Emergent communication for AR
Mobile augmented reality (MAR) is widely acknowledged as one of the
ubiquitous interfaces to the digital twin and Metaverse, demanding unparalleled
levels of latency, computational power, and energy efficiency. The existing
solutions for realizing MAR combine multiple technologies like edge, cloud
computing, and fifth-generation (5G) networks. However, the inherent
communication latency of visual data imposes apparent limitations on the
quality of experience (QoE). To address the challenge, we propose an emergent
semantic communication framework to learn the communication protocols in MAR.
Specifically, we train two agents through a modified Lewis signaling game to
emerge a discrete communication protocol spontaneously. Based on this protocol,
two agents can communicate about the abstract idea of visual data through
messages with extremely small data sizes in a noisy channel, which leads to
message errors. To better simulate real-world scenarios, we incorporate channel
uncertainty into our training process. Experiments have shown that the proposed
scheme has better generalization on unseen objects than traditional object
recognition used in MAR and can effectively enhance communication efficiency
through the utilization of small-size messages
Near-Field Integrated Sensing and Communication: Performance Analysis and Beamforming Design
This paper explores the potential of near-field beamforming (NFBF) in
integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems with extremely large-scale
arrays (XL-arrays). The large-scale antenna arrays increase the possibility of
having communication users and targets of interest in the near field of the
base station (BS). The paper first establishes the models of electromagnetic
(EM) near-field spherical waves and far-field plane waves. With the models, we
analyze the near-field beam focusing ability and the far-field beam steering
ability by finding the gain-loss mathematical expression caused by the
far-field steering vector mismatch in the near-field case. We formulate the
NFBF design problem as minimizing the weighted summation of radar and the
communication beamforming errors under a total power constraint and solve this
quadratically constrained quadratic programming (QCQP) problem using the least
squares (LS) method. Moreover, the Cram\'er-Rao bound (CRB) for target
parameter estimation is derived to verify the performance of NFBF. Furthermore,
we also perform power minimization using convex optimization while ensuring the
required communication and sensing quality-of-service (QoS). The simulation
results show the influence of model mismatch on near-field ISAC and the
performance gain of transmit beamforming from the additional distance dimension
of near-field.Comment: under revie
Green Holographic MIMO Communications With A Few Transmit Radio Frequency Chains
Holographic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications are widely
recognized as a promising candidate for the next-generation air interface. With
holographic MIMO surface, the number of the spatial degrees-of-freedom (DoFs)
considerably increases and also significantly varies as the user moves. To
fully employ the large and varying number of spatial DoFs, the number of
equipped RF chains has to be larger than or equal to the largest number of
spatial DoFs. However, this causes much waste as radio frequency (RF) chains
(especially the transmit RF chains) are costly and power-hungry. To avoid the
heavy burden, this paper investigates green holographic MIMO communications
with a few transmit RF chains under an electromagnetic-based communication
model. We not only look at the fundamental capacity limits but also propose an
effective transmission, namely non-uniform holographic pattern modulation
(NUHPM), to achieve the capacity limit in the high signal-to-noise (SNR)
regime. The analytical result sheds light on the green evaluation of MIMO
communications, which can be realized by increasing the size of the antenna
aperture without increasing the number of transmit RF chains. Numerical results
are provided to verify our analysis and to show the great performance gain by
employing the additional spatial DoFs as modulation resources.Comment: 10 figures; has been accepted by TGC
Analysis of Reliability Correlation Degree of Rolling Bearings Based on Zero-Failure Data
Modern equipment has higher requirements for the reliability of rolling bearings. The time and economic cost of obtaining bearing failure data through test methods are getting higher. Usually, truncation time tests of small sample are used to obtain zero-failure data of bearings. Based on the zero-failure data model and multi-layer Bayesian theory, this paper improves the reliability evaluation method of rolling bearings by changing the values of hyperparameters, and calculates the estimated value of failure probability at each truncation time to obtain the reliability of the bearing. This paper adopts the theory of grey relational degree to analyze the relationship and change law of bearing reliability at each truncation time, to understand the reliability change trend of rolling bearing more comprehensively. Experiments show that the method is reasonable
Semantic Communications with Ordered Importance using ChatGPT
This letter proposes a novel semantic communication scheme with ordered
importance (SCOI) using the chat generative pre-trained transformer (ChatGPT).
In the proposed SCOI scheme, ChatGPT plays the role of a consulting assistant.
Given a message to be transmitted, the transmitter first queries ChatGPT to
output the importance order of each word. According to the importance order,
the transmitter then performs an unequal error protection transmission strategy
to make the transmission of essential words more reliable. Unlike the existing
semantic communication schemes, SCOI is compatible with existing source-channel
separation designs and can be directly embedded into current communication
systems. Our experimental results show that both the transmission bit error
rate (BER) of important words and the semantic loss measured by ChatGPT are
much lower than the existing communication schemes
