At the FD BS, the received signal from the desired MU is severely affected by the extremely strong self-interference (SI) from its transmit antennas to the receive antennas. In the presence of residual SI after imperfect SI cancellation, the downlink transmission rate maximization problem subject to a targeted uplink rate is formulated as a non-convex optimization problem to characterize the achievable rate region for the considered system. Considering the case in which the SI channel is strongly correlated, the above problem is transformed into a convex problem by exploiting the rank-one property of the SI channel, which can be solved efficiently. Finally, numerical results validate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.展开更多

We model the self-interference signals specifically with only the nonlinear distortion signals falling in receiving band considered. A joint estimation algorithm is proposed for compensating the time delay and frequency offset taking into account the IQ amplitude and phase imbalances from mixers. The memory effect and nonlinear distortion are adaptively estimated by the de-correlated normalized least mean square(DNLMS) algorithm. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that the proposed self-interference cancellation scheme can efficiently compensate the self-interference and outperform the existing traditional solutions.展开更多

We first analyze the multiple noises in the full duplex radio system and model such noises as an α - stable distribution. Then we formulate a novel non-Gaussian SI problem. Under the maximum correntropy criterion （MCC）, a robust digital non-linear self-interference cancellation algorithm is proposed for the SI channel estimation. A gradient descent based algorithm is derived to search the optimal solution. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve a smaller estimation error and a higher pseudo signal to interference plus noise ratio （PSINR） than the well-known least mean square （LMS） algorithm and least square （LS） algorithm.展开更多

文摘The orthogonal time frequency space(OTFS)modulation is a novel modulation scheme that can effectively cope with the high Doppler expansion caused by high mobility.Since it modulates data on delay-Doppler(DD)domain and makes full use of the sparse characteristics of DD domain,it has been widely studied to design efficient channel estimation and signal detection schemes.In this paper,we design a novel superimposed pilot pattern with transition band,which replaces the traditional embedded pilot(EP)guard zero-symbols,and perform a two-stage channel estimation.In the first stage,we fully utilize the dispersion characteristics of OTFS signal in DD domain,and use threshold decision to make coarse channel estimation.In the second stage,we use the results of the coarse estimation for iterative signal detection and accurate channel estimation.During the second stage,we make full use of the sparsity of the channel in DD domain,remodel the received signal into the form of sparse channel vector multiplied by channel coefficient matrix,and introduce Doppler index segmentation factor(DISF)to subdivide the Doppler index to solve the problem of fractional Doppler.Simulations reveal that,the scheme proposed in this paper has higher spectral efficiency compared with traditional EP scheme and lower peak-to-average power ratio(PAPR)compared with traditional superimposed pilot scheme.

文摘Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen(EPR)steering is an important resource for one-sided device-independent quantum information processing.This steering property can be destroyed by the interaction between a quantum system and its environment in practical applications.In this paper,we employ the characteristic function representation of probability distributions to investigate the quantum steering of two-mode continuous-variable states in a laser channel,where both the gain factor and the loss effect are taken into account.Firstly,we analyse the steering time of the two-mode squeezed vacuum state under one-mode and two-mode laser channels,respectively.We find that the gain process introduces additional noise into the two-mode squeezed vacuum state,thereby reducing the steerable time.Secondly,by quantifying EPR steering,we show that two-side loss exhibits smaller steerability than one-side loss,although they share the same two-way steerable time.In addition,we find that the more-gained party can steer the other party’s state,whereas the other party cannot steer the gained party beyond a certain threshold value.In this sense,the gain effect in one party appears to be equivalent to the loss effect in the other party.Our results pave the way for the distillation of EPR steering and quantum information processing in practical quantum channels.

