Interference Exploitation via Symbol-Level Precoding: Overview, State-of-the-Art and Future Directions

Interference is traditionally viewed as a performance limiting factor in wireless communication systems, which is to be minimized or mitigated. Nevertheless, a recent line of work has shown that by manipulating the interfering signals such that they add up constructively at the receiver side, known interference can be made beneficial and further improve the system performance in a variety of wireless scenarios, achieved by symbol-level precoding (SLP). This paper aims to provide a tutorial on interference exploitation techniques from the perspective of precoding design in a multi-antenna wireless communication system, by beginning with the classification of constructive interference (CI) and destructive interference (DI). The definition for CI is presented and the corresponding mathematical characterization is formulated for popular modulation types, based on which optimization-based precoding techniques are discussed. In addition, the extension of CI precoding to other application scenarios as well as for hardware efficiency is also described. Proof-of-concept testbeds are demonstrated for the potential practical implementation of CI precoding, and finally a list of open problems and practical challenges are presented to inspire and motivate further research directions in this area

An optimal path selection using lion optimization routing protocol for mobile ad-hoc network

MANET is a set of nodes that communicate with each other directly or indirectly. The nodes in MANET can be moved freely. The dynamic nature of the network makes several challenges. One of the challenges in routing is to transfer the data from the start node (source) to the end node (destination). Routing suffers from several metrics such as power-consuming, delay, packet delivery ratio, etc. This paper proposed a new protocol called the Lion Optimization Routing protocol (LORP) based on the lion algorithm and AODV protocol. This protocol uses the Lion Optimization Algorithm to select the optimal path. Firstly, we use lion optimization to select the optimal path using the LOA maximization algorithm depending on three main metrics Power Efficiency, Throughput, and Packet Delivery Ratio. Secondly, we use the LOA minimization algorithm to select the optimal path using two metrics Delay and Short Path. In LOA Maximization algorithm metrics calculated and choose the max path value. The result of this protocol is compared with AODV, DSR, and ANTHOCNET
