Achievable information rates of multi-antenna systems over frequency-selective fading channels with constrained inputs

Information rates of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems over frequency-selective fading channels are computed under the constraint of independent identically distributed inputs chosen from a finite alphabet. The method uses a simulation based approach that employs the sum-product algorithm.

MIMO-OFDM快衰落信道的稀疏自适应感知估计

在多输入多输出（MIMO）-正交频分复用（OFDM） 系统中,怎样在较高频谱利用率的情况下对快时变信道进行较为准确的估计是一个具有挑战性的课题。该文在利用压缩感知理论可提高系统频谱利用率的基础上,提出了一种适合于快时变环境下MIMO-OFDM 系统的稀疏自适应信道估计方法。该方法不再受到奈奎斯特采样频率条件约束,避免了传统导频辅助信道估计方法频谱利用率低的缺点。该文方法通过构建多天线群时频结构特征稀疏基,利用多天线间和群时变OFDM符号内信道冲激响应具有更强稀疏性的特点,对MIMO-OFDM快衰落信道进行稀疏变换。由于实际MIMO-OFDM快衰落信道往往处于频率选择性、时变性和多种干扰并存的复杂环境,受到干扰的信道参数对系统而言是未知,采用该方法克服了现有基于压缩感知理论的信道估计方法需要预先知道信道冲激响应稀疏度才能重构信道参数的不足,在信道稀疏度未知道的情况下,运用稀疏自适应的方法来对不同时频结构特征的信道参数进行估计。仿真结果表明所提估计方法具有对快时变信道参数估计的鲁棒性和较高频谱利用率,且均方误差小。

Noncoherent space-frequency coded MIMO-OFDM

Recently, the use of coherent space-frequency coding in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)-based frequency-selective multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) fading channels has been proposed. Acquiring knowledge of the fading coefficients in a MIMO channel is already very challenging in the frequency-flat (fast) fading case. In the frequency-selective case, this task becomes significantly more difficult due to the presence of multiple paths, which results in an increased number of parameters to be estimated. In this paper, we address code design for noncoherent frequency-selective MIMO-OFDM fading links, where neither the transmitter nor the receiver knows the channel. We derive the code design criteria, quantify the maximum achievable diversity gain, and provide explicit constructions of full-diversity (space and frequency) achieving codes along with an analytical and numerical performance assessment. We also demonstrate that unlike in the coherent case, noncoherent space-frequency codes designed to achieve full spatial diversity in the frequency-flat fading case can fail completely to exploit not only frequency diversity but also spatial diversity when used in frequency-selective fading environments. We term such codes "catastrophic.".     

A MIMO-OFDM prototype for next-generation wireless WANs

Coupled with a robust and efficient OFDM air interface, MIMO technologies lead to a very compelling high-speed data downlink solution for future wireless systems. This article presents Nortel Networks' MIMO-OFDM concept prototype and measured performance results. This prototype has been developed in the framework of a Nortel Networks system concept for 3G evolution systems and next-generation wide area wireless networks. The prototype is based on a shared access MIMO-OFDM physical layer in the downlink, supporting adaptive modulation and coding, with peak rates up to 37 Mb/s. The uplink is based on an enhanced UMTS WCDMA physical layer. Performance for the high-speed downlink has been measured under various emulated fading conditions. The measured performance illustrates the robustness of OFDM in frequency-selective channels and high-speed mobility channels, supporting speeds as high as 200 km/h. The prototype can also be used for over-the-air assessment of the technology.     

Broadband MIMO-OFDM wireless communications

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a popular method for high data rate wireless transmission. OFDM may be combined with antenna arrays at the transmitter and receiver to increase the diversity gain and/or to enhance the system capacity on time-varying and frequency-selective channels, resulting in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) configuration. The paper explores various physical layer research challenges in MIMO-OFDM system design, including physical channel measurements and modeling, analog beam forming techniques using adaptive antenna arrays, space-time techniques for MIMO-OFDM, error control coding techniques, OFDM preamble and packet design, and signal processing algorithms used to perform time and frequency synchronization, channel estimation, and channel tracking in MIMO-OFDM systems. Finally, the paper considers a software radio implementation of MIMO-OFDM.     

Obtaining full-diversity space-frequency codes from space-time codes via mapping

This paper considers the problem of space-frequency code design for frequency-selective multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation. We show that space-time codes achieving full diversity in quasistatic flat fading environment can be used to construct space-frequency codes that can achieve the maximum diversity available in frequency-selective MIMO fading channels. Since the codes are constructed via a simple mapping from space-time codes to space-frequency codes, the abundant classes of existing space-time block and trellis codes can be used for full diversity transmission in MIMO-OFDM systems. The proposed mapping provides a tradeoff between the achieved diversity order and the symbol rate. Moreover, we characterize the performance of the space-frequency codes obtained via the mapping by finding lower and upper bounds on their coding advantages as functions of the coding advantages of the underlying space-time codes. This result will allow us to investigate the effects of the delay distribution and the power distribution of the channel impulse responses on the performance of the resulting space-frequency codes. Extensive simulation results are also presented to illustrate and support the theory.

Iterative detection and decoding with an improved V-BLAST for MIMO-OFDM systems

Multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems provide a very promising means to increase the spectral efficiency for wireless systems. By using orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), wideband transmission can be achieved over frequency-selective fading radio channels. First, in this paper, we introduce an improved vertical Bell Labs layered space-time (V-BLAST) receiver which takes the decision errors into account. Second, we propose an iterative detection and decoding (IDD) scheme for coded layered space-time architectures in MIMO-OFDM systems. For the iterative process, a low-complexity demapper is developed by making use of both nonlinear interference cancellation and linear minimum mean-square error filtering. Also, a simple cancellation method based on hard decision is presented to reduce the overall complexity. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed IDD scheme combined with the improved V-BLAST performs almost as well as the optimal turbo-MIMO approach, while providing tremendous savings in computational complexity.