文摘With the growing advancement of wireless communication technologies,WiFi-based human sensing has gained increasing attention as a non-intrusive and device-free solution.Among the available signal types,Channel State Information(CSI)offers fine-grained temporal,frequency,and spatial insights into multipath propagation,making it a crucial data source for human-centric sensing.Recently,the integration of deep learning has significantly improved the robustness and automation of feature extraction from CSI in complex environments.This paper provides a comprehensive review of deep learning-enhanced human sensing based on CSI.We first outline mainstream CSI acquisition tools and their hardware specifications,then provide a detailed discussion of preprocessing methods such as denoising,time–frequency transformation,data segmentation,and augmentation.Subsequently,we categorize deep learning approaches according to sensing tasks—namely detection,localization,and recognition—and highlight representative models across application scenarios.Finally,we examine key challenges including domain generalization,multi-user interference,and limited data availability,and we propose future research directions involving lightweight model deployment,multimodal data fusion,and semantic-level sensing.
文摘[Objective]As wireless power transfer(WPT)technology is increasingly deployed in scenarios such as electric vehicles,metallic foreign objects in the WPT area may cause local overheating and energy loss.Existing methods still suffer from poor edge/corner sensitivity,misjudgment due to fixed thresholds,and limited ability to extract position information.This work proposes a wireless power transfer-foreign object detection(WPT-FOD)method based on channel differential response and a dynamic-threshold corner-enhancement strategy,aiming to improve detection sensitivity,localization accuracy,and robustness without altering the overall coil layout.[Method]A multi-channel detection coil array is designed,and the self-inductance disturbance response of each channel coil is modeled.A channel-difference mapping mechanism is introduced to build a 2-D sensitivity matrix to characterize spatial position correlation.A corner-enhancement algorithm is developed to weight and amplify the collaborative response of adjacent channels,and a dynamic threshold adjustment mechanism is integrated to adapt to varying interference levels.Validation is carried out on a self-built 64-channel FOD platform by moving a typical metallic foreign object across central,edge,and corner regions,and by conducting comparative tests under different interference intensities.[Result]When a typical metallic foreign object moves to corner regions,the self-inductance disturbance of the detection coil increases from less than 0.02μH to more than 0.06μH,significantly enhancing the discrimination capability at corners.Under varying interference strengths,the dynamic threshold mechanism reduces the number of false positives from 13 to 2,demonstrating good environmental adaptability and stability.[Conclusion]By combining channel differential response,corner enhancement,and dynamic thresholding,the proposed WPT-FOD effectively mitigates edge/corner blind spots and fixed-threshold misjudgment,while providing localization capability and robustness.It markedly improves the accuracy of metallic foreign object detection in WPT systems and offers a feasible path and method reference for the safe application and engineering deployment of WPT systems.

文摘Split Learning(SL)has been promoted as a promising collaborative machine learning technique designed to address data privacy and resource efficiency.Specifically,neural networks are divided into client and server subnetworks in order to mitigate the exposure of sensitive data and reduce the overhead on client devices,thereby making SL particularly suitable for resource-constrained devices.Although SL prevents the direct transmission of raw data,it does not alleviate entirely the risk of privacy breaches.In fact,the data intermediately transmitted to the server sub-model may include patterns or information that could reveal sensitive data.Moreover,achieving a balance between model utility and data privacy has emerged as a challenging problem.In this article,we propose a novel defense approach that combines:(i)Adversarial learning,and(ii)Network channel pruning.In particular,the proposed adversarial learning approach is specifically designed to reduce the risk of private data exposure while maintaining high performance for the utility task.On the other hand,the suggested channel pruning enables the model to adaptively adjust and reactivate pruned channels while conducting adversarial training.The integration of these two techniques reduces the informativeness of the intermediate data transmitted by the client sub-model,thereby enhancing its robustness against attribute inference attacks without adding significant computational overhead,making it wellsuited for IoT devices,mobile platforms,and Internet of Vehicles(IoV)scenarios.The proposed defense approach was evaluated using EfficientNet-B0,a widely adopted compact model,along with three benchmark datasets.The obtained results showcased its superior defense capability against attribute inference attacks compared to existing state-of-the-art methods.This research’s findings demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed channel pruning-based adversarial training approach in achieving the intended compromise between utility and privacy within SL frameworks.In fact,the classification accuracy attained by the attackers witnessed a drastic decrease of 70%.
文摘The present study investigates the flow,heat,and mass transfer analysis in the bioconvection of nanofluid containing motile gyrotactic microorganisms through a semi-porous curved oscillatory channel with a magnetic field.These microorganisms produce density gradients by swimming,which induces macroscopic convection flows in the fluid.This procedure improves the mass and heat transfer,illustrating the interaction between biological activity and fluid dynamics.Furthermore,instead of considering traditional Fourier's and Fick's law the energy and concentration equations are developed by incorporating Cattaneo-Christov double diffusion theory.Moreover,to examine the influence of thermophoresis and Brownian diffusions in the fluid we have adopted the Buongiorno nanofluid model.Due to the oscillation of the surface of the channel,the mathematical development of the considered flow problem is obtained in the form of partial differential equations via the curvilinear coordinate system.The convergent series solution of the governing flow equations is obtained after applying the homotopy analysis method(HAM).The effects of different pertinent flow parameters on velocity,motile microorganism density distribution,concentration,pressure,temperature,and skin friction coefficient are examined and discussed in detail with the help of graphs and tables.It is observed during the current study that the density of microorganisms is enhanced for higher values of Reynolds number,Peclet number,radius of curvature variable,and Lewis number.

