Joint transmit-receive space-time equalization in spatially correlated MIMO channels: a beamforming approach

Multi-input multi-output (MIMO) channels have been shown in the literature to present a significant capacity increase over single-input single-output ones in some situations. To achieve this theoretical capacity, the constituent parallel subchannels arising from the MIMO channel have to be properly used. Many practical schemes are being currently developed to achieve this goal. We first show that, from an information-theoretic point of view, beamforming becomes asymptotically optimal as the spatial correlation of the channel fading increases. In light of this result, wideband beamvectors are jointly derived for both transmission and reception. We allow a controlled partial response and design zero-forcing and minimum mean-squared error transmit-receive filters. Conceptually, the beamforming scheme is shown to decompose into two stages: the first one corresponds to a spatial flattening of the MIMO channel, i.e., choosing the subchannel with the highest gain at each frequency; the second stage depends on the particular design criterion and performs a power distribution at the transmitter and defines the equalizer at the receiver. These methods are further extended to the general case of multiple beamforming, i.e., when more than one subchannel are used. An exact and practical implementation of a modified "waterfilling" solution required for the filter design is proposed. All derived methods are assessed and compared in terms of capacity and bit-error rate.     

Cross‐layer design for MIMO systems over spatially correlated and keyhole Nakagami‐m fading channels

Cross‐layer design is a generic designation for a set of efficient adaptive transmission schemes, across multiple layers of the protocol stack, that are aimed at enhancing the spectral efficiency and increasing the transmission reliability of wireless communication systems. In this paper, one such cross‐layer design scheme that combines physical layer adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) with link layer truncated automatic repeat request (T‐ARQ) is proposed for multiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) systems employing orthogonal space‐‐time block coding (OSTBC). The performance of the proposed cross‐layer design is evaluated in terms of achievable average spectral efficiency (ASE), average packet loss rate (PLR) and outage probability, for which analytical expressions are derived, considering transmission over two types of MIMO fading channels, namely, spatially correlated Nakagami‐m fading channels and keyhole Nakagami‐m fading channels. Furthermore, the effects of the maximum number of ARQ retransmissions, numbers of transmit and receive antennas, Nakagami fading parameter and spatial correlation parameters, are studied and discussed based on numerical results and comparisons.

大规模MIMO相关信道下的联合天线分组和天线选择

在大规模多输入多输出系统中,针对密集部署的大型天线阵列之间的强相关性会抑制天线选择增益效果的问题。在系统下行链路场景下建立空间相关信道模型,提出了基于天线分组的天线选择算法。根据瞬时信道相关矩阵将天线阵列划分为若干组,保证各组内天线之间相关性较强。在完成天线分组的基础上,基于信道矩阵列范数准则在各组发射天线与接收天线之间构成的子信道矩阵中选择天线,进而构造有效发射天线与接收天线之间的信道矩阵。仿真分析了所提天线选择算法对系统遍历和速率的影响,结果表明,在基站天线数为32、接收天线数为2、选择天线数为2、天线相关因子为0.9的假设下,当信噪比为10 dB时,与基于相邻天线分组的天线选择算法相比,所提算法使系统和速率约提高了27.5%,且所提算法若要与最优天线选择算法达到相同的和速率,仅需将其信噪比提升1～2 dB即可。

基于MBER的联合预编码与空时编码GFDM功率分配策略

为改善频率选择性衰落信道上广义频分复用（GFDM）系统的误比特率和频带利用率性能,基于最小误比特率（MBER）准则,提出一种联合预编码和空时编码（STC）的 GFDM 系统及其相应的功率分配策略,可将该功率分配策略的优化目标由MBER转化为最小化其噪声增强因子,并推导了联合预编码与空时编码 GFDM 系统的功率分配、误比特率和频带利用率性能解析表达式。数值计算和仿真结果表明,与预编码STC-GFDM系统相比,基于MBER准则的预编码STC-GFDM系统的误码性能在误比特率为10^-3时改善约0.4 dB,频带利用率性能在信噪比为12 dB时提高约0.24 bit/(s·Hz)。     

Channel quality-to-interference ratio quantization criterion for limited feedback beamforming in MIMO systems

The discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-based codebook is employed in this paper to quantize channel state information so that the amount of feedback can be reduced in the multiple input multiple output (MIMO) downlink of long term evolution (LTE) system. And a novel beamforming (BF) scheme based on the proposed channel quality-to-interference (QIR) quantizing criteria is developed, which uses only the index of the optimal codebook for the beamforming at the base station (BS), and dramatically reduces the amount of feedback. The proposed BF scheme jointly considers the influences of the quality of the quantized channels and the mutual interference among the sub-channels. The extensive simulation results verify that throughput of the proposed BF scheme is better than that of the random BF with a little feedback, and that of the eigen-beamforming even under low signal noise ratio (SNR) scenario.     

Adaptive precoding and power allocation in distributed antenna systems with limited feedback

This paper introduces the limited feedback precoding into the distributed antenna system and proposes to adapt the predetermined orthogonal space time block codes to the available channel state information at the transmitter. The optimal representation of precoding information, namely the precoder, with least bits therefore becomes the key problem. Inspired by the characteristics of the distributed antenna system, we focus our work on the precoder construction, adaptable in response to the large and small scale fading, such that the symbol error probability is significantly reduced over that of a fixed, non‐adaptive, independent and identically distributed precoder codebook design. Furthermore, a suboptimal power‐loading strategy is presented by minimizing the derived tight upper bound on the average pairwise error probability of the precoded orthogonal space time block codes, which approaches the optimal performance asymptotically without additional channel knowledge other than the available feedback information. We prove that the proposed precoded orthogonal space time transmission scheme can achieve full diversity order. In particular, the robustness of our proposed transmission scheme to channel estimation error and feedback delay is respectively investigated in some detail, and numerical results show that it obviously improves the link reliability and obtains substantial gains even with few bits of feedback in comparison with conventional antenna selection scheme.

Split variable-length input Huffman code with application to test data compression for embedded cores in SOCs

In this article, a run length encoding-based test data compression technique has been addressed. The scheme performs Huffman coding on different parts of the test data file separately. It has been observed that up to a 6% improvement in compression ratio and a 29% improvement in test application time can be achieved sacrificing only about 6.5% of the decoder area. We have compared our results with the other contemporary works reported in the literature. It has been observed that for most of the cases, our scheme produces a better compression ratio and that the area requirements are much less.
