高铁场景下联合天线与IOS单元选择的分布式IOS-SM传输方案

针对高铁场景下封闭车厢带来的高信号穿透损耗导致传输速率下降问题,提出一种分布式智能全表面（intelligent omni-surface,IOS）辅助空间调制（spatial modulation,SM）的传输方案。首先,采用SM技术保证索引信息部分不受穿透损耗的影响;然后,为了减小远距离IOS车窗的高路径损耗和功率损耗,根据最大化接收信噪比原则对分布式IOS遍历选择,激活最佳IOS车窗传输SM调制信息。最后,为了减小缺失直视路径增益对系统容量性能的影响,基于功率损耗模型,采用天线移除原则和排序选择方式,对接收天线和IOS单元进行动态选择激活。仿真结果表明,相比于传统中继转发和可重构智能超表面-空间调制（reconfigurable intelligence surface-SM,RIS-SM）方案,所提方案更适合高铁通信场景。并且在功率损耗模型下,联合天线与IOS单元选择的分布式IOS-SM方案仍能够保证系统高性能传输。     

一种高资源效率的Fast-RCSC极化码译码器

针对现有极化码软输出译码器存在的高资源消耗与低资源效率,设计了一种快速低复杂度软取消(Fast Reduced Complexity Soft-Cancelation,Fast-RCSC)译码算法及其译码器硬件架构。Fast-RCSC算法对内部特殊结点进行完整计算,在减少译码周期的同时仍有较好译码性能。基于不同特殊结点公式之间存在相似性,进而通过对引入的特殊结点模块进行计算结果复用以及计算模块分时复用,减少特殊结点模块资源消耗。通过共用存储单元以及对不足存储单元数据宽度的数据进行合并,降低存储资源消耗。在华润上华(Central Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation,CSMC)180nm工艺下综合结果表明,设计的译码器在码长为1024的情况下,面积为2.92mm²,资源效率为245.2Mbps/mm²,相比现有软输出译码器有不同程度的提升。

Ultrafast Switchable Passive Radiative Cooling Smart Windows with Synergistic Optical Modulation

Switchable passive radiative cooling (PRC) smart windows can modulate sunlight transmission and spontaneously emit heat to outer space through atmospheric transparent window, presenting great potential in building energy conservation. However, realizing stable and on-demand control of the cooling efficiency for PRC materials is still challenging. Herein, an electro-controlled polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) smart window showing PRC property is designed and prepared by adding mid-infrared emitting reactive monomers into the conventional PDLC matrix. It is found that not only the electro-optical properties but also the PRC efficiency of PRC PDLC film are tunable by regulating the content of the mid-infrared emitting components, film thickness, and micromorphology. This advanced PRC PDLC material achieves a near/sub-ambient temperature when the solar irradiance is below 400 W m⁻² and can dynamically manage daytime cooling efficiency. Importantly, its PRC efficiency is capable of being tuned in an on-demand and ultrafast millisecond-scale way, whose controllable transparency enables multistage heat regulation. This study is hoped to provide new inspiration in the preparation of advanced optical devices and energy-efficient equipment.     

Local Electronic Structure Modulation Enables Fast-Charging Capability for Li-Rich Mn-Based Oxides Cathodes With Reversible Anionic Redox Activity

Anionic and cationic redox chemistries boost ultrahigh specific capacities of Li-rich Mn-based oxides cathodes (LRMO). However, irreversible oxygen evolution and sluggish kinetics result in continuous capacity decay and poor rate performance, restricting the commercial fast-charging cathodes application for lithium ion batteries. Herein, the local electronic structure of LRMO is appropriately modulated to alleviate oxygen release, enhance anionic redox reversibility, and facilitate Li⁺ diffusion via facile surface defect engineering. Concretely, oxygen vacancies integrated on the surface of LRMO reduce the density of states of O 2p band and trigger much delocalized electrons to distribute around the transition metal, resulting in less oxygen release, enhancing reversible anionic redox and the MnO₆ octahedral distortion. Besides, partially reduced Mn and lattice vacancies synchronously stimulate the electrochemical activity and boost the electronic conductivity, Li⁺ diffusion rate, and fast charge transfer. Therefore, the modified LRMO exhibits enhanced cyclic stability and fast-charging capability: a high discharging capacity of 212.6 mAh·g⁻¹ with 86.98% capacity retention after 100 cycles at 1 C is obtained and to charge to its 80%, SOC is shortened to 9.4 min at 5 C charging rate. This work will draw attention to boosting the fast-charging capability of LRMO via the local electronic structure modulation.     

