We consider a scheduler for the downlink of a wireless channel when only partial channel-state information is available at the scheduler. We characterize the network stability region and provide two throughput-optimal scheduling policies. We also derive a deterministic bound on the mean packet delay in the network. Finally, we provide a throughput-optimal policy for the network under QoS constraints when real-time and rate-guaranteed data traffic may be present.

We consider an information updating system where a source produces updates as requested by a transmitter. The transmitter further processes these updates in order to generate $partial$ $updates$, which have smaller information compared to the origina l updates, to be sent to a receiver. We study the problem of generating partial updates, and finding their corresponding real-valued codeword lengths, in order to minimize the average age experienced by the receiver, while maintaining a desired level of mutual information between the original and partial updates. This problem is NP hard. We relax the problem and develop an alternating minimization based iterative algorithm that generates a pmf for the partial updates, and the corresponding age-optimal real-valued codeword length for each update. We observe that there is a tradeoff between the attained average age and the mutual information between the original and partial updates.
We study the problem of synthesizing a controller that maximizes the entropy of a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) subject to a constraint on the expected total reward. Such a controller minimizes the predictability of a decision- makers trajectories while guaranteeing the completion of a task expressed by a reward function. First, we prove that a decision-maker with perfect observations can randomize its paths at least as well as a decision-maker with partial observations. Then, focusing on finite-state controllers, we recast the entropy maximization problem as a so-called parameter synthesis problem for a parametric Markov chain (pMC). We show that the maximum entropy of a POMDP is lower bounded by the maximum entropy of this pMC. Finally, we present an algorithm, based on a nonlinear optimization problem, to synthesize an FSC that locally maximizes the entropy of a POMDP over FSCs with the same number of memory states. In numerical examples, we demonstrate the proposed algorithm on motion planning scenarios.
We study the uplink performance of massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) when users are equipped with multiple antennas. To this end, we consider a generalized channel model that accounts for line-of-sight propagation and spatially correlated multipath fading. Most importantly, we employ the Weichselberger correlation model, which has been shown to alleviate the deficiencies of the popular Kronecker model. The main contribution of this paper is a rigorous closed-form expression for the uplink spectral efficiency using maximum-ratio combining and minimum mean square error channel estimation. Our result is a non-trivial generalization of previous results on massive MIMO with spatially correlated channels, thereby enabling us to have suitable designs for future massive MIMO systems. Numerical simulations corroborate our analysis and provide useful insights on how different propagation conditions affect system performance.
This paper considers a wireless network with a base station (BS) conducting timely status updates to multiple clients via adaptive non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)/orthogonal multiple access (OMA). Specifically, the BS is able to adaptively swit ch between NOMA and OMA for the downlink transmission to optimize the information freshness of the network, characterized by the Age of Information (AoI) metric. If the BS chooses OMA, it can only serve one client within each time slot and should decide which client to serve; if the BS chooses NOMA, it can serve more than one client at the same time and needs to decide the power allocated to the served clients. For the simple two-client case, we formulate a Markov Decision Process (MDP) problem and develop the optimal policy for the BS to decide whether to use NOMA or OMA for each downlink transmission based on the instantaneous AoI of both clients. The optimal policy is shown to have a switching-type property with obvious decision switching boundaries. A near-optimal policy with lower computation complexity is also devised. For the more general multi-client scenario, inspired by the proposed near-optimal policy, we formulate a nonlinear optimization problem to determine the optimal power allocated to each client by maximizing the expected AoI drop of the network in each time slot. We resolve the formulated problem by approximating it as a convex optimization problem. We also derive the upper bound of the gap between the approximate convex problem and the original nonlinear, nonconvex problem. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the adopted approximation. The performance of the adaptive NOMA/OMA scheme by solving the convex optimization is shown to be close to that of max-weight policy solved by exhaustive search...
