Wireless Information and Power Transfer Design for Energy Cooperation Distributed Antenna Systems

Distributed antenna systems (DAS) have been widely implemented in state-of-the-art cellular communication systems to cover dead spots. Recent studies have also indicated that DAS have advantages in wireless energy transfer (WET). In this paper, we study simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) for a multiple-input single-output (MISO) DAS in the downlink which consists of arbitrarily distributed remote antenna units (RAUs). In order to save the energy cost, we adopt energy cooperation of energy harvesting (EH) and two-way energy flows to let the RAUs trade their harvested energy through the smart grid network. Under individual EH constraints, per-RAU power constraints and various smart grid considerations, we investigate a power management strategy that determines how to utilize the stochastically spatially distributed harvested energy at the RAUs and how to trade the energy with the smart grid simultaneously to supply maximum wireless information transfer (WIT) with a minimum WET constraint for a receiver adopting power splitting (PS). Our analysis shows that the optimal design can be achieved in two steps. The first step is to maximize a new objective that can simultaneously maximize both WET and WIT, considering both the smart grid profitable and smart grid neutral cases. For the grid-profitable case, we derive the optimal full power strategy and provide a closed-form result to see under what condition this strategy is used. On the other hand, for the grid-neutral case, we illustrate that the optimal power policy has a double-threshold structure and present an optimal allocation strategy. The second step is then to solve the whole problem by obtaining the splitting power ratio based on the minimum WET constraint. Simulation results are provided to evaluate the performance under various settings and characterize the double-threshold structure.

Monolithic photonic integration of suspended light emitting diode, waveguide and photodetector

We report here a monolithic photonic integration of light emitting diode (LED) with waveguide and photodetector to build a highly-integrated photonic system to perform functionalities on the GaN-on-silicon platform. Suspended p-n junction InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) are used for device fabrication. Part of the LED emission is coupled into suspended waveguide and then, the guided light laterally propagates along the waveguide and is finally sensed by the photodetector. Planar optical communication experimentally demonstrates that the proof-of-concept monolithic photonic integration system can achieve the on-chip optical interconnects. This work paves the way towards novel active electro-optical sensing system and planar optical communication in the visible range.

Outage Balancing in Downlink Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access With Statistical Channel State Information

This paper considers a downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system where the source intends to transmit independent information to the users at targeted data rates under statistical channel state information at the transmitter. The problem of outage balancing among the users is studied with the issues of power allocation, decoding order selection, and user grouping being taken into account. Specifically, with regard to the max-min fairness criterion, we derive the optimal power allocation in closed-form and prove the corresponding optimal decoding order for the elementary downlink NOMA system. By assigning a weighting factor for each user, the analytical results can be used to evaluate the outage performance of the downlink NOMA system under various fairness constraints. Further, we investigate the case with user grouping, in which each user group can be treated as an elementary downlink NOMA system. The associated problems of power and resource allocation among different user groups are solved. The implementation complexity issue of NOMA is also considered with focus on that caused by successive interference cancellation and user grouping. The complexity and performance tradeoff is analyzed by simulations, which provides fruitful insights for the practical application of NOMA. The simulation results substantiate our analysis and show considerable performance gain of NOMA when compared with orthogonal multiple access.

Power Allocation Schemes for Multicell Massive MIMO Systems

This paper investigates the sum-rate gains brought by power allocation strategies in multicell massive multipleinput multiple-output systems, assuming time-division duplex transmission. For both uplink and downlink, we derive tractable expressions for the achievable rate with zero-forcing receivers and precoders respectively. To avoid high complexity joint optimization across the network, we propose a scheduling mechanism for power allocation, where in a single time slot, only cells that do not interfere with each other adjust their transmit powers. Based on this, corresponding transmit power allocation strategies are derived, aimed at maximizing the sum rate per-cell. These schemes are shown to bring considerable gains over equal power allocation for practical antenna configurations (e.g., up to a few hundred). However, with fixed number of users (N), these gains diminish as M turns to infinity, and equal power allocation becomes optimal. A different conclusion is drawn for the case where both M and N grow large together, in which case: (i) improved rates are achieved as M grows with fixed M/N ratio, and (ii) the relative gains over the equal power allocation diminish as M/N grows. Moreover, we also provide applicable values of M/N under an acceptable power allocation gain threshold, which can be used as to determine when the proposed power allocation schemes yield appreciable gains, and when they do not. From the network point of view, the proposed scheduling approach can achieve almost the same performance as the joint power allocation after one scheduling round, with much reduced complexity.

Study of the Beamstrahlung Effects at the CEPC

The discovery of a 125 GeV Higgs boson at the LHC marked a breakthrough in particle physics. The relative lightness of the new particle inspires the consideration of a high luminosity Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) as a Higgs Factory to study the Higgs boson in a clean environment. At the CEPC, the beamstrahlung might represent one of the most important sources of beam-induced backgrounds that will impact the detector. It will introduce additional backgrounds to the CEPC detector through the subsequent electron-positron pair production and the hadronic process. Therefore its impacts should be carefully evaluated. In this paper, the beamstrahlung-induced backgrounds are first estimated with analytical methods and are further evaluated in detail with Monte Carlo simulation. The detector occupancy due to the beamstrahlung at the location where the first vertex detector layer may be placed is found to be well below 0.5%. Radiation levels characterised as non-ionising energy loss (NIEL) and total ionising dose (TID) are estimated to be ~ $10^{11} 1 $ MeV $ n_{eq}/cm^2/$yr and ~ 300 kRad/yr, respectively.

Power Scaling of Uplink Massive MIMO Systems with Arbitrary-Rank Channel Means

This paper investigates the uplink achievable rates of massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna systems in Ricean fading channels, using maximal-ratio combining (MRC) and zero-forcing (ZF) receivers, assuming perfect and imperfect channel state information (CSI). In contrast to previous relevant works, the fast fading MIMO channel matrix is assumed to have an arbitrary-rank deterministic component as well as a Rayleigh-distributed random component. We derive tractable expressions for the achievable uplink rate in the large-antenna limit, along with approximating results that hold for any finite number of antennas. Based on these analytical results, we obtain the scaling law that the users' transmit power should satisfy, while maintaining a desirable quality of service. In particular, it is found that regardless of the Ricean $K$-factor, in the case of perfect CSI, the approximations converge to the same constant value as the exact results, as the number of base station antennas, $M$, grows large, while the transmit power of each user can be scaled down proportionally to $1/M$. If CSI is estimated with uncertainty, the same result holds true but only when the Ricean $K$-factor is non-zero. Otherwise, if the channel experiences Rayleigh fading, we can only cut the transmit power of each user proportionally to $1/\sqrt M$. In addition, we show that with an increasing Ricean $K$-factor, the uplink rates will converge to fixed values for both MRC and ZF receivers.
