Summary form only given. Emerging demands for high data rate multimedia based services and high spectral efficiency are the key drives for the continued technology evolution in wireless communications. Recently, several advancements have been introduced for 3G wireless communication systems to further enhance the data rate and the system performance. However, due to the proliferation of wireless multimedia applications and services such as video teleconferencing, network gaming, and high-quality audio/video streaming, it is apparent that 3G wireless systems will be unable to comply with this ever increasing demand for broadband wireless services. The next generation wireless communication systems (namely, fourth generation (4G) or beyond 3G (B3G) systems) are expected to support much higher data rate services compared to evolving 3G systems (up to 100 Mbit/s in outdoor environments and up to 1 Gbit/s in indoor environments). The major technical challenges will be achieving high spectral efficiency and handling high frequency-selectivity due to the use of large bandwidth. Hence, it has become crucial to incorporate the recent technical advances in the physical layer into the future wireless systems. In this keynote speech, an overview of leading technological advances and future trends in the physical layer that enable truly ubiquitous broadband wireless capabilities will be presented. The topics include multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technologies, adaptive modulation, cooperative diversity, multicarrier CDMA, ultra wideband (UWB) transmission, and cognitive radio.

Terahertz (THz) communication is widely regarded as a key component of the future 6G mobile communication system. This paper proposes a novel ultra-wideband fiber-THz-fiber seamless converged real-time architecture that fully exploits the commercially mature digital coherent optical module (DCO) to realize ultra-high capacity THz real-time wireless communication by conducting a comparative analysis for some of the main existing technical routes of THz up- and down-conversion in THz wireless communication systems. (1) The proposed architecture employs the techniques of dual-polarization photonic up-conversion for THz generation and hybrid optoelectronic down-conversion for THz reception, respectively, to enable seamless integration of optical fiber and THz communications. (2) Due to the limited bandwidth of the optoelectronic devices, multi-dimensional modulation techniques are adopted for ultra-wideband terahertz signals to improve the spectral efficiency and transmission capacity. (3) An intelligent nonlinear joint compensation technique based on deep neural network (DNN) is proposed, which can effectively improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the time-varying hybrid fiber-THz-fiber channel. Based on the above-mentioned investigations, we for the first time realize the photonics-aided record-high 100/200 GbE real-time THz wireless transmission at 360 (∼) 430 GHz band, with a capacity of 10 to 20 times that of 5G. The proposed fiber-THz-fiber architecture can realize the smooth conversion between high-speed THz signal and lightwave signal. Furthermore, the architecture can significantly reduce research complexity and development costs and thus greatly accelerate the commercialization of 6G THz technology by highly reusing commercial DCO modules, which is compatible with the physical layer transmission protocols such as IEEE 802.3 and ITU-T G.798. Finally, this paper discusses some potential research and development directions for higher-capacity, longer-distance, and more-integrated fiber-THz-fiber seamless communication.

INTRODUCTION New challenges in modern communication is to conceive highly reliable and fast communication system deprivedfrom problems caused by multipath fading in wireless channels. A very important problem in data commu-nications is channel equalization. i.e., the removal of interferences introduced by linear or nonlinear messagecorrupting mechanisms. Thus the originally transmitted symbols can be recovered correctly at the receiver.New techniques to provide the optimal detection under bad channel estimation and solving the channel equal-ization must be developed and evaluated. To achieve fast and reliable wireless digital communication, as forinter-symbol interference (ISI), studies must concern adaptive equalization to minimize the communication errors

The subject of research in this article is the process of building a mobile communication system that operates under electronic countermeasures. The aim is to develop recommendations for building a wireless mobile communication system that operates effectively in a complex interfering electromagnetic environment. The strategy for building a mobile wireless communication system is based on the use of a grouping of low-altitude UAVs with ultra-wideband signal technology circulating in control and communication channels, with the integration of artificial intelligence elements into its structure. The objective of this study is to ensure the stable and secure operation of a wireless mobile communication system despite electronic countermeasures. The methods of analytical, temporal positional pulse coding, and fuzzy logical inference were used to make decisions on the transfer of service in the network. The following results were obtained. A strategy for building a wireless mobile communication system despite electronic countermeasures has been developed. It is shown that in order to obtain high noise immunity of control and communication channels and to protect information from interception, wireless ultra-wideband communication technology should be used. This will provide large volumes and speeds of information transmission. A technical solution for the design of an ultra-wideband transceiver antenna system is proposed. Moreover, it is recommended to use the results of data processing in a fuzzy decision-making system for the transfer of service between mobile network nodes in conditions of interference. Conclusions. The scientific novelty of the obtained results is as follows. The use of ultra-wideband channels makes it possible to increase the number of control and communication channels in a wireless mobile system almost unlimitedly. The preliminary distribution of orthogonal codes between the channels realizes the process of control and communication without the interception of information and mutual interference. The use of the time-position-pulse coding method prevents the occurrence of intercharacter distortions of the encoding ultrashort pulses. This also reduces the level of distortion of information signals caused by multipath propagation, which guarantees the security of information in the system. The use of a fuzzy decision-making system for the transfer of services between mobile network nodes allows dynamically changing the network topology in real time and maintaining high quality of service under electronic countermeasures.

