Compressive Sensing-Based Grant-Free Massive Access for 6G Massive Communication
The advent of the sixth-generation (6G) of wireless communications has given
rise to the necessity to connect vast quantities of heterogeneous wireless
devices, which requires advanced system capabilities far beyond existing
network architectures. In particular, such massive communication has been
recognized as a prime driver that can empower the 6G vision of future
ubiquitous connectivity, supporting Internet of Human-Machine-Things for which
massive access is critical. This paper surveys the most recent advances toward
massive access in both academic and industry communities, focusing primarily on
the promising compressive sensing-based grant-free massive access paradigm. We
first specify the limitations of existing random access schemes and reveal that
the practical implementation of massive communication relies on a dramatically
different random access paradigm from the current ones mainly designed for
human-centric communications. Then, a compressive sensing-based grant-free
massive access roadmap is presented, where the evolutions from single-antenna
to large-scale antenna array-based base stations, from single-station to
cooperative massive multiple-input multiple-output systems, and from unsourced
to sourced random access scenarios are detailed. Finally, we discuss the key
challenges and open issues to shed light on the potential future research
directions of grant-free massive access.Comment: Accepted by IEEE IoT Journa

MSAT-X: A technical introduction and status report
A technical introduction and status report for the Mobile Satellite Experiment (MSAT-X) program is presented. The concepts of a Mobile Satellite System (MSS) and its unique challenges are introduced. MSAT-X's role and objectives are delineated with focus on its achievements. An outline of MSS design philosophy is followed by a presentation and analysis of the MSAT-X results, which are cast in a broader context of an MSS. The current phase of MSAT-X has focused notably on the ground segment of MSS. The accomplishments in the four critical technology areas of vehicle antennas, modem and mobile terminal design, speech coding, and networking are presented. A concise evolutionary trace is incorporated in each area to elucidate the rationale leading to the current design choices. The findings in the area of propagation channel modeling are also summarized and their impact on system design discussed. To facilitate the assessment of the MSAT-X results, technology and subsystem recommendations are also included and integrated with a quantitative first-generation MSS design

Multiuser MIMO-OFDM for Next-Generation Wireless Systems
This overview portrays the 40-year evolution of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) research. The amelioration of powerful multicarrier OFDM arrangements with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems has numerous benefits, which are detailed in this treatise. We continue by highlighting the limitations of conventional detection and channel estimation techniques designed for multiuser MIMO OFDM systems in the so-called rank-deficient scenarios, where the number of users supported or the number of transmit antennas employed exceeds the number of receiver antennas. This is often encountered in practice, unless we limit the number of users granted access in the base stationโs or radio portโs coverage area. Following a historical perspective on the associated design problems and their state-of-the-art solutions, the second half of this treatise details a range of classic multiuser detectors (MUDs) designed for MIMO-OFDM systems and characterizes their achievable performance. A further section aims for identifying novel cutting-edge genetic algorithm (GA)-aided detector solutions, which have found numerous applications in wireless communications in recent years. In an effort to stimulate the cross pollination of ideas across the machine learning, optimization, signal processing, and wireless communications research communities, we will review the broadly applicable principles of various GA-assisted optimization techniques, which were recently proposed also for employment inmultiuser MIMO OFDM. In order to stimulate new research, we demonstrate that the family of GA-aided MUDs is capable of achieving a near-optimum performance at the cost of a significantly lower computational complexity than that imposed by their optimum maximum-likelihood (ML) MUD aided counterparts. The paper is concluded by outlining a range of future research options that may find their way into next-generation wireless systems
Signal Processing and Learning for Next Generation Multiple Access in 6G
Wireless communication systems to date primarily rely on the orthogonality of
resources to facilitate the design and implementation, from user access to data
transmission. Emerging applications and scenarios in the sixth generation (6G)
wireless systems will require massive connectivity and transmission of a deluge
of data, which calls for more flexibility in the design concept that goes
beyond orthogonality. Furthermore, recent advances in signal processing and
learning have attracted considerable attention, as they provide promising
approaches to various complex and previously intractable problems of signal
processing in many fields. This article provides an overview of research
efforts to date in the field of signal processing and learning for
next-generation multiple access, with an emphasis on massive random access and
non-orthogonal multiple access. The promising interplay with new technologies
and the challenges in learning-based NGMA are discussed
