Jointly Sparse Support Recovery via Deep Auto-encoder with Applications in MIMO-based Grant-Free Random Access for mMTC
In this paper, a data-driven approach is proposed to jointly design the
common sensing (measurement) matrix and jointly support recovery method for
complex signals, using a standard deep auto-encoder for real numbers. The
auto-encoder in the proposed approach includes an encoder that mimics the noisy
linear measurement process for jointly sparse signals with a common sensing
matrix, and a decoder that approximately performs jointly sparse support
recovery based on the empirical covariance matrix of noisy linear measurements.
The proposed approach can effectively utilize the feature of common support and
properties of sparsity patterns to achieve high recovery accuracy, and has
significantly shorter computation time than existing methods. We also study an
application example, i.e., device activity detection in Multiple-Input
Multiple-Output (MIMO)-based grant-free random access for massive machine type
communications (mMTC). The numerical results show that the proposed approach
can provide pilot sequences and device activity detection with better detection
accuracy and substantially shorter computation time than well-known recovery
methods.Comment: 5 pages, 8 figures, to be publised in IEEE SPAWC 2020. arXiv admin

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
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
