基于MSMSE的MIMO放大转发双向中继信道中波束成形设计

本文主要研究了基于最小化均方误差和准则的MIMO放大转发双向中继信道中的波束成形向量(矩阵)的设计.我们分别在集中式与分布式两种应用环境中提出了一套解决方案.在集中式方案中,多个中继之间完全协作,因此将多个单天线中继等效成一个多天线的中继节点,设计了基于所有中继天线的总功率控制的波束成形向量(矩阵).在分布式方案中,中继节点之间无协作,分别设计了基于所有中继总功率控制波束成形向量(矩阵)和基于单个中继功率控制的波束成形向量(矩阵).仿真表明,通过波束成形设计,可以显著提高通信节点平均误码率.由于中继节点之间的完全协作,集中式方案要优于分布式方案.但是,由于中继结构简单,分布式方案更易于在实践中应用.

非对称信道下双向中继网络中最大化和速率的波束成形设计

双向中继网络的波束成形设计大都基于对称信道的假设。该文考虑非对称信道的情况,通过合理设计波束成形因子,使得系统在中继总功率约束下,其和速率最大化。为解决此非凸的最优化问题,首先提出了一种基于分支定界(branch-and-bound)思想的优化算法,并证明了该算法可获得全局最优解。然后提出了一种次优算法,该算法假设次优解为两个已知向量的线性组合,因而求解次优解只需优化两个实数系数,具有较低的复杂度。仿真表明,分支定界算法性能优于现有其他算法;次优算法相对于分支定界算法有一定的性能损失,但是在节点数较小或中继节点平均功率较低时,次优算法优于其他现有算法。

针对放大转发的瑞利双向中继信道的节点选择问题,提出了基于部分信道信息的分布式双向中继选择算法。算法通过计算双向链路的接收信噪比,推导出满足目标接收信噪比的转发阈值,各中继节点根据该阈值决定是否参与转发,从而实现分布式选择。此外,考虑用户总功率受限的情况,在分布式中继选择基础上提出了优化功率分配策略,使双向信道的接收信噪比更加接近。仿真结果表明,分布式中继选择算法与最优多中继算法的系统传输速率相似,计算复杂度大大降低,尤其是在中继数目增大的情况下更加明显。优化功率分配策略能进一步提高系统能量效率,在相同性能下可节省7%左右的功率。

分布式双向AF中继网络的线性联合多天线收发信机设计

Linear transceiver designs are investigated for distributed two-way relaying networks, which aim at minimising the Weighted Mean Square Error (WMSE) of data detections. The forwarding matrices at relays and equalization matrices at destinations are joi-ntly optimised. To overcome the challenging limitations introduced by individual power constraints, a Semi-Definite Relaxation (SDR) called element-wise relaxation is proposed, which can transform the original optimization problem into a standard convex optimization problem. In this research, two-way relaying is understood from a pure signal processing per-spective which can potentially simplify the theoretical analysis. Finally, simulation results are used for assessing the performance ad-vantage of the proposed algorithm.     

Power Allocation for Amplify-and-Forward Relaying with Correlated Shadowing

Power allocation is a key technique to exploit the benefits of cooperative relaying. In this paper, we investigate the effect of shadowing on the power allocation of amplify-and-forward cooperative relaying systems. Considering the joint effects of path loss, correlated shadowing and flat Rayleigh fading, the approximate outage probability at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is first derived. Then we solve the power allocation problem by minimizing the approximate outage probability subject to a total power constraint. It is shown by the analytical results that the correlation coefficients and the standard deviations of shadowing have significant impacts on the power allocation. The simulation results show that the proposed power allocation scheme yields about 2 dB SNR gain compared to the equal power allocation in the high SNR regime.     

Jointing Adaptive Modulation Relay Selection Protocols for Two-Way Opportunistic Relaying Systems with Amplify-and-Forward Policy

Two novel best-relay selection protocols, the jointing adaptive modulation max–min (AM-MM) protocol and the jointing adaptive modulation maximum harmonic mean (AM-MHM) protocol, are proposed for two-way opportunistic relaying systems with amplify-and-forward policy (TWOR-AF). By integrating the adaptive modulation with the conventional max–min (NonAM-MM) and maximum harmonic mean protocols, the effect of the modulation schemes used at both sources is exploited perfectly in the proposed AM-MM and AM-MHM protocols. The analytical expressions to the approximate upper bounds of overall average symbol error probability (SEP) for TWOR-AF systems with these different relay selection protocols are obtained through theoretic analysis. The numerical results demonstrate that the average SEP of TWOR-AF systems can be improved greatly when the proposed jointing adaptive modulation relay selection protocols are performed. Furthermore, in certain channel realizations, the adaptive modulation non-selection protocol outperforms the conventional NonAM-MM protocol in which the adaptive modulation is not integrated.

Opportunistic Relaying for MIMO Amplify-and-Forward Cooperative Networks

We consider a wireless relay network with multiple antenna terminals over Rayleigh fading channels, and apply distributed space-time coding (DSTC) in amplify-and-forward (A&F) mode. The A&F scheme is used in a way that each relay transmits a scaled version of the linear combination of the received symbols. It turns out that, combined with power allocation in the relays, A&F DSTC results in an opportunistic relaying scheme, in which only the best relay is selected to retransmit the source’s space-time coded signal. Furthermore, assuming the knowledge of source-relay CSI at the source node, we design an efficient power allocation which outperforms uniform power allocation across the source antennas. Next, assuming M-PSK or M-QAM modulations, we analyze the performance of the proposed cooperative diversity transmission schemes in a wireless relay networks with the multiple-antenna source and destination. We derive the probability density function (PDF) of the received SNR at the destination. Then, the PDF is used to determine the symbol error rate (SER) in Rayleigh fading channels. We derived closed-form approximations of the average SER in the high SNR scenario, from which we find the diversity order of system R min{N _s , N _d }, where R, N _s , and N _d are the number of the relays, source antennas, and destination antennas, respectively. Simulation results show that the proposed system obtain more than 6 dB gain in SNR over A&F MIMO DSTC for BER 10^?4, when R = 2, N _s  = 2, and N _d  = 1.     

Robust Tomlinson-Harashima Precoding for Two-Way Relaying

Most of the non-linear transceivers, which are based on Tomlinson-Harashima (TH) precoding and have been proposed in the literature for two-way relay systems, assume perfect channel state information (CSI). In this paper, a novel and robust TH precoding scheme has been investigated for two-way relay systems, with multiple antennas at the transceiver and relay nodes. We assume imperfect CSI and the channel uncertainty is bounded by a spherical region. The minimum mean square error at the destinations is used as the design criterion and we develop an iterative method to solve this nonconvex problem to obtain TH precoding matrices at the transmitter, linear precoding matrix at the relay and linear equalizer at the destination nodes, where each subproblem is convex. Simulations are provided to evaluate the performance and to validate the efficiency of the proposed scheme.

     

Cooperative Subcarrier Allocation and Power Allocation in the Downlink of an Amplify-and-Forward OFDM Relaying System

The increasing use of relays in wireless communication systems is a driving force to explore innovative techniques that can improve the quality of service as well as enhance the coverage in wireless systems. In this article, we propose a two-step approach for subcarrier allocation and power allocation in the downlink of an OFDM-based amplify-and forward relaying system. In the first step, the total power is allocated to mobile users and relays based on the optimum power ratio derived for the single-relay system. In the second step, subcarriers are assigned to the users based on cooperative subcarrier allocation algorithms. Compared to the non-cooperative algorithm with flat power allocation, the total throughput is shown to improve by applying the two-step cooperative subcarrier allocation and power allocation algorithms.