As the demand for higher data throughput continues to grow, next-generation wireless communication systems are expected to deliver per-link data rates in the range of tens to hundreds of gigabits per second. Photon-assisted generation of terahertz (THz) signals can support larger modulation bandwidths in future ultrahigh-speed wireless communication systems. Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) has emerged as a promising candidate for future THz communication systems owing to its capability to combat frequency-selective fading and suppress inter-symbol interference (ISI). The least-squares (LS) method is widely used for channel estimation due to its simplicity and low computational complexity. However, it is highly sensitive to noise and interference, resulting in limited estimation accuracy. In this work, we proposed an LS maximum ratio combining (MRC) scheme that combines the SNRs of I- and Q-branch pilot-based channel estimations using the MRC technique to enhance the accuracy of channel estimation and equalization. We experimentally demonstrate 16-GBaud QPSK wireless transmission over 4.6 km at 137.5 GHz using a photon-assisted terahertz IQ-mixer communication system. By employing LS-MRC, we achieve more than 2 dB gain, significantly improving link performance. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first experimental demonstration of high-gain performance achieved through the use of I/Q mixer and LS-MRC techniques in a D-band terahertz communication system.

The concept of deadline dependent coding (DDC) has previously been suggested by the authors for maximizing the probability of delivering the required information before a given deadline in a wireless communication system.. In this paper, these principles are further developed using concatenated codes with iterative decoding, providing a new level of flexibility and robustness for DDC protocols. The strategy of DDC is to combine different coding and decoding methods with automatic repeat request (ARQ) techniques in order to fulfill the application requirements within a wireless realtime communication system. These requirements are formulated as two quality of service (QoS) parameters: deadline (t/sub DL/) and probability of correct delivery before the deadline (P/sub d/), leading to a probabilistic view of realtime communication. An application can negotiate these QoS parameters with the DDC protocol, thus creating a flexible and fault-tolerant scheme.

This article provides an overview of five physicallayer security mechanisms: Physical-Layer Authentication (PLA), Physical-Layer Confidential Communications (PLCC), Physical- Layer Key Generation (PLKG), Physical-Layer Communications with Low Probability of Detection (PLC-LPD), and Physical- Layer Steganography (PLS). We explain the relationship among five physical-layer security mechanisms. Then, we review the features of various physical-layer security mechanisms in terms of the basic idea, properties, assumptions, classification, threat model, and applications, respectively. At last, we introduce five promising plans by combining different physical-layer security mechanisms to further improve the final performance.

The high speed railway wireless communication system is quite different from public wireless communication system, because the service is train control message, which are closely related to the safety of train transportation. Thus it has much higher requirements for the safety and reliability. In this paper, secrecy capacity and outage probability at the high speed railway scenario with traditional MIMO and beamforming schemes are analyzed. The analytic results show that MIMO scheme can not meet the safety requirements and the beamforming scheme is also helpless while the eavesdropper is close to eNodeB. In order to guarantee the transmission safety of train control messages, a physical layer secure scheme with artificial noise (AN) is proposed for high speed railway communication system. In this proposed scheme, beamforming and AN transmitting directions are adjusted accordingly with the onboard legitimate receiver's channel state information (CSI) and eavesdropper's partial CSI to degrade the eavesdropper while maximize the system secrecy capacity. Simulation results demonstrate the proposed scheme decreases the outage probability under the secrecy capacity constraint, and can meet the safety communication requirements.

Going the last mile: A spatial decision support system for wireless broadband communications

User-Assisted Cooperative Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (UA-CNOMA) is a key enabler for Beyond 5G (B5G) networks, offering efficient spectrum usage by allowing multiple users to share time-frequency resources. This technology holds significant potential for defence and military communications, where secure, reliable, and high-capacity transmission is crucial. This paper introduces a novel two-layer physical layer security (PLS) framework for UA-CNOMA systems, designed to ensure both data confidentiality and user authentication under adversarial conditions. The approach combines chaotic encryption using a logistic map with PLS keys derived from wireless channel characteristics, securing both data and control parameters from tampering or prediction. Physical layer authentication (PLA) is employed by generating unique authentication tags based on channel features, ensuring that only legitimate users gain access. To enhance communication reliability in complex environments, user-assisted relays and successive interference cancellation (SIC) are integrated for effective signal decoding and secure decryption. Performance evaluations, including Bit Error Rate (BER) and security metrics, confirm the scheme’s robustness against eavesdropping and spoofing attacks. The proposed framework provides a scalable, secure, and resilient solution tailored for mission-critical defence applications in modern B5G communication systems.
