带有广义反馈的多址接入中继信道的可达速率区域的研究

多址接入中继信道是含有多个接入节点、1个中继节点和1个目的接收节点的无线多用户信道,同时考虑接入节点之间能够接收彼此含噪的广义反馈信息,此种模型存在于接入节点之间协作通信能力较差的多跳无线网络和无线传感器网络。论文给出了带有此种广义反馈的离散无记忆多址接入中继信道的可达速率区域,并将这一结果推广到高斯信道。提出一个新的编码方案,主要基于速率划分和译码前传策略,并通过采用分组Markov叠加编码建立各接入源节点之间以及源节点和中继节点之间的协作通信,在可达性证明中还采用规则编码和反向译码策略。结果表明,在离散无记忆信道环境下可达速率区域相比较以往结果更具一般性,在高斯信道环境下可达速率区域被扩展。

Joint Source/Relay Precoder Design in Nonregenerative Cooperative Systems Using an MMSE Criterion

This paper considers transmitter precoding in an amplify-and-forward cooperative system where multiple antennas are equipped at the source, the relay, and the destination. Existing methods for the problem only consider the design of the relay precoder. To further improve the performance, we include the source precoder into the design. Using a minimum-meansquare- error (MMSE) criterion, we propose a joint source/relay precoder design method, taking both the direct and relay links into account. It is shown that the MMSE is a highly nonlinear function of the precoding matrices, and a direct minimization is not feasible. To facilitate analysis, we propose to design the precoders toward first diagonalizing the MSE matrix of the relay link. This imposes certain structural constraints on both precoders that allow us to derive an analytically tractable MSE upper bound. By conducting minimization with respect to this bound, the solution can be obtained by an iterative water-filling technique.     

MIMO-AF协作中继网络中发送预编码器的优化

本文首先利用中继节点和目标节点在第一时隙中的接收信噪比之和最大准则,推导出优化问题并解得优化的预编码器矢量。然后又利用目标节点最大比合并后的接收信号信噪比最大准则,推导出性能更佳的预编码器优化问题,但由于表达式复杂不能得到闭式解。为此本文提出了两种次优解决方法,分别是梯度下降迭代法和近似求解法。仿真结果表明,提出的两种准则优化预编码器方法都能有效改进系统性能,且因后者更能直接反映接收端情况,效果更好。两种次优的解优化方法能够获得几乎相同的系统性能,但梯度下降法采用迭代运算,计算量比较大,而近似求解法在性能不损失的情况下大大降低了计算复杂度。      

Low complexity LMMSE turbo equalization for combined error control coded and linearly precoded OFDM

The turbo equalization approach is studied for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing （OFDM） system with combined error control coding and linear precoding. While previous literatures employed linear precodcr of small size for complexity reasons, this paper proposes to use a linear precoder of size larger than or equal to the maximum length of the equivalent discrete-time channel in order to achieve full frequency diversity and reduce complexities of the error control coder/decoder. Also a low complexity Linear Minimum Mean Square Error （LMMSE） turbo equalizer is derived for the receiver. Through simulation and performance analysis, it is shown that the performance of the proposed scheme over frequency selective fading channel reaches the matched filter bound; compared with the same coded OFDM without linear precoding, the proposed scheme shows an Signal-to-Noise Ratio （SNR） improvement of at least 6dB at a bit error rate of 10 6 over a multipath channel with exponential power delay profile. Convergence behavior of the proposed scheme with turbo equalization using various type of linear precoder/transformer, various interleaver size and error control coder of various constraint length is also investigated.     

Precoder Design for Non-Regenerative MIMO Relay Systems

This paper studies the precoder design for a 3-node non-generative MIMO relay channel, taking the direct link transmission into consideration. We first look into the scenario where precoding is only performed at the relay. Our analytical approach enables a relay precoding design to achieve better ergodic capacity than the precoding design to achieve a lower bound of the capacity reported in earlier works. We next propose an iterative algorithm to perform joint precoding design at both the source and the relay. To reduce the computation complexity of the iterative algorithm, a two-step algorithm is then developed. Our numerical results show that under some circumstances, capacity gain can be achieved by performing precoding at both the source and the relay compared to the case where precoding is performed at the relay only. The efficiency of the proposed two-step algorithm is verified since it achieves roughly identical capacity as the iterative joint precoding scheme.     

