Millimeter-Wave (mmWave) communication has been considered as one of enabling technologies for the sixth generation (6G) network and beyond to boost the system throughput, which however is hard to provide robust and reliable transmissions since it is easy to be blocked. Coordinated multi-beam transmission has emerged as an effective way to overcome this challenge. In this letter, we first define an

Interference Analysis of Coexisting 5G Networks and NGSO FSS Receivers in the 12-GHz Band IEEE Wirel. Commun. Lett. (IF 6.3) Pub Date : 2023-05-31 Ta-Seen Reaz Niloy, Zoheb Hassan, Nathan Stephenson, Vijay K. Shah
Despite the promising attributes of the 12 GHz band for expanding terrestrial 5G network’s capacity and coverage, interference between coexisting networks remains a major issue. This letter develops a simulation-based evaluation framework and investigates the harmful interference between the 5G radio links and incumbent fixed non-geostationary satellite orbit (NGSO) fixed satellite services (FSS) receivers

Uplink CoMP Transmission for Cellular-Connected UAV Networks IEEE Wirel. Commun. Lett. (IF 6.3) Pub Date : 2023-05-30 Hongguang Sun, Yuhang Nan, Yanan Li, Xijun Wang, Shuqin Li, Tony Q. S. Quek
In this letter, we study the coordinated multipoint (CoMP) scheme in the uplink cellular-connected UAV network. By considering the LoS and NLoS components in air-to-ground (A2G) transmission, we adopt the strongest average received signal strength (RSS)-based CoMP scheme. We then develop an analytical framework to evaluate the network performance in terms of coverage probability and area spectral efficiency

RIS-Based Opposite Phase Index Modulation and Its DNN-Assisted Joint Sequence Detection IEEE Wirel. Commun. Lett. (IF 6.3) Pub Date : 2023-05-30 Xiaoping Jin, Xingchi Li, Yu Feng, Miaowen Wen, Chongwen Huang, Yudong Yao
Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), a key technology for future wireless communications, allows intelligent reflection of signals and information transmission. The RIS-based modulation is considered a prospective information transmission mechanism. In this letter, a RIS-based opposite phase index modulation system is proposed, in which RIS can enhance the received power of user signals while

Security-Reliability Tradeoff in RSMA-Based Communications Against Eavesdropper Collusion IEEE Wirel. Commun. Lett. (IF 6.3) Pub Date : 2023-05-25 Huiyun Xia, Xiaokang Zhou, Shuai Han, Cheng Li
This letter exploits secure beamforming for achieving security-reliability tradeoff in rate splitting multiple access (RSMA)-based communications against eavesdropper collusion. Considering user fairness, we maximize the minimum secrecy rate (MSR) among all legitimate users subject to the quality of service (QoS) constraints and transmit power constraint. A feasibility check problem is first presented
