Cooperative Multi-Satellite ISAC Networks: Centralized vs. Distributed Sensing

This paper investigates a downlink multi-satellite integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) network, in which multiple satellites simultaneously transmit ISAC signals to provide communication services to ground user equipments and enable cooperative sensing of airborne targets through multiple gateways. To support this dual functionality, we introduce communication and sensing beamforming designs based on uniform planar arrays with optimized power allocation. Building on these designs, we propose two cooperative sensing frameworks, namely centralized and distributed. In the centralized framework, each gateway forwards its sensing observations to a central unit (CU), where the positions of multiple targets are jointly estimated from the aggregated data. To mitigate the signaling overhead inherent in centralized processing, a distributed framework is further proposed, in which each gateway independently estimates target positions and transmits only the local estimates to the CU. To associate estimates from different gateways, a data association problem based on the squared Euclidean distance is formulated and efficiently solved using the Hungarian algorithm. The final target positions are then obtained by minimizing the distance error. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed centralized and distributed frameworks significantly outperform existing sensing schemes while satisfying communication performance requirements. Finally, we evaluate the sensing-communication trade-off from the viewpoints of sensing accuracy and communication power consumption under the proposed frameworks.

Online Data Generation for MIMO-OFDM Channel Denoising: Transfer Learning vs. Meta Learning

Channel denoising is a practical and effective technique for mitigating channel estimation errors in multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems. However, adapting denoising techniques to varying channel conditions typically requires prior knowledge or incurs significant training overhead. To address these challenges, we propose a standard-compatible strategy for generating online training data that enables online adaptive channel denoising. The key idea is to leverage high-quality channel estimates obtained via data-aided channel estimation as practical substitutes for unavailable ground-truth channels. Our data-aided method exploits adjacent detected data symbols within a specific time-frequency neighborhood as virtual reference signals, and we analytically derive the optimal size of this neighborhood to minimize the mean squared error of the resulting estimates. By leveraging the proposed strategy, we devise two channel denoising approaches, one based on transfer learning, which fine-tunes a pre-trained denoising neural network, and the other based on meta learning, which rapidly adapts to new channel environments with minimal updates. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed methods effectively adapt to dynamic channel conditions and significantly reduce channel estimation errors compared to conventional techniques.

Beam-Hopping Pattern Design for Grant-Free Random Access in LEO Satellite Communications

Increasing demand for massive device connectivity in underserved regions drives the development of advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communication systems. Beam-hopping LEO systems without connection establishment provide a promising solution for achieving both demand-aware resource allocation and low access latency. This paper investigates beam-hopping pattern design for the grant-free random access systems to dynamically allocate satellite resources according to traffic demands across serving cells. We formulate a binary optimization problem that aims to maximize the minimum successful transmission probability across cells, given limited satellite beam generation capacity. To solve this problem, we propose novel beam-hopping design algorithms that alternately enhance the collision avoidance rate and decoding success probability within an alternating optimization framework. Specifically, the algorithms employ a bisection method to optimize illumination allocation for each cell based on demand, while using the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) to optimize beam-hopping patterns for maximizing decoding success probability. Furthermore, we enhance the ADMM by replacing the strict binary constraint with two equivalent continuous-valued constraints. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithms compared to other beam-hopping methods and verify robustness in managing traffic demand imbalance.

MIMO Detection under Hardware Impairments: Learning with Noisy Labels

This paper considers a data detection problem in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems with hardware impairments. To address challenges posed by nonlinear and unknown distortion in received signals, two learning-based detection methods, referred to as model-driven and data-driven, are presented. The model-driven method employs a generalized Gaussian distortion model to approximate the conditional distribution of the distorted received signal. By using the outputs of coarse data detection as noisy training data, the model-driven method avoids the need for additional training overhead beyond traditional pilot overhead for channel estimation. An expectation-maximization algorithm is devised to accurately learn the parameters of the distortion model from noisy training data. To resolve a model mismatch problem in the model-driven method, the data-driven method employs a deep neural network (DNN) for approximating a-posteriori probabilities for each received signal. This method uses the outputs of the model-driven method as noisy labels and therefore does not require extra training overhead. To avoid the overfitting problem caused by noisy labels, a robust DNN training algorithm is devised, which involves a warm-up period, sample selection, and loss correction. Simulation results demonstrate that the two proposed methods outperform existing solutions with the same overhead under various hardware impairment scenarios.

Noise-adding Methods of Saliency Map as Series of Higher Order Partial Derivative

SmoothGrad and VarGrad are techniques that enhance the empirical quality of standard saliency maps by adding noise to input. However, there were few works that provide a rigorous theoretical interpretation of those methods. We analytically formalize the result of these noise-adding methods. As a result, we observe two interesting results from the existing noise-adding methods. First, SmoothGrad does not make the gradient of the score function smooth. Second, VarGrad is independent of the gradient of the score function. We believe that our findings provide a clue to reveal the relationship between local explanation methods of deep neural networks and higher-order partial derivatives of the score function.