Distributed spatial–temporal precoding with limited feedback in MIMO multi‐relay systems

Precoding techniques can be introduced into multi‐relay systems due to the similarity between cooperative communication systems and traditional multi‐input–multi‐output (MIMO) systems. In this paper, a channel state information (CSI) feedback scheme based on the zero‐forcing (ZF) relaying protocol is proposed at first, where the information of relaying channel and noise related to each relay node can be compressed into two positive real parameters. Then, based on the proposed feedback scheme, the singular‐vector‐based local temporal precoder is presented at the source node through two continuous transmitted vectors, which is termed as distributed spatial–temporal precoding (DSTP). Moreover, various spatial data rates can be conveniently supported by DSTP. Based on the analysis on DSTP, it is better that the number of data streams is not larger than the number of antennas equipped at the source node. The unitary DSTP with the proposed feedback scheme outperforms not only the close‐loop direct transmission but also the simple ZF relaying method. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Interpolation Based Unitary Precoding for Spatial Multiplexing MIMO-OFDM With Limited Feedback

Spatial multiplexing with linear precoding is a simple technique for achieving high spectral efficiency in multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems. Linear precoding requires channel state information for each OFDM subcarrier, which can be achieved using feedback. To reduce the amount of feedback, this paper proposes a limited feedback architecture that combines precoder quantization with a special matrix interpolator. In the proposed system, the receiver sends information about a fraction of the precoding matrices to the transmitter and the transmitter reconstructs the precoding matrices for all the subcarriers. A new interpolator is proposed inspired by spherical interpolation that respects the orthogonal columns of the precoding matrices and the performance invariance to right multiplication by a unitary matrix. The interpolator is parameterized by a set of unitary matrices; a construction of a suitable set is briefly described. Simulations illustrate the performance of limited feedback precoding with coding, estimation or prediction error, and time variation for bit error rate (BER), mutual information, and mean squared error (MSE)     

Linear block precoding for OFDM systems based on maximization of mean cutoff rate

A new linear block precoding technique is proposed to improve the performance of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communication systems. The design of our precoder is based on the maximization of the mean cutoff rate and requires only the knowledge of the average relative channel multipath powers and delays at the transmitter. Simulation results show an improved performance of the proposed precoder relative to other known linear block precoding techniques.     

Distributed polar-coded OFDM based on Plotkin’s construction for half duplex wireless communication

A Plotkin-based polar-coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (P-PC-OFDM) scheme is proposed and its bit error rate (BER) performance over additive white gaussian noise (AWGN), frequency selective Rayleigh, Rician and Nakagami-m fading channels has been evaluated. The considered Plotkin’s construction possesses a parallel split in its structure, which motivated us to extend the proposed P-PC-OFDM scheme in a coded cooperative scenario. As the relay’s effective collaboration has always been pivotal in the design of cooperative communication therefore, an efficient selection criterion for choosing the information bits has been inculcated at the relay node. To assess the BER performance of the proposed cooperative scheme, we have also upgraded conventional polar-coded cooperative scheme in the context of OFDM as an appropriate bench marker. The Monte Carlo simulated results revealed that the proposed Plotkin-based polar-coded cooperative OFDM scheme convincingly outperforms the conventional polar-coded cooperative OFDM scheme by 0.5 ~ 0.6 dBs over AWGN channel. This prominent gain in BER performance is made possible due to the bit-selection criteria and the joint successive cancellation decoding adopted at the relay and the destination nodes, respectively. Furthermore, the proposed coded cooperative schemes outperform their corresponding non-cooperative schemes by a gain of 1 dB under an identical condition.     

Modulated Coded OFDM Systems with Special Precoder

Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) has been considered as a strong candidate for next-generation wireless communication systems to achieve high rate data transmission in a mobile environment. However, the performance of OFDM systems may be degraded when inter-symbol interference (ISI) channels have spectral nulls, and the data rate overhead due to the insertion of cyclic prefix is high when ISI channels have many taps. Recently, the precoded OFDM systems and vector OFDM (VOFDM) systems were proposed to combat these two problems, respectively. We propose a novel modulated coded OFDM system with special precoder that is robust to spectral nulls and with reduced cyclic prefix length. The precoder can be easily formulated by channel coding and digital modulation. This precoding scheme uses the redundancy information introduced by channel coding (such as zeros inserted in precoded OFDM system). It is able to remove the spectral nulls of an ISI channel without knowing the ISI. Simulation results show that our proposed OFDM system performance is better than precoded OFDM and VOFDM system.     

Linear precoding assisted blind channel estimation for OFDM systems

We propose a novel precoding approach for single transmit/receiver antenna orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems that enables blind channel estimation. A nonredundant nonunitary linear precoder is applied on each pair of blocks before they enter the OFDM system. The structure induced to the transmitted blocks allows for blind channel estimation at the receiver based on simple cross-correlation operations. At the same time, the multipath diversity of the system is increased. An optimal precoding scheme is pursued that, for quadrature phase-shift keying signals results in minimum channel error and asymptotically minimum bit error rate. Analytic performance evaluation of the proposed approach, and Cramer-Rao bound for the proposed channel estimate, are presented.
