This paper introduces new approaches for combining non-orthogonal multiple access with distributed antenna systems. The study targets a minimization of the total transmit power in each cell, under user rate and power multiplexing constraints. Several new suboptimal power allocation techniques are proposed. They are shown to yield very close performance to an optimal power allocation scheme. Also, a new approach based on mutual successive interference cancellation of paired users is proposed. Different techniques are designed for the joint allocation of subcarriers, antennas, and power, with a particular care given to maintain a moderate complexity. The coupling of non-orthogonal multiple access to distributed antenna systems is shown to greatly outperform any other combination of orthogonal/non-orthogonal multiple access schemes with distributed or centralized deployment scenarios.
By constructing chemical reaction networks (CRNs), this paper proposes a method of synthesizing polar decoder using belief propagation (BP) algorithm and successive cancellation (SC) algorithm, respectively. Theoretical analysis and simulation results have validated the feasibility of the method. Reactions in the proposed design could be experimentally implemented with DNA strand displacement reactions, making the proposed polar decoders promising for wide application in nanoscale devices.
Dynamic successive cancellation flip (DSCF) decoding of polar codes is a powerful algorithm that can achieve the error correction performance of successive cancellation list (SCL) decoding, with a complexity that is close to that of successive cancellation (SC) decoding at practical signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regimes. However, DSCF decoding requires costly transcendental computations which adversely affect its implementation complexity. In this paper, we first show that a direct application of common approximation schemes on the conventional DSCF decoding results in significant error-correcti…
Of the wide palette of 5G features, ultra-wide bandwidth and large-scale antenna configuration are regarded as the essential enabling technology components at millimeter wave (mmWave) communication. Accurate knowledge of delay and angle information of multipath components is essential for many applications in mmWave systems. There is a strong need for a low computation-cost channel estimation algorithm for such systems, where typically adopted far-field and narrowband assumptions might be violated. In this work, a generic yet novel beamspace uniform circular array (UCA) beamforming algorithm w…
Channel polarization and Polar code are widely considered as major breakthroughs in coding theory because they have shown promising features for future wireless standards. The main drawbacks of Polar code are high-latency in decoding hardware, and unimpressive error-correction performance in case limited code-length is implemented. These two disadvantages limit implementation of Polar code in low-throughput wireless communication systems. In this paper, we propose a low-complexity low-latency hardware architecture for the soft-decision compact (16,11) Systematic Successive Cancellation Polar D…
Polar codes are the first class of forward error correction (FEC) codes with a provably capacity-achieving capability. Using list successive cancellation decoding (LSCD) with a large list size, the error correction performance of polar codes exceeds other well-known FEC codes. However, the hardware complexity of LSCD rapidly increases with the list size, which incurs high usage of the resources on the field programmable gate array (FPGA) and significantly impedes the practical deployment of polar codes. To alleviate the high complexity, in this paper, two low-complexity decoding schemes and th…
A symbol-based multi-layer iterative successive interference cancellation (MLISIC) algorithm is proposed to eliminate the inter-symbol interference (ISI) for faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) signaling. The computational complexity of the proposed MLISIC algorithm is much lower than most existing block-based estimation algorithms. By comparison with existing symbol-based algorithms, the proposed MLISIC algorithm has higher estimation accuracy. Furthermore, by means of utilizing more accurate symbols and elaborate length of successive interference cancellation, an improved MLISIC (IMLISIC) algorithm is…
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technique has sparked a growing research interest due to its ability to enhance the overall spectral efficiency of wireless systems. In this paper, we investigate the pairwise error probability (PEP) performance of conventional NOMA systems, where an exact closed form expression for the PEP is derived for different users, to give some insight about the reliability of the far and near users. Through the derivation of PEP expressions, we demonstrate that the maximum achievable diversity order is proportional to the user's order. The obtained error probabilit…

Polar codes have attracted much attention in the past decade due to their capacity-achieving performance. The higher decoding capacity is required for 5G and beyond 5G (B5G). Although the cyclic redundancy check (CRC)- assisted successive cancellation list bit-flipping (CA-SCLF) decoders have been developed to obtain a better performance, the solution to error bit correction (bit-flipping) problem is still imperfect and hard to design. In this work, we leverage the expert knowledge in communication systems and adopt deep learning (DL) technique to obtain the better solution. A low-complexity l…
Polar codes achieve outstanding error correction performance when using successive cancellation list (SCL) decoding with cyclic redundancy check. A larger list size brings better decoding performance and is essential for practical applications such as 5G communication networks. However, the decoding speed of SCL decreases with increased list size. Adaptive SCL (ASCL) decoding can greatly enhance the decoding speed, but the decoding latency for each codeword is different so A-SCL is not a good choice for hardware-based applications. In this paper, a hardware-friendly two-staged adaptive SCL (TA…
We experimentally demonstrate the enhanced atmospheric turbulence resiliency in a 137.8 Gbit/s/mode mode-division multiplexing free-space optical communication link through the application of a successive interference cancellation digital signal processing algorithm. The turbulence resiliency is further enhanced through redundant receive channels in the mode-division multiplexing link. The proof of concept demonstration is performed using commercially available mode-selective photonic lanterns, a commercial transponder, and a spatial light modulator based turbulence emulator. In this link, 5 s…
