Power-Efficient Full-Duplex Satellite Communications Aided by Movable Antennas

This letter investigates a movable antenna (MA)-aided full-duplex (FD) satellite communication system, where the satellite, equipped with both transmit and receive MAs, serves multiple uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) user terminals (UTs) in FD mode. Specifically, we formulate a multiobjective optimization problem to minimize the UL and DL transmit powers under imperfect channel state information (CSI) conditions. To jointly optimize the MA positions and transmit powers, we propose a two-loop particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm based on a multiobjective optimization framework. Simulation results demonstrate that flexible adjustments of MA positions can effectively reduce the total UL and DL transmit powers, while also alleviating the burden on self-interference (SI) cancellation modules.

Prototype of Secure Wire-Line Telephone

This paper proposes a secure wire-line telephone prototype that leverages physical layer security (PLS) techniques to protect communications from wiretapping. The system generates artificial noise (AN) in both directions over a telephone line and utilizes a telephone hybrid circuit to achieve effective AN cancellation. We conduct a thorough analysis of the secrecy capacity and evaluate the system's performance through both simulations and practical experiments. The results demonstrate that the proposed scheme significantly enhances communication security while preserving the integrity of legitimate signals, making it a robust and viable solution for secure telephone systems.

Secure Full-Duplex Communication via Movable Antennas

This paper investigates physical layer security (PLS) for a movable antenna (MA)-assisted full-duplex (FD) system. In this system, an FD base station (BS) with multiple MAs for transmission and reception provides services for an uplink (UL) user and a downlink (DL) user. Each user operates in half-duplex (HD) mode and is equipped with a single fixed-position antenna (FPA), in the presence of a single-FPA eavesdropper (Eve). To ensure secure communication, artificial noise (AN) is transmitted to obstruct the interception of Eve. The objective of this paper is to maximize the sum secrecy rate (SSR) of the UL and DL users by jointly optimizing the beamformers of the BS and the positions of MAs. This paper also proposes an alternating optimization (AO) method to address the non-convex problem, which decomposes the optimization problem into three subproblems and solves them iteratively. Simulation results demonstrate a significant performance gain in the SSR achieved by the proposed scheme compared to the benchmark schemes.

Movable Antenna-Enabled Co-Frequency Co-Time Full-Duplex Wireless Communication

Movable antenna (MA) provides an innovative way to arrange antennas that can contribute to improved signal quality and more effective interference management. This method is especially beneficial for co-frequency co-time full-duplex (CCFD) wireless communication, which struggles with self-interference (SI) that usually overpowers the desired incoming signals. By dynamically repositioning transmit/receive antennas, we can mitigate the SI and enhance the reception of incoming signals. Thus, this paper proposes a novel MA-enabled point-to-point CCFD system and formulates the minimum achievable rate of two CCFD terminals. To maximize the minimum achievable rate and determine the near-optimal positions of the MAs, we introduce a solution based on projected particle swarm optimization (PPSO), which can circumvent common suboptimal positioning issues. Moreover, numerical results reveal that the PPSO method leads to a better performance compared to the conventional alternating position optimization (APO). The results also demonstrate that an MA-enabled CCFD system outperforms the one using fixed-position antennas (FPAs).

High-Precision Channel Estimation for Sub-Noise Self-Interference Cancellation

Self-interference cancellation plays a crucial role in achieving reliable full-duplex communications. In general, it is essential to cancel the self-interference signal below the thermal noise level, which necessitates accurate reconstruction of the self-interference signal. In this paper, we propose a high-precision channel estimation method specifically designed for sub-noise self-interference cancellation. Exploiting the fact that all transmitted symbols are known to their respective receivers, our method utilizes all transmitted symbols for self-interference channel estimation. Through analytical derivations and numerical simulations, we validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results demonstrate the superior performance of our approach in achieving sub-noise self-interference cancellation.

Auxiliary Factor Method to Remove ISI of Nyquist Filters

As has been known, the Nyquist first condition promises the zero-intersymbol (ISI) performance as derived in the frequency domain. However, the practical implementation using the FIR filter truncates the Fourier transformation by its window and, thus, prevents the mathematical calculation from reaching the ideal solution at zero-ISI. For obtaining better results, an increase in the window's length is required in general. To address this problem, a new approach is created by using auxiliary factors (AFs) to compensate shortcoming of the truncated Fourier transformation and nullify completely the ISI, regardless of the window's length. In addition, the performance in the presence of the timing jitter is also improved significantly. The closed-form solution of the AFs is derived and the effectiveness is confirmed by the simulation results. Finally, the problems of the transmission delay and additional calculation complexity are analysed.
