Dispensing with channel estimation: differentially modulated cooperative wireless communications
As a benefit of bypassing the potentially excessive complexity and yet inaccurate channel estimation, differentially encoded modulation in conjunction with low-complexity noncoherent detection constitutes a viable candidate for user-cooperative systems, where estimating all the links by the relays is unrealistic. In order to stimulate further research on differentially modulated cooperative systems, a number of fundamental challenges encountered in their practical implementations are addressed, including the time-variant-channel-induced performance erosion, flexible cooperative protocol designs, resource allocation as well as its high-spectral-efficiency transceiver design. Our investigations demonstrate the quantitative benefits of cooperative wireless networks both from a pure capacity perspective as well as from a practical system design perspective
An intelligent genetic algorithm for PAPR reduction in a multi-carrier CDMA wireless system
Abstract— A novel intelligent genetic algorithm (GA), called Minimum Distance guided GA (MDGA) is proposed for peak-average-power ratio (PAPR) reduction based on partial transmit sequence (PTS) scheme in a synchronous Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) system. In contrast to traditional GA, our MDGA starts with a balanced ratio of exploration and exploitation which is maintained throughout the process. It introduces a novel replacement strategy which increases significantly the convergence rate and reduce dramatically computational complexity as compared to the conventional GA. The simulation results demonstrate that, if compared to the PAPR reduction schemes using exhaustive search and traditional GA, our scheme achieves 99.52% and 50+% reduction in computational complexity respectively
Communication Over MIMO Broadcast Channels Using Lattice-Basis Reduction
A simple scheme for communication over MIMO broadcast channels is introduced
which adopts the lattice reduction technique to improve the naive channel
inversion method. Lattice basis reduction helps us to reduce the average
transmitted energy by modifying the region which includes the constellation
points. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme performs well, and as
compared to the more complex methods (such as the perturbation method) has a
negligible loss. Moreover, the proposed method is extended to the case of
different rates for different users. The asymptotic behavior of the symbol
error rate of the proposed method and the perturbation technique, and also the
outage probability for the case of fixed-rate users is analyzed. It is shown
that the proposed method, based on LLL lattice reduction, achieves the optimum
asymptotic slope of symbol-error-rate (called the precoding diversity). Also,
the outage probability for the case of fixed sum-rate is analyzed.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Trans. on Info. Theory (Jan. 15, 2006), Revised

Throughput Analysis and Optimization of Wireless-Powered Multiple Antenna Full-Duplex Relay Systems
We consider a full-duplex (FD) decode-and-forward system in which the
time-switching protocol is employed by the multi-antenna relay to receive
energy from the source and transmit information to the destination. The
instantaneous throughput is maximized by optimizing receive and transmit
beamformers at the relay and the time-split parameter. We study both optimum
and suboptimum schemes. The reformulated problem in the optimum scheme achieves
closed-form solutions in terms of transmit beamformer for some scenarios. In
other scenarios, the optimization problem is formulated as a semi-definite
relaxation problem and a rank-one optimum solution is always guaranteed. In the
suboptimum schemes, the beamformers are obtained using maximum ratio combining,
zero-forcing, and maximum ratio transmission. When beamformers have closed-form
solutions, the achievable instantaneous and delay-constrained throughput are
analytically characterized. Our results reveal that, beamforming increases both
the energy harvesting and loop interference suppression capabilities at the FD
relay. Moreover, simulation results demonstrate that the choice of the linear
processing scheme as well as the time-split plays a critical role in
determining the FD gains.Comment: Accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Communication
