Sum Throughput Enhancements in Quality of Service Constrained Multiuser MIMO OFDM Systems

In many wireless applications, such as video streaming, data transfer or mobile Internet, user satisfaction is directly related to the transmission rates of the wireless channels in the physical layer. If the transmission rate of one user undercuts a certain level, the quality of the application becomes unacceptable. Furthermore network operators are interested in maximizing overall system throughput. However, this aim can usually not be achieved without violating these minimum rate constraints. In this article we therefore consider a practical resource allocation scheme for MIMO OFDM systems that achieves both aims without requiring computationally expensive optimization algorithms. The main part consists of a user classification. Users in one group will only be served with their minimum required rates. The remaining users can exploit the additional system resources more effectively for strong throughput increases and are therefore put in the other group. An iterative application of the proposed scheme enables additional throughput increases and the consideration of maximum transmission rates.

Investigation of signal variance,bit error rates and pulse dispersion for DSPN signalling in A mobile dense scatterer ray tracing model

The canonical ray tracing model of R. H. Clarke is used to validate the concept of mitigation bandwidth as used to predict DSPN spread spectrum signal variability at a mobile receiving antenna in dense scatterers. Illustrative examples of chip pulse dispersion are presented, and bit error rate performance is explored under the assumption of slow fading. The pulse dispersion is seen to pose potential obstacles to any eventual chip timing extraction and radio-location ranging functions. Serendipitously, the performance of a DSPN embodiment of a 180° DPSK data link is seen to approximate closely that of a corresponding narrowband Rician fading link, even though no specular signal component is available to the DSPN link. The parameters of the equivalent Rician link are easily predicted from those of the DSPN link.

On the MIMO Channel Capacity Predicted by Kronecker and Müller Models

This paper presents a comparison between the outage capacity of MIMO channels predicted by the Kronecker and Müller models as a function of the number of scatterers, transmit and receive antennas. The Müller model is based on the singly-scattered rays between arrays of transmit- and receive antennas, while the Kronecker model considers only double scattering. The channel capacity predictions by the Müller model were observed to be higher than those by the Kronecker model. Moreover, Müller model is simpler since it is characterized by fewer parameters, and accounts for frequency selective fading whilst the Kronecker model is valid only for frequency flat fading.

Antenna effects on indoor obstructed wireless channels and a deterministic image-based wide-band propagation model for in-building personal communication systems

In this paper, the effects of antenna pattern and antenna polarization on indoor obstructed (OBS) wireless channels are investigated experimentally. Our results show that linearly polarized (LP) directional antennas are more effective in combating multipath components than other types of antennas in OBS channels. The measurement results are verified with a deterministic wide-band propagation model based on image theory that takes into account the effects of building geometry, antenna pattern, and antenna polarization. Preliminary prediction results show that the propagation model holds promise for accurate and efficient in-building wireless channel prediction.

Scheduling Algorithms and Throughput Maximization for the Downlink of Packet-Data Cellular Systems with Multiple Antennas at the Base Station

The capacity-achieving coding scheme for the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) broadcast channel is dirty-paper coding. With this type of transmission scheme the optimal number of active users that receive data and the optimal power allocation strategy are highly dependent on the structure of the channel matrix and on the total transmit power available. In the context of packet-data access with adaptive transmission where mobile users are equipped with a single receive antenna and the base station has multiple transmit antennas, we study the optimal number of active users and the optimal power allocation. In the particular case of two transmit antennas, we prove that the optimal number of active users can be a non-monotonic function of the total transmit power. Thus not only the number of users that should optimally be served simultaneously depends on the user channel vectors but also on the power available at the base station transmitter. The expected complexity of optimal scheduling algorithms is thus very high. Yet we then prove that at most as many users as the number of transmit antennas are allocated a large amount of power asymptotically in the high-power region in order to achieve the sum-capacity. Simulations confirm that constraining the number of active users to be no more than the number of transmit antennas incurs only a marginal loss in spectral efficiency. Based on these observations, we propose low-complexity scheduling algorithms with sub-optimal transmission schemes that can approach the sum-capacity of the MIMO broadcast channel by taking advantage of multiuser diversity. The suitability of known antenna selection algorithms is also demonstrated. We consider the cases of complete and partial channel knowledge at the transmitter. We provide simulation results to illustrate our conclusions.

MoM solutions to building blockage of mobile satellite communications

This article presents a full-wave propagation model for arbitrary profile of building blockage in mobile satellite communications, by solving the electric field integral equation for induced surface currents using the method of moments. Asymptotic expressions are used to simplify the integrals. Scattered fields are then found by the radiation equations derived from Maxwell equations. The total received fields around different profiles of buildings are calculated as a function of space, elevation angle and frequency. The results agree well with measurements and other published data. Various useful parameters for designing robust and reliable communication systems like frequency response, average fade duration and coherence bandwidth are found. Performance of mobile satellite system is evaluated in terms of bit error rate of mobile satellite system in frequency non-selective, slowly fading channel.

Capacity of Wireless Communication Systems Employing Antenna Arrays,a Tutorial Study

A tutorial study is performed on thecapacity of multiple antenna wireless communication systems.Multiple antenna structures can be classified into single-inputmultiple-outputs (SIMO), multiple-inputs single-output (MISO), andmultiple-inputs multiple-outputs (MIMO) systems. Assuming that thechannel is known at receiver, capacity expressions are providedfor each structure, under the conditions of quasi-static flatfading. Also, information rate limits are provided in each casefor some suboptimal structures or detection techniques that may beused in practice. Using simulations for the case of flat Rayleighfading, capacities of optimal/suboptimal implementations arecontrasted for each multi-antenna structure. Discussions are madeon system design, regarding implementation complexity andpractical limitations on achieving these capacities. Inparticular, the problem of fading correlation and required antennaspacing, effect of fast channel fading, and lack of channelknowledge at receiver are discussed. Providing the results of themost recent researches considering the capacity of multi-antennasystems, as well as some new results, this paper can give a goodperspective for designing appropriate architectures in differentwireless communication applications.
