Max-Min Fair RIS-Aided Rate-Splitting Multiple Access for Multigroup Multicast Communications

Rate-splitting multiple access(RSMA)can cope with a wide range of propagation conditions in multigroup multicast communications through rate splitting optimization.To breakthrough the grouprate limited bottleneck,reconfigurable intelligent surface(RIS)technique can be introduced to assist wireless communications through enhancing the channel quality.In RIS-aided RSMA multigroup multicasting,how to provide fair and high-quality multiuser service under power and spectrum constraints is essential.In this paper,we propose a max-min fair RIS-aided rate-splitting multiple access(MMF-RISRSMA)scheme for multigroup multicast communications,where the rate fairness is obtained by maximizing the minimum group-rate.In doing so,we jointly optimize the beamformers,the rate splitting vector at the transmitter,as well as the phase shifts at RIS.To solve it,we divide the original optimization problem into two subproblems and alternately optimize the variables.The beamforming and rate splitting optimization subproblem is solved by using the successive convex approximation technique.The phase shift optimization subproblem is solved through the penalty function method to achieve a rank-one locally optimal solution.Simulations demonstrate that the proposed MMF-RIS-RSMA scheme can obtain significant performance gain in terms of the minimum group-rate.

Quantum multicast communication over the butterfly network

We propose a scheme where one can exploit auxiliary resources to achieve quantum multicast communication with network coding over the butterfly network.In this paper,we propose the quantum 2-pair multicast communication scheme,and extend it to k-pair multicast communication over the extended butterfly network.Firstly,an EPR pair is shared between each adjacent node on the butterfly network,and make use of local operation and classical communication to generate entangled relationship between non-adjacent nodes.Secondly,each sender adds auxiliary particles according to the multicast number k,in which the CNOT operations are applied to form the multi-particle entangled state.Finally,combined with network coding and free classical communication,quantum multicast communication based on quantum measurements is completed over the extended butterfly network.Not only the bottleneck problem is solved,but also quantum multicast communication can be completed in our scheme.At the same time,regardless of multicast number k,the maximum capacity of classical channel is 2 bits,and quantum channel is used only once.

Clustering and Resource Allocation Strategy for D2D Multicast Networks with Machine Learning Approaches

In this paper,the clustering and resource allocation problem in device-to-device(D2D)multicast transmission underlay cellular networks are investigated.For the sake of classifying D2D users into different D2D multicast clusters,a hybrid intelligent clustering strategy(HICS)based on unsupervised machine learning is proposed first.By maximizing the total energy efficiency of D2D multicast clusters,a joint resource allocation scheme is then presented.More specifically,the energy efficiency optimization problem is constructed under the quality of service(QoS)constraints.Since the joint optimization problem is non-convex,we transform the original problem into a mixed-integer programming problem according to the Dinkelbach algorithm.Furthermore,to avoid the high computational complexity inherent in the traditional resource allocation problem,a Q-Learning based joint resource allocation and power control algorithm is proposed.Numerical results reveal that the proposed algorithm achieves better energy efficiency in terms of throughput per energy consumption.

Quantum multicast schemes of different quantum states via non-maximally entangled channels with multiparty involvement

Due to the unavoidable interaction between the quantum channel and its ambient environment,it is difficult to generate and maintain the maximally entanglement.Thus,the research on multiparty information transmission via non-maximally entangled channels is of academic value and general application.Here,we utilize the non-maximally entangled channels to implement two multiparty remote state preparation schemes for transmitting different quantum information from one sender to two receivers synchronously.The first scheme is adopted to transmit two different four-qubit cluster-type entangled states to two receivers with a certain probability.In order to improve success probabilities of such multicast remote state preparation using non-maximally entangled channels,we put forward the second scheme,which deals with the situation that is a synchronous transfer of an arbitrary single-qubit state and an arbitrary two-qubit state from one sender to two receivers.In particular,its success probability can reach 100%in principle,and independent of the entanglement degree of the shared non-maximally entangled channel.Notably,in the second scheme,the auxiliary particle is not required.

Generalized interface automata with multicast synchronization

Interface automata are one of the prominent formalisms for specifying interface behaviors of componentbased systems. However, only one-to-one communication is allowed in the composition of interface automata. This paper presents multicast interface automata which generalize the classic interface automata and accommodate multicast communication mechanism. The multicast interface automata endorse both bottom-up and top-down design methodologies. Theoretical results on compatibility and refinement are established for incremental design and independent implementability.

Multi-output quantum teleportation of different quantum information with an IBM quantum experience

:Multicast-based quantum teleportation(QT) is extensively used in quantum information transmission where a sender sends different information to multiple receivers at the large distance through the quantum entangled channel. In this paper, we introduce the multi-output QT scheme, which deals with the situation that the synchronous transfer of the arbitrary m-and(m+1)-qubit GHZ-class states from one sender to two receivers. Notably, the requirement about synchronous diverse information transmission is satisfied in our scheme with high efficiency. Moreover, we demonstrate the implementation of the special case of above quantum multi-output teleportation scheme on a sixteenqubit quantum computer and a 32-qubit simulator provided by IBM quantum platform, then discuss it in four types of noisy environments, and calculate the fidelities of the output states.
