In this paper, for a single-input multiple-output (SIMO) system aided by a passive reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), the joint transmission accomplished by the single transmit antenna and the RIS with multiple controllable reflective elements is considered. Relying on a general capacity upper bound derived by using a maximum-trace argument, we respectively characterize the capacity slope of low-signal-to-noise-ratio channels and the exact capacity of rank-one channels, in which the optimal configuration of the RIS is proved to be beamforming-only with carefully-chosen phase shifts. To exploit the potential of modulating extra information on the RIS, by leveraging a strategy named partially beamforming and partially information-carrying based on QR decomposition and successive interference cancellation, we propose a novel transceiver architecture with only a single RF front end at the transmitter, by which the considered channel can be regarded as a concatenation of a vector Gaussian channel and several phase-modulated channels. Especially, we investigate a class of vector Gaussian channels with a hypersphere input support constraint, and not only generalize the existing result to arbitrary-dimensional real spaces but also present its high-order capacity asymptotics, by which both capacities of hypersphere-constrained channels and achievable rates of the proposed transceiver with two different signaling schemes can be well-approximated. Information-theoretic analyses show that the transceiver architecture designed for the SIMO channel has a boosted multiplexing gain, rather than one for the conventionally-used optimized beamforming scheme. Numerical results verify our derived asymptotic results and show notable superiority of the proposed transceiver as compared with the beamforming and the receive spatial modulation schemes.
本文针对由无源可重构智能表面(RIS)辅助的单输入多输出(SIMO)系统,考虑了由单发射天线和带有多个可控反射元件的 RIS 共同完成的传输。根据使用最大迹线论证得出的一般容量上限,我们分别描述了低信噪比信道的容量斜率和秩一信道的精确容量,其中 RIS 的最佳配置被证明为仅波束成形和精心选择的相移。为了挖掘在 RIS 上调制额外信息的潜力,我们利用基于 QR 分解和连续干扰消除的部分波束成形和部分信息携带策略,提出了一种新型收发器架构,该架构在发射器上只有一个射频前端,可将所考虑的信道视为矢量高斯信道和多个相位调制信道的组合。特别是,我们研究了一类具有超球输入支持约束的矢量高斯信道,不仅将现有结果推广到任意维实数空间,还提出了其高阶容量渐近线,从而可以很好地近似超球约束信道的容量和采用两种不同信令方案的拟议收发器的可实现速率。信息理论分析表明,为 SIMO 信道设计的收发器架构具有提升的复用增益,而不是传统使用的优化波束成形方案的增益。数值结果验证了我们推导出的渐近结果,并表明与波束成形和接收空间调制方案相比,建议的收发器具有显著优势。

Digital twins (DTs) have emerged as a promising enabler for representing the real-time states of physical worlds and realizing self-sustaining systems. In practice, DTs of physical devices, such as mobile users (MUs), are commonly deployed in multi-access edge computing (MEC) networks for the sake of reducing latency. To ensure the accuracy and fidelity of DTs, it is essential for MUs to regularly synchronize their status with their DTs. However, MU mobility introduces significant challenges to DT synchronization. Firstly, MU mobility triggers DT migration which could cause synchronization failures. Secondly, MUs require frequent synchronization with their DTs to ensure DT fidelity. Nonetheless, DT migration among MEC servers, caused by MU mobility, may occur infrequently. Accordingly, we propose a two-timescale DT synchronization and migration framework with reliability consideration by establishing a non-convex stochastic problem to minimize the long-term average energy consumption of MUs. We use Lyapunov theory to convert the reliability constraints and reformulate the new problem as a partially observable Markov decision-making process (POMDP). Furthermore, we develop a heterogeneous agent proximal policy optimization with Beta distribution (Beta-HAPPO) method to solve it. Numerical results show that our proposed Beta-HAPPO method achieves significant improvements in energy savings when compared with other benchmarks.

This paper considers reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-enabled federated learning (FL) system, where the FL users communicate with the access point (AP) via RIS. To reveal the impact of RIS and learning rate on FL aggregation, the theoretical result of minimum global communication rounds and local iteration rounds are derived. Based on the obtained convergence results of FL, we formulate an optimization problem to minimize the energy consumption of the proposed RIS-assisted FL system by jointly optimizing the passive beamforming of RIS, the CPU computing frequency, the bandwidth, and the transmit power of users. To solve the non-convex problem, we propose a block coordinate descent (BCD) optimization algorithm based on successive convex approximation (SCA) to decompose the original problem into four sub-problems. Specifically, the closed-form solutions are derived for the CPU frequency, RIS reflection matrix, and communication bandwidth. For the transmit power sub-problem, we propose a linear approximation algorithm based on the first-order Taylor expansion to ensure solution accuracy. Finally, simulation results show that: 1) the energy consumption of the proposed RIS-assisted FL system can be greatly reduced compared to that without optimizing the passive beamforming of RIS and the transmit power; 2) The learning performance of the proposed RIS-enabled FL system is closed to the FL without wireless communication interference; and 3) The proposed algorithm can not only significantly reduce energy consumption, but also fast convergence in terms of the FL model training and testing.

This paper studies the performance trade-off in a multi-user backscatter communication (BackCom) system for integrated sensing and communications (ISAC), where the multi-antenna ISAC transmitter sends excitation signals to power multiple single-antenna passive backscatter devices (BD), and the multi-antenna ISAC receiver performs joint sensing (localization) and communication tasks based on the backscattered signals from all BDs. Specifically, the localization performance is measured by the Cramér-Rao bound (CRB) on the transmission delay and direction of arrival (DoA) of the backscattered signals, whose closed-form expression is obtained by deriving the corresponding Fisher information matrix (FIM), and the communication performance is characterized by the sum transmission rate of all BDs. Then, to characterize the trade-off between the localization and communication performances, the CRB minimization problem with the communication rate constraint is formulated, and is shown to be non-convex in general. By exploiting the hidden convexity, we propose an approach that combines fractional programming (FP) and Schur complement techniques to transform the original problem into an equivalent convex form. Finally, numerical results reveal the trade-off between the CRB and sum transmission rate achieved by our proposed method.
