Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described, including a movable relay location variance report. The movable relay location variance report may enable more robust and accurate communications between a control node (e.g., a user equipment (UE) and a base station) and a movable relay (e.g., a drone) equipped with a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS). In some aspects, the location variance report may characterize the variance of the drone's location and transmit the information to the UE, the base station, or both. The location variance report may influence the control node beam width, the drone location, and an angle at which the drone may position a RIS. The control node may indicate an adjusted set of parameters to the drone based on receiving the location variance report.

Abstract: The present invention provides a MIMO transmission method for discrete modulated signals. The method is mainly characterized in maximizing the mutual information of symbol vectors of a transmitter and a receiver by joint optimization of a source distribution and a precoding matrix. When the current precoding matrix G is determined, the distribution of source multi-dimensional vectors x is maximized by a Lagrange multiplier method to maximize a source entropy; and when the distribution of the current source multi-dimensional vectors x is determined, the precoding matrix G is optimized by a gradient descent method to maximize the mutual information of the transmitted and received vectors. The transmission rate approximates the Shannon limit under a MIMO scenario by joint optimization of the source distribution and the precoding matrix. After the transmitter determines a marginal distribution of symbols of each channel, a non-uniform modulation is performed by using a probabilistic amplitude shaping technology.
