Scale-Free Beamforming using Swarm Arrays for Remote Sensing under Interference

Bradley Hamilton, Raghu Mudumbai, Soura Dasgupta, Benjamin Peiffer

We consider a swarm array of autonomous relays that seek to cooperatively forward a desired signal to a fusion center with the maximum possible fidelity while canceling out a number of interferers. We present a distributed algorithm for computing the optimal zero-forcing beamforming weights at the relays without requiring prior channel knowledge. Crucially, our algorithm is {\it scale-free} in the sense that the computational and bandwidth overheads are completely independent of the size of the array. We build on recent work that introduced the concept of a Collective Array that enables such {\it scale-free} computation by imposing a constraint that the array must always function as a {\it swarm} i.e. array elements can only ever communicate with external nodes collectively and never individually. While this is a very severe restriction, we show that it allows useful computations such as zero-forcing beamforming while being robust to noise and channel time-variations.

Mixed-Timescale Differential Coding for Downlink Model Broadcast in Wireless Federated Learning

Chung-Hsuan Hu, Zheng Chen, Erik G. Larsson

In standard federated learning systems, the parameter server broadcasts the global model to the participating devices in every iteration. Motivated by the temporal correlation between consecutive global models, differential coding can be applied to global model dissemination to r…

Fundamental Limits of Random Downlink Integrated Sensing and Communication over Rician Channels

Marziyeh Soltani, Mahtab Mirmohseni, Rahim Tafazolli, Mark F. Flanagan

This paper studies the stochastic performance of a downlink multiple-input multiple-output integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system over Rician fading channels. Rician fading is important in line-of-sight (LoS)-dominated deployments, where a deterministic propagation co…

Binary Signal Recovery in Undersampling: Iterative SDP with Majority Voting and Successive Interference Cancellation

Ece Abay, Burhan Gulbahar, Fatih Alagoz

Binary compressive sensing (BCS) seeks to recover a $k$-sparse binary vector of length $n$ from $m$ linear measurements. Classical CS guarantees break down for $m < k$ and convex/greedy BCS algorithms with random Gaussian sensing matrices perform poorly. We introduce ISDP-MVSIC,…

Modular-CAPA-Based Communication Systems: Joint Activation and Beamforming Design

Mengyu Qian, Xidong Mu, Li You, Michail Matthaiou

A modular continuous aperture array (CAPA)-based multi-user communication system is investigated, where only a portion of the aperture, namely sub-CAPAs, is activated to serve users. The signal model for the proposed modular CAPA is first introduced. Based on this model, a spectr…
