A Comprehensive Review on Various Estimation Techniques for Multi Input Multi Output Channel

لقد تطورت مشكلة تقدير القناة اللاسلكية بسبب بعض التأثيرات غير المرغوب فيها للخواص الفيزيائية للقناة على الإشارات المرسلة. في نهاية المستقبل، التشوه، والتأخير، والتوهين، والتداخلات، ونوبات الطور هي أكثر المشكلات التي تواجهها مع الإشارات المستقبلة. من أجل التغلب على تأثيرات القناة وتوفير جودة كاملة تقريبًا لنقل البيانات، يلزم تقدير معلومات القناة. في أنظمة المخرجات متعددة المدخلات والمخرجات (MIMO)، يعتبر تقدير القناة خطوة أكثر تعقيدًا مقارنة بأنظمة المخرجات ذات المدخلات المفردة، SISO، نظرًا لأن عدد القنوات الفرعية التي تحتاج إلى تقدير أكبر بكثير من انظمة SISO. الهدف الأساسي من هذه الورقة البحثية هو مراجعة شاملة لاغلب الخوارزميات الشهيرة والفعالة التي تم ابتكارها لحل مشكلة تقدير قناة MIMO في أنظمة الاتصالات اللاسلكية. في هذه الورقة، تم تصنيف هذه التقنيات إلى ثلاث مجموعات: غير المكفوفين، شبه الأعمى وتقدير أعمى. لكل مجموعة، يتم تقديم توضيح مختصر لخوارزميات التقدير المألوفة. وأخيرًا، نقارن بين هذه التقنيات استنادًا إلى التعقيد الحسابي والكمون ودقة التقدير.The problem of wireless channel estimation has been evolving due to some undesirable effects of channel physical properties on transmitted signals. At the receiver end, distortions, delays, attenuations, interferences, and phase shifts are the most issues encounter together with the received signals. In order to overcome channel effects and provide almost a perfect quality of data transmission, channel parameter estimation is needed. In Multiple Input-Multiple Output systems (MIMO), channel estimation is a more complicated step as compared with the Single Input-Single Output systems, SISO, because of the fact that the number of sub-channels that needs estimate is much greater than SISO systems. The fundamental objective of this research paper is to go over the famous and efficient algorithms that have been innovated to solve the problem of MIMO channel estimation in wireless communication systems. In this paper, these techniques have been classified into three groups: non-blind, semi-blind and blind estimation. For each group, a brief illustration is presented for familiar estimation algorithms. Finally, we compare between these techniques based on computational complexity, latency and estimation accuracy

Optimized DWT Based Digital Image Watermarking and Extraction Using RNN-LSTM

The rapid growth of Internet and the fast emergence of multi-media applications over the past decades have led to new problems such as illegal copying, digital plagiarism, distribution and use of copyrighted digital data. Watermarking digital data for copyright protection is a current need of the community. For embedding watermarks, robust algorithms in die media will resolve copyright infringements. Therefore, to enhance the robustness, optimization techniques and deep neural network concepts are utilized. In this paper, the optimized Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is utilized for embedding the watermark. The optimization algorithm is a combination of Simulated Annealing (SA) and Tunicate Swarm Algorithm (TSA). After performing the embedding process, the extraction is processed by deep neural network concept of Recurrent Neural Network based Long Short-Term Memory (RNN-LSTM). From the extraction process, the original image is obtained by this RNN-LSTM method. The experimental set up is carried out in the MATLAB platform. The performance metrics of PSNR, NC and SSIM are determined and compared with existing optimization and machine learning approaches. The results are achieved under various attacks to show the robustness of the proposed work

Intensity preserving cast removal in color images using particle swarm optimization

In this paper, we present an optimal image enhancement technique for color cast images by preserving their intensity. There are methods which improves the appearance of the affected images under different cast like red, green, blue etc but up to some extent. The proposed color cast method is corrected by using transformation function based on gamma values. These optimal values of gamma are obtained through particle swarm optimization (PSO). This technique preserves the image intensity and maintains the originality of color by satisfying the modified gray world assumptions. For the performance analysis, the image distance metric criteria of CIELAB color space is used. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is illustrated by testing the proposed method on color cast images. It has been found that distance between the reference image and the corrected proposed image is negligible. The calculated value of image distance depicts that the enhanced image results of the proposed algorithm are closer to the reference images in comparison with other existing methods

MIMO-aided near-capacity turbo transceivers: taxonomy and performance versus complexity

In this treatise, we firstly review the associated Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system theory and review the family of hard-decision and soft-decision based detection algorithms in the context of Spatial Division Multiplexing (SDM) systems. Our discussions culminate in the introduction of a range of powerful novel MIMO detectors, such as for example Markov Chain assisted Minimum Bit-Error Rate (MC-MBER) detectors, which are capable of reliably operating in the challenging high-importance rank-deficient scenarios, where there are more transmitters than receivers and hence the resultant channel-matrix becomes non-invertible. As a result, conventional detectors would exhibit a high residual error floor. We then invoke the Soft-Input Soft-Output (SISO) MIMO detectors for creating turbo-detected two- or three-stage concatenated SDM schemes and investigate their attainable performance in the light of their computational complexity. Finally, we introduce the powerful design tools of EXtrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT)-charts and characterize the achievable performance of the diverse near- capacity SISO detectors with the aid of EXIT charts

Bacterial Foraging Based Channel Equalizers

A channel equalizer is one of the most important subsystems in any digital communication receiver. It is also the subsystem that consumes maximum computation time in the receiver. Traditionally maximum-likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE) was the most popular form of equalizer. Owing to non-stationary characteristics of the communication channel MLSE receivers perform poorly. Under these circumstances ‘Maximum A-posteriori Probability (MAP)’ receivers also called Bayesian receivers perform better. Natural selection tends to eliminate animals with poor “foraging strategies” and favor the propagation of genes of those animals that have successful foraging strategies since they are more likely to enjoy reproductive success. After many generations, poor foraging strategies are either eliminated or shaped into good ones (redesigned). Logically, such evolutionary principles have led scientists in the field of “foraging theory” to hypothesize that it is appropriate to model the activity of foraging as an optimization process. This thesis presents an investigation on design of bacterial foraging based channel equalizer for digital communication. Extensive simulation studies shows that the performance of the proposed receiver is close to optimal receiver for variety of channel conditions. The proposed receiver also provides near optimal performance when channel suffers from nonlinearities

Blind Search for Optimal Wiener Equalizers Using an Artificial Immune Network Model

This work proposes a framework to determine the optimal Wiener equalizer by using an artificial immune network model together with the constant modulus (CM) cost function. This study was primarily motivated by recent theoretical results concerning the CM criterion and its relation to the Wiener approach. The proposed immune-based technique was tested under different channel models and filter orders, and benchmarked against a procedure using a genetic algorithm with niching. The results demonstrated that the proposed strategy has a clear superiority when compared with the more traditional technique. The proposed algorithm presents interesting features from the perspective of multimodal search, being capable of determining the optimal Wiener equalizer in most runs for all tested channels
