Simultaneous Active and Passive Information Transfer for RIS-Aided MIMO Systems: Iterative Decoding and Evolution Analysis
This paper investigates the potential of reconfigurable intelligent surface
(RIS) for passive information transfer in a RIS-aided multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO) system. We propose a novel simultaneous active and
passive information transfer (SAPIT) scheme. In SAPIT, the transmitter (Tx) and
the RIS deliver information simultaneously, where the RIS information is
carried through the RIS phase shifts embedded in reflected signals. We
introduce the coded modulation technique at the Tx and the RIS. The main
challenge of the SAPIT scheme is to simultaneously detect the Tx signals and
the RIS phase coefficients at the receiver. To address this challenge, we
introduce appropriate auxiliary variables to convert the original signal model
into two linear models with respect to the Tx signals and one entry-by-entry
bilinear model with respect to the RIS phase coefficients. With this auxiliary
signal model, we develop a message-passing-based receiver algorithm.
Furthermore, we analyze the fundamental performance limit of the proposed
SAPIT-MIMO transceiver. Notably, we establish the state evolution to predict
the receiver performance in a large-size system. We further analyze the
achievable rates of the Tx and the RIS, which provides insight into the code
design for sum-rate maximization. Numerical results validate our analysis and
show that the SAPIT scheme outperforms the passive beamforming counterpart in
achievable sum rate of the Tx and the RIS.Comment: 15 pages, 7 figure
Research Progress on the Role of M6A Methylation Modification in the Genesis and Development of GC
Modifcation of M6ARNAmethylation is the most prevalent form of RNAediting in eukaryotic organisms. The m6A-methylated regulatory protein is intimately associated with biological processes, including GC proliferation, invasion, and metastasis. This protein is anticipated to serve as a target for the clinical treatment of GC in the future. This comprehensive review delineates the most recent advance-ments and clinical implications of m6Aaberrant modifcation in GC, aiming to furnish a novel research avenue for the exploration of GC’s future direction
Spatial second-order positive and asymptotic preserving filtered schemes for nonlinear radiative transfer equations
A spatial second-order scheme for the nonlinear radiative transfer equations
is introduced in this paper. The discretization scheme is based on the filtered
spherical harmonics () method for the angular variable and the unified
gas kinetic scheme (UGKS) framework for the spatial and temporal variables
respectively. In order to keep the scheme positive and second-order accuracy,
firstly, we use the implicit Monte Carlo linearization method [6] in the
construction of the UGKS numerical boundary fluxes. Then, by carefully
analyzing the constructed second-order fluxes involved in the macro-micro
decomposition, which is induced by the angular discretization, we
establish the sufficient conditions that guarantee the positivity of the
radiative energy density and material temperature. Finally, we employ linear
scaling limiters for the angular variable in the reconstruction and for
the spatial variable in the piecewise linear slopes reconstruction
respectively, which are shown to be realizable and reasonable to enforce the
sufficient conditions holding. Thus, the desired scheme, called the
-based UGKS, is obtained. Furthermore, in the regime
and the regime , a simplified spatial second-order scheme,
called the -based SUGKS, is presented, which possesses all the
properties of the non-simplified one. Inheriting the merit of UGKS, the
proposed schemes are asymptotic preserving. By employing the method for
the angular variable, the proposed schemes are almost free of ray effects. To
our best knowledge, this is the first time that spatial second-order, positive,
asymptotic preserving and almost free of ray effects schemes are constructed
for the nonlinear radiative transfer equations without operator splitting.
Various numerical experiments are included to validate the properties of the
proposed schemes
A hybrid performance evaluation approach for urban logistics using extended cross-efficiency with prospect theory and OWA operator
Urban logistics performance evaluation can provide reference for further
improving its level. However, most performance evaluation for
urban logistics premises that decision-makers (DMs) are completely
rational, which may not conform to the actual situation. Therefore,
this article aims to consider the DMs’ psychological factors in the performance
evaluation of urban logistics. Specifically, the cross-efficiency
evaluation (CEE) method with the DMs’ psychological factors
is used to measure the urban logistics efficiency in the central area of
Yangtze River Delta (YRD) urban agglomeration in China in 2019. The
main contributions in this article are to propose a hybrid CEE method
with prospect theory and ordered weighted average (OWA) operator
for urban logistics industry and to expand the evaluation perspectives
of urban logistics performance. The main conclusions are
obtained: (1) The DMs’ optimism level can indeed affect the efficiency
value and ranking of urban logistics. (2) The aggregation
based on the OWA operator is fair and reasonable because it can
make all self-evaluation efficiencies play the same role. (3) To make
the efficiencies and rankings of urban logistics in the central area of
the YRD have credibility and discrimination, the DMs’ optimism level
range is best between 0.8 and 0.8177
