This letter considers the downlink transmission in the rate-splitting multiple access (RSMA) aided system in slow-fading channels. Specifically, a source transmits the intended common and private streams both at constant rates to the served K users at the same time-frequency resources, while an external eavesdropper tries to overhear the messages sent to the K legitimate users. In contrast to the ...Show More
Matrix graph signals, which are associated with two factor graphs, are ubiquitous in daily life, such as time-varying physical signals in sensor networks and rating matrices in recommendation systems. In practice, due to the row-wise and column-wise smoothness, they are modeled as bandlimited (BL) graph signals on the product of two factor graphs. In this paper, we propose a fast sampling method f...Show More
In the structured codebook design for sparse code multiple access (SCMA) systems, the constellation structure, constellation mapping matrix (CMM), and bit labeling are critical factors influencing the error performance of optimized codebooks. However, existing multi-stage codebook design methods limit the potential coding gain. Besides, although the minimum Euclidean distance (MED) is commonly use...Show More
The high-dynamic characteristics of vehicular networks make it difficult to satisfy strict deterministic quality-of-service (QoS) conditions. Statistical QoS provisioning instead of deterministic QoS provisioning can provide an efficient way to satisfy delay-bounded QoS requirements of vehicular services. Different from the existing work, this paper considers the heterogeneity of statistical QoS p...Show More
This paper proposes a blind equalization algorithm for dispersive wireless communication systems that employ high throughput quadrature amplitude modulation signals under both Gaussian and impulsive noise environments.

This paper investigates a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted wireless powered mobile edge computing (MEC) system, where an access point (AP) integrated with an MEC server first transmits energy signals to charge multiple energy-constrained devices in the downlink (DL), and then the devices utilize the harvested energy to perform MEC offloading in the uplink (UL) assisted by an RIS. ...Show More
This paper investigates covert communications in an integrated sensing and communications system, where a dual-functional base station (called Alice) covertly transmits signals to a covert user (called Bob) while sensing multiple targets, with one of them acting as a potential watcher (called Willie) and maliciously eavesdropping on legitimate communications. To shelter the covert communications, ...Show More
A novel dynamic hybrid beamforming architecture is proposed to achieve the spatial multiplexing-power consumption tradeoff for near-field multiple-input multiple-output (MI-MO) networks, where a switch module is integrated between the baseband digital and analog phase-shift module to control the number of activated RF chains. Based on this architecture, an optimization problem is formulated that m...Show More
In this letter, we propose a symbiotic non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) mutually reinforcing paradigm for green massive access to better meet the diverse and challenging requirements of Internet-of-Things. In particular, the backscatter device (BD) utilizes the same spectrum resources of the legacy users for reflection while providing beneficial multipath to enhance the performance of legacy ...Show More
Driven by the ever-increasing requirements of ultrahigh spectral efficiency, ultralow latency, and massive connectivity, the forefront of wireless research calls for the design of advanced next-generation multiple access schemes to facilitate the provisioning of these stringent demands. This inspires the embrace of nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) in future wireless communication networks. Nev...Show More

To further minimize the upper-bo...Show More
We propose a matrix-based precoding scheme for the common message in downlink rate splitting multiple access (RSMA), where a multi-antenna transmitter serves $K$ single-antenna users at a time. In the proposed precoding scheme, the matched filtering (MF) precodes the common message, while the private messages are preceded by zero-forcing (ZF). We derive the closed-form expression for the outage ...Show More
This paper designs a helper-assisted offloading strategy in non-orthogonal multiple access enabled mobile edge computing systems, in order to guarantee the quality of service of the energy/delay-sensitive user equipments (UEs).

We investigate joint power allocation and decoding order selection (PA-DOS) aimed at enhancing the outage performance of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems. By considering the diverse target rates of users, new important properties of NOMA are revealed: When users’ target rates satisfy certain conditions, the channel state information (CSI) is not required by PA-DOS to minimize the syst...Show More
