Affine frequency division multiplexing (AFDM) has emerged as a promising waveform against doubly selective channels under high-mobility communication scenarios. Optimal chirp parameter selection and reduced-complexity receiver design in AFDM are essential for achieving satisfacto…
This paper proposes an affine frequency division multiplexing (AFDM)-aided faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) waveform, termed AFDM-FTN, to enhance spectral efficiency (SE) in high-mobility communication scenarios. We first derive the AFDM-FTN input-output relationship and analyze the FTN…
In this paper, we propose a self-superheterodyne Rydberg uniform array receiver for satellite uplink communications, in which the Doppler shift naturally induced by satellite motion is exploited to generate the intermediate-frequency signal. We first develop a near-field local os…
Next-generation space-air-ground-sea integrated networks (SAGSIN) impose unprecedented demands on advanced radio frequency (RF) receivers for full-spectrum agility, ultra-high sensitivity, and anti-jamming resilience, pushing conventional electronic receivers to their physical li…
This paper proposes an Affine frequency division multiplexing (AFDM)-empowered integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) design, referred to as AFDM-ISAC. We first design a novel AFDM-ISAC frame structure that consists of both ISAC and pure data symbols. Each ISAC symbol consi…
This paper presents a spatially coupled sparse code multiple access (SC-SCMA) framework to overcome the performance and scalability limitations of conventional SCMA systems. By analyzing the pairwise error probability associated to multi-user error patterns, we show that spatial…