This work presents a fast successive-cancellation list flip (Fast-SCLF) decoding algorithm for polar codes that addresses the high latency issue associated with the successive-cancellation list flip (SCLF) decoding algorithm. We first propose a bit-flipping strategy tailored to the state-of-the-art fast successive-cancellation list (FSCL) decoding that avoids tree-traversal in the binary tree representation of SCLF, thus reducing the latency of the decoding process. We then derive a parameterized path selection error model to accurately estimate the bit index at which the correct decoding path…
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is considered as one of the predominant multiple access technique for the next-generation cellular networks. We consider a 2-user pair downlink NOMA system with imperfect successive interference cancellation (SIC). We consider bounds on the power allocation factors and then formulate the power allocation as an optimization problem to achieve {$α$-Fairness} among the paired users. We show that {$α$-Fairness} based power allocation factor coincides with lower bound on power allocation factor in case of perfect SIC and $α> 2$. Further, as long as the proposed…

Polar codes are the first class of capacity-achieving forward error correction (FEC) codes. They have been selected as one of the coding schemes for the 5G communication systems due to their excellent error correction performance when successive cancellation list (SCL) decoding with cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is used. A large list size is necessary for SCL decoding to achieve a low error rate. However, it impedes SCL decoding from achieving a high throughput as the computational complexity is very high when a large list size is used. In this paper, we propose a two-staged adaptive SCL (TA-S…
As the first kind of forward error correction (FEC) codes that achieve channel capacity, polar codes have attracted much research interest recently. Compared with other popular FEC codes, polar codes decoded by list successive cancellation decoding (LSCD) with a large list size have better error correction performance. However, due to the serial decoding nature of LSCD and the high complexity of list management (LM), the decoding latency is high, which limits the usage of polar codes in practical applications that require low latency and high throughput. In this work, we study the high-through…
As the first error correction codes provably achieving the symmetric capacity of binary-input discrete memory-less channels (B-DMCs), polar codes have been recently chosen by 3GPP for eMBB control channel. Among existing algorithms, CRC-aided successive cancellation list (CA-SCL) decoding is favorable due to its good performance, where CRC is placed at the end of the decoding and helps to eliminate the invalid candidates before final selection. However, the good performance is obtained with a complexity increase that is linear in list size $L$. In this paper, the tailored CRC-aided SCL (TCA-SC…
The combination of non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA) and cooperative communications can be a suitable solution for fifth generation (5G) and beyond 5G (B5G) wireless systems with massive connectivity, because it can provide higher spectral efficiency, lower energy consumption, and improved fairness compared to the non-cooperative NOMA. However,the receiver complexity in the conventional cooperative NOMA increases with increasing number of users owing to successive interference cancellation (SIC) at each user. Space time block code-aided cooperative NOMA (STBC-CNOMA) offers less numbers of S…
Due to the sequential nature of the successive-cancellation (SC) algorithm, the decoding of polar codes suffers from significant decoding latencies. Fast SC decoding is able to speed up the SC decoding process, by implementing parallel decoders at the intermediate levels of the SC decoding tree for some special nodes with specific information and frozen bit patterns. To further improve the parallelism of SC decoding, this paper present a new class of special nodes composed of a sequence of rate one or single-parity-check (SR1/SPC) nodes, which can be easily found especially in high-rate polar …
Non-orthogonal communications are expected to play a key role in future wireless systems. In downlink transmissions, the data symbols are broadcast from a base station to different users, which are superimposed with different power to facilitate high-integrity detection using successive interference cancellation (SIC). However, SIC requires accurate knowledge of both the channel model and channel state information (CSI), which may be difficult to acquire. We propose a deep learningaided SIC detector termed SICNet, which replaces the interference cancellation blocks of SIC by deep neural networ…
Due to their provably capacity-achieving performance, polar codes have attracted a lot of research interest recently. For a good error-correcting performance, list successive-cancellation decoding (LSCD) with large list size is used to decode polar codes. However, as the complexity and delay of the list management operation rapidly increase with the list size, the overall latency of LSCD becomes large and limits the applicability of polar codes in high-throughput and latency-sensitive applications. Therefore, in this work, the low-latency implementation for LSCD with large list size is studied…
A non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) inspired integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system is investigated. A dual-functional base station (BS) serves multiple communication users while sensing multiple targets, by transmitting the non-orthogonal superposition of the communication and sensing signals. A NOMA inspired interference cancellation scheme is proposed, where part of the dedicated sensing signal is treated as the virtual communication signals to be mitigated at each communication user via successive interference cancellation (SIC). Based on this framework, the transmitted com…
The design of highly scalable multiple access schemes is a main challenge in the evolution towards future massive machine-type communications, where reliability and latency constraints must be ensured to a large number of uncoordinated devices. In this scenario, coded random access (CRA) schemes, where successive interference cancellation algorithms allow large improvements with respect to classical random access protocols, have recently attracted an increasing interest. Impressive performance can be potentially obtained by combining CRA with massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO). In t…
