Article Abstract

At the dawn of the next-generation wireless systems and networks, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) in combination with leading-edge technologies, methodologies, and architectures are poised to be a cornerstone technology. Capitalizing on its successful integration and scalability within 5G and beyond, massive MIMO has proven its merits and adaptability. Notably, a series of evolutionary advancements and revolutionary trends have begun to materialize in recent years, envisioned to redefine the landscape of future 6G wireless systems and networks. In particular, the capabilities and performance of future massive MIMO systems will be amplified through the incorporation of cutting-edge technologies, structures, and strategies. These include intelligent omni-surfaces (IOSs)/intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs), artificial intelligence (AI), Terahertz (THz) communications, and cell-free architectures. In addition, an array of diverse applications built on the foundation of massive MIMO will continue to proliferate and thrive. These encompass wireless localization and sensing, vehicular communications, non-terrestrial communications, remote sensing, and inter-planetary communications, among others.

Integrated Sensing And Communication (ISAC) has been applied to the Internet of Things (IoT) network as a promising 6G technology due to its ability to enhance spectrum utilization and reduce resource consumption, making it ideal for high-precision sensing applications. However, while the introduction of millimeter Wave (mmWave) and massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) technologies can enhance the performance of ISAC systems, they extend the near-field region, rendering traditional channel parameter estimation algorithms ineffective due to the spherical wavefront channel model. Aiming to address the challenge, we propose a tensor-based channel parameter estimation and localization algorithm for the near-field mmWave massive MIMO-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) ISAC systems.

With the rapid development of sixth-generation (6G) wireless networks and large-scale multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology, the number of antennas deployed at base stations (BSs) has increased significantly, resulting in a high probability that users are in the near-field region. Note that it is difficult for the traditional far-field plane-wave model to meet the demand for high-precision beamforming in the near-field region. In this paper, we jointly optimize the power and the number of antennas to achieve the maximum energy efficiency for the users located in the near-field region.
