Analysis of capacity and coverage region for Rayleigh fading MIMO relay channel

In this paper, we consider Rayleigh fading MIMO relay channel with channel state information at the receivers. First, we extend the previously obtained results for the ergodic capacity of uncorrelated and semi‐correlated MIMO channels and derive closed‐form expressions for the capacity bounds of MIMO relay channel. Next, we study this channel from a new point of view, maximizing coverage region for a desired transmission rate, and investigate the optimal relay location in the sense of maximizing coverage region. However, in order to overcome the mathematical complexity in desired transmission rate analysis, because of the randomness of the multiple antenna channel matrices, we evaluate this rate by using an existing exact formula and also by an approximation we find in the high signal‐to‐noise ratio regime. Numerical results show a perfect match between the Monte Carlo simulations and the obtained analytical closed‐form expressions and also confirm the effectiveness of our approach in cooperative vehicular communication for determining optimal relay location at which the coverage region is maximum.

Coded source neutron imaging with a MURA mask

In coded source neutron imaging the single aperture commonly used in neutron radiography is replaced with a coded mask. Using a coded source can improve the neutron flux at the sample plane when a very high L/D ratio is needed. The coded source imaging is a possible way to reduce the exposure time to get a neutron image with very high L/D ratio. A 17×17 modified uniformly redundant array coded source was tested in this work. There are 144 holes of 0.8 mm diameter on the coded source. The neutron flux from the coded source is as high as from a single 9.6 mm aperture, while its effective L/D is the same as in the case of a 0.8 mm aperture. The Richardson-Lucy maximum likelihood algorithm was used for image reconstruction. Compared to an in-line phase contrast neutron image taken with a 1 mm aperture, it takes much less time for the coded source to get an image of similar quality.     

WiFense：从衍射模型到边界监控

近年来,随着普适计算概念的深入人心,智能感知技术已成为研究者们关注的焦点,且基于WiFi的非接触式感知因其优秀的普适性、低廉的部署成本以及良好的用户体验越来越受到学术界和工业界的青睐.典型的WiFi非接触式感知工作有手势识别、呼吸检测、入侵检测、行为识别等,这些工作若实际部署,需首先避免其他无关区域中无关行为的干扰,因此需要判断目标是否进入到特定的感知区域中.这意味着系统应具备精准判断目标在界线哪一侧的能力,然而现有工作未能找到一个可以对某个自由设定的边界进行精确监控的方法,这阻碍了WiFi感知应用的实际落地.基于这一关键问题,从电磁波衍射的物理本质出发,结合菲涅尔衍射模型(Fresnel diffraction model),找到一种目标穿越link (收发设备天线的连线)时的信号特征(Rayleigh distribution in Fresnel diffraction model,RFD),并揭示该信号特征与人体活动之间的数学关系;之后以link作为边界,结合天线间距带来的波形时延以及AGC (automatic gain control)在link被遮挡时的特征,通过越线检测实现对边界的监控.在此基础上,还实现了两个实际应用,即入侵检测系统和居家状态监测系统,前者的精确率超过89%、召回率超过91%,后者的准确率超过89%.在验证所提边界监控算法的可用性和鲁棒性的同时,也展示了所提方法与其他WiFi感知技术相结合的巨大潜力,为WiFi感知技术的实际部署提供了思考方向.

基于部分信道信息的中继选择与功率分配算法

针对传统中继选择算法反馈开销大、信道条件利用不充分以及等功率分配算法资源利用率低等问题,在放大转发协作通信网络中,以最小化系统中断概率为目标,提出基于部分信道状态信息的中继选择与功率分配算法。指出源-中继-目的节点传输链路所能获得的信噪比受制于源-中继及中继-目的链路中接收信噪比较小者,各中继依据自身到源及目的节点链路的统计信道状态信息,采用不同的反馈策略向源节点进行信息反馈,由源节点完成中继选择,通过凸优化方法对所选择的源和中继节点进行功率分配。仿真结果表明,与基于第一跳信道信息的算法相比,该算法在仅增加少量反馈的条件下可明显降低系统的中断概率,且与同等反馈负荷下的其他算法相比,仍能获得较好的中断性能。

Robust optimization of transmit/receive beamformer for MIMO downlink with imperfect CSI at base station

A robust scheme is proposed to jointly optimize transmit/receive beamformers for Multiple Input Multiple Output （MIMO） downlinks where the available Channel State Information （CSI） at Base Station （BS） （CSIBS） is imperfect. The criterion is to minimize the sum Mean Square Error （sum-MSE） over all users under a constraint on the total transmit power, which is a non-convex and non-linear problem. Observing from the first order optimization condition that the optimal transmit/receive beamformers are mutually dependent, the transmit/receive beamformers for each user are updated iteratively until the sum-MSE is minimized. Simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme can effectively mitigate the system performance loss induced by imperfect CSIBS.     

Performance of joint transmit and receive antenna selection in dual hop amplify‐and‐forward relay network over Nakagami‐m fading channels

In this paper, performance of joint transmit and receive antenna selection in each hop of dual hop amplify‐and‐forward relay network is analyzed over flat and asymmetric Nakagami‐m fading channels. In the network, source, relay, and destination are equipped with multiple antennas. By considering relay location, we derive exact closed‐form cumulative distribution function, moment generating function, moments of end‐to‐end signal‐to‐noise ratio and closed form symbol error probability expressions for fixed and channel state information‐based relay gains. We also derive the asymptotical outage probability and symbol error probability expressions to obtain diversity order and array gain of the network. Analytical results are validated by the Monte Carlo simulations. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
