In this theoretical work, the DSP-perceived channel in optical coherent communications is first simplified, based on which we categorize linear MIMO equalizers into four classes according to their reference locations. The entire channel inverse can be represented by a complex conjugate-dependent system, coinciding with the widely linear equalization theory. Suboptimally removing FO dynamics, relatively static channel inverses parameterized with common device and channel parameters are presented for monitoring or calibration purposes.

Orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation can effectively convert a doubly dispersive channel into an almost non-fading channel in the delay-Doppler domain. However, one critical issue for OTFS is the very high complexity of equalizers. In th is letter, we first reveal the doubly block circulant feature of OTFS channel represented in the delay-Doppler domain. By exploiting this unique feature, we further propose zero-forcing (ZF) and minimum mean squared error (MMSE) equalizers that can be efficiently implemented with the two-dimensional fast Fourier transform. The complexity of our proposed equalizers is gracefully reduced from $mathcal{O}left(left(NMright)^{3}right)$ to $mathcal{O}left(NMmathrm{log_{2}}left(NMright)right)$, where $N$ and $M$ are the number of OTFS symbols and subcarriers, respectively. Analysis and simulation results show that compared with other existing linear equalizers for OTFS, our proposed linear equalizers enjoy a much lower computational complexity without any performance loss.
We analyse the behaviour of a massive multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) system comprising a base station (BS) equipped with one of five different antenna topologies for which the spatial aperture is either unconstrained, or space-constrained. We derive the n ormalized mean interference (NMI) with a ray-based channel model, as a metric for topology comparison in each of the two cases. Based on the derivation for a horizontal uniform rectangular array (HURA) in [1], we provide closed-form NMI equations for the uniform linear array (ULA) and uniform circular array (UCirA). We then derive the same for a vertical URA (VURA) and uniform cylindrical array (UCylA). Results for the commonly-considered unconstrained case confirm the prior understanding that topologies with wider azimuth footprints aid performance. However, in the space-constrained case performance is dictated by the angular resolution afforded by the topology, particularly in elevation. We confirm the behavioural patterns predicted by the NMI by observing the same patterns in the system SINR with minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) processing.

In a practical massive MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) system, the number of antennas at a base station (BS) is constrained by the space and cost factors, which limits the throughput gain promised by theoretical analysis. This paper thus studie s the feasibility of adopting the intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) to further improve the beamforming gain of the uplink communications in a massive MIMO system. Under such a novel system, the central question lies in whether the IRS is able to enhance the network throughput as expected, if the channel estimation overhead is taken into account. In this paper, we first show that the favorable propagation property for the conventional massive MIMO system without IRS, i.e., the channels of arbitrary two users are orthogonal, no longer holds for the IRS-assisted massive MIMO system, due to its special channel property that each IRS element reflects the signals from all the users to the BS via the same channel. As a result, the maximal-ratio combining (MRC) receive beamforming strategy leads to strong inter-user interference and thus even lower user rates than those of the massive MIMO system without IRS. To tackle this challenge, we propose a novel strategy for zero-forcing (ZF) beamforming design at the BS and reflection coefficients design at the IRS to efficiently null the inter-user interference. Under our proposed strategy, it is rigorously shown that even if the channel estimation overhead is considered, the IRS-assisted massive MIMO system can always achieve higher throughput compared to its counterpart without IRS, despite the fact that the favorable propagation property no longer holds.
This paper studies the feasibility of deploying intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) in massive MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) systems to improve the performance of users in the service dead zone. To reduce the channel training overhead, we advocate a novel protocol for the uplink communication in the IRS-assisted massive MIMO systems. Under this protocol, the IRS reflection coefficients are optimized based on the channel covariance matrices, which are generally fixed for many coherence blocks, to boost the long-term performance. Then, given the IRS reflecting coefficients, the BS beamforming vectors are designed in each coherence block based on the effective channel of each user, which is the superposition of its direct and reflected user-IRS-BS channels, to improve the instantaneous performance. Since merely the user effective channels are estimated in each coherence block, the training overhead of this protocol is the same as that in the legacy wireless systems without IRSs. Moreover, in the asymptotic regime that the numbers of IRS elements and BS antennas both go to infinity with a fixed ratio, we manage to first characterize the minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) estimators of the user effective channels and then quantify the closed-form user achievable rates as functions of channel covariance matrices with channel training overhead and estimation error taken into account. Interestingly, it is shown that the properties of channel hardening and favorable propagation still hold for the user effective channels, and satisfactory user rates are thus achievable even if simple BS beamforming solutions, e.g., maximal-ratio combining, are employed. Finally, thanks to the rate characterization, we design a low-complexity algorithm to optimize the IRS reflection coefficients based on channel covariance matrices.

Terahertz (THz) communication is considered to be a promising technology for future 6G network. To overcome the severe attenuation and relieve the high power consumption, massive MIMO with hybrid precoding has been widely considered for THz communica tion. However, accurate wideband channel estimation is challenging in THz massive MIMO systems. The existing wideband channel estimation schemes based on the ideal assumption of common sparse channel support will suffer from a severe performance loss due to the beam split effect. In this paper, we propose a beam split pattern detection based channel estimation scheme to realize reliable wideband channel estimation. Specifically, a comprehensive analysis on the angle-domain sparse structure of the wideband channel is provided by considering the beam split effect. Based on the analysis, we define a series of index sets called as beam split patterns, which are proved to have a one-to-one match to different physical channel directions. Inspired by this one-to-one match, we propose to estimate the physical channel direction by exploiting beam split patterns at first. Then, the sparse channel supports at different subcarriers can be obtained by utilizing a support detection window. This support detection window is generated by expanding the beam split pattern which is determined by the obtained physical channel direction. The above estimation procedure will be repeated path by path until all path components are estimated. The proposed scheme exploits the wideband channel property implied by the beam split effect, which can significantly improve the channel estimation accuracy. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme is able to achieve higher accuracy than existing schemes.
