Explainable AI for Next-Generation Wireless Physical Layer: Basics, State-of-the-Art, and Open Challenges
Bingnan Xiao, Shuyan Hu, Xiaojing Chen +5
Next-generation wireless systems are expected to be ``AI-native," with neural networks (NNs) embedded throughout the physical (PHY) layer protocol stack to improve spectral efficie…
Synchronization, Identification, and Signal Detection for Underwater Photon-Counting Communications With Input-Dependent Shot Noise
Fanghua Li, Xiaolin Zhou, Yongkang Chen +4
Photon counting (PhC) is an effective detection technology for underwater optical wireless communication (OWC) systems. The presence of signal-dependent Poisson shot noise and asyn…
Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access-Based Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution: Secret Key Rate Analysis and Power Allocation
Zhichao Dong, Xiaolin Zhou, Huang Peng +3
We address the multi-user quantum key distribution (QKD) problem under malicious quantum attacks, which is critical for realizing a large-scale quantum Internet. This paper maximiz…
Non-Orthogonal Multiple-Access for Coherent-State Optical Quantum Communications Under Lossy Photon Channels
Zhichao Dong, Xiaolin Zhou, Yongkang Chen +3
Coherent states have been increasingly considered in optical quantum communications (OQCs). With the inherent non-orthogonality of coherent states, non-orthogonal multiple-access (…
Towards Quantum-Native Communication Systems: State-of-the-Art, Trends, and Challenges
Xiaolin Zhou, Anqi Shen, Shuyan Hu +3
The potential synergy between quantum communications and future wireless communication systems is explored. By proposing a quantum-native or quantum-by-design philosophy, the surve…
