexplored/unsolved. To promote the awareness and general understanding of the novel DFRC, this article is devoted to providing a timely introduction of FH-MIMO DFRC. We comprehensively review many essential aspects of the novel DFRC: channel/signal models, signaling strategies, modulation/demodulation processing and channel estimation methods, to name a few. We also highlight major remaining issues in FH-MIMO DFRC and suggest potential solutions to shed light on future research works.
Next generation wireless base stations and access points will transmit and receive using extremely massive numbers of antennas. A promising technology for realizing such massive arrays in a dynamically controllable and scalable manner with reduced cost and power consumption utilizes surfaces of radiating metamaterial elements, known as metasurfaces. To date, metasurfaces are mainly considered in the context of wireless communications as passive reflecting devices, aiding conventional transceivers in shaping the propagation environment. This article presents an alternative application of metasurfaces for wireless communications as active reconfigurable antennas with advanced analog signal processing capabilities for next generation transceivers. We review the main characteristics of metasurfaces used for radiation and reception, and analyze their main advantages as well as their effect on the ability to reliably communicate in wireless networks. As current studies unveil only a portion of the potential of metasurfaces, we detail a list of exciting research and implementation challenges which arise from the application of metasurface antennas for wireless transceivers.
Location information offered by external positioning systems, e.g., satellite navigation, can be used as prior information in the process of beam alignment and channel parameter estimation for reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-aided millimeter wave (mmWave) multiple-input multiple-output networks. Benefiting from the availability of such prior information, albeit imperfect, the beam alignment and channel parameter estimation processes can be significantly accelerated with less candidate beams explored at all the terminals. We propose a practical channel parameter estimation method via atomic norm minimization, which outperforms the standard beam alignment in terms of both the mean square error and the effective spectrum efficiency for the same training overhead.
Inter-carrier interference (ICI) poses a significant challenge for OFDM joint radar-communications (JRC) systems in high-mobility scenarios. In this paper, we propose a novel ICI-aware sensing algorithm for MIMO-OFDM JRC systems to detect the presence of multiple targets and estimate their delay-Doppler-angle parameters. First, leveraging the observation that spatial covariance matrix is independent of target delays and Dopplers, we perform angle estimation via the MUSIC algorithm. For each estimated angle, we next formulate the radar delay-Doppler estimation as a joint carrier frequency offset (CFO) and channel estimation problem via an APES (amplitude and phase estimation) spatial filtering approach by transforming the delay-Doppler parameterized radar channel into an unstructured form. To account for the presence of multiple targets at a given angle, we devise an iterative interference cancellation based orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) procedure, where at each iteration the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) detector is employed to form decision statistics, providing as by-products the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) of radar channels and CFOs. In the final step, target detection is performed in delay-Doppler domain using target-specific, ICI-decontaminated channel estimates over time and frequency, where CFO estimates are utilized to resolve Doppler ambiguities, thereby turning ICI from foe to friend. The proposed algorithm can further exploit the ICI effect to introduce an additional dimension (namely, CFO) for target resolvability, which enables resolving targets located at the same delay-Doppler-angle cell. Simulation results illustrate the ICI exploitation capability of the proposed approach and showcase its superior detection and estimation performance in high-mobility scenarios over conventional methods.
