  • for: This paper is written for the development of a frequency-domain detection (FDD) technique for bioFET-based molecular communication receivers (MC-Rxs) to overcome molecular cross-talk in the time domain.
  • methods: The paper proposes the use of a frequency-domain detection technique that exploits the difference in binding reaction rates of different ligand types reflected in the power spectrum of the ligand-receptor binding noise to decode transmitted concentration signals.
  • results: The paper demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed FDD technique in decoding transmitted concentration signals under stochastic molecular interference compared to a widely used time-domain detection (TDD) technique, and verifies the analytical performance bounds of the FDD through a particle-based spatial stochastic simulator simulating reactions on the MC-Rx in microfluidic channels.
    Abstract Molecular Communications (MC) is a bio-inspired communication paradigm that uses molecules as information carriers, requiring unconventional transceivers and modulation/detection techniques. Practical MC receivers (MC-Rxs) can be implemented using field-effect transistor biosensor (bioFET) architectures, where surface receptors reversibly react with ligands. The time-varying concentration of ligand-bound receptors is translated into electrical signals via field effect, which is used to decode the transmitted information. However, ligand-receptor interactions do not provide an ideal molecular selectivity, as similar ligand types, i.e., interferers, co-existing in the MC channel, can interact with the same type of receptors. Overcoming this molecular cross-talk in the time domain can be challenging, especially when Rx has no knowledge of the interferer statistics or operates near saturation. Therefore, we propose a frequency-domain detection (FDD) technique for bioFET-based MC-Rxs that exploits the difference in binding reaction rates of different ligand types reflected in the power spectrum of the ligand-receptor binding noise. We derive the bit error probability (BEP) of the FDD technique and demonstrate its effectiveness in decoding transmitted concentration signals under stochastic molecular interference compared to a widely used time-domain detection (TDD) technique. We then verified the analytical performance bounds of the FDD through a particle-based spatial stochastic simulator simulating reactions on the MC-Rx in microfluidic channels.
    摘要 молекулярcommunications(MC)是一种生物体注意的通信模式,使用分子作为信息传递者,需要不同寻常的接收器和模ulation/探测技术。实际的MC接收器(MC-Rx)可以通过场效 транзистор生物感应(bioFET)建筑实现,其表面受体逆转受体与抗体结合。时间变化的抗体结合的分子浓度通过场效转换成电学信号,用于解码传输的信息。但是,抗体-受体交互不提供理想的分子选择性,因为同类抗体在MC通道中可能与同类受体结合。在时间频谱中解决这种分子交叉通信可以是挑战,特别是当接收器没有知道干扰者统计或在满载状态下操作时。因此,我们提出了频率域检测(FDD)技术,该技术利用不同抗体类型在绑定反应速率上的差异,反映在抗体-受体绑定噪声的能量спектrum中。我们计算了FDD技术的比特错误概率(BEP),并证明其在对抗杂噪声的情况下比时频域检测(TDD)技术更有效地解码传输的浓度信号。我们然后通过使用粒子基的空间随机仿真器模拟MC-Rx在微 fluidic通道中的反应,验证了我们的分析性能下限。

    Abstract Estimating closely spaced frequency components of a signal is a fundamental problem in statistical signal processing. In this letter, we introduce 1-D real-valued and complex-valued shifted window (Swin) transformers, referred to as SwinFreq and CVSwinFreq, respectively, for line-spectra frequency estimation on 1-D complex-valued signals. Whereas 2-D Swin transformer-based models have gained traction for optical image super-resolution, we introduce for the first time a complex-valued Swin module designed to leverage the complex-valued nature of signals for a wide array of applications. The proposed approach overcomes the limitations of the classical algorithms such as the periodogram, MUSIC, and OMP in addition to state-of-the-art deep learning approach cResFreq. SwinFreq and CVSwinFreq boast superior performance at low signal-to-noise ratio SNR and improved resolution capability while requiring fewer model parameters than cResFreq, thus deeming it more suitable for edge and mobile applications. We find that the real-valued Swin-Freq outperforms its complex-valued counterpart CVSwinFreq for several tasks while touting a smaller model size. Finally, we apply the proposed techniques for radar range profile super-resolution using real data. The results from both synthetic and real experimentation validate the numerical and empirical superiority of SwinFreq and CVSwinFreq to the state-of-the-art deep learning-based techniques and traditional frequency estimation algorithms. The code and models are publicly available at https://github.com/josiahwsmith10/spectral-super-resolution-swin.

    Abstract We consider the downlink of a cooperative cellular communications system, where several base-stations around each mobile cooperate and perform zero-forcing to reduce the received interference at the mobile. We derive closed-form expressions for the asymptotic performance of the network as the number of antennas per base station grows large. These expressions capture the trade off between various system parameters, and characterize the joint effect of noise and interference (where either noise or interference is asymptotically dominant and where both are asymptotically relevant). The asymptotic results are verified using Monte Carlo simulations, which indicate that they are useful even when the number of antennas per base station is only moderately large. Additionally, we show that when the number of antennas per base station grows large, power allocation can be optimized locally at each base station. We hence present a power allocation algorithm that achieves near optimal performance while significantly reducing the coordination overhead between base stations. The presented analysis is significantly more challenging than the uplink analysis, due to the dependence between beamforming vectors of nearby base stations. This statistical dependence is handled by introducing novel bounds on marked shot-noise point processes with dependent marks, which are also useful in other contexts.

To achieve these ambitious goals, extremely large-scale antenna arrays (ELAAs) and terahertz communications constitute a pair of promising technologies. This will result in future wireless communications occurring in the near-field regions. To accurately portray the channel characteristics of near-field wireless propagation, spherical wavefront-based models are required and present both opportunities as well as challenges.

    Abstract Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC), which simultaneously performs sensing and communication functions using the same frequency band and hardware platform, has emerged as a promising technology for future wireless systems. However, the weak echo signal received by the low-sensitivity ISAC receiver severely limits the sensing performance. Active reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) has become a prospective solution by situationally manipulating the wireless propagations and amplifying the signals. In this paper, we investigate the deployment of active RIS-empowered ISAC systems to enhance radar echo signal quality as well as communication performance. In particular, we focus on the joint design of the base station (BS) transmit precoding and the active RIS reflection beamforming to optimize the parameter estimation performance in terms of Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) subject to the service users' signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) requirements. An efficient algorithm based on block coordinate descent (BCD), semidefinite relaxation (SDR), and majorization-minimization (MM) is proposed to solve the formulated challenging non-convex problem. Finally, simulation results validate the effectiveness of the developed algorithm and the potential of employing active RIS in ISAC systems to enhance direct-of-arrival (DoA) estimation performance.
