Joint Beamforming and Power Control in Coordinated Multicell: Max-Min Duality, Effective Network and Large System Transition
This paper studies joint beamforming and power control in a coordinated
multicell downlink system that serves multiple users per cell to maximize the
minimum weighted signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio. The optimal solution
and distributed algorithm with geometrically fast convergence rate are derived
by employing the nonlinear Perron-Frobenius theory and the multicell network
duality. The iterative algorithm, though operating in a distributed manner,
still requires instantaneous power update within the coordinated cluster
through the backhaul. The backhaul information exchange and message passing may
become prohibitive with increasing number of transmit antennas and increasing
number of users. In order to derive asymptotically optimal solution, random
matrix theory is leveraged to design a distributed algorithm that only requires
statistical information. The advantage of our approach is that there is no
instantaneous power update through backhaul. Moreover, by using nonlinear
Perron-Frobenius theory and random matrix theory, an effective primal network
and an effective dual network are proposed to characterize and interpret the
asymptotic solution.Comment: Some typos in the version publised in the IEEE Transactions on

SMARAD - Centre of Excellence in Smart Radios and Wireless Research - Activity Report 2011 - 2013
Centre of Excellence in Smart Radios and Wireless Research (SMARAD), originally established with the name Smart and Novel Radios Research Unit, is aiming at world-class research and education in Future radio and antenna systems, Cognitive radio, Millimetre wave and THz techniques, Sensors, and Materials and energy, using its expertise in RF, microwave and millimeter wave engineering, in integrated circuit design for multi-standard radios as well as in wireless communications.
SMARAD has the Centre of Excellence in Research status from the Academy of Finland since 2002 (2002-2007 and 2008-2013). Currently SMARAD consists of five research groups from three departments, namely the Department of Radio Science and Engineering, Department of Micro and Nanosciences, and Department of Signal Processing and Acoustics, all within the Aalto University School of Electrical Engineering. The total number of employees within the research unit is about 100 including 8 professors, about 30 senior scientists and about 40 graduate students and several undergraduate students working on their Master thesis.
The relevance of SMARAD to the Finnish society is very high considering the high national income from exports of telecommunications and electronics products. The unit conducts basic research but at the same time maintains close co-operation with industry. Novel ideas are applied in design of new communication circuits and platforms, transmission techniques and antenna structures. SMARAD has a well-established network of co-operating partners in industry, research institutes and academia worldwide. It coordinates a few EU projects. The funding sources of SMARAD are diverse including the Academy of Finland, EU, ESA, Tekes, and Finnish and foreign telecommunications and semiconductor industry. As a by-product of this research SMARAD provides highest-level education and supervision to graduate students in the areas of radio engineering, circuit design and communications through Aalto University and Finnish graduate schools.
During years 2011 – 2013, 18 doctor degrees were awarded to the students of SMARAD. In the same period, the SMARAD researchers published 197 refereed journal articles and 360 conference papers
Deterministic Sensing Matrices in Compressive Sensing: A Survey
Compressive sensing is a sampling method which provides a new approach to efficient signal compression and recovery by exploiting the fact that a sparse signal can be suitably reconstructed from very few measurements. One of the most concerns in compressive sensing is the construction of the sensing matrices. While random sensing matrices have been widely studied, only a few deterministic sensing matrices have been considered. These matrices are highly desirable on structure which allows fast implementation with reduced storage requirements. In this paper, a survey of deterministic sensing matrices for compressive sensing is presented. We introduce a basic problem in compressive sensing and some disadvantage of the random sensing matrices. Some recent results on construction of the deterministic sensing matrices are discussed

A derivation of the source-channel error exponent using nonidentical product distributions
This paper studies the random-coding exponent of joint source-channel coding for a scheme where source messages are assigned to disjoint subsets (referred to as classes), and codewords are independently generated according to a distribution that depends on the class index of the source message. For discrete memoryless systems, two optimally chosen classes and product distributions are found to be sufficient to attain the sphere-packing exponent in those cases where it is tight. © 2014 IEEE

Classificazione delle tecniche di condivisione delle risorse tramite teoria dei giochi in reti di nuova generazione
Nel lavoro di questa tesi ci si concentrerà maggiormente sulla condivisione dello spettro tra utenti che pertecipano alla trasmissione in un canale comune, enfatizzando come la teoria dei giochi fornisca degli ottimi strumenti per lo studio dei questo problema. Per avere una panoramica generale, nell'ambito della tesi e stata inoltre sviluppata una tassonomia delle varie tecniche impiegate.

A stochastic analysis of resource sharing with logarithmic weights
The paper investigates the properties of a class of resource allocation
algorithms for communication networks: if a node of this network has
requests to transmit, then it receives a fraction of the capacity proportional
to , the logarithm of its current load. A detailed fluid scaling
analysis of such a network with two nodes is presented. It is shown that the
interaction of several time scales plays an important role in the evolution of
such a system, in particular its coordinates may live on very different time
and space scales. As a consequence, the associated stochastic processes turn
out to have unusual scaling behaviors. A heavy traffic limit theorem for the
invariant distribution is also proved. Finally, we present a generalization to
the resource sharing algorithm for which the function is replaced by an
increasing function. Possible generalizations of these results with nodes
or with the function replaced by another slowly increasing function are
discussed.Comment: Published at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/14-AAP1057 in the Annals of
