Wireless MIMO Switching: Weighted Sum Mean Square Error and Sum Rate Optimization
This paper addresses joint transceiver and relay design for a wireless
multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) switching scheme that enables data
exchange among multiple users. Here, a multi-antenna relay linearly precodes
the received (uplink) signals from multiple users before forwarding the signal
in the downlink, where the purpose of precoding is to let each user receive its
desired signal with interference from other users suppressed. The problem of
optimizing the precoder based on various design criteria is typically
non-convex and difficult to solve. The main contribution of this paper is a
unified approach to solve the weighted sum mean square error (MSE) minimization
and weighted sum rate maximization problems in MIMO switching. Specifically, an
iterative algorithm is proposed for jointly optimizing the relay's precoder and
the users' receive filters to minimize the weighted sum MSE. It is also shown
that the weighted sum rate maximization problem can be reformulated as an
iterated weighted sum MSE minimization problem and can therefore be solved
similarly to the case of weighted sum MSE minimization. With properly chosen
initial values, the proposed iterative algorithms are asymptotically optimal in
both high and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regimes for MIMO switching,
either with or without self-interference cancellation (a.k.a., physical-layer
network coding). Numerical results show that the optimized MIMO switching
scheme based on the proposed algorithms significantly outperforms existing
approaches in the literature.Comment: This manuscript is under 2nd review of IEEE Transactions on

A New Two-Dimensional Functional Material with Desirable Bandgap and Ultrahigh Carrier Mobility
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors with direct and modest bandgap and
ultrahigh carrier mobility are highly desired functional materials for
nanoelectronic applications. Herein, we predict that monolayer CaP3 is a new 2D
functional material that possesses not only a direct bandgap of 1.15 eV (based
on HSE06 computation), and also a very high electron mobility up to 19930 cm2
V-1 s-1, comparable to that of monolayer phosphorene. More remarkably, contrary
to the bilayer phosphorene which possesses dramatically reduced carrier
mobility compared to its monolayer counterpart, CaP3 bilayer possesses even
higher electron mobility (22380 cm2 V-1 s-1) than its monolayer counterpart.
The bandgap of 2D CaP3 can be tuned over a wide range from 1.15 to 0.37 eV
(HSE06 values) through controlling the number of stacked CaP3 layers. Besides
novel electronic properties, 2D CaP3 also exhibits optical absorption over the
entire visible-light range. The combined novel electronic, charge mobility, and
optical properties render 2D CaP3 an exciting functional material for future
nanoelectronic and optoelectronic applications
ContraNorm: A Contrastive Learning Perspective on Oversmoothing and Beyond
Oversmoothing is a common phenomenon in a wide range of Graph Neural Networks
(GNNs) and Transformers, where performance worsens as the number of layers
increases. Instead of characterizing oversmoothing from the view of complete
collapse in which representations converge to a single point, we dive into a
more general perspective of dimensional collapse in which representations lie
in a narrow cone. Accordingly, inspired by the effectiveness of contrastive
learning in preventing dimensional collapse, we propose a novel normalization
layer called ContraNorm. Intuitively, ContraNorm implicitly shatters
representations in the embedding space, leading to a more uniform distribution
and a slighter dimensional collapse. On the theoretical analysis, we prove that
ContraNorm can alleviate both complete collapse and dimensional collapse under
certain conditions. Our proposed normalization layer can be easily integrated
into GNNs and Transformers with negligible parameter overhead. Experiments on
various real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed
ContraNorm. Our implementation is available at

Impact of signaling schemes on iterative linear minimum-mean-square-error detection
In this paper, we study the iterative detection problem for a coded system with multi-ary modulation. We show that, with iterative linear minimum-mean-square-error (LMMSE) detection, superposition coded modulation (SCM) can provide performance superior to that with other traditional signaling schemes used in trellis coded modulation (TCM) and bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM). This finding provides a useful guideline for system design considering inter-symbol interference (ISI) and other forms of interference. Simulation results are provided to illustrate the efficiency of the iterative LMMSE detection with different signaling schemes. © 2008 IEEE
Study on separation characteristics of two-phase flow in double helical separator
The helical separator plays an important role in improving the working efficiency of electric submersible pump. Separation efficiency of two-phase flow in double helical separator is studied by numerical simulation and theoretical calculation. It is found that the separation efficiency of helical separator increases with the increase of gas-liquid ratio and flow rate. At the same time, under the condition of constant helical number and gas-liquid ratio, the separation efficiency is best when the even difference of pitch is 10Â mm

Oscillation-specific nodal alterations in early to middle stages Parkinsons disease.
Background: Different oscillations of brain networks could carry different dimensions of brain integration. We aimed to investigate oscillation-specific nodal alterations in patients with Parkinsons disease (PD) across early stage to middle stage by using graph theory-based analysis. Methods: Eighty-eight PD patients including 39 PD patients in the early stage (EPD) and 49 patients in the middle stage (MPD) and 36 controls were recruited in the present study. Graph theory-based network analyses from three oscillation frequencies (slow-5: 0.01-0.027 Hz; slow-4: 0.027-0.073 Hz; slow-3: 0.073-0.198 Hz) were analyzed. Nodal metrics (e.g. nodal degree centrality, betweenness centrality and nodal efficiency) were calculated. Results: Our results showed that (1) a divergent effect of oscillation frequencies on nodal metrics, especially on nodal degree centrality and nodal efficiency, that the anteroventral neocortex and subcortex had high nodal metrics within low oscillation frequencies while the posterolateral neocortex had high values within the relative high oscillation frequency was observed, which visually showed that network was perturbed in PD; (2) PD patients in early stage relatively preserved nodal properties while MPD patients showed widespread abnormalities, which was consistently detected within all three oscillation frequencies; (3) the involvement of basal ganglia could be specifically observed within slow-5 oscillation frequency in MPD patients; (4) logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses demonstrated that some of those oscillation-specific nodal alterations had the ability to well discriminate PD patients from controls or MPD from EPD patients at the individual level; (5) occipital disruption within high frequency (slow-3) made a significant influence on motor impairment which was dominated by akinesia and rigidity. Conclusions: Coupling various oscillations could provide potentially useful information for large-scale network and progressive oscillation-specific nodal alterations were observed in PD patients across early to middle stages
