Efficient Beamforming by SLNR Maximization for Dual-Hop Relay Assisted MIMO Network

Relay beamforming is a key signal processing technique to mitigate interference in single and multiuser multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) wireless communication networks. In MIMO relay networks interference cancellation is an essential task of the study to get optimal network capacity. In this paper, the problem of interference resulted from leakage signal from desired signal for intended antenna, which causing interference to other antennas of the same user with multiple antennas is tackled. The criterion of signal to leakage plus noise ratio (SLNR) maximization is considered to design a vector by vector relay downlink precoding based on Fukunaga Koontz transform. This can control the interference among multiple antennas and maximize SLNR. However, matched filter beamforming is utilized at the relay receiving side that can increase output signal to noise ratio at the relay node. The channel state information of both the channel between source to relay and relay to destination is assumed at the relay node. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is studied and compared with conventional relay precoding techniques. Simulation is carried out in MATLAB environment using ideal channel conditions. This study demonstrates that, the proposed scheme for relay assisted MIMO networks can improve overall system performance in terms of ergodic capacity.     

A lower bound on achievable rate of MRT precoding in multicell multiuser massive MIMO networks with Rician flat fading

A multicell multiuser massive multiple‐input‐multiple‐output (MIMO) network with Rician flat fading is considered. Given channel reciprocity, non‐orthogonal uplink channel training in conjunction with minimum mean square error channel estimation at the base stations are used to acquire channel state information. In the forward link, using maximal ratio transmission precoding, base stations send data to corresponding users. In this paper, first, a closed‐form expression for signal to interference and noise ratio and a lower bound on achievable rate are obtained for arbitrary number of base station antennas. Then, using random matrix theory, a simplified approximate expression for large number of base station antennas (i.e., massive MIMO scenario) are calculated. This simplified expression shows that in a multicell multiuser massive MIMO network with Rician flat fading, like Rayleigh fading, as the number of base station antennas goes to infinity, the effects of uncorrelated noise and intercell and intracell interferences tend to zero. The only factor limiting the performance of system is the correlated intercell interference, that is, pilot contamination, due to non‐orthogonality of channel training sequences in adjacent cells. Numerical results show that our obtained closed‐form expression is a good lower bound on sum‐rate for various system parameters. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On the MAC-BC duality of multiuser non-regenerative MIMO relay systems

Multiple input multiple output(MIMO) relaying techniques can greatly improve the spectral efficiency and extend network coverage for future wireless systems.This article investigates a multiuser MIMO relay channel,where a base station(BS) with multiple antennas communicates with multiple mobile stations(MS) via a relay station(RS) with multiple antennas.The RS applies linear processing to the received signal and then forwards the processed signal.The dual channel conditions between MIMO relay multiple access channel(MAC) and broadcast channel(BC) are first developed for single-relay scenario with white Gaussian noise.Then the MAC-BC duality for MIMO relay systems is established by proving that the capacity region of MIMO relay MAC is equal to that of dual MIMO relay BC under the same total network transmit power constraint.In addition,the duality is also extended to multi-relay scenario with arbitrary noise.Finally,several simple general numerical examples are provided to better illustrate the effectiveness of the MIMO relay MAC-BC duality.     

一种基于嵌套晶格码的MIMO中继多用户矢量预编码设计

针对多输入多输出(MIMO)中继多用户系统的多址传输问题,为了提高系统可达速率和误码率性能,该文利用嵌套晶格码具有可达加性高斯白噪声信道容量的特性,设计一种基站和中继联合预编码的方法。基站端的嵌套晶格码结合矢量扰动(VP)预编码,以控制发送信号的功率。由于矢量扰动预编码和嵌套晶格码都存在相同的模运算步骤,因此在中继端的模运算抑制噪声功率的同时消除了冗余矢量。接着实现中继联合迫整数预编码方法,这种基站/中继混合预编码技术能够控制等效噪声功率,实现对蜂窝用户的有效信号传输。更进一步地,在给出整系数矩阵和扰动矢量矩阵的计算方法后,以最大化系统可达速率为目标对基站和中继的功率实现最优分配。实验结果表明,该方案在可达速率和误码性能方面优于现有方案。

Grassmannian precoding MU-MIMO scheme

In this article, a Grassmannian precoding multiuser multiple-input multiple-output （MU-MIMO） scheme for downlink transmission is proposed. The proposed MU-MIMO scheme will perform scheduling and precoding simultaneously at the base station, to obtain both the multiuser diversity gain and the precoding gain, to maximize the system capacity. The precoding method is related to Grassmannian precoding, which extends the point-to-point single-user Grassmannian precoding to point-to-multipoint multiuser Grassmannian precoding. It provides further significant system capacity enhancement than the single user MIMO （SU-MIMO） system and also outperforms the block dia~onalization （BD） algorithm under the same simulation environment.

Joint precoding and power allocation for multiuser transmission in MIMO relay networks

This paper proposes a joint precoding and power allocation strategy to maximize the sum rate of multiuser multiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) relay networks. A two‐hop relay link working on amplify‐and‐forward (AF) mode is considered. Precoding and power allocation are designed jointly at the base station (BS). It is assumed that there are no direct links between the BS and users. Under individual power constraints at the BS and relay station, precoders designed based on zero forcing, minimum mean‐square error and maximum ratio transmission are derived, respectively. Optimal power allocation strategies for these precoders are given separately. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed strategies, we simulate the uncoded bit error rate performance of the underlined system. We also show the difference of the sum rate of the system with the optimal power allocation strategies and with average power transmission. The simulation results show the advantages of the proposed joint precoding and power allocation strategies as expected. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Low complexity MIMO scheduling with channel decomposition using capacity upperbound

In multiuser MIMO systems, the base station schedules transmissions to a group of users simultaneously. Since the data transmitted to each user are different, in order to avoid the inter-user interference, a transmit preprocessing technique which decomposes the multiuser MIMO downlink channel into multiple parallel independent single-user MIMO channels can be used. When the number of users is larger than the maximum that the system can support simultaneously, the base station selects a subset of users who have the best instantaneous channel quality to maximize the system throughput. Since the exhaustive search for the optimal user set is computationally prohibitive, a low complexity scheduling algorithm which aims to maximize the capacity upper bound is proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed scheduling algorithm achieves comparable total throughput as the optimal algorithm with much lower complexity.     

Performance enhancement of multiuser MIMO wireless communication systems

This paper describes a new approach to the problem of enhancing the performance of a multiuser multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) system for communication from one base station to many mobile stations in both frequency-flat and frequency-selective fading channels. This problem arises in space-division multiplexing systems with multiple users where many independent signal streams can be transmitted in the same frequency and time slot through the exploitation of multiple antennas at both the base and mobile stations. Our new approach is based on maximizing a lower bound for the product of signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR) of a multiuser MIMO system. This provides a closed-form (noniterative) solution for the antenna weights for all the users, under the constraint of fixed transmit power. Our solution is shown by simulation to have better performance than previously proposed iterative or noniterative solutions. In addition, our solution requires significantly reduced complexity over a gradient search-based method that directly optimizes the product SINRs while still maintaining similar performance. Our solution assumes channel state information is present at the base station or transmitter.