文摘Photocatalysis uses solar energy to convert nitrogen and water directly into ammonia,helping reduce dependence on fossil fuels and offering a way to integrate the nitrogen cycle into a clean energy network.Ohmic junctions between metals and semiconductors have demonstrated significant advantages in enhancing stability and reducing carrier recombination,but their application in photocatalytic nitrogen fixation is limited due to the difficulty of work function matching and the complexity of fabrication processes.In this study,density functional theory(DFT) calculations were used to confirm the work function matching between Bi and Bi_(2)Ti_(2)O_(7)(BTO),ensuring the formation of an Ohmic junction.A Bi-Bi_(2)Ti_(2)O_(7)(B-BTO) composite was successfully synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal method,using bismuth nitrate and titanium sulfate as precursors.Compared to pure BTO,the B-BTO heterojunction,driven by dual electron injection from both metal Bi and BTO,significantly increased the ammonia synthesis rate to 686.95 μmol g^(-1)h^(-1),making it the most active nitrogen fixation material among similar pyrochlorebased catalysts to date.The differential charge density calculations,photocurrent(i-t) measurements,and photoluminescence(PL) tests further validate the role of Ohmic contacts in enhancing charge transfer and prolonging carrier lifetimes.This research provides valuable insight into the application of Ohmic junctions in photocatalytic nitrogen fixation and contributes to advancements in this field.

文摘The in-band full-duplex(IBFD)mechanism is of interest in beyond 5 G systems due to its potential to enhance spectral efficiency and reduce delay.To achieve the maximum gain of IBFD systems,the significant self-interference(SI)must be efficiently suppressed.The challenges of wideband selfinterference cancellation(SIC)lie in the radio frequency(RF)domain,where the performance will be limited by the hardware.This paper reviews current RF cancellation mechanisms and investigates an efficient mechanism for future wideband systems with minimum complexity.The working principle and implementation details of multi-tap cancellers are first introduced,then an optical domain-based RF canceller is reviewed,and a novel low-cost design is proposed.To minimize the cost and complexity of the canceller,the minimum required number of taps are analyzed.Simulation results show that with the commonly used 12-bits analog-to-digital converter(ADC)at the receiver,the novel optical domain-based canceller can enable efficient SIC in the 3 GPP LTE specifications compatible system within 400 MHz bandwidth.

文摘In this paper,a general scheme in digital self-interference cancellation at baseband for zero-IF full-duplex transceivers is presented. We model the self-interference signals specifically with only the nonlinear distortion signals falling in receiving band considered. A joint estimation algorithm is proposed for compensating the time delay and frequency offset taking into account the IQ amplitude and phase imbalances from mixers. The memory effect and nonlinear distortion are adaptively estimated by the de-correlated normalized least mean square(DNLMS) algorithm. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that the proposed self-interference cancellation scheme can efficiently compensate the self-interference and outperform the existing traditional solutions.

文摘Full duplex radio increases the frequency efficiency but its performance is limited by the self-interference （SI）. We first analyze the multiple noises in the full duplex radio system and model such noises as an α - stable distribution. Then we formulate a novel non-Gaussian SI problem. Under the maximum correntropy criterion （MCC）, a robust digital non-linear self-interference cancellation algorithm is proposed for the SI channel estimation. A gradient descent based algorithm is derived to search the optimal solution. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve a smaller estimation error and a higher pseudo signal to interference plus noise ratio （PSINR） than the well-known least mean square （LMS） algorithm and least square （LS） algorithm.
