High SNR sum capacity analysis of BD MIMO BC systems with imperfect CSI

We investigate the sum capacity of Block Diagonalization precoding Multiple Input Multiple Output Broadcast Channels (BD MIMO BC) with imperfect Channel State Information (CSI) at the base station. Since it is difficult to obtain the exact expression, a lower and an upper bounds of the sum capacity under Gaussian channel estimation errors are drived instead. Analyses show that the gap between two bounds is considerably tight at all Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) region. From the lower bound of the sum capacity, we can see that the multiplexing gain tends to be zero at high SNR region, which indicates that the BD MIMO BC system with channel estimation errors is interference-limited at high SNR.

The theoretical BER performance analysis of a cooperative diversity scheme in frequency selective fading channel

A novel cooperative diversity scheme based on Distributed Space-Time Block Coding and Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access (DSTBC-MC-CDMA) is proposed which works well in frequency selective fading channels with multiple single-antenna users. And an analytical error model is established to describe the symbol decoding errors between interusers, based on which a close form expression for theoretical Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of the scheme is derived to analyze the influence of the interuser decoding errors on the BER performance of the scheme. Then simulation is complimented to verify the analytic result above, which also shows that the BER performance of DSTBC-MC-CDMA outgoes that of non-cooperative MC-CDMA with considerable gains. Further- more, the simulations coincide with the theoretical results well.     

The performance of MT-CDMA system in the presence of carrier frequency offset

In this letter, the sensitivity of an uplink Multi-Tone Code-Division Multiple Access （MT-CDMA） system to the Carrier Frequency Offset （CFO） is investigated. The analytical expression for the Bit Error Rate （BER） of uplink MT-CDMA in the presence of CFO is derived in a multipath Rayleigh fading channel which is verified through simulations. Both Maximal Ratio Combining （MRC） and Equal Gain Combining （EGC） are considered in combining multipath signals in the analysis. It is found that the BER performance can be improved with the number of multipath increasing in the presence of CFO.     

上行多用户MIMO中继系统中基于不完全信道状态信息的预编码算法

论文研究了存在信道估计误差及天线相关条件下,上行多用户MIMO中继系统的预编码问题,目标是提升系统的误比特率性能。针对基于放大转发中继技术的上行多用户MIMO中继系统,考虑源-中继和中继-目的端信道中存在的信道估计误差及天线相关,提出一种基于不完全信道状态信息(Channel State Information, CSI)的预编码设计方案。首先根据最小均方误差(Minimum Mean-Squared Error, MMSE)准则设计代价函数,以发射端和中继端最大功率为约束条件,通过理论推导求得中继端和发射端的线性预编码矩阵,最后采用迭代下降法得到接收端处理矩阵的闭式解。数值仿真结果表明,在存在信道估计误差和天线相关的条件下,与现有算法相比,所提算法能有效降低系统的误比特率。

Channel estimation with circularly slipping window in MIMO-OFDM systems

Channel estimation is very important for MIMO （Multiple Input Multiple Output） OFDM （Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing） systems, but its precision is reduced due to the noise in channel. In this letter, circularly slipping window is introduced to resist the noise. It can be proved by simulation that with the same channel model, optimal slipping window length is the same with different vehicle speed. MSE （Minimum Square Error） of channel is greatly reduced with circularly slipping window, and performance of the system is closed to that with correct channel estimation.     

Iterative receiver for OFDM systems based on semi-blind channel estimation

In this paper we propose two iterative algorithms of joint channel estimation and symbol detection for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing （OFDM） systems. In which, superimposed pilot scheme is adopted and an initial Channel State Information （CSI） is obtained by employing a first-order statistic. In each subsequent iteration, we propose two algorithms to update the CSI. The Mean Square Error （MSE） of channel estimation and Bit Error Rate （BER） performance are given and simulation results demonstrate that the iterative algorithm using method B has good performance approaching the ideal condition.     

A comparison of two 2D channel estimators for OFDM system

The paper deals with two-dimensional （2D） channel estimation of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing （OFDM） system ill slow fading wireless channel. We concentrate on two channel estimation schemes： Least Square （LS）＋Weighted BiLinear （WBL） and LS＋Linear Minimum Mean-Squared Error （LMMSE） where the first method is proposed in this paper. After theory analysis and simulation in Typical Urban （TU） channel, we find that LS＋LMMSE achieves the optimal perform- anee by exploiting prior knowledge of channel whereas LS＋WBL, without requiring channel knowl- edge and with only half of the computational amount of LS＋LMMSE, approaches LS＋LMMSE in Bit Error Ratio （BER） performance when the distance of two adjoining pilot symbols along frequency direction is sufficiently small. This makes LS＋WBL very suitable for wideband wireless applications.     

基于加权的错误估计码的误比特信息的应用研究

Error Estimating Code (EEC) is a new channel coding method to estimate the Bit Error Rate (BER) information of the transmitted sequence. However, the estimated BER is not precise enough if the practical value of BER is high. A weighted EEC estimation method is proposed to improve the accuracy performance of BER estimation by classifying the raw estimation results into intervals and multiplying them by different coefficients separately. The applications of weighted EEC in modulation selection scheme and distributed video coding are discussed. Simulation results show that the EEC-based modulation selection method can achieve better performance at a cost of little redundancy and computation, and the EEC-based rate estimation method in distributed video coding can save the decoding time.

A Bayesian maximum-likelihood sequence estimation algorithm for apriori unknown channels and symbol timing

It is shown that the optimum demodulator for the case of an a priori unknown channel and symbol timing can be approximated using a modified Viterbi algorithm (VA), in which the branch metrics are obtained from the conditional innovations of a bank of extended Kalman filters (EKFs). Each EKF computes channel and timing estimates conditioned on one of the survivor sequences in the trellis. It is also shown that the minimum-variance channel and timing estimates can be approximated by a sum of conditional EKF estimates, weighted by the VA metrics. Simulated bit error rate (BER) results and averaged-squared channel/timing error trajectories are presented, with estimation errors compared to the Cramer-Rao lower bound. The BER performance of the modified VA is also shown to be superior to that obtained using a decision-directed channel/timing estimation algorithm     

Robust optimization of transmit/receive beamformer for MIMO downlink with imperfect CSI at base station

A robust scheme is proposed to jointly optimize transmit/receive beamformers for Multiple Input Multiple Output （MIMO） downlinks where the available Channel State Information （CSI） at Base Station （BS） （CSIBS） is imperfect. The criterion is to minimize the sum Mean Square Error （sum-MSE） over all users under a constraint on the total transmit power, which is a non-convex and non-linear problem. Observing from the first order optimization condition that the optimal transmit/receive beamformers are mutually dependent, the transmit/receive beamformers for each user are updated iteratively until the sum-MSE is minimized. Simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme can effectively mitigate the system performance loss induced by imperfect CSIBS.
