On the use of NSGA-II for multi-objective resource allocation in MIMO-OFDMA systems

This paper investigates the problem of dynamic subcarrier and bit allocation in downlink of Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) Systems. Using Singular Value Decomposition, the MIMO fading channel of each subcarrier is transformed into an equivalent bank of parallel Single Input Single Output sub-channels. To achieve the capacity bound, one must solve a multiuser subcarrier allocation and the optimal bit allocation jointly. To alleviate the computational complexity of joint subcarrier and bit allocation, several suboptimal solutions have been proposed. These suboptimal solutions handle subcarrier and bits individually. We propose the use of Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA)-II, which is a multi-objective Genetic Algorithm, for joint allocation of bits and subcarriers, in the downlink of MIMO-OFDMA system. NSGA-II is intended for optimization problems involving multiple conflicting objectives. Here the two conflicting objectives are Rate Maximization and Transmit Power Minimization. The simulation results indicate remarkable improvement in terms of convergence over previous approaches involving Evolutionary algorithms. At the same time capacity achieved by the proposed algorithm is found to be comparable with that of previous algorithms.     

Designing Fast Fourier Transform Accelerators for Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing Systems

Designing accelerators for the real-time computation of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithms for state-of-the-art Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) demodulators has always been challenging. We have scaled-up a template-based Coarse-Grain Reconfigurable Array device for faster FFT processing that generates special purpose accelerators based on the user input. Using a basic and a scaled-up version, we have generated a radix-4 and mixed-radix (2, 4) FFT accelerator to process different length and types of algorithms. Our implementation results show that these accelerators satisfy not only the execution time requirements of FFT processing for Single Input Single Output (SISO) wireless standards that are IEEE-802.11 a/g and 3GPP-LTE but also for Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) IEEE-802.11n standard.     

CFAR Detectors for MIMO Radars

CFAR (Constant False-Alarm Rate) processors are useful for detecting radar targets in a background for which the parameters in the statistical distribution are not known. A variety of CFAR techniques such as CA (Cell Averaging), Go (Greatest Of), SO (Smallest Of), OS (Ordered Statistics) and ACMLD (Automatic Censored Mean-Level Detector) processors have been proposed for SISO (Single Input–Single Output) radars in a non-homogeneous background. In this paper, conventional CFAR algorithms including CA, SO, OS and ACMLD processors are generalized for MIMO (Multiple Input–Multiple Output) radars. The exact expressions for false-alarm probabilities of the proposed algorithms in a homogeneous background are presented. In addition, the detection performance of the proposed detectors is studied by means of simulation in the presence of interfering targets and also colored Gaussian clutter. Besides, the proposed CFAR processors are compared, and it is shown that the ACML-based algorithm is superior to the other investigated methods.

基于门限控制的新型矢量扰动预编码方法

以下行多用户多输入单输出系统为例,分析了在发送端采用矢量扰动预编码时,信道矩阵的条件数大小对算法复杂度及其系统性能的影响。通过蒙特卡洛仿真发现,当信道矩阵的条件数较小时,硬性采用矢量扰动预编码所寻找出来的扰动矢量大多是零矢量,此时不恰当的扰动甚至可能增大信号发送功率,导致不必要的浪费。当信道矩阵的条件数较大时,采用格基约缩的方法可以降低搜索扰动矢量的复杂度。在此基础上,提出了一种基于门限控制的新型矢量扰动预编码方法,该方法相对于传统的完全不考虑信道特性的矢量扰动预编码,可以极小的性能损失换取计算复杂度的显著降低。     

A High Resolution Wide Swath SAR method based on intra-pulse null steering and MIMO

High Resolution Wide Swath （HRWS） Synthetic Aperture Radar （SAR） often suffers from low Signal-to-Noise Ratio （SNR） due to small transmitting antenna, especially in phased array antenna systems. Digital Beam Forming （DBF） based on Single Input and Multiple Output （SIMO） achieves receiving array gain at the cost of increasing data rate. This letter proposes a new HRWS SAR method, which employs intra-pulse null steering to get receiving gain in elevation and decrease the data rate, and Multiple Input and Multiple Output （MIMO） using Space-Time Block Coding （STBC） in azimuth to get transmitting gain and receiving array gain simultaneously. The feasibility is verified by deduction and simulations.     

Universal biquad filters using low-voltage current mirrors

Novel Single Input Multiple Output (SIMO) and Multiple Input Single Output (MISO) current-mode universal biquad topologies are introduced in this paper. The proposed topologies have been realized by employing low-voltage current mirrors as active elements. As a result, an absence of resistors is achieved in the derived filter topologies; also only grounded capacitors are required. The resonant frequency of the filters can be electronically controlled by an appropriate dc current. In addition, the derived filters offer the feature of orthogonal adjustment between the resonant frequency and Q factor. The behavior evaluation of the proposed filters has been performed through a test chip prototype fabricated in AMS 0.35 μm CMOS technology.     

Universal filters of arbitrary order and type employing square-root-domain technique

Novel Single Input Multiple Output (SIMO) and Multiple Input Single Output (MISO) universal filter topologies of arbitrary order and type are introduced in this paper. The proposed topologies have been realised by employing Square-Root Domain (SRD) technique. An offered benefit of the universal filter topologies is that only grounded capacitors are required for their implementations and the resonant frequency of the filters can be electronically controlled by an appropriate dc current. The proposed universal filters simultaneously offer all the five standard filtering functions i.e. Lowpass (LP), Highpass (HP) and Bandpass (BP), Bandstop (BS) and Allpass (AP) frequency responses. In addition, the SIMO topology is generic in the sense that it can yield four different stable filter configurations. Two design examples are provided in each configuration and the correct operation of the corresponding topologies has been evaluated through the PSPICE software with BSIM 0.35-µm CMOS process model parameters.

Reduced Complexity Decoding of Space Time Trellis Codes in the Frequency Selective Channel

An iterative approach is developed for decoding Space Time Trellis Codes (STTCs) in frequency selective Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) channels. The method uses the Partitioned Viterbi Algorithm (PVA) as an equaliser for the MIMO system. It is used iteratively with a STTC decoder that provides soft outputs using the Soft Output Viterbi Algorithm (SOVA). It is shown through simulation that the iterative procedure achieves a performance within 2.0dB of Maximum Likelihood (ML) decoding, at a FER of 10^?2, but suffers a small diversity loss. It is also shown that the complexity of the iterative approach is lower than that of ML decoding.

Trellis precoding for MIMO broadcast signaling

Channel Inversion, and its Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) variation, are low complexity methods for Space Division Multiple Access (SDMA) in Multiple Input Multiple Output Broadcast Channel (MIMO-BC). As the channel matrix deviates from orthogonal, these methods result in a waste of transmit power. This paper proposes a trellis precoding method (across time and space) to improve the power efficiency. Adopting a 4-state trellis shaping method from [1], the complexity of the proposed method, which is entirely at the transmitter side, is equivalent to the search in a trellis with 4N states where N is the number of transmit antennas. Numerical results are presented showing that the achievable gains, which depend on the channel realization, can be significantly higher than the traditional shaping gain which is limited to 1.53dB.     

Iterative multipacket detection for high throughput transmissions in OFDM systems

This paper presents a multipacket detection technique for dealing with packet collisions in OFDM schemes (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing). Instead of discarding collided packets as it is done in traditional MAC approaches (Medium Access Control) additional packets are transmitted and separated using Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) based techniques. Reliable detection and high throughputs can be achieved as long as different interleavers are used for different retransmissions. We also include a method for estimating the users involved in the collision.
