Delay-Doppler domain decision feedback turbo equalization for OTFS modulation

Emerging evidence indicates that orthogonal time–frequency space (OTFS) modulation is a potential candidate modulation scheme for high mobility wireless communications. However, OTFS may experience significant inter-symbol interference (ISI) and inter-Doppler interference (IDI) in the receiver. In this paper, we propose a soft decision feedback turbo equalization for OTFS transmission over delay-Doppler channels to jointly combat both interferences. A novel block decision feedback equalization (BDFE) algorithm is constructed using the band feature of the channels in the delay-Doppler domain. The feedforward and feedback filters are designed by the delay-time channels coefficients. According to the designed filter, an equivalent system model is employed to allow turbo equalization. The posterior probability is established using the soft prior information and feedback filter, and then fed back to the channel decoder as external information. Both theoretical analysis and simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in improving the bit error rate (BER) performance and combat various interference. Numerical simulations are finally provided to justify the validity of the proposed scheme in improving the bit error rate (BER) performance and combating various interference.

Memory-efficient path metric update method in map decoder implementation

A novel memory efficient path metric update is proposed for Maximum A Posteriori （MAP） decoder of turbo codes to reduce the memory requirement of state metric information calculation. For MAP decoder, the same memory can be shared by the forward and backward metrics with this metric update scheme. The forward and backward metrics update can be performed at the same time. And all of the extrinsic information can be calculated at the end of metric update. Therefore, the latency and area in the implementation will be reduced with the proposed metric update method.     

Highly Luminescent Lanthanide Metal-Organic Frameworks with Tunable Color for Nanomolar Detection of Iron(III), Ofloxacin and Gossypol and Anti-counterfeiting Applications

Solvothermal reaction of 5,5′-(pyridine-2,6-diylbis(oxy))diisophthalic acid (H₄L) with europium(III) or terbium(III) nitrates in acetonitrile-water (1 : 1) at 120 °C gave rise to isostructural 2D coordination polymers, [Ln(HL)(H₂O)₃]_∞ ( NIIC-1-Eu and NIIC-1-Tb ), the layers of which are composed by eight-coordinated lanthanide(III) ions interconnected by triply deprotonated ligands HL³⁻. The layers are packed in the crystal without any specific intermolecular interactions between them, allowing the facile preparation of stable water suspensions, in which NIIC-1-Tb exhibited top-performing sensing properties through luminescence quenching effect with exceptionally low detection limits towards Fe³⁺ (LOD 8.62 nM), ofloxacin (OFX) antibiotic (LOD 3.91 nM) and cotton phytotoxicant gossypol (LOD 2.27 nM). In addition to low detection limit and high selectivity, NIIC-1-Tb features fast sensing response (within 60–90 seconds), making it superior to other MOF-based sensors for metal cations and organic toxicants. The photoluminescence quantum yield of NIIC-1-Tb was 93 %, one of the highest among lanthanide MOFs. Mixed-metal coordination polymers NIIC-1-Eu_xTb_1−x demonstrated efficient photoluminescence, the color of which could be modulated by the excitation wavelength and time delay for emission monitoring (within 1 millisecond). Furthermore, an original 2D QR-coding scheme was designed for anti-counterfeiting labeling of goods based on unique and tunable emission spectra of NIIC-1-Ln coordination polymers.
