Channel Estimation for Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface Aided Multiuser Millimeter-Wave/THz Systems

It is assumed that reconfigurable intelligent surface(RIS)is a key technology to enable the potential of mmWave communications.The passivity of the RIS makes channel estimation difficult because the channel can only be measured at the transceiver and not at the RIS.In this paper,we propose a novel separate channel estimator via exploiting the cascaded sparsity in the continuously valued angular domain of the cascaded channel for the RIS-enabled millimeter-wave/Tera-Hz systems,i.e.,the two-stage estimation method where the cascaded channel is separated into the base station(BS)-RIS and the RIS-user(UE)ones.Specifically,we first reveal the cascaded sparsity,i.e.,the sparsity exists in the hybrid angular domains of BS-RIS and the RIS-UEs separated channels,to construct the specific sparsity structure for RIS enabled multi-user systems.Then,we formulate the channel estimation problem using atomic norm minimization(ANM)to enhance the proposed sparsity structure in the continuous angular domains,where a low-complexity channel estimator via Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers(ADMM)is proposed.Simulation findings demonstrate that the proposed channel estimator outperforms the current state-of-the-arts in terms of performance.

A Concept of Dynamically Reconfigurable Real-time Vision System for Autonomous Mobile Robotics

This paper describes specific constraints of vision systems that are dedicated to be embedded in mobile robots. If PC-based hardware architecture is convenient in this field because of its versatility, flexibility, performance, and cost, current real-time operating systems are not completely adapted to long processing with varying duration, and it is often necessary to oversize the system to guarantee fail-safe functioning. Also, interactions with other robotic tasks having more priority are difficult to handle. To answer this problem, we have developed a dynamically reconfigurable vision processing system, based on the innovative features of Cleopatre real-time applicative layer concerning scheduling and fault tolerance. This framework allows to define emergency and optional tasks to ensure a minimal quality of service for the other subsystems of the robot, while allowing to adapt dynamically vision processing chain to an exceptional overlasting vision process or processor overload. Thus, it allows a better cohabitation of several subsystems in a single hardware, and to develop less expensive but safe systems, as they will be designed for the regular case and not rare exceptional ones. Finally, it brings a new way to think and develop vision systems, with pairs of complementary operators.

Channel Estimation for Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface Assisted Wireless Communication Systems in Mobility Scenarios

Reconfigurable intelligent surface(RIS)can manipulate the wireless propagation environment by smartly adjusting the amplitude/phase in a programmable panel,enjoying the improved performance.The accurate acquisition of the instantaneous channel state information(CSI)in the cascaded RIS chain makes an indispensable contribution to the performance gains.However,it is quite challenging to estimate the CSI in a time-variant scenario due to the limited signal processing capability of the passive elements embedded in a RIS pannel.In this work,a channel estimation scheme for the RIS-assisted wireless communication system is proposed,which is demonstrated to perform well in a time-variant scenario.The cascaded RIS channel is modeled as a state-space model based upon the mobility situations.In addition,to fully exploit the time correlation of channel,Kalman filter is employed by taking the prior information of channels into account.Further,the optimal reflection coefficients are derived according to the minimum mean square error(MMSE)criterion.Numerical results show that the proposed methods exhibit superior performance if compared with a conventional channel estimation scheme.

Joint Beamforming Optimization for Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface-Enabled MISO-OFDM Systems

In this paper,we investigate the reconfigurable intelligent surface(RIS)-enabled multiple-input-single-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(MISO-OFDM)system under frequency-selective channels,and propose a low-complexity alternating optimization(AO)based joint beamforming and RIS phase shifts optimization algorithm to maximize the achievable rate.First,with fixed RIS phase shifts,we devise the optimal closedform transmit beamforming vectors corresponding to different subcarriers.Then,with given active beamforming vectors,near-optimal RIS reflection coefficients can be determined efficiently leveraging fractional programming(FP)combined with manifold optimization(MO)or majorization-minimization(MM)framework.Additionally,we also propose a heuristic RIS phase shifts design approach based on the sum of subcarrier gain maximization(SSGM)criterion requiring lower complexity.Numerical results indicate that the proposed MO/MM algorithm can achieve almost the same rate as the upper bound achieved by the semidefinite relaxation(SDR)algorithm,and the proposed SSGM based scheme is only slightly inferior to the upper bound while has much lower complexity.These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

Self-organization of Reconfigurable Protocol Stack for Networked Control Systems

In networked control systems （NCS）,the control performance depends on not only the control algorithm but also the communication protocol stack.The performance degradation introduced by the heterogeneous and dynamic communication environment has intensified the need for the reconfigurable protocol stack.In this paper,a novel architecture for the reconfigurable protocol stack is proposed,which is a unified specification of the protocol components and service interfaces supporting both static and dynamic reconfiguration for existing industrial communication standards.Within the architecture,a triple-level self-organization structure is designed to manage the dynamic reconfiguration procedure based on information exchanges inside and outside the protocol stack.Especially,the protocol stack can be self-adaptive to various environment and system requirements through the reconfiguration of working mode,routing and scheduling table.Finally,the study on the protocol of dynamic address management is conducted for the system of controller area network （CAN）.The results show the efficiency of our self-organizing architecture for the implementation of a reconfigurable protocol stack.

Configuration Selection for Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems by Means of Characteristic State Space

The configuration selection for reconfigurable manufacturing systems（RMS） have been tackled in a number of studies by using analytical or simulation models. The simulation models are usually based on fewer assumptions than the analytical models and therefore are more wildly used in modeling complex RMS. But in the absence of an efficient gradient analysis method of the objective function, it is time-consuming in solving large-scale problems by using a simulation model coupled with a meta-heuristics algorithm. In this paper, a new approach by means of characteristic state space is presented to improve the efficiency of the configuration selection for an RMS. First, a characteristic state equation is set up to represent the input and the output resources of each basic activity in an RMS. A production process model in terms of matrix equations is established by iterating the equations of basic activities according to the resource flows. This model introduces the production process into a characteristic state space for further analysis. Second, the properties of the characteristic state space are presented. On the basis of these properties, the configuration selection in an RMS is considered as a path-planning problem, and the gradient of the objective function is computed. Modified simulated annealing（SA） is also presented, in which neighborhood generation is guided by the gradient to accelerate convergence and reduce the run time of the optimization procedure. Finally, several case studies on the configuration selection for some actual reconfigurable assembly job-shops are presented and compared to the classical SA. The comparison shows relatively positive results. This study provides a more efficient configuration selection approach by using the gradient of the objective function and presents the relevant theories on which it is based.

The concept of unmanned weapon system-of-systems(UWSoS)involves a collection of various unmanned systems to achieve or accomplish a specific goal or mission.The mission reliability of UWSoS is represented by its ability to finish a required mission above the baselines of a given mission.However,issues with heterogeneity,cooperation between systems,and the emergence of UWSoS cannot be effectively solved by traditional system reliability methods.This study proposes an effective operation-loop-based mission reliability evaluation method for UWSoS by analyzing dynamic reconfiguration.First,we present a new connotation of an effective operation loop by considering the allocation of operational entities and physical resource constraints.Then,we propose an effective operationloop-based mission reliability model for a heterogeneous UWSoS according to the mission baseline.Moreover,a mission reliability evaluation algorithm is proposed under random external shocks and topology reconfiguration,revealing the evolution law of the effective operation loop and mission reliability.Finally,a typical 60-unmanned-aerial-vehicle-swarm is taken as an example to demonstrate the proposed models and methods.The mission reliability is achieved by considering external shocks,which can serve as a reference for evaluating and improving the effectiveness of UWSoS.
