abstract = {Short-packet communication (SPC) is essentially synonymous with ultra-reliable low-latency communication (uRLLC), which must meet stringent latency and reliability requirements. However, achieving efficient hybrid beamforming (HBF) in SPC-based millimeter wave (mmWave) systems is challenging due to the constraints of finite block lengths, limited number of radio frequency chains (RFCs), and owing to the complex optimization of transmit precoders (TPCs). In this work, we investigate the achievable rate region of an SPC-based mmWave downlink system. We harness the HBF for finite block lengths low-latency communication, relying on a low number of RFCs. We formulate a Pareto optimization problem for characterizing the achievable rate region, while considering the transmit power, mmWave hardware, and block length constraints. To solve this highly non-convex problem, we propose a bisection search-based block coordinate descent (Bi-BCD) algorithm, in which we optimize the RF TPC, the baseband (BB) TPC, and the block length. Specifically, we jointly optimize the RF and BB TPCs for a fixed block length, which involves both Remanian conjugate gradient (RCG) and second-order cone programming (SOCP) techniques, and then we optimize the block length by the mixed integer programming method. Subsequently, we update the achievable rate via the bisection search method. Finally, we present simulation results and quantify the efficiency of the proposed scheme.},

abstract = {Pareto optimal solutions are conceived for radar beamforming error (RBE) and sum rate maximization in short-packet (SP) millimeter-wave (mmWave) integrated sensing and communication (ISAC). Our ultimate goal is to realize ultra-reliable low-latency communication (uRLLC) and real-time sensing capabilities for 6G applications. The ISAC base station (BS) transmits short packets in the downlink (DL) to serve multiple communication users (CUs) and detect multiple radar targets (RTs). We investigate the performance trade-off between the sensing and communication capabilities by optimizing both the radio frequency (RF) and the baseband (BB) transmit precoder (TPC), together with the block lengths. The optimization problem considers the minimum rate requirements of the CUs, the maximum tolerable radar beamforming error (RBE) for the RTs, the unit modulus (UM) elements of the RF TPC, and the finite transmit power as the constraints for SP transmission. The resultant problem is highly non-convex due to the intractable rate expression of the SP regime coupled with the non-convex rate and UM constraints. To solve this problem, we propose an innovative two-layer bisection search (TLBS) algorithm, wherein the RF and BB TPCs are optimized in the inner layer, followed by the block length in the outer layer. Furthermore, a pair of novel methods, namely a bisection search-based majorizer and minimizer (BMM) as well as exact penalty-based manifold optimization (EPMO) are harnessed for optimizing the RF TPC in the inner layer. Subsequently, the BB TPC and the block length are derived via second-order cone programming (SOCP) and mixed integer programming methods, respectively. Finally, our exhaustive simulation results reveal the effect of system parameters for various settings on the RBE-rate region of the SP mmWave ISAC system and demonstrate a significantly enhanced performance compared to the benchmarks.},

abstract = {The performance of modern wireless communication systems is typically limited by interference. The impact of interference can be even more severe in ultra-reliable and low-latency communication (URLLC) use cases. A powerful tool for managing interference is rate splitting multiple access (RSMA), which encompasses many multiple-access technologies like non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), spatial division multiple access (SDMA), and broadcasting. Another effective technology to enhance the performance of URLLC systems and mitigate interference is constituted by reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs). This paper develops RSMA schemes for multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) RIS-aided broad-cast channels (BCs) based on finite block length (FBL) coding. We show that RSMA and RISs can substantially improve the spectral efficiency (SE) and energy efficiency (EE) of MIMO RIS-aided URLLC systems. Additionally, the gain of employing RSMA and RISs noticeably increases when the reliability and latency constraints are more stringent. Furthermore, RISs impact RSMA differently, depending on the user load. If the system is underloaded, RISs are able to manage the interference sufficiently well, making the gains of RSMA small. However, when the user load is high, RISs and RSMA become synergetic.},
