A bandwidth latency tradeoff for broadcast and reduction

The “fractional tree” algorithm for broadcasting and reduction is introduced. Its communication pattern interpolates between two well known patterns—sequential pipeline and pipelined binary tree. The speedup over the best of these simple methods can approach two for large systems and messages of intermediate size. For networks which are not very densely connected the new algorithm seems to be the best known method for the important case that each processor has only a single (possibly bidirectional) channel into the communication network.

Mitigation of the inter-node interference in multi-antenna full-duplex networks

When multiple single-antenna half-duplex (HD) nodes communicate with a full-duplex (FD) base station equipped with multiple transmit and receive antennas, the uplink nodes would generate inter-node interference (INI) on the downlink nodes. We propose a base station assisted INI suppression scheme. The scheme is to design a proper amplify-and-forward matrix at the base station so that the sum achievable rate of the uplink and downlink is maximized. We derive the close-form expression of the amplify-and-forward matrix, which is the product of a parameter optimization and a zero-forcing beamforming (ZFBF) matrices. Finally, we investigate the performance of the proposed INI suppression scheme in a single cell.     

Full-duplex fiber-wireless link with 40 Gbit/s 16-QAM signals for alternative wired and wireless accesses based on homodyne/heterodyne coherent detection

A novel full-duplex fiber-wireless link with 40 Gbit/s 16-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signals is proposed to provide alternative wired and wireless accesses for the user terminals. In the central station (CS), the downstream signal for wired and wireless accesses is beared onto the CW laser source via an optical I/Q modulator to realize the QAM modulation. At the hybrid optical network unit (HONU), a tunable laser is used to provide coherent optical local oscillator for homo-/heterodyne beating to coherently down-convert the baseband optical signal to the baseband electrical one for wired access or to the mm-wave one for wireless access according to the requirement of the user terminals. Simultaneously, the lightwave from the tunable laser is also used as the uplink optical carrier for either wired or wireless access, and is modulated colorlessly by the baseband or mm-wave signal of the uplink alternatively. After filtering, only one tone carrying the uplink signal is transmitted back to the CS even for the wireless access. The theoretical analysis and simulation results show that our proposed full-duplex link for the alternative wired and wireless accesses maintains good performance even when the transmission link with standard single mode fiber (SSMF) is extended to 30 km.

Current-mode full-duplex (CMFD) signaling for high-speed chip-to-chip interconnect

In this work we propose a new current-mode full-duplex (CMFD) signaling scheme for high-speed chip-to-chip data communication. In this scheme, all the internal nodes of the link are maintained at low-impedance, facilitating high-speed data communication. A new hybrid circuit topology required for separating the inbound signal from the outbound signal is presented. The proposed current-mode hybrid is realized by a source-coupled main driver, a scaled down replica stage and a common-gate (CG) transimpedance amplifier (TIA). Detailed design, analysis, noise and jitter characterization of the proposed hybrid is presented. The hybrid is realized in 1.8 V, digital CMOS technology. Using this hybrid circuit topology, CMFD signaling over a chip-to-chip interconnect is demonstrated. The post-layout performance shows 8 Gb/s data transfer rate over a FR4 PCB trace of length 7.5 in. for a target bit-error rate (BER) of 10⁻¹². The FR4 PCB trace is modeled by measured 4-port S-parameters in the frequency range from 100 MHz to 20 GHz. The input-referred noise current of the receiver and output-noise voltage of transmitter are and 5.34 mV, respectively. The standalone power consumption of the hybrid is 14.64 mW.     

ADC量化对同频全双工数字自干扰消除的误码率性能分析

同频全双工由于在同时工作的收发通道上使用相同的频率资源,因此本地接收机需要进行自干扰消除。数字域干扰消除方法在模数转换器(ADC)器件采样后进行,ADC位数、干信比、量化判决准则直接影响干扰消除效果和系统误码性能。该文分析了ADC位数、干信比、QAM调制误码性能三者的内在关系;推导了误码率的闭合表达式;仿真验证了数学推导的正确性和有效性。仿真结果表明,随着干信比的减小和ADC位数的增加,误码率性能呈宏观改善趋势,但从特定的微观片段来看,会出现性能波动,甚至会接近无量化误差的误码率性能。     

Outage analysis of TAS/MRC in dual hop full-duplex MIMO relay networks with co-channel interferences

In this paper, we investigate the outage performance of transmit antenna selection (TAS) and maximal-ratio combining (MRC) in dual hop full-duplex (FD) amplify-and-forward (AF) relay network over Rayleigh fading channels. In the analysis, Rayleigh faded multiple co-channel interferers (CCIs) are also taken into account at the relay. In the network, source and destination are equipped with multiple antennas, and relay is equipped with one receive and one transmit antennas, respectively and source-destination link is not available. While the TAS is applied at the source without considering residual self-interference (RSI) effect, received signals at the destination are combined based on the MRC technique. For the analysis, we consider three approaches at the relay. In the first, we consider the received signal at the relay is corrupted by faded RSI and noise, in the second one, the RSI is considered as non-fading. In the last one, the noise is neglected. In all cases, the relay suffers from multiple Rayleigh faded CCIs. Outage probability (OP) expression related to all the cases is derived and obtained in single integral forms in case of the faded/non-fading RSI and in closed form in case of the noise neglected approach. Moreover, we also find asymptotic OPs and conduct effective diversity order analysis. The analytical results are verified by the Monte Carlo simulations. Results show that TAS decreases error floor at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region and MRC provides diversity gain at low SNR region. In addition, approaches II and III are good approximations to approach I at low and high SNR regions, respectively.     

Joint Spectrum Partition and Performance Analysis of Full-Duplex D2D Communications in Multi-Tier Wireless Networks

Full-duplex (FD) has been recognized as a promising technology for future 5G networks to improve the spectrum efficiency. However, the biggest practical impediments of realizing full-duplex communications are the presence of self-interference, especially in complex cellular networks. With the current development of self-interference cancellation techniques, full-duplex has been considered to be more suitable for device-to-device (D2D) and small cell communications which have small transmission range and low transmit power. In this paper, we consider the full-duplex D2D communications in multi-tier wireless networks and present an analytical model which jointly considers mode selection, resource allocation, and power control. Specifically, we consider a distance based mode selection scheme. The performance analysis of different D2D communications modes are performed based on stochastic geometry, and tractable analytical solutions are obtained. Then we investigate the optimal resource partitions between dedicated D2D mode and cellular mode. Numerical results validate the theoretical anlaysis and indicate that with appropriate proportions of users operated in different transmission modes and optimal partitioning of spectrum, the performance gain of FD-D2D communication can be achieved.
