In the context of emerging stacked intelligent metasurface (SIM)-based holographic MIMO (HMIMO) systems, a fundamental problem is to study the mutual information (MI) between transmitted and received signals to establish their capacity. However, direct optimization or analytical evaluation of the MI, particularly for discrete signaling, is often intractable. To address this challenge, we adopt the channel cutoff rate (CR) as an alternative optimization metric for the MI maximization. In this regard, we propose an alternating projected gradient method (APGM), which optimizes the CR of a SIM-based HMIMO system by adjusting signal precoding and the phase shifts across the transmit and receive SIMs on a layer-by-layer basis. Simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm significantly enhances the CR, achieving substantial gains, compared to the case with random SIM phase shifts, that are proportional to those observed for the corresponding MI. This justifies the effectiveness of using the channel CR for the MI optimization. Moreover, we demonstrate that the integration of digital precoding, even on a modest scale, has a significant impact on the ultimate performance of SIM-aided systems.
在新出现的基于堆叠智能元面(SIM)的全息多输入多输出(HMIMO)系统中,一个基本问题是研究发射和接收信号之间的互信息(MI),以确定其容量。然而,直接优化或分析评估互信息(尤其是离散信号)往往难以实现。为了应对这一挑战,我们采用信道截止率 (CR) 作为 MI 最大化的替代优化指标。为此,我们提出了一种交替投影梯度法(APGM),通过逐层调整信号预编码以及发送和接收 SIM 的相移来优化基于 SIM 的 HMIMO 系统的 CR。仿真结果表明,与采用随机 SIM 相移的情况相比,所提出的算法大大提高了信噪比,实现了与相应 MI 观察到的信噪比成正比的大幅增益。这证明了在 MI 优化中使用信道 CR 的有效性。此外,我们还证明了数字预编码的集成,即使规模不大,也会对 SIM 辅助系统的最终性能产生重大影响。

This letter investigates the physical-layer security of multi-user networks and proposes a secure and interference-free transmission scheme. The scheme constructs the transmitted signals of different users by using the characteristics of the Hadamard matrix, and injects self-interference and artificial noise that can be eliminated by legitimate users but not by eavesdroppers, thereby significantly improving security. We analyze the asymptotic security performance and obtain the secrecy outage probability when the number of users is large enough. Finally, simulation results exhibit the security performance of the proposed scheme.

In this letter, we investigate the hybrid precoding design problem for the near-field wideband terahertz (THz) systems. Due to the large physical size of the whole array, the extremely large-scale antenna array (ELAA) exhibits spatial non-stationarity across the array. Users only effectively communicate with a portion of the antenna elements of ELAA called visibility regions (VRs). To leverage this characteristic for reducing the computational complexity in hybrid precoding design, we initially develop a VR detection algorithm to identify the corresponding VRs for different users. Subsequently, we employ the acquired VR information for true-time delayer (TTD)-based hybrid precoding design to mitigate the beam split effect. Simulation results validate that the proposed algorithm significantly reduces the computational complexity compared to other benchmark schemes while maintaining negligible performance loss.

Semantic communication, a paradigm concentrating on correctly transmitting underlying semantic information instead of bit sequences, has proved effective. Deep learning (DL) enabled methods are mainly used with basic natural language processing (NLP) techniques for the semantic communication of texts. However, most of the previous work approaches the problem by treating text as a generic continuum of sequences of textual information without leveraging underlying intrinsic and advanced linguistic properties of natural languages. A prime example of such linguistic features is the sememes, the smallest and indivisible semantic units of textual information (analogous to the Periodic Table of Matter). This letter proposes Sememe-based Semantic Communications (SememeSC), a semantic communication paradigm that utilizes sememe knowledge in natural languages. We provided experimental results verifying that the proposed SememeSC performs superior to baselines in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and Rayleigh fading channels.
