A High-Diversity Transceiver Design for MISO Broadcast Channels
In this paper, the outage behavior and diversity order of the mixture
transceiver architecture for multiple-input single-output broadcast channels
are analyzed. The mixture scheme groups users with closely-aligned channels and
applies superposition coding and successive interference cancellation decoding
to each group composed of users with closely-aligned channels, while applying
zero-forcing beamforming across semi-orthogonal user groups. In order to enable
such analysis, closed-form lower bounds on the achievable rates of a general
multiple-input single-output broadcast channel with superposition coding and
successive interference cancellation are newly derived. By employing
channel-adaptive user grouping and proper power allocation, which ensures that
the channel subspaces of user groups have angle larger than a certain
threshold, it is shown that the mixture transceiver architecture achieves full
diversity order in multiple-input single-output broadcast channels and
opportunistically increases the multiplexing gain while achieving full
diversity order. Furthermore, the achieved full diversity order is the same as
that of the single-user maximum ratio transmit beamforming. Hence, the mixture
scheme can provide reliable communication under channel fading for
ultra-reliable low latency communication. Numerical results validate our
analysis and show the outage superiority of the mixture scheme over
conventional transceiver designs for multiple-input single-output broadcast
channels.Comment: The inner region is evaluated. The single-group SIC performance is

Beamforming Techniques for Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access in 5G Cellular Networks
In this paper, we develop various beamforming techniques for downlink
transmission for multiple-input single-output (MISO) non-orthogonal multiple
access (NOMA) systems. First, a beamforming approach with perfect channel state
information (CSI) is investigated to provide the required quality of service
(QoS) for all users. Taylor series approximation and semidefinite relaxation
(SDR) techniques are employed to reformulate the original non-convex power
minimization problem to a tractable one. Further, a fairness-based beamforming
approach is proposed through a max-min formulation to maintain fairness between
users. Next, we consider a robust scheme by incorporating channel
uncertainties, where the transmit power is minimized while satisfying the
outage probability requirement at each user. Through exploiting the SDR
approach, the original non-convex problem is reformulated in a linear matrix
inequality (LMI) form to obtain the optimal solution. Numerical results
demonstrate that the robust scheme can achieve better performance compared to
the non-robust scheme in terms of the rate satisfaction ratio. Further,
simulation results confirm that NOMA consumes a little over half transmit power
needed by OMA for the same data rate requirements. Hence, NOMA has the
potential to significantly improve the system performance in terms of transmit
power consumption in future 5G networks and beyond.Comment: accepted to publish in IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technolog
Secrecy Wireless Information and Power Transfer with MISO Beamforming
The dual use of radio signals for simultaneous wireless information and power
transfer (SWIPT) has recently drawn significant attention. To meet the
practical requirement that energy receivers (ERs) operate with significantly
higher received power as compared to information receivers (IRs), ERs need to
be deployed in more proximity to the transmitter than IRs. However, due to the
broadcast nature of wireless channels, one critical issue arises that the
messages sent to IRs can be eavesdropped by ERs, which possess better channels
from the transmitter. In this paper, we address this new secrecy communication
problem in a multiuser multiple-input single-output (MISO) SWIPT system where
one multi-antenna transmitter sends information and energy simultaneously to an
IR and multiple ERs, each with one single antenna. To optimally design transmit
beamforming vectors and their power allocation, two problems are investigated
with different aims: the first problem maximizes the secrecy rate for IR
subject to individual harvested energy constraints of ERs, while the second
problem maximizes the weighted sum-energy transferred to ERs subject to a
secrecy rate constraint for IR. We solve these two non-convex problems
optimally by reformulating each of them into a two-stage problem. First, by
fixing the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) target for ERs (for
the first problem) or IR (for the second problem), we obtain the optimal
beamforming and power allocation solution by applying the technique of
semidefinite relaxation (SDR). Then, the original problems are solved by a
one-dimension search over the optimal SINR target for ERs or IR. Furthermore,
for each of the two studied problems, suboptimal solutions of lower complexity
are also proposed in which the information and energy beamforming vectors are
separately designed with their power allocation.Comment: accepted by IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing. Longer version of

Robust Transceiver Design for MISO Interference Channel with Energy Harvesting
In this paper, we consider multiuser multiple-input single-output (MISO)
interference channel where the received signal is divided into two parts for
information decoding and energy harvesting (EH), respectively. The transmit
beamforming vectors and receive power splitting (PS) ratios are jointly
designed in order to minimize the total transmission power subject to both
signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and EH constraints. Most joint
beamforming and power splitting (JBPS) designs assume that perfect channel
state information (CSI) is available; however CSI errors are inevitable in
practice. To overcome this limitation, we study the robust JBPS design problem
assuming a norm-bounded error (NBE) model for the CSI. Three different solution
approaches are proposed for the robust JBPS problem, each one leading to a
different computational algorithm. Firstly, an efficient semidefinite
relaxation (SDR)-based approach is presented to solve the highly non-convex
JBPS problem, where the latter can be formulated as a semidefinite programming
(SDP) problem. A rank-one recovery method is provided to recover a robust
feasible solution to the original problem. Secondly, based on second order cone
programming (SOCP) relaxation, we propose a low complexity approach with the
aid of a closed-form robust solution recovery method. Thirdly, a new iterative
method is also provided which can achieve near-optimal performance when the
SDR-based algorithm results in a higher-rank solution. We prove that this
iterative algorithm monotonically converges to a Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT)
solution of the robust JBPS problem. Finally, simulation results are presented
to validate the robustness and efficiency of the proposed algorithms.Comment: 13 pages, 8 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with
