We propose a cross-subcarrier precoder design(CSPD) for massive multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) downlink. This work aims to significantly improve the channel estimation and signal detection performance by enhancing the smoothness of the frequency domain effective channel. This is accomplished by designing a few vectors known as the transform domain precoding vectors(TDPVs), which are then transformed into the frequency domain to generate the precoders for a set of subcarriers. To combat the effect of channel aging, the TDPVs are optimized under imperfect channel state information(CSI). The optimal precoder structure is derived by maximizing an upper bound of the ergodic weighted sum-rate(WSR) and utilizing the a posteriori beam-based statistical channel model(BSCM). To avoid the large-dimensional matrix inversion, we propose an algorithm with symplectic optimization. Simulation results indicate that the proposed cross-subcarrier precoder design significantly outperforms conventional methods.

The escalating installation of distributed generation (DG) within active distribution networks (ADNs) diminishes the reliance on fossil fuels, yet it intensifies the disparity between demand and generation across various regions. Moreover, due to the intermittent and stochastic characteristics, DG also introduces uncertain forecasting errors, which further increase difficulties for power dispatch. To overcome these challenges, an emerging flexible interconnection device, soft open point (SOP), is introduced. A distributionally robust chance-constrained optimization (DRCCO) model is also proposed to effectively exploit the benefits of SOPs in ADNs under uncertainties. Compared with conventional robust, stochastic and chance-constrained models, the DRCCO model can better balance reliability and economic profits without the exact distribution of uncertainties. More-over, unlike most published works that employ two individual chance constraints to approximate the upper and lower bound constraints (e.g, bus voltage and branch current limitations), joint two-sided chance constraints are introduced and exactly reformulated into conic forms to avoid redundant conservativeness. Based on numerical experiments, we validate that SOPs' employment can significantly enhance the energy efficiency of ADNs by alleviating DG curtailment and load shedding problems. Simulation results also confirm that the proposed joint two-sided DRCCO method can achieve good balance between economic efficiency and reliability while reducing the conservativeness of conventional DRCCO methods.

Rate-splitting multiple access(RSMA) has recently gained attention as a potential robust multiple access(MA)scheme for upcoming wireless networks. Given its ability to efficiently utilize wireless resources and design interference management strategies, it can be applied to unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) networks to provide convenient services for large-scale access ground users. However, due to the line-of-sight(LoS) broadcast nature of UAV transmission, information is susceptible to eavesdropping in RSMA-based UAV networks. Moreover, the superposition of signals at the receiver in such networks becomes complicated. To cope with the challenge, we propose a two-user multi-input single-output(MISO) RSMA-based UAV secure transmission framework in downlink communication networks. In a passive eavesdropping scenario, our goal is to maximize the sum secrecy rate by optimizing the transmit beamforming and deployment location of the UAV-base station(UAV-BS),while considering quality-of-service(QoS) constraints, maximum transmit power, and flight space limitations. To address the non-convexity of the proposed problem, the optimization problem is first decoupled into two subproblems. Then, the successive convex approximation(SCA) method is employed to solve each subproblem using different propositions. In addition, an alternating optimization(AO)-based location RSMA(L-RSMA) beamforming algorithm is developed to implement joint optimization to obtain the suboptimal solution. Numerical results demonstrate that(1) the proposed L-RSMA scheme yields a28.97% higher sum secrecy rate than the baseline L-space division multiple access(SDMA) scheme;(2) the proposed L-RSMA scheme improves the security performance by 42.61% compared to the L-non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA) scheme.
