Magnetic Induction (MI) communication can be applied in some through-the-earth scenarios such as mines and underground rivers. To increase the transmission rate of MI communications, we propose a cooperative MI (CMI) scheme with an amplify-and-forward (AF) relay. Different from existing studies, we mainly focus on the relay with arbitrary antenna position and orientation (antenna deployment, AD). We derive the closed-form expression of CMI achievable data rate gain (CMG) for the relay and the closed-form expression of CMI channel bandwidth. Simulations reveal that a relay with appropriate AD could yield a significant increase in the achievable rate for MI systems.
Characterizing communication performance under the physical constraints imposed by radio frequency front-end circuits is essential for bridging communication-theoretic analysis and practical circuit design. In this work, we investigate the achievable-rate upper bound of a multipl…
Satellite communication (SatCom), as an effective complement to terrestrial networks, has attracted considerable attention from both academia and industry owing to its wide coverage and high flexibility. However, the inherent openness of satellite links renders them highly vulner…
Pinching antenna systems (PASS) employing dielectric waveguides have recently emerged as a promising flexible antenna architecture for high-frequency wireless communications. While prior work has focused primarily on millimeter-wave regimes, extending PASS to the terahertz (THz)…
Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is a new paradigm for efficiently combining sensing and communication functionalities by leveraging shared hardware and radio resources. Despite its promise, ISAC yields conflicting beamforming goals and competition over the same resour…
Pinching-antenna systems (PASS) offer considerable potential for wireless communications due to their unique ability to dynamically reconfigure radiation positions along a waveguide. However, the performance of PASS remains a critical challenge in the presence of random line-of-s…
The pinching-antenna system (PASS) uses dielectric particles along a low-loss waveguide as reconfigurable passive radiators. Existing analyses conclude that the in-waveguide attenuation is negligible at low frequencies and millimeter wave bands; we show this fails at terahertz (T…
