    The first stock exchange in China, the Shanghai Stock Exchange, opened n December 1990. Since then, China’s securities market has been a journey of unprecedented development. However, the fledgling securities market is troubled by rampant securities fraud, evidence by Chinese officials’ open admission that investment in China’s securities market is very risky because of fraud and corruption. After a tortuous six-year drafting process, on December 29, 1998, the Chinese parliament passed the country’s first national Securities Law (“the Chinese Securities Law”), hoping to regulate the overwhelming fraud and corruption in China’s securities market. The Chinese Securities Law devoted one entire section of the Chapter “Securities Trade,” entitled “Prohibited Trading Activities,” to regulate securities fraud

    Movable Antennas for Wireless Communication: Opportunities and Challenges

    Full text link
    Movable antenna (MA) technology is a recent development that fully exploits the wireless channel spatial variation in a confined region by enabling local movement of the antenna. Specifically, the positions of antennas at the transmitter and/or receiver can be dynamically changed to obtain better channel conditions for improving the communication performance. In this article, we first provide an overview of the promising applications for MA-aided wireless communication. Then, we present the hardware architecture and channel characterization for MA systems, based on which the variation of the channel gain with respect to the MA's position is illustrated. Furthermore, we analyze the performance advantages of MAs over conventional fixed-position antennas, in terms of signal power improvement, interference mitigation, flexible beamforming, and spatial multiplexing. Finally, we discuss the main design challenges and their potential solutions for MA-aided communication systems

    Movable-Antenna Array Enhanced Beamforming: Achieving Full Array Gain with Null Steering

    Full text link
    Conventional beamforming with fixed-position antenna (FPA) arrays has a fundamental trade-off between maximizing the signal power (array gain) over a desired direction and simultaneously minimizing the interference power over undesired directions. To overcome this limitation, this letter investigates the movable antenna (MA) array enhanced beamforming by exploiting the new degree of freedom (DoF) via antenna position optimization, in addition to the design of antenna weights. We show that by jointly optimizing the antenna positions vector (APV) and antenna weights vector (AWV) of a linear MA array, the full array gain can be achieved over the desired direction while null steering can be realized over all undesired directions, under certain numbers of MAs and null-steering directions. The optimal solutions for AWV and APV are derived in closed form, which reveal that the optimal AWV for MA arrays requires only the signal phase adjustment with a fixed amplitude. Numerical results validate our analytical solutions for MA array beamforming and show their superior performance to the conventional beamforming techniques with FPA arrays.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Communications Letter

    Movable-Antenna Enhanced Multiuser Communication via Antenna Position Optimization

    Movable antenna (MA) is a promising technology to improve wireless communication performance by varying the antenna position in a given finite area at the transceivers to create more favorable channel conditions. In this paper, we investigate the MA-enhanced multiple-access channel (MAC) for the uplink transmission from multiple users each equipped with a single MA to a base station (BS) with a fixed-position antenna (FPA) array. A field-response based channel model is used to characterize the multi-path channel between the antenna array of the BS and each user's MA with a flexible position. To evaluate the MAC performance gain provided by MAs, we formulate an optimization problem for minimizing the total transmit power of users, subject to a minimum-achievable-rate requirement for each user, where the positions of MAs and the transmit powers of users, as well as the receive combining matrix at the BS are jointly optimized. To solve this non-convex optimization problem involving intricately coupled variables, we develop two algorithms based on zero-forcing (ZF) and minimum mean square error (MMSE) combining methods, respectively. Specifically, for each algorithm, the combining matrix of the BS and the total transmit power of users are expressed as a function of the MAs' position vectors, which are then optimized by using the gradient descent method in an iterative manner. It is shown that the proposed ZF-based and MMSE-based algorithms can converge to high-quality suboptimal solutions with low computational complexities. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed solutions for MA-enhanced multiple access systems can significantly decrease the total transmit power of users as compared to conventional FPA systems under both perfect and imperfect field-response information.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communication

    Performance Analysis and Optimization for Movable Antenna Aided Wideband Communications

    Full text link
    Movable antenna (MA) has emerged as a promising technology to enhance wireless communication performance by enabling the local movement of antennas at the transmitter (Tx) and/or receiver (Rx) for achieving more favorable channel conditions. As the existing studies on MA-aided wireless communications have mainly considered narrow-band transmission in flat fading channels, we investigate in this paper the MA-aided wideband communications employing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in frequency-selective fading channels. Under the general multi-tap field-response channel model, the wireless channel variations in both space and frequency are characterized with different positions of the MAs. Unlike the narrow-band transmission where the optimal MA position at the Tx/Rx simply maximizes the single-tap channel amplitude, the MA position in the wideband case needs to balance the amplitudes and phases over multiple channel taps in order to maximize the OFDM transmission rate over multiple frequency subcarriers. First, we derive an upper bound on the OFDM achievable rate in closed form when the size of the Tx/Rx region for antenna movement is arbitrarily large. Next, we develop a parallel greedy ascent (PGA) algorithm to obtain locally optimal solutions to the MAs' positions for OFDM rate maximization subject to finite-size Tx/Rx regions. To reduce computational complexity, a simplified PGA algorithm is also provided to optimize the MAs' positions more efficiently. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed PGA algorithms can approach the OFDM rate upper bound closely with the increase of Tx/Rx region sizes and outperform conventional systems with fixed-position antennas (FPAs) under the wideband channel setup

    Electromyography (EMG) plays a vital role in detecting medical abnormalities and analyzing the biomechanics of human or animal movements. However, long-term EMG signal monitoring will increase the bandwidth requirements and transmission system burden. Compressed sensing (CS) is attractive for resource-limited EMG signal monitoring. However, traditional CS reconstruction algorithms require prior knowledge of the signal, and the reconstruction process is inefficient. To solve this problem, this paper proposed a reconstruction algorithm based on deep learning, which combines the Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) and the fully connected layer to learn the mapping relationship between the compressed measurement value and the original signal, and it has been verified in the Ninapro database. The results show that, for the same subject, compared with the traditional reconstruction algorithms orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP), basis pursuit (BP), and Modified Compressive Sampling Matching Pursuit (MCo), the reconstruction quality and efficiency of the proposed method is significantly improved under various compression ratios (CR)
