Abstract

In an ultra wideband (UWB) impulse radio (IR) system, a number of pulses, each transmitted in an interval called a "frame", is employed to represent one information symbol. Conventionally, a single type of UWB pulse is used in all frames of all users. In this paper, IR systems with multiple types of UWB pulses are considered, where different types of pulses can be used in different frames by different users. Both stored-reference (SR) and transmitted-reference (TR) systems are considered. First, the spectral properties of a multi-pulse IR system with polarity randomization is investigated. It is shown that the average power spectral density is the average of the spectral contents of different pulse shapes. Then, approximate closed-form expressions for the bit error probability of a multi-pulse SR-IR system are derived for RAKE receivers in asynchronous multiuser environments. The effects of both inter-frame interference (IFI) and multiple-access interference (MAI) are analyzed. The theoretical and simulation results indicate that SR-IR systems that are more robust against IFI and MAI than a "conventional" SR-IR system can be designed with multiple types of ultra-wideband pulses. Finally, extensions to multi-pulse TR-IR systems are briefly described.

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.
