BEAMFORMING, MULTIPLEXING, DIVERSITY

 Beamforming, multiplexing, and diversity are techniques used in communication systems, but they serve different purposes and operate in distinct ways. Here are the key differences between them:

  1. Beamforming: Beamforming is a signal processing technique used in antenna arrays to focus the transmitted or received signal in a specific direction. It aims to enhance the signal strength and quality in a desired direction while suppressing interference or noise from other directions. Beamforming can be used for both transmission and reception.

Beamforming is particularly useful in wireless communication systems, such as cellular networks and Wi-Fi, where it improves signal reception at the user's location and increases overall system capacity. By directing the signal towards the intended receiver, beamforming can enhance the signal-to-noise ratio, extend coverage range, and improve system performance.

  1. Multiplexing: Multiplexing involves combining multiple signals or data streams into a single transmission medium or channel. The purpose of multiplexing is to efficiently share the available bandwidth, allowing simultaneous transmission of multiple signals without interference.

There are different types of multiplexing techniques, including Time Division Multiplexing (TDM), Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM), and Code Division Multiplexing (CDM). Each technique allocates different resources (time slots, frequency bands, codes) to individual signals, enabling their simultaneous transmission and subsequent demultiplexing at the receiver.

Multiplexing is widely used in various communication systems, such as telecommunications, broadcasting, and networking, to maximize channel utilization and accommodate multiple users or data streams efficiently.

  1. Diversity: Diversity techniques aim to enhance communication reliability by mitigating the effects of channel impairments, such as fading, interference, and noise. Diversity exploits multiple transmission paths or redundant information to improve signal reception quality and increase the chances of successful communication.

Different types of diversity techniques include frequency diversity, time diversity, and space diversity. Frequency diversity involves transmitting the same signal over multiple frequency bands, while time diversity transmits the same signal at different time instances. Space diversity utilizes multiple antennas to transmit or receive the same signal, leveraging spatial differences in the channel.

Diversity techniques are commonly used in wireless communication systems to combat fading and improve system performance. They help mitigate signal attenuation, multipath propagation, interference, and other channel impairments, thereby enhancing the reliability and quality of communication.

In summary, beamforming focuses on directing signals in a specific direction, multiplexing combines multiple signals into a single channel, and diversity techniques aim to improve reliability by leveraging redundant information or multiple transmission paths.

NOMA-THz by Ding

 Treat the predefined beams as bandwidth. The coverage area has 4 users and NOMA-assisted using beam based resource allocation to each user 4 beams for 4 users. But when we add more users, then they will fit in the existing beams. example: new 5 users added. Now, we have 3 beams serving 2 users each and 1 beam serving 3 users.  BEAM ALLOCATION FOR THZ-NOMA AND MIMO-NOMA.  BEAMS ARE LOCATION RESTRICTED.  age of information:

Steps to start work on LLM from scratch:

 1. Basic Programming skills on Python 2. Few basics of ML or Deep learning  3. Start with udemy free course:  https://www.udemy.com/course/langchain/ 4. Get paid subscription for Open AI :  https://openai.com/index/openai-api/ 5. Get Paid subscription for serapi:  https://serpapi.com/users/sign_in Note: Serapi is used for google search results. In courses, they says its a free api but when we use it in code, it wont work until and unless it is an paid version. One can explicitly define few values during tutorials to avoid paid subscriptions.  6. Get chatgpt 4 subscription:  https://chatgpt.com/auth/login?sso Note: For google search results till 2021, we can use chatgpt 4 instead of serapi. However, note that we can't get results for > 2021.  7.

Journal paper review process queries:

 1.  How many days does it take for the whole review process of a conference and a journal? A: For a conference, one has to check the website of the related conference to know the date of the final result.  For a journal, it depends on the Publication, and a rough analysis based on previous experience is as follows: Ex: TWC: 3 months,       TCOM: 3-4 months,       TIV:  1 month       TVT: 3 months  2. Acceptance rate of the paper under review:  For the conference, the accept and reject ratio of any conference in the ideal case is  30:70 Case 1: Sometimes it may undergo "Unsubmit" status after under review status, especially due to the format, font size, line limit per page issue, and misprinted references. Hence, it is important to check the mail even after it the submitted successfully. Usually, one will be notified within a week of the submission regarding this kind of issue.  Case 2: Once it is ...
