The Ideal

Suppose that a multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system is developed from scratch to equally envelop a defined region with optimal spectrum efficiency (SE) in next generation wireless communication systems such as sixth-generation (6G) and beyond networks. What are the ideal number of user terminals U, number of base stations antennas, and used pilot reuse factor? The purpose of this paper is to address this specific issue. Three interference levels are specified for this. Based on these interference levels, signal-to-interference-and-noise ratios (SINRs) are extracted. Closed-form spectrum efficiency equations are thus obtained. As a function of the base station (BS) antenna number, simulations are carried out considering multiple pilot reuse factors and diverse processing schemes such as Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) and Zero-Forcing (ZF). From the results, it is understood that U varies according to the processing schemes. Therefore, evaluating the results considering the fixed number of users K will not give an accurate result in determining the design parameters for the next generation communication systems. In general, these results are useful statements that spectrum efficiency is maximized when the ideal number of users U is used in multi-cell systems.

Recently, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) have received much interest from both academia and industry due to their flexibility and cost-effectiveness in adjusting the phase and amplitude of wireless signals with low-cost passive reflecting elements. In particular, many RIS-aided techniques have been proposed to improve both data rate and energy efficiency for 6G wireless communication systems. In this paper, we propose a novel RIS-based channel randomization (RCR) technique for improving physical-layer security (PLS) for a time-division duplex (TDD) downlink cellular wire-tap network which consists of a single base station (BS) with multiple antennas, multiple legitimate pieces of user equipment (UE), multiple eavesdroppers (EVEs), and multiple RISs. We assume that only a line-of-sight (LOS) channel exists among the BS, the RISs, and the UE due to propagation characteristics of tera-hertz (THz) spectrum bands that may be used in 6G wireless communication systems. In the proposed technique, each RIS first pseudo-randomly generates multiple reflection matrices and utilizes them for both pilot signal duration (PSD) in uplink and data transmission duration (DTD) in downlink. Then, the BS estimates wireless channels of UE with reflection matrices of all RISs and selects the UE that has the best secrecy rate for each reflection matrix generated. It is shown herein that the proposed technique outperforms the conventional techniques in terms of achievable secrecy rates.

With the rapid development of high-mobility wireless communication systems, e.g., high-speed train (HST) and metro wireless communication systems, more and more attention has been paid to the wireless communication technology in tunnel-like scenarios. In this paper, we propose a three-dimensional (3D) nonstationary multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel model with high-mobility wireless communication systems using leaky coaxial cable (LCX) inside a rectangular tunnel over the 1.8 GHz band. Taking into account single-bounce scattering under line-of-sight (LoS) and non-line-of-sight (NLoS) propagations condition, the analytical expressions of the channel impulse response (CIR) and temporal correlation function (T-CF) are derived. In the proposed channel model, it is assumed that a large number of scatterers are randomly distributed on the sidewall of the tunnel and the roof of the tunnel. We analyze the impact of various model parameters, including LCX spacing, time separation, movement velocity of Rx, and K-factor, on the T-CF of the MIMO channel model. For HST, the results of some further studies on the maximum speed of 360 km/h are given. By comparing the T-CF between the dipole MIMO system and the LCX-MIMO system, we can see that the performance of the LCX-MIMO system is better than that of the dipole MIMO system.

AbstractIntelligent reflecting surface (IRS) has emerged as an innovative and disruptive solution to boost the spectral and energy efficiency and enlarge the coverage of wireless communication systems. However, the existing literature on IRS mainly concentrates on wireless communication systems assisted by single or multiple distributed IRSs, which are not always effective. In view of this issue, this paper considers a special double-IRS-assisted wireless communication system, where IRS1 and IRS2 are deployed near the base station (BS) and the user, respectively, and the transmitted signals reach the user via the cascaded BS-IRS1-IRS2-user channel only. We cooperatively optimize transmit and passive beamforming on the two IRSs based on the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to maximize the received signal power. Simulation indicates that despite no direct line-of-sight (LoS) path from the BS to the user, an excellent signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is available at the receiver with the aid of two IRSs, which demonstrates that it is feasible to assist communication by double reflection links composed of two IRSs. Additionally, we unexpectedly find that when the positions of the two IRSs are fixed, by exchanging the positions of the BS and the user, the obtainable SNRs are similar.
