This paper considers precoding for multi-group multicasting with a common message. The multiple antenna base station communicates with K clusters, each with L users. There is a common message destined to all users and a private multicast message for each cluster. We study the weighted sum rate (WSR) maximization problem for two different schemes: 1) the base station transmits the superposition of common and multicast messages and 2) the base station concatenates the multicast message vector with the common message. We also formulate a second problem, weighted minimum mean square error (WMMSE) minimization, and prove that WSR maximization and WMMSE minimization are equivalent at the optimal solution. Inspired by the WMMSE problem, we suggest a suboptimal algorithm, based on alternating optimization. We apply this algorithm to the two transmission schemes and understand that there is a fundamental difference between the two. We compare the results with maximal ratio transmission (MRT) and zero-forcing (ZF) precoding and investigate the effects of the number of base station antennas, the number of groups, and the number of users in a group. Finally, we study imperfect successive interference cancellation (SIC) at the receivers and show that the first transmission scheme is more robust.

Rate Splitting for Multi-Group Multicasting With a Common Message
Yalcin, Ahmet Zahid; Yüksel Turgut, Ayşe Melda; Clerckx, Bruno (2020-10-01)
In this letter, precoding for max-min fairness (MMF) for multi-group multicasting with a common message is studied. The MMF problem is converted into a weighted mean square error minimization problem. A rate-splitting solution is proposed. In rate-splitting, multicast messages for each group are divided into private and common parts, and these common parts, together with the original common message are combined as a super common message. This super common message is superposed on or concatenated to the priv...
Cognitive Penetration and Cognitive Realism
Davoody Benı, Majıd (2021-01-01)
The paper addresses the issue of theory-ladenness of observation/experimentation. Motivated by a naturalistic reading of Thomas Kuhn's insights into the same topic, I draw on cognitive neuroscience (predictive coding under Free Energy Principle) to scrutinise theory-ladenness. I equate theory-ladenness with the cognitive penetrability of perceptual inferences and argue that strong theory-ladenness prevails only under uncertain circumstances. This understanding of theory-ladenness is in line with Thomas Kuhn...
MIMO Communication Systems Using Hierarchical Modulation
Ugur, Yigit; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür (2014-04-25)
This paper considers multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems using hierarchical modulation. The disadvantage of the maximum-likelihood (ML) receiver is that the computational complexity increases exponentially with the number of transmit antennas and the number of bits per modulation symbol. Using MIMO communication system with 16-ary hierarchical quadrature amplitude modulation (16-HQAM), we propose a receiver structure which can be an alternative to maximum-likelihood (ML) receiver. 16...
CROSS-LEVEL TYPING THE LOGICAL FORM FOR OPEN-DOMAIN SEMANTIC PARSING
Öztürel, İsmet Adnan; Bozşahin, Cem; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2022-8-29)
This thesis presents a novel approach to assigning types to expressive Discourse Representation Structure (DRS) meaning representations. In terms of linguistic analysis, our typing methodology couples together the representation of phenomena at the same level of analysis that was traditionally considered to belong to distinctive layers. In the thesis, we claim that the realisation of sub-lexical, lexical, sentence and discourse-level phenomena (such as tense, word sense, named entity class, thematic role, a...
DETERMINANTS OF TURKEY'S TRADE FLOWS: GRAVITY MODEL APPROACH
Bilici, Oe; Erdil, Erkan; Yetkiner, H. (2011-01-01)
This paper aims to determine (i) the trade flow equation for Turkey by using the gravity equation, (ii) the role of EU in Turkey's trade and whether the Customs Union of EU that Turkey entered in 1996 made a deviation in Turkey's trade flows. Turkey was a closed economy in late 1970s and has gradually become an open economy in these 30 years. During this period, Turkey followed globalization and regional integration strategies simultaneously. On the one hand, Turkey gradually opened its economy to the rest ...
