Exploiting Amplitude Control in Intelligent Reflecting Surface Aided Wireless Communication with Imperfect CSI
Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is a promising new paradigm to achieve
high spectral and energy efficiency for future wireless networks by
reconfiguring the wireless signal propagation via passive reflection. To reap
the potential gains of IRS, channel state information (CSI) is essential,
whereas channel estimation errors are inevitable in practice due to limited
channel training resources. In this paper, in order to optimize the performance
of IRS-aided multiuser systems with imperfect CSI, we propose to jointly design
the active transmit precoding at the access point (AP) and passive reflection
coefficients of IRS, each consisting of not only the conventional phase shift
and also the newly exploited amplitude variation. First, the achievable rate of
each user is derived assuming a practical IRS channel estimation method, which
shows that the interference due to CSI errors is intricately related to the AP
transmit precoders, the channel training power and the IRS reflection
coefficients during both channel training and data transmission. Then, for the
single-user case, by combining the benefits of the penalty method, Dinkelbach
method and block successive upper-bound minimization (BSUM) method, a new
penalized Dinkelbach-BSUM algorithm is proposed to optimize the IRS reflection
coefficients for maximizing the achievable data transmission rate subjected to
CSI errors; while for the multiuser case, a new penalty dual decomposition
(PDD)-based algorithm is proposed to maximize the users' weighted sum-rate.
Simulation results are presented to validate the effectiveness of our proposed
algorithms as compared to benchmark schemes. In particular, useful insights are
drawn to characterize the effect of IRS reflection amplitude control
(with/without the conventional phase shift) on the system performance under
imperfect CSI.Comment: 15 pages, 10 figures, accepted by IEEE Transactions on Communication
Robust Transceiver Design for MISO Interference Channel with Energy Harvesting
In this paper, we consider multiuser multiple-input single-output (MISO)
interference channel where the received signal is divided into two parts for
information decoding and energy harvesting (EH), respectively. The transmit
beamforming vectors and receive power splitting (PS) ratios are jointly
designed in order to minimize the total transmission power subject to both
signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and EH constraints. Most joint
beamforming and power splitting (JBPS) designs assume that perfect channel
state information (CSI) is available; however CSI errors are inevitable in
practice. To overcome this limitation, we study the robust JBPS design problem
assuming a norm-bounded error (NBE) model for the CSI. Three different solution
approaches are proposed for the robust JBPS problem, each one leading to a
different computational algorithm. Firstly, an efficient semidefinite
relaxation (SDR)-based approach is presented to solve the highly non-convex
JBPS problem, where the latter can be formulated as a semidefinite programming
(SDP) problem. A rank-one recovery method is provided to recover a robust
feasible solution to the original problem. Secondly, based on second order cone
programming (SOCP) relaxation, we propose a low complexity approach with the
aid of a closed-form robust solution recovery method. Thirdly, a new iterative
method is also provided which can achieve near-optimal performance when the
SDR-based algorithm results in a higher-rank solution. We prove that this
iterative algorithm monotonically converges to a Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT)
solution of the robust JBPS problem. Finally, simulation results are presented
to validate the robustness and efficiency of the proposed algorithms.Comment: 13 pages, 8 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Phase transitions and spin excitations of spin-1 bosons in optical lattice
We investigate ground state properties of spin-1 bosonic system trapped in
optical lattice with extended standard basis operator (SBO) method. For both
ferromagnetic () systems, we
analytically figure out the symmetry properties in Mott-insulator and
superfluid phases, which would provide a deeper insight into the MI-SF phase
transition process. Then by applying self-consistent approach to the method, we
include the effect of quantum and thermal fluctuations and derive the MI-SF
transition phase diagram, which is in quantitative agreement with recent
Monte-Carlo simulation at zero temperature, and at finite temperature, we find
the underestimation of finite-temperature-effect in the mean-field
approximation method. If we further consider the spin excitations in the
insulating states of spin-1 system in external field, distinct spin phases are
expected. Therefore, in the Mott lobes with and atoms per site, we
give analytical and numerical boundaries of the singlet, nematic, partially
magnetic and ferromagnetic phases in the magnetic phase diagrams.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figure
Local implementation of nonlocal operations of block forms
We investigate the local implementation of nonlocal operations with the block
matrix form, and propose a protocol for any diagonal or offdiagonal block
operation. This method can be directly generalized to the two-party multiqubit
case and the multiparty case. Especially, in the multiparty cases, any diagonal
block operation can be locally implemented using the same resources as the
multiparty control-U operation discussed in Ref. [Eisert et al., Phys. Rev. A
62, 052317(2000)]. Although in the bipartite case, this kind of operations can
be transformed to control-U operation using local operations, these
transformations are impossible in the multiparty cases. We also compare the
local implementation of nonlocal block operations with the remote
implementation of local operations, and point out a relation between them.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figure
The Nature of Novelty Detection
Sentence level novelty detection aims at reducing redundant sentences from a
sentence list. In the task, sentences appearing later in the list with no new
meanings are eliminated. Aiming at a better accuracy for detecting redundancy,
this paper reveals the nature of the novelty detection task currently
overlooked by the Novelty community Novelty as a combination of the partial
overlap (PO, two sentences sharing common facts) and complete overlap (CO, the
first sentence covers all the facts of the second sentence) relations. By
formalizing novelty detection as a combination of the two relations between
sentences, new viewpoints toward techniques dealing with Novelty are proposed.
Among the methods discussed, the similarity, overlap, pool and language
modeling approaches are commonly used. Furthermore, a novel approach, selected
pool method is provided, which is immediate following the nature of the task.
Experimental results obtained on all the three currently available novelty
datasets showed that selected pool is significantly better or no worse than the
current methods. Knowledge about the nature of the task also affects the
evaluation methodologies. We propose new evaluation measures for Novelty
according to the nature of the task, as well as possible directions for future
study.Comment: This paper pointed out the future direction for novelty detection
