The abstract, sentence by sentence
In the context of extremely large-scale antenna arrays deployed in sixth-generation (6G) mobile networks, near-field (NF) communications have gained considerable attention. Unlike the planar waves formulated in the far-field, electromagnetic radiation propagates as spherical waves in the NF. This alteration affects the NF channel characteristics, particularly resulting in weak sparsity in angular-domain NF channels, which poses tricky challenges to the application of compressed sensing (CS). Motivated by these facts, the block-dominant compressed sensing (BD-CS) techniques are proposed to assist NF communications. This article starts with the introduction on why block sparsity exists in the distance-limited NF region. Then, block-dominant side-information (BD-SI) is exploited to facilitate the actual NF communication implementation. While BD-CS shows promise in providing exceptional channel estimation accuracy and high spectral efficiency, several key challenges, opportunities, and practical implementation issues in NF communications need careful consideration.

In the context of extremely large-scale antenna arrays deployed in sixth-generation (6G) mobile networks, near-field (NF) communications have gained considerable attention. Unlike the planar waves formulated in the far-field, electromagnetic radiation propagates as spherical waves in the NF. This alteration affects the NF channel characteristics, particularly resulting in weak sparsity in angular-domain NF channels, which poses tricky challenges to the application of compressed sensing (CS). Motivated by these facts, the block-dominant compressed sensing (BD-CS) techniques are proposed to assist NF communications. This article starts with the introduction on why block sparsity exists in the distance-limited NF region. Then, block-dominant side-information (BD-SI) is exploited to facilitate the actual NF communication implementation. While BD-CS shows promise in providing exceptional channel estimation accuracy and high spectral efficiency, several key challenges, opportunities, and practical implementation issues in NF communications need careful consideration.

As proved in several works, e.g., [ref] and [ref] , when the number of non-zero channel-taps is fixed, the block structure enables more accurate identification of the non-zero channel-taps.

Provided that the number of non-zero elements in a signal vector is much smaller than the total dimension of the vector, then this signal is sparse, and the fraction of non-zero elements is termed as the sparsity level [ref] .
