Channel knowledge map (CKM) is an emerging technique to enable environment-aware wireless communications, in which databases with location-specific channel knowledge are used to facilitate or even obviate real-time channel state information acquisition. One fundamental problem for CKM-enabled communication is how to efficiently construct the CKM based on finite measurement data points at limited user locations. Towards this end, this paper proposes a novel map construction method based on the emph{expectation maximization} (EM) algorithm, by utilizing the available measurement data, jointly with the expert knowledge of well-established statistic channel models. The key idea is to partition the available data points into different groups, where each group shares the same modelling parameter values to be determined. We show that determining the modelling parameter values can be formulated as a maximum likelihood estimation problem with latent variables, which is then efficiently solved by the classic EM algorithm. Compared to the pure data-driven methods such as the nearest neighbor based interpolation, the proposed method is more efficient since only a small number of modelling parameters need to be determined and stored. Furthermore, the proposed method is extended for constructing a specific type of CKM, namely, the channel gain map (CGM), where closed-form expressions are derived for the E-step and M-step of the EM algorithm. Numerical results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed map construction method as compared to the benchmark curve fitting method with one single model.

Orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation has attracted substantial attention recently due to its great potential of providing reliable communications in high-mobility scenarios. In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid signal detection algor ithm for OTFS modulation. By characterizing the input-output relationship of OTFS modulation, we derive the near-optimal symbol-wise maximum a posteriori (MAP) detection algorithm for OTFS modulation, which aims to extract the information of each transmitted symbol based on the corresponding related received symbols. Furthermore, in order to reduce the detection complexity, we propose a partitioning rule that separates the related received symbols into two subsets for detecting each transmitted symbol, according to the corresponding path gains. We then introduce a hybrid detection algorithm to exploit the power discrepancy of each subset, where the MAP detection is applied to the subset with larger channel gains, while the parallel interference cancellation (PIC) detection is applied to the subset with smaller channel gains. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms can not only approach the performance of the near-optimal symbol-wise MAP algorithms, but also offer a substantial performance gain compared with existing algorithms.
To provide reliable communication in data transmission, ability of correcting errors is of prime importance. This paper intends to suggest an easy algorithm to detect and correct errors in transmission codes using the well-known Karnaugh map. Referri ng to past research done and proving new theorems and also using a suggested simple technique taking advantage of the easy concept of Karnaugh map, we offer an algorithm to reduce the number of occupied squares in the map and therefore, reduce substantially the execution time for placing data bits in Karnaugh map. Based on earlier papers, we first propose an algorithm for correction of two simultaneous errors in a code. Then, defining specifications for empty squares of the map, we limit the choices for selection of new squares. In addition, burst errors in sending codes is discussed, and systematically code words for correcting them will be made.
We show that Reed-Muller codes achieve capacity under maximum a posteriori bit decoding for transmission over the binary erasure channel for all rates $0 < R < 1$. The proof is generic and applies to other codes with sufficient amount of symmetry as well. The main idea is to combine the following observations: (i) monotone functions experience a sharp threshold behavior, (ii) the extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) functions are monotone, (iii) Reed--Muller codes are 2-transitive and thus the EXIT functions associated with their codeword bits are all equal, and (iv) therefore the Area Theorem for the average EXIT functions implies that RM codes threshold is at channel capacity.
Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) have been recently considered as a promising candidate for energy-efficient solutions in future wireless networks. Their dynamic and low-power configuration enables coverage extension, massive connectivity, and low-latency communications. Due to a large number of unknown variables referring to the RIS unit elements and the transmitted signals, channel estimation and signal recovery in RIS-based systems are the ones of the most critical technical challenges. To address this problem, we focus on the RIS-assisted wireless communication system and present two joint channel estimation and signal recovery schemes based on message passing algorithms in this paper. Specifically, the proposed bidirectional scheme applies the Taylor series expansion and Gaussian approximation to simplify the sum-product procedure in the formulated problem. In addition, the inner iteration that adopts two variants of approximate message passing algorithms is incorporated to ensure robustness and convergence. Two ambiguities removal methods are also discussed in this paper. Our simulation results show that the proposed schemes show the superiority over the state-of-art benchmark method. We also provide insights on the impact of different RIS parameter settings on the proposed schemes.
In this paper, the minimum mean square error (MMSE) channel estimation for intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) assisted wireless communication systems is investigated. In the considered setting, each row vector of the equivalent channel matrix from the base station (BS) to the users is shown to be Bessel $K$ distributed, and all these row vectors are independent of each other. By introducing a Gaussian scale mixture model, we obtain a closed-form expression for the MMSE estimate of the equivalent channel, and determine analytical upper and lower bounds on the mean square error. Using the central limit theorem, we conduct an asymptotic analysis of the MMSE estimate, and show that the upper bound on the mean square error of the MMSE estimate is equal to the asymptotic mean square error of the MMSE estimation when the number of reflecting elements at the IRS tends to infinity. Numerical simulations show that the gap between the upper and lower bounds are very small, and they almost overlap with each other at medium signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) levels and moderate number of elements at the IRS.
