Modulation Classification for MIMO-OFDM Signals via Approximate Bayesian Inference
The problem of modulation classification for a multiple-antenna (MIMO) system
employing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is investigated
under the assumption of unknown frequency-selective fading channels and
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The classification problem is formulated as a
Bayesian inference task, and solutions are proposed based on Gibbs sampling and
mean field variational inference. The proposed methods rely on a selection of
the prior distributions that adopts a latent Dirichlet model for the modulation
type and on the Bayesian network formalism. The Gibbs sampling method converges
to the optimal Bayesian solution and, using numerical results, its accuracy is
seen to improve for small sample sizes when switching to the mean field
variational inference technique after a number of iterations. The speed of
convergence is shown to improve via annealing and random restarts. While most
of the literature on modulation classification assume that the channels are
flat fading, that the number of receive antennas is no less than that of
transmit antennas, and that a large number of observed data symbols are
available, the proposed methods perform well under more general conditions.
Finally, the proposed Bayesian methods are demonstrated to improve over
existing non-Bayesian approaches based on independent component analysis and on
prior Bayesian methods based on the `superconstellation' method.Comment: To be appear in IEEE Trans. Veh. Technolog
New Constructions of Zero-Correlation Zone Sequences
In this paper, we propose three classes of systematic approaches for
constructing zero correlation zone (ZCZ) sequence families. In most cases,
these approaches are capable of generating sequence families that achieve the
upper bounds on the family size () and the ZCZ width () for a given
sequence period ().
Our approaches can produce various binary and polyphase ZCZ families with
desired parameters and alphabet size. They also provide additional
tradeoffs amongst the above four system parameters and are less constrained by
the alphabet size. Furthermore, the constructed families have nested-like
property that can be either decomposed or combined to constitute smaller or
larger ZCZ sequence sets. We make detailed comparisons with related works and
present some extended properties. For each approach, we provide examples to
numerically illustrate the proposed construction procedure.Comment: 37 pages, submitted to IEEE Transactions on Information Theor
Future prospects of mass-degenerate Higgs bosons in the -conserving two-Higgs-doublet model
The scenario of two mass-degenerate Higgs bosons within the general
two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) is revisited. We focus on the global picture
when two -even Higgs bosons of and are nearly mass-degenerate. A
global fit to the signal strength of the 125 GeV Higgs measured at the LHC is
performed. Based on the best-fit result of the 2HDM mixing angles
, theoretical constraints, charged and -odd Higgs boson
direct search constraints and the electroweak precision constraints are imposed
to the 2HDM parameter space. We present the signal predictions of the channels for the benchmark models at the LHC 14 TeV runs. We also
study the direct Higgs boson pair productions at the LHC, and the Z-associated
Higgs boson pair production search at the ILC 500 GeV runs, as well as the
indirect probes at the CEPC 250 GeV run. We find that the mass-degenerate Higgs
boson scenario in the Type-II 2HDM can be fully probed by these future
experimental searches.Comment: 31 pages, 9 figures, 5 tables, matches with the PRD published versio
