Pilot design for sparse MIMO-OFDM channel estimation with generalized shift invariance property

Compressed sensing (CS) based channel estimation is greatly bound by the measurement matrix according to CS theory. We design pilot patterns by minimizing the mutual coherence of the measurement matrix with the generalized shift invariance property (GSIP). GSIP and a corollary are firstly proposed. Then two pilot pattern design schemes termed pilot design with GSIP (PDGSIP) and tradeoff pilot design with GSIP (TPDGSIP) are put forward to design orthogonal pilot patterns based on GSIP for a multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system. In PDGSIP, a collection of pilot patterns are firstly obtained and then pilot patterns having large mutual coherence are replaced with new ones generated with optimal pilot patterns. TPDGSIP directly produces new pilot patterns based on GSIP to fully exploit the pilot distance of the obtained pilot pattern as soon as one pilot pattern is obtained. Simulation results have shown that, the proposed pilot pattern design schemes are able to obtain the best pilot patterns in comparison to existing methods from the perspective of mutual coherence. Channel estimation performance using pilot patterns designed by proposed schemes precedes that using pilot patterns designed by existing schemes in terms of normalized mean square error and bit error rate.

SFBC MIMO-OFDM系统中基于循环移位和盲检测的低复杂度SLM算法

为了降低空频分组编码的多输入多输出正交频分复用(Space Frequency Block Coding Multiple Input Multiple Output Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,SFBC MIMO-OFDM)系统中传统选择性映射(Selected Mapping,SLM)算法的计算复杂度,本文提出了结合时域信号的循环移位和等效SFBC编码来产生更多具有不同峰均功率比(Peak to Average Power Ratio,PAPR)的备选序列的方法.接收端通过比较反向旋转序列与最近星座点的距离来恢复出循环移位因子和相位旋转因子,从而实现接收信号的盲检测.仿真结果表明,本文提出方法能有效地抑制SFBC MIMO-OFDM系统的PAPR.另外,本文提出方法明显降低了传统SLM算法的计算复杂度,而且可以获得与传统SLM算法在已知边带副信息情况下相似的比特误码率(Bit Error Rate,BER)性能.

A Low-BER Clipping Scheme for PAPR Reduction in STBC MIMO-OFDM Systems

Clipping is a simple scheme to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Further, it can be extended to space-time block coding (STBC) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) OFDM systems for the PAPR reduction. In the conventional clipping schemes for STBC MIMO-OFDM systems, the input symbols are first encoded and then clipped. In this paper, a new scheme is proposed, where the clipping operation is performed before space-time block coding. We theoretically prove that the proposed scheme has better bit-error rate (BER) performance while maintaining the same PAPR reduction as the conventional schemes. Additionally, we derive the symbol-error rate (SER) and BER expressions for the new scheme over multipath fading channels. The simulation results show a good match with our analysis.

Channel estimation with ISFLA based pilot pattern optimization for MIMO OFDM system

In multiple input multiple output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems, the channel state information should be known by the receiver for obtaining transmitted data. Channel estimation algorithms are used to examine the multipath effects of frequency selective Rayleigh fading channels. In this paper, Compressed Sensing (CS) based channel estimation technique is considered for reconstructing the signal with improved spectral efficiency. It requires transmitting the known pilot data to the receiver for estimating channel information. The optimum pilot patterns are selected through reducing the mutual coherence of measurement matrix. In order to maximize the accuracy of sparse channel estimation and to reduce the computational complexity, an optimization algorithm Improved Shuffled Frog Leaping (ISFL) is proposed. When compared with the traditional estimation methods like least squares (LS), and minimal mean square error (MMSE), 4.7% of spectral efficiency is increased with ISFLA based channel estimation. Implementation results show that, by using the proposed algorithm, the bit error rate (BER) and Mean Square Error (MER) performance of the system is increased with 1.5 dB and 2 dB respectively.     

Quality of Service Aware Inter Carrier Interference Mitigation and Antenna Selection Schemes for Beyond 4G Systems

Future broadband wireless communication systems demand high quality of service (QoS) for anytime anywhere multimedia applications. The standards which use orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) coupled with multi input multi output (MIMO) are expected to rule the future wireless world. Time selective nature of the channel introduces inter carrier interference (ICI), which is the major performance limiting parameter in OFDM based systems. ICI causes loss in spectral efficiency and results in poor bit error rate (BER) performance, affecting the QoS of MIMO-OFDM systems. The conventional single input single output (SISO)-OFDM-flexible subcarrier spacing (FSS) system offers better performance than the fixed subcarrier spacing systems in terms of ICI mitigation. But BER and spectral efficiency performance of SISO-OFDM-FSS is not good enough to satisfy the requirements of future wireless broadband services. To improve the BER performance, SISO-OFDM system is replaced by space frequency block coded (SFBC)-OFDM system, which adds spatial and frequency diversity benefits to the conventional system. More number of antennas in the MIMO scheme increases the hardware cost, computational complexity and percentage of overhead. In the present study, to improve the spectral efficiency and to reduce the complexity and cost, optimal transmit antenna selection (OTAS) is combined with the SFBC-OFDM-FSS scheme. The simulation results prove that the proposed SFBC-OFDM-FSS-OTAS scheme offers better QoS than the conventional SISO-OFDM-FSS scheme.

Linear MMSE estimation of time-frequency variant channels for MIMO-OFDM systems

This paper proposes two low-complexity two-dimensional channel estimators for MIMO-OFDM systems derived from a joint time-frequency channel estimator. The estimators exploit both time and frequency correlations of the wireless channel via use of Slepian-basis expansions. The computational saving comes from replacing a two-dimensional Slepian-basis expansion with two serially concatenated one-dimensional Slepian-basis expansions. Performance in terms of normalized mean square error (NMSE) vs. signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is analyzed via numerical simulations and compared with the original estimator. The analysis of the performance takes into account the impact of both system and channel parameters. The estimators are finally tested when used within the loop of an iterative receiver for MIMO-OFDM systems.

Performance analysis of hybrid transmit antenna selection/maximal‐ratio transmission in Nakagami‐m fading channels

Hybrid diversity systems have been of great importance because they provide better diversity orders and robustness to the fading effects of wireless communication systems. This paper focuses on the performance analysis of multiple‐input gle‐output systems that employ combined transmit antenna selection (TAS)/maximal‐ratio transmission (MRT) techniques (i.e., hybrid TAS/MRT). The probability density function, the moment generating function and the n ^th order moments of the output signal‐to‐noise ratio of the investigated diversity scheme are derived for independent identically distributed flat Nakagami‐m fading channels. The system capacity of the hybrid TAS/MRT scheme is examined from the outage probability perspective. Exact bit/symbol error rate (BER/SER) expressions for binary frequency shift keying, M‐ary phase shift keying and square M‐ary quadrature amplitude modulation signals are derived by using the moment generating function‐based analysis method. By deriving the upper bounds for BER/SER expressions, it is also shown that the investigated systems achieve full diversity orders at high signal‐to‐noise ratios. Also, by Monte Carlo simulations, analytical performance results are validated and the effect of feedback delay, channel estimation error and feedback quantization error on BER/SER performances are examined.
