We analyze the channel capacity of a system with a large number of one-bit transceivers in a classical Rayleigh environment with perfect channel information at the receiver. With $M$ transmitters and $N=αM$ receivers, we derive an expression of the capacity per transmitter $\mathcal{C}$, where $\mathcal{C}\leq\min(1,α)$, as a function of $α$ and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) $ρ$, when $M\to\infty$. We show that our expression is a good approximation for small $M$, and provide simple approximations of $\mathcal{C}$ for various ranges of $α$ and SNR $ρ$. We conclude that at high SNR, $\mathcal{C}$ reaches its upper limit of one only if the ratio $α>1.24$. Expressions for determining when $\mathcal{C}$ "saturates" as a function of $α$ and $ρ$ are given.
We investigate design and performance of communications over the bandlimited Gaussian channel with one-bit output quantization. A transceiver structure is proposed, which generates the channel input using a finite set of time-limited and approximately bandlimited waveforms, and performs oversampling on the channel output by an integrate-and-dump filter preceding the one-bit quantizer. The waveform set is constructed based on a specific bandlimited random process with certain zero-crossing properties which can be utilized to convey information. In the presence of the additive white Gaussian noi…
Transceiver hardware impairment (THI) is inevitable for high-date rate terahertz (THz) communication. Existing statistical analysis either neglects THI's effect or provides approximate results when analyzing the performance of the THz system combined with channel fading and antenna misalignment. In this paper, we develop exact analytical expressions for the average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), ergodic capacity, and average bit-error-rate (BER) performance of a THz wireless link under the combined effect of $α$-$μ$ fading channel, zero-boresight pointing errors, and the Gaussian distributed THI…
Recently, a generalization of the double-Rayleigh with line-of-sight channel fading model taking into account shadowing of the line-of-sight component has been proposed. In this research, a closed-form analysis of the average bit error rate for MPSK/MQAM modulations is performed. The derived solution is accompanied by proposed numerically efficient approximation and all possible asymptotic expressions that correspond to extreme channel parameters. Lastly, a numerical simulation was performed that demonstrated the correctness of the derived results.
Existing research works on reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) based terahertz (THz) system ignores the effect of phase noise and employ the zero-boresight pointing errors model of the free-space optics channel in performance analysis. In this paper, we analyze the performance of RIS-THz transmission under the combined effect of channel fading, THz pointing error (TPE), and statistical phase noise due to imperfect phase compensation at each RIS element. First, we derive statistical results of the double $α$-$μ$ fading combined with the TPE and phase noise at individual RIS elements using…
This paper considers the massive random access problem in MIMO quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels. Specifically, we derive achievability and converse bounds on the minimum energy-per-bit required for each active user to transmit $J$ bits with blocklength $n$ and power $P$ under a per-user probability of error (PUPE) constraint, in the cases with and without \emph{a priori} channel state information at the receiver (CSIR and no-CSI). In the case of no-CSI, we consider both the settings with and without knowing the number $K_a$ of active users. The achievability bounds rely on the design of t…
We perform geometric constellation shaping with optimized bit labeling using a binary autoencoder including a differential blind phase search (BPS). Our approach enables full end-to-end training of optical coherent transceivers taking into account the digital signal processing.
In this paper, we analyze the error probability of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS)-enabled communication systems with quantized channel phase compensation over Rayleigh fading channels. The probability density and characteristic functions of the received signal amplitude are derive dand used to compute exact expressions for the bit error rate(BER). The resulting expressions are general, as they hold for an arbitrary number of reflecting elements N, and quantization levels, L. We introduce an exact asymptotic analysis in the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime, from which we demon…
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with index modulation (OFDM-IM) is a novel scheme where the information bits are conveyed through the subcarrier activation pattern (SAP) and the symbols on the active subcarriers. Unfortunately, OFDM-IM inherits the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) problem from the classical OFDM. The OFDMIM signal with high PAPR induces in-band distortion and out-of-band radiation when it passes through high power amplifier (HPA). There are attempts to reduce PAPR by adding dither signals in the idle subcarriers, where the dither signals can have various ampl…
We consider the strong secret key (SK) agreement problem for the satellite communication setting, where a satellite chooses a common binary phase shift keying modulated input for three statistically independent additive white Gaussian noise measurement channels whose outputs are observed by two legitimate transceivers (Alice and Bob) and an eavesdropper (Eve), respectively. Legitimate transceivers have access to an authenticated, noiseless, two-way, and public communication link, so they can exchange multiple rounds of public messages to agree on a SK hidden from Eve. Without loss of essential…
Discrete phase shifters of intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) generates phase quantization error (QE) and degrades the receive performance at the receiver. To make an analysis of the performance loss caused by IRS with phase QE, based on the law of large numbers, the closed-form expressions of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance loss (PL), achievable rate (AR), and bit error rate (BER) are successively derived under line-of-sight (LoS) channels and Rayleigh channels. Moreover, based on the Taylor series expansion, the approximate simple closed form of PL of IRS with approximate QE is als…
