Abstract

In this paper, the performance of a binary phase shift keyed random time-hopping impulse radio system with pulse-based polarity randomization is analyzed. Transmission over frequency-selective channels is considered and the effects of inter-frame interference and multiple access interference on the performance of a generic Rake receiver are investigated for both synchronous and asynchronous systems. Closed form (approximate) expressions for the probability of error that are valid for various Rake combining schemes are derived. The asynchronous system is modelled as a chip-synchronous system with uniformly distributed timing jitter for the transmitted pulses of interfering users. This model allows the analytical technique developed for the synchronous case to be extended to the asynchronous case. An approximate closed-form expression for the probability of bit error, expressed in terms of the autocorrelation function of the transmitted pulse, is derived for the asynchronous case. Then, transmission over an additive white Gaussian noise channel is studied as a special case, and the effects of multiple-access interference is investigated for both synchronous and asynchronous systems. The analysis shows that the chip-synchronous assumption can result in over-estimating the error probability, and the degree of over-estimation mainly depends on the autocorrelation function of the ultra-wideband pulse and the signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio of the system. Simulations studies support the approximate analysis.

Graphical Analysis of Lifted Product Code Constructions

Lifted product codes are an important family of quantum low-density parity-check (QLDPC) codes, as they were the first QLDPC code family shown to be asymptotically good. Understanding the structure of their parity-check matrices $H_{\mathsf{X}}$ and $H_{\mathsf{Z}}$, as well as the associated Tanner graphs, is essential for analyzing their decoding behavior and error-floor performance. In this work, we show that the Tanner graphs of $H_{\mathsf{X}}$ and $H_{\mathsf{Z}}$ are indeed isomorphic, and investigate their graph-theoretical structure. We establish conditions ensuring the connectivity of these graphs and provide bounds on their minimal absorbing sets, providing new insight into the combinatorial structures influencing decoding performance.

Sensing-Based Communication: A Non-Orthogonal Passive Reflection Framework for ISAC

While integrating uplink without disrupting the primary downlink remains a critical challenge for existing reflective communication systems, this paper proposes a non-orthogonal passive integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) mechanism termed Sensing-based Communication. Originating from and validated within an optical retro-reflective system, this mechanism possesses an underlying wave-agnostic architecture with the potential to be generalized across other physical modalities. It leverages incident downlink signals for parasitic modulation via passive tags. By relying solely on fundamental on-off keying (OOK) reflection, the tag unifies the reflective sensing channel and the uplink communication channel, and simultaneously achieves both sensing and duplex communication. Consequently, our approach introduces uplink capability without sacrificing the downlink data rate or consuming additional spectrum resources. At the receiver, we design a joint decoding architecture combining cross-correlation computation and successive interference cancelation (SIC) to fully exploit the degrees of freedom in broadband signals for multi-user interference suppression. We derive closed-form expressions for the interference and bit error rate (BER) assuming zero-mean Gaussian signals. Using an experimental testbed, we validate the pivotal theoretical finding, the scaling relationship of SINR with signal bandwidth and cross-correlation time--where linear regression yields a strong goodness-of-fit with $R^2 = 0.9688$. Furthermore, evaluations under noise-like orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) waveforms exhibit high consistency between theoretical derivations and simulation data ($R^2 = 0.9372$, mean absolute percentage error, $\text{MAPE} = 14\%$), confirming the model's accuracy and waveform generalizability.

The Schur products of some nonbinary narrow-sense antiprimitive BCH codes

In recent years, the Schur products of linear codes have been extensively studied due to their favorable applications in cryptography. In this paper, we aim to study the parameters of the Schur products of some nonbinary narrow-sense antiprimitive BCH codes. Let $\mathcal{C}_1$ and $\mathcal{C}_2$ be two narrow-sense antiprimitive BCH codes with designed distances $δ_{1}$ and $δ_{2}$, respectively, where $2\le δ_{1},δ_{2}\le n$. Let $\mathcal{C}_1\star\mathcal{C}_2$ be the Schur product of $\mathcal{C}_1$ and $\mathcal{C}_2$. We present some necessary and sufficient conditions for $\mathcal{C}_1\star\mathcal{C}_2\ne\mathbb{F}_q^n$ by applying some constraints to $δ_{1}$ and $δ_{2}$. Furthermore, we determine the dimensions of these products and lower bounds on their minimum distance. Several linear codes with best known parameters are found.
