Efficient multi-user MIMO precoding based on GSVD and vector perturbation

We present an efficient precoding method by using generalized singular value decomposition (GSVD) and vector perturbation in the downlink of multi-user MIMO. Linear precoding/decoding matrices are explicitly computed through the GSVD algorithm, avoiding any matrix inversion or squaring operation. Accordingly, the computational complexity can be drastically reduced compared to the conventional iterative algorithms. In addition, by considering the inter-user interference, we derive a new perturbation vector that minimizes system-wide mean-squared-error of detected symbols. We also show that the proposed precoding scheme is suitable to update the precoding weights efficiently when the channel is newly updated, rather than recomputing the precoding weights for all users from scratch.     

Improved Hybrid Beamforming for mmWave Multi-User Massive MIMO

Massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) has become essential for the increase of capacity as the millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication is considered. Also, hybrid beamforming systems have been studied since full-digital beamforming is impractical due to high cost and power consumption of the radio frequency (RF) chains. This paper proposes a hybrid beamforming scheme to improve the spectral efficiency for multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) systems. In a frequency selective fading environment, hybrid beamforming schemes suffer from performance degradation since the analog precoder performs the same precoding for all subcarriers. To mitigate performance degradation, this paper uses the average channel covariance matrix for all subcarriers and considers an iterative algorithm to design analog precoder using approximation techniques. The analog precoder is iteratively updated for each column until it converges. The proposed scheme can reduce errors in the approximating process of the overall spectral efficiency. This scheme can be applied to fully-connected and partially-connected structures. The simulation results show that spectral efficiency performance for the proposed scheme is better than the conventional schemes. The proposed scheme can achieve similar performance with full-digital beamforming by using a sufficiently large number of RF chains. Also, this paper shows that the proposed scheme outperforms other schemes in the frequency selective fading environment. This performance improvement can be achieved in both structures.     

Leakage-based user scheduling in MU-MIMO broadcast channel

This paper investigates user scheduling in multi-user MIMO broadcast channel. We propose a leakagebased user scheduling scheme, in which a user’s leakage power to other users is an important factor to determine whether the user should be selected. The accuracy of closed-form solution of SLNR (signal to leakage plus noise ratio) makes the proposed scheme outperform the traditional scheduling method based on SINR (signal to interference plus noise ratio). The proposed algorithms can work in case of perfect or limited feedback of CSI (channel state information) at transmitter, and the advantage is verified with numerical results. A tradeoff relation among feedback bits number, active user number and transmit/receive antennas number is analyzed, which serves as a system design guideline.     

Spatial-Doppler domain precoding for orthogonal time frequency space modulation with rake detector

The orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) transmission scheme was shown to outperform orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) under the doubly dispersive channel. In this paper, the linear precoding is studied for multiple-input and multiple-out (MIMO) OTFS systems, in which a spatial-Doppler domain singular value decomposition (SVD) precoding scheme is proposed. At the transmitter, the Doppler domain symbols from different spatial streams are precoded before projected onto multiple antennas for transmission. At the receiver, multipath components of the transmitted symbols in the delay-Doppler grid are combined by using maximal ratio combining (MRC) strategy, so as to achieve the multipath diversity gain and increase the reception reliability. The achievable rate and complexity of the proposed scheme are analyzed, revealing that it can increase the achievable rate while reducing the detector complexity as well. The simulation results confirm that the SVD-based precoding significantly enhances the error performance of the MIMO-OTFS with MRC-based detector.

Enhancing secrecy capacity of multi‐relay wiretap systems with partial channel state information

Distributed precoding has provento be capable of enhancing the secrecy capacity of the multi‐relay wiretap system. An iterative distributed precoding and channel state information (CSI) sharing scheme can be used to reduce the CSI overhead at each relay node. However, in practical applications, the CSI of each relay node cannot be perfectly known to themselves, especially that of the relay‐eavesdropper channels. Thus, partial CSI for the relay‐eavesdropper links is assumed, and the corresponding distributed precoding and CSI sharing schemes are investigated. Under the assumption that the average value of the relay‐eavesdropper channel is known at each relay node, an extended iterative distributed precoding and CSI sharing scheme is proposed. Simulation results demonstrate that with the increase of the power ratio of the constant part to the random part of the relay‐eavesdropper channels, the proposed scheme with partial CSI performs increasingly close to the one with perfect CSI in secrecy capacity.
