Optimal One- and Two-Sided Multi-level Amplitude Shift Keying Modulation for RIS-Assisted Noncoherent Communication Systems

Q: How can the proposed optimal ASK modulation schemes be extended to multi-user RIS-assisted noncoherent communication systems?

The proposed optimal amplitude shift keying (ASK) modulation schemes can be extended to multi-user RIS-assisted noncoherent communication systems by leveraging the inherent capabilities of reconﬁgurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) to manage multiple communication links simultaneously. In a multi-user scenario, the RIS can be programmed to optimize the phase shifts for each user, thereby enhancing the signal quality and mitigating interference among users. To implement this, a multi-user detection strategy can be integrated with the optimal ASK modulation schemes. This would involve designing a noncoherent maximum likelihood (ML) receiver that can handle multiple users by estimating the combined effects of the RIS on the received signals from different users. The optimization framework for the ASK modulation can be adapted to account for the varying channel conditions experienced by each user, ensuring that the modulation schemes are tailored to minimize the symbol error probability (SEP) across all users. Moreover, the optimization process can incorporate user-specific constraints, such as power limitations and quality of service requirements, to ensure fair resource allocation among users. By employing advanced signal processing techniques, such as joint detection and interference cancellation, the performance of the multi-user RIS-assisted system can be significantly improved, leading to enhanced spectral efficiency and overall system performance.

Q: What are the potential challenges in implementing the optimal ASK modulation in practical RIS-empowered wireless networks?

Implementing optimal ASK modulation in practical RIS-empowered wireless networks presents several challenges. Firstly, the accurate estimation of channel state information (CSI) is crucial for the effective deployment of optimal modulation schemes. In RIS-assisted systems, obtaining reliable CSI can be difficult due to the passive nature of RIS elements and the dynamic environment, which may lead to rapid changes in channel conditions. Secondly, the complexity of the optimal modulation schemes may pose a challenge in real-time applications. The proposed optimization frameworks require significant computational resources, especially in multi-user scenarios where the number of users and the complexity of the channel increase. This could lead to delays in signal processing, which is critical for applications requiring low latency, such as augmented reality and tactile Internet. Additionally, the integration of RIS technology into existing wireless infrastructure may face practical hurdles, including the need for retrofitting current systems and ensuring compatibility with legacy devices. The deployment of RISs also involves considerations related to their physical placement, orientation, and the number of elements, which can affect the overall performance of the communication system. Lastly, ensuring energy efficiency while maintaining high performance is a critical challenge. The optimal ASK modulation schemes must be designed to minimize power consumption while maximizing data throughput, which is essential for sustainable operation in future 6G networks.

Q: What are the implications of the proposed optimal ASK modulation designs on the energy efficiency and hardware complexity of future 6G wireless systems?

The proposed optimal ASK modulation designs have significant implications for the energy efficiency and hardware complexity of future 6G wireless systems. By minimizing the symbol error probability (SEP) through optimized modulation schemes, these designs can lead to improved energy efficiency. This is particularly important in the context of 6G, where the demand for high data rates and low latency will require systems to operate efficiently under varying channel conditions. The optimization of ASK modulation schemes allows for better utilization of available transmit power, which can reduce the overall energy consumption of the system. This is crucial for supporting the anticipated increase in data traffic and the proliferation of connected devices in future wireless networks. Enhanced energy efficiency not only contributes to lower operational costs but also aligns with the sustainability goals of modern communication systems. On the hardware complexity front, while the proposed optimal modulation schemes may introduce additional computational requirements for signal processing, they can also lead to simplifications in hardware design. For instance, by employing noncoherent detection techniques, the need for complex channel estimation and compensation mechanisms can be reduced, leading to simpler and more cost-effective receiver designs. Furthermore, the integration of RIS technology with optimal ASK modulation can facilitate the development of compact and efficient hardware solutions, as RISs can be designed to operate with minimal power and space requirements. This can ultimately result in a more streamlined architecture for 6G systems, balancing performance with practical deployment considerations. In summary, the proposed optimal ASK modulation designs are poised to enhance energy efficiency and reduce hardware complexity, making them a vital component in the evolution of future 6G wireless networks.

핵심 개념

The paper proposes optimal one- and two-sided multi-level amplitude shift keying (ASK) modulation schemes for reconﬁgurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted noncoherent wireless communication systems, considering both blocked and unblocked direct channel scenarios. The optimal modulation schemes are designed to minimize the symbol error probability under average transmit power constraints.

초록

The paper analyzes the performance of RIS-assisted noncoherent single-input single-output (SISO) communication systems with one- and two-sided multi-level ASK modulation. Two propagation scenarios are considered: when the direct link between the transmitter and receiver is blocked, and when it is unblocked.

For the blocked direct channel case, the authors propose an optimal noncoherent maximum likelihood (ML) receiver structure and derive a closed-form upper-bound expression for the symbol error probability (SEP). For the unblocked direct channel case, a similar optimal noncoherent ML receiver is designed, and the corresponding SEP upper-bound is obtained.

The paper then presents a novel optimization framework to determine the optimal one- and two-sided ASK modulation schemes that minimize the SEP under average transmit power constraints for both the blocked and unblocked direct channel scenarios.

The numerical results demonstrate that the RIS-aided communication system achieves superior error performance with the proposed optimal one- and two-sided ASK modulation schemes compared to traditional ASK modulation. It is also shown that the two-sided ASK modulation outperforms the one-sided scheme. The error performance is further analyzed for different system parameters, providing a comprehensive investigation of RIS-assisted noncoherent wireless communication systems.
