Abstract
We propose a low-complexity, energy-efficient solution for cell-free unsourced random access (URA), in which multiple distributed access points are connected to a central processing unit via a fronthaul. Assuming that each user transmits a pilot sequence followed by a polar codeword whose symbols are placed to the data part of the frame according to an on-off pattern, we utilize iterative decoding, including orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP)-based pilot detection and channel estimation, symbol estimation using a linear minimum mean square error (MMSE) solution, symbol combining, single-user decoding, and successive interference cancellation (SIC). We also present finite blocklength (FBL) performance and detailed complexity analyses. Numerical results demonstrate that the FBL analysis properly characterizes system performance and that the proposed cell-free URA scheme offers superior performance compared to existing low-complexity schemes. Namely, it offers a superior performance of up to 4.5 dB and can accommodate up to 1800 active users.
This paper investigates the design of the on-off division multiple access (ODMA) transmission scheme for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) massive unsourced random access (URA) systems with soft-output (SO) polar codes. First, a three-segment pilot-uncoupled coding scheme is introduced under the ODMA framework, whi...

Numerical results show that the proposed impairment-aware STAR-RIS-NOMA design achieves higher sum rates and lower bit error rates than the considered hardware-impairment-unaware benchmarks.
Future beyond-5G (B5G) and 6G wireless networks are expected to support ultra-reliable and low-latency communications in high-mobility scenarios while meeting massive connectivity requirements. Orthogonal time-frequency space (OTFS) modulation has emerged as a promising technique to combat severe Doppler effects, where...

Unsourced random access (URA) lets many users share one codebook, with the receiver returning an unordered message list under a per-user probability of error (PUPE) criterion. It has been developed primarily for Gaussian and fading channels. This letter formulates URA for the photon-limited optical regime: a Poisson in...
This work investigates unsourced random access (URA) over quasi-static fading channels, which is well suited for massive connectivity. In most existing URA schemes for fading channels, message recovery typically requires channel estimation, and these schemes therefore rely on pilot-assisted designs, resulting in limite...

Joint communication and radar sensing, also known as integrated sensing and communication (ISAC), is evolving current networks into multifunctional systems with significant potential. This work investigates the ISAC multiple access problem in the finite blocklength (FBL) regime, which has been largely overlooked in exi...
