Joint Active and Passive Beamforming Design for Hybrid RIS-Aided Integrated Sensing and Communication

Integrated sensing and communication(ISAC) is considered an effective technique to solve spectrum congestion in the future. In this paper, we consider a hybrid reconfigurable intelligent surface(RIS)-assisted downlink ISAC system that simultaneously serves multiple single-antenna communication users and senses multiple targets. Hybrid RIS differs from fully passive RIS in that it is composed of both active and passive elements, with the active elements having the effect of amplifying the signal in addition to phase-shifting. We maximize the achievable sum rate of communication users by collaboratively improving the beamforming matrix at the dual function base station(DFBS) and the phase-shifting matrix of the hybrid RIS, subject to the transmit power constraint at the DFBS, the signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio(SINR) constraint of the radar echo signal and the RIS constraint are satisfied at the same time. The builtin RIS-assisted ISAC design problem model is significantly non-convex due to the fractional objective function of this optimization problem and the coupling of the optimization variables in the objective function and constraints. As a result, we provide an effective alternating optimization approach based on fractional programming(FP) with block coordinate descent(BCD)to solve the optimization variables. Results from simulations show that the hybrid RIS-assisted ISAC system outperforms the other benchmark solutions.

Progress of International Meridian Circle Program

In 2024,the Chinese Meridian Project(CMP)completed its construction,deploying 282 instruments across 31 stations.This achievement not only provides a robust foundation but also serves as a reference template for the International Meridian Circle Program(IMCP).The IMCP aims to integrate and establish a comprehensive network of ground-based monitoring stations designed to track the propagation of space weather events from the Sun to Earth.Additionally,it monitors various disturbances generated within the Earth system that impact geospace.Over the past two years,significant progress has been made on the IMCP.In particular,the second phase of construction for the China-Brazil Joint Laboratory for Space Weather has been completed,and the North Pole and Southeast Asia networks are under active construction.The 2024 IMCP joint observation campaign was successfully conducted.To facilitate these developments,the scientific program committee of IMCP was established,following the success of 2023 IMCP workshop and the space weather school,which was co-hosted with the Asia-Pacific Space Cooperation Organization(APSCO)and sponsored by Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS)and Scientific Committee on Solar-Terrestrial Physics(SCOSTEP).Preparations are now underway for the 2024 workshop in collaboration with the National Institute for Space Research(INPE)in Brazil.

Joint Beamforming Design for Dual-Functional Radar-Communication Systems Under Beampattern Gain Constraints

The joint beamforming design challenge for dual-functional radar-communication systems is addressed in this paper.The base station in these systems is tasked with simultaneously sending shared signals for both multi-user communication and target sensing.The primary objective is to maximize the sum rate of multi-user communication,while also ensuring sufficient beampattern gain at particular angles that are of interest for sensing,all within the constraints of the transmit power budget.To tackle this complex non-convex problem,an effective algorithm that iteratively optimizes the joint beamformers is developed.This algorithm leverages the techniques of fractional programming and semidefinite relaxation to achieve its goals.The numerical results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Statistical Method for Block in Replication Design and Its SAS Program

Large-scale genetic population used for genetic breeding researches covers a large area in the field experiment,and the effect of local control would be gradually weakened.The block in replication(BIR)design is suitable for large population,which is applied to the field experiment of genetic population.The statistical methods of analysis of variance(ANOVA)and heritability estimation in single and multiple environments were derived and implemented using the statistical analysis system(SAS)program for the analysis of BIR.As a work example,a comparison of statistical analysis between BIR design and the completely random block(CRB)design were conducted for the protein content from a panel containing 455 soybean germplasms.The results indicated the different estimates of average heritability in multiple environments.The research results provided technical support for the application of BIR design in genetics and breeding studies.

Transcontinental Translational Medicine Collaboration: A Successful SinoCuban Joint B-to-B Program

Translational medicine is a comprehensive discipline that aims to convert laboratory research results into products and technology for clinical application using modern molecular biological techniques, to improve our understanding of the human body and disease and to optimize laboratory design for clinical observation and analysis for basic research. Its ultimate goal is improving holistic medicine and helping patients solve their health problems. Translational medicine includes two processes： bench to bedside and bedside to bench, known as B-to-B processes. The first B-to-B （bench to bedside） refers to the application of results of the laboratory to clinical use as a medical product or a diagnosis and treatment technology. The second B-to-B （bedside to bench） describes the process by which clinical observation and analysis provides ideas and guidance for experiment design for basic medical research. The two processes complement each other and constitute the two-way cycle of translational medicine. Translational medicine can be applied to clinical disease detection in the form of new biomarkers and can accelerate drug discovery. In recent years, with the biotechnology, increasing rapid development of outcomes of research on molecular pathogenesis can be directly applied to clinical theraDv.
