32 GBd, 109 Gbit/s probabilistically shaped THz wireless transmission using PIN-PD based photonic upconversion
We characterize the performance of high symbol rate probabilistic constellation shaping (PCS) in a THz wireless link utilizing a PIN photodiode-assisted transmitter. Using a 64-QAM base constellation we demonstrate high data rate adaptivity,...
Gradual Change Detection in Covariance Matrix: A Lazy Approach
The covariance matrix offers a balance between frequent channel estimations and maintaining acceptable system performance. In this work, we propose an intelligent autonomous mechanism that monitors changes in the covariance matrix, minimizing...
Sub-THz D-Band Integrated Analog Beamforming Front-End Prototyping and 6G Outdoor Trials
This paper reports the development outcomes of the world’s first integrated analog beamforming – transmit and receive – wireless front-ends operating in the D-band (a sub- THz band), particularly designed to operate within 150 GHz to 170 GHz...
Two-timescale weighted sum-rate maximization for large cellular and cell-free massive MIMO
Discover a groundbreaking two-timescale method for optimizing the weighted sum-rate in future multi-antenna wireless systems. Our innovative approach overcomes the severe scalability issues of traditional methods, namely the extreme computational...
User-Centric Monostatic Sensing Aided by Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces
We propose that deploying Reflecting Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) as auxiliary sensors can either enable (in cases of blockage) or assist UEs in improving sensing performance. This can be achieved by deploying larger surfaces, offering superior...
Load Balancing in O-RAN
Efficiently managing network load has long been a challenge in wireless networks, and open radio access networks (O-RAN) can offer a potential solution through open interfaces and optimization capabilities. This paper focuses on addressing the...
First Polymer-based Passive Optical Waveguide for the Visible Range from 633 nm down to 488 nm
We investigated the transmission properties of optical waveguide based on fluorinated acrylate polymer and Ormocer® based polymer in the visible range (VIS). Laser transmission-induced transparency (LTIT) and fluorescence were observed in the...
Explainable Concept Mappings of MRI: Revealing the Mechanisms Underlying Deep Learning-Based Brain Disease Classification
While recent studies show high accuracy in the classification of Alzheimer's disease using deep neural networks, the underlying learned concepts have not been investigated. We separated Alzheimer's patients (n=117) from normal controls (n=219) by...
Reactive Model Correction: Mitigating Harm to Task-Relevant Features via Conditional Bias Suppression
DNNs are prone to relying on spurious correlations in data, posing risks in critical applications. Post-hoc methods exist to mitigate this without retraining but can globally shift latent features distributions, harming model performance. We...
AttnLRP: Attention-Aware Layer-wise Relevance Propagation for Transformers
Our new method, AttnLRP, is the first to faithfully and holistically attribute not only input but also latent representations of transformer models with the computational efficiency similar to a single backward pass. We demonstrate that our...