集中式MIMO雷达研究进展：正交波形设计与信号处理

集中式多输入多输出（Multiple Input Multiple Output,MIMO）雷达通常利用正交波形增加发射波形自由度,采用数字阵列拓展空间收发自由度,使得雷达接收机的天线孔径获得明显扩展,最终带来空间分辨率、测角精确度、杂波抑制能力等大幅度提升。但是,这些性能提升的前提是发射波形具有正交特性。事实上,在实际应用中,在不牺牲时域/频域资源情况下,受限于时宽带宽积,无法获得完全正交的波形集合,从而限制了MIMO雷达系统性能。本文对集中式MIMO雷达正交波形复用的技术原理进行了系统回顾,分别归纳了三种快时间发射波形设计方法：时分复用（Time Division Multiplexing, TDM）、码分复用（Code Division Multiplexing,CDM）和频分复用 （Frequency Division Multiplexing, FDM）,以及两种慢时间发射波形设计方法：多普勒分复用（Doppler Division Multiplexing,DDM）和随机相位编码波形,并对其优缺点进行对比。同时,对快时间MIMO和慢时间MIMO的信号处理流程进行归纳综合,给出基于匹配滤波的集中式MIMO雷达统一信号处理框架。为了展示不同波形对成像性能的影响,本文给出了基于三维匹配滤波的MIMO雷达成像结果。最后,结合实际应用问题,指出当前MIMO雷达面临的技术难点和发展趋势。     

Improved aquila optimization-based parameter evaluation framework and meta-heuristic algorithm in radio-over-fiber SpatialMux multi-input multi-output long-term evolution system

In heterogeneous access network, Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) radio-over-fiber (RoF) system is an efficient approach for multiple signal transmission with low cost and complexity. The performance of RoF fronthaul system in MIMO system will be varied with different nonlinear effects. By adjusting various transmission parameters, such as the input signal power or the laser bias current, the nonlinear impacts produced by the RoF system can be reduced. In this paper, a novel algorithm Improved Aquila Optimization (IAO) is proposed to optimize transmission circumstances of MIMO RoF system. It determines the appropriate bias current for both lasers and Radio Frequency (RF) signal power in a short period. The input signals are wavelength multiplexed with Intensity Modulation and Direct Detection (IM/DD) applied. The carrier as well as transmission frequency is governed by the MIMO-Long-Term Evolution (LTE) standard. The proposed system is implemented in MATLAB, and the performance is evaluated. The experimental results show that fast convergence and trade-off between noise and nonlinearity are obtained with varying bandwidth. In the experimental scenario, the maximum Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) of 1.88, 3.14, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 3.204, and 2.698 was attained for both quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) and quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) modulation. [Correction added on 24 April 2023, after first online publication: the SNR values were corrected in the preceding sentence.] For 100 iterations, the processing time was reduced to 0.137 s. When compared with the conventional state-of-the-art approaches, the accuracy and computational complexity of the proposed approach are improved.     

Effective identification of dominant fully absorbing sets for Raptor-like LDPC codes

The error-rate floor of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes is attributed to the trapping sets of their Tanner graphs. Among them, fully absorbing sets dominantly affect the error-rate performance, especially for short blocklengths. Efficient methods to identify the dominant trapping sets of LDPC codes were thoroughly researched as exhaustively searching them is NP-hard. However, the existing methods are ineffective for Raptor-like LDPC codes, which have many types of trapping sets. An effective method to identify dominant fully absorbing sets of Raptor-like LDPC codes is proposed. The search space of the proposed algorithm is optimized into the Tanner subgraphs of the codes to afford time-efficiency and search-effectiveness. For 5G New Radio (NR) base graph (BG) 2 LDPC codes for short blocklengths, the proposed algorithm finds more dominant fully absorbing sets within one seventh of the computation time of the existing search algorithm, and its search-effectiveness is verified using importance sampling. The proposed method is also applied to 5G NR BG1 LDPC code and Advanced Television Systems Committee 3.0 type A LDPC code for large blocklengths.
