    SemantIC-Mamba: Enhancing Semantic Fidelity with Mamba-Based Global Context Modeling for 6G Communications

    by Bora Yoon, Junghyun Kim, Hong-Yeop Song

    This paper proposes semantic interference cancellation (SemantIC)-Mamba, a novel framework that enhances semantic reconstruction accuracy while stably maintaining channel decoding performance. The proposed model follows a turbo structure in which information is complementarily exchanged between the semantic domain and the signal domain, progressively refining the reconstruction quality through iterative processing. To effectively perform this iterative information refinement, the proposed framework adopts a semantic autoencoder composed of three key components: a Conv block that extracts local features, a Mamba block that efficiently models long-range dependencies to integrate global contextual information, and an UpConv block that restores low-resolution features to the original resolution. Experimental results demonstrate that SemantIC-Mamba consistently achieves improved PSNR and classification accuracy compared to conventional SemantIC and SemantIC++ while maintaining channel decoding performance at a level comparable to existing models.

  • Polyphase Sequences With Flexible Zero-Ambiguity-Zone Configurations for Integrated Sensing and Communications

    by Gangsan Kim, Hong-Yeop Song, Guang Gong

    This paper develops the theory and constructions of polyphase zero-ambiguity-zone (ZAZ) sequences for ISAC waveforms, enabling the ZAZ shape to be designed over delay–Doppler regions of interest and supporting flexible (including multi-mode) sensing–communication operation. We first prove that a polyphase sequence with an optimal rectangular auto-ZAZ must be a member of some uncorrelated optimal ZCZ sequence family, and conversely, any member of an uncorrelated optimal ZCZ sequence family has an optimal rectangular auto-ZAZ. We generalize the optimality condition on the rectangular ZAZ to that on centrally symmetric convex ZAZs in general. We propose some constructions of families of polyphase sequences with a strictly or asymptotically optimal rectangular ZAZ, and asymptotically optimal rhombic or hexagonal ZAZ from the flexible ZAZ configuration.

    Some New Maximally Chaotic Discrete Maps

    by Hyojeong Choi, Gangsan Kim, Hong-Yeop Song, Sangung Shin, Chulho Lee, Hongjun Noh

    In this paper, we first prove (Theorem 1) that any two inputs producing the same output in a symmetric pair of discrete skew tent maps always have the same parity, meaning that they are either both even or both odd. Building on this property, we then propose (Definition 1) a new discrete chaotic map and prove that (Theorem 2) the proposed map is a bijection for all control parameters. We further prove that (Theorem 3) the discrete Lyapunov exponent (dLE) of the proposed map is not only positive but also approaches the maximum value among all permutation maps over the integers {0,1,…,2m−1} as m gets larger. In other words, (Corollary 1) the proposed map asymptotically achieves the highest possible chaotic divergence among the permutation maps over the integers {0,1,…,2m−1}. To provide some further evidence that the proposed map is highly chaotic, we present at the end some results from the numerical experiments. We calculate the approximation and permutation entropy of the output integer sequences. We also show the NIST SP800-22 tests results and correlation properties of some derived binary sequences.

    Mixer‐Based Neural Network for Binary Sequence Generation

    by Bora Yoon, Junghyun Kim, Hyojeong Choi, Hong‐Yeop Song

    This paper proposes MixBinNet, a neural network‐based model that generates binary sequences with low autocorrelation sidelobes and low cross‐correlation while maintaining a balanced bit distribution. Conventional sequence design methods lack flexibility in sequence length and set size, while often failing to jointly optimize correlation and balance properties. To overcome these limitations, MixBinNet employs an embedding block for diverse initialization, intra‐ and inter‐mixing blocks that learn local and global correlation patterns and a binarization block for converting real‐valued outputs into binary sequences. In addition, we design custom loss functions that enable the joint optimization of autocorrelation sidelobes, cross‐correlation and balanced bit distributions during training. Experimental results show that MixBinNet consistently outperforms existing chaotic map‐based methods in terms of autocorrelation and cross‐correlation, while maintaining a bit distribution close to the ideal ratio of 0.5. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of MixBinNet in generating high‐quality binary sequence sets.

