Short range channels commonly arise in millimeter wave (mmWave) wearable settings, where the length of the antenna arrays can be comparable to the distance between the radios. Conventional mmWave MIMO channel estimation techniques based on the far field assumption may perform poorly in short range settings due to the large angular spread and, hence, high available rank. We propose a geometry-aided message passing algorithm that exploits structure in short range line-of-sight (LoS) channels for spatial sub-Nyquist channel estimation. Our approach parametrizes the channel using angle-of-arrivals (AoAs) that are locally defined for subarrays of an antenna array. Furthermore, it leverages the dependencies between the local AoAs using factors based on the array geometry. We show that the LoS MIMO channel can be reconstructed using the derived local AoA estimates and the known transceiver geometry. The proposed approach achieves a reasonable rate with greatly reduced pilot transmissions when compared to exhaustive beam search-based local AoA estimation.

Accurate automatic segmentation of the retinal vessels is crucial for early detection and diagnosis of vision-threatening retinal diseases. This paper presents a lightweight convolutional neural network termed as Shallow Vessel Segmentation Network (SVSN) for vessel segmentation. To achieve semantic segmentation encoder-decoder structures embedded with spatial pyramid pooling modules are used. After checking the input features with pooling through multiple fields of view and rates, it becomes easy for the erstwhile networks to encode multi-scale contextual information. While boundaries for sharper objects are captured by the prevalent networks. Moreover, the need for pre- and post-processing steps are eradicated. Consequently, the detection accuracy is significantly improved with scores of 0.9625 and 0.9645 on DRIVE and STARE datasets respectively.
As a means to support the access of massive machine-type communication devices, grant-free access and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) have received great deal of attention in recent years. In the grant-free tran...

A novel pinching-antenna systems (PASS)-enabled secure wireless communication framework is proposed. By dynamically adjusting the positions of dielectric particles, namely pinching antennas (PAs), along the waveguides, PASS introduces a novel concept of pinching beamforming to enhance the performance of physical layer security. A fundamental PASS-enabled secure communication system is considered with one legitimate user and one eavesdropper. Both single-waveguide and multiple-waveguide scenarios are studied. 1) For the single-waveguide scenario, the secrecy rate (SR) maximization is formulated to optimize the pinching beamforming. A PA-wise successive tuning (PAST) algorithm is proposed, which ensures constructive signal superposition at the legitimate user while inducing a destructive legitimate signal at the eavesdropper. 2) For the multiple-waveguide scenario, artificial noise (AN) is employed to further improve secrecy performance. A pair of practical transmission architectures are developed: waveguide division (WD) and waveguide multiplexing (WM). The key difference lies in whether each waveguide carries a single type of signal or a mixture of signals with baseband beamforming. For the SR maximization problem under the WD case, a two-stage algorithm is developed, where the pinching beamforming is designed with the PAST algorithm and the baseband power allocation among AN and legitimate signals is solved using successive convex approximation (SCA). For the WM case, an alternating optimization algorithm is developed, where the baseband beamforming is optimized with SCA and the pinching beamforming is designed employing particle swarm optimization. Numerical results demonstrate that i) PASS can significantly improve the secrecy performance over conventional antenna systems in both scenarios;ii) the proposed PAST algorithm for the single-waveguide scenario is efficient, especially when the number of PAs is even or large;iii) WM provides higher and more stable perfo

In this work we investigate the capacity of multilayer relaying networks operating over multipath fading channels under a non-coherent wideband regime and physically degraded broadcast stages. First, based on hyper-graph models and network equivalence techniques, we derive an upper bound on the network capacity. Then, by considering a peaky, frequency-shift keying signaling scheme, we establish a set of point-to-point achievable rates for each communication link in the network. Finally, by capitalizing on this set of rates we devise an achievable transmission scheme for the entire network via network coding. Remarkably, it turns out that this achievable rate for the network coincides with its upper bound capacity. In other words, these results give ultimately the capacity of the investigated network.