  • Chaotic Nature of Integer Sequences From Primitive Linear Feedback Shift Registers

    by Hyojeong Choi, Gangsan Kim, Hong-Yeop Song, Hongjun Noh

    In this brief, we investigate the chaotic characteristics of the integer sequences generated by primitive linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs) by interpreting the internal states as integers. We prove that the discrete Lyapunov exponent (dLE) of the permutations induced by these sequences from an L-stage primitive LFSR approches to the range between $\ln (\sqrt {3})$ and $\ln (2)$ as L increases indefinitely and hence the dynamic systems satisfy the definition of discrete chaos. Furthermore, the 0–1 test of the sequences yields statistics close to 1, supporting the conclusion that these sequences exhibit chaotic dynamics under both theoretical and empirical evaluations.


  • Optimal 5-Seq LRCs With Availability From Golomb Rulers

    by Hyojeong Choi, Hong-Yeop Song

    In this paper, we propose a simple construction for binary $(n,k)$ linear codes using s-mark Golomb rulers. We prove that these codes are sequential-recovery locally repairable codes (LRCs) with availability 2, which can sequentially recover 5 erased symbols. We prove the necessary and sufficient condition for the proposed codes to be rate-optimal. We also prove the necessary and sufficient condition for the proposed codes to be dimension-optimal. Finally, we propose some variations of this constructions to obtain some 5-sequential recovery LRCs with availability 3. The proposed codes have higher rates and have more flexible choice for the lengths than other previously reported constructions.

    Enhanced semantic communication schemes for speech signals

    by Yerin Yeo, Junghyun Kim, Hong‐Yeop Song

    Two new models for semantic communication systems are proposed. The first model incorporates the convolutional block attention module, which considers attention techniques in both the channel and spatial domains. The second model applies the efficient channel attention (ECA) network with reduced complexity. Experimental results demonstrate that the convolutional block attention module-equipped model improved signal-to-distortion ratio performance by 25 % $25\%$ at a signal-to-noise ratio of 0 dB $0 \text{ dB}$ while maintaining a similar number of parameters compared to the existing model using squeeze-and-excitation network. Meanwhile, the efficient channel attention-equipped model reduced parameters by approximately 48 % $48\%$ without any degradation in performance compared to the existing model.

    Some Constructions and Mathematical Properties of Zero-Correlation-Zone Sonar Sequences

    by Xiaoxiang Jin, Gangsan Kim, Sangwon Chae, Hong-Yeop Song

    In this paper, we propose the zero-correlation-zone (ZCZ) of radius r on two-dimensional m×n sonar sequences and define the (m,n,r) ZCZ sonar sequences. We also define some new optimality of an (m,n,r) ZCZ sonar sequence which has the largest r for given m and n. Because of the ZCZ for perfect autocorrelation, we are able to relax the distinct difference property of the conventional sonar sequences, and hence, the autocorrelation of ZCZ sonar sequences outside ZCZ may not be upper bounded by 1. We may sometimes require such an ideal autocorrelation outside ZCZ, and we define ZCZ-DD sonar sequences, indicating that it has an additional distinct difference (DD) property. We first derive an upper bound on the ZCZ radius r in terms of m and n≥m. We next propose some constructions for (m,n,r) ZCZ sonar sequences, which leads to some very good constructive lower bound on r. Furthermore, this construction suggests that for m and r, the parameter n can be as large as possible indefinitely. We present some exhaustive search results on the existence of (m,n,r) ZCZ sonar sequences for some small values of r. For ZCZ-DD sonar sequences, we prove that some variations of Costas arrays construct some ZCZ-DD sonar sequences with ZCZ radius r=2. We also provide some exhaustive search results on the existence of (m,n,r) ZCZ-DD sonar sequences. Lots of open problems are listed at the end.
