Bound-intersection detection for multiple-symbol differential unitary space-time modulation
This paper considers multiple-symbol differential detection (MSD) of differential unitary space-time modulation (DUSTM) over multiple-antenna systems. We derive a novel exact maximum-likelihood (ML) detector, called the bound-intersection detector (BID), using the extended Euclidean algorithm for single-symbol detection of diagonal constellations. While the ML search complexity is exponential in the number of transmit antennas and the data rate, our algorithm, particularly in high signal-to-noise ratio, achieves significant computational savings over the naive ML algorithm and the previous detector based on lattice reduction. We also develop four BID variants for MSD. The first two are ML and use branch-and-bound, the third one is suboptimal, which first uses BID to generate a candidate subset and then exhaustively searches over the reduced space, and the last one generalizes decision-feedback differential detection. Simulation results show that the BID and its MSD variants perform nearly ML, but do so with significantly reduced complexity
Robust Monotonic Optimization Framework for Multicell MISO Systems
The performance of multiuser systems is both difficult to measure fairly and
to optimize. Most resource allocation problems are non-convex and NP-hard, even
under simplifying assumptions such as perfect channel knowledge, homogeneous
channel properties among users, and simple power constraints. We establish a
general optimization framework that systematically solves these problems to
global optimality. The proposed branch-reduce-and-bound (BRB) algorithm handles
general multicell downlink systems with single-antenna users, multiantenna
transmitters, arbitrary quadratic power constraints, and robustness to channel
uncertainty. A robust fairness-profile optimization (RFO) problem is solved at
each iteration, which is a quasi-convex problem and a novel generalization of
max-min fairness. The BRB algorithm is computationally costly, but it shows
better convergence than the previously proposed outer polyblock approximation
algorithm. Our framework is suitable for computing benchmarks in general
multicell systems with or without channel uncertainty. We illustrate this by
deriving and evaluating a zero-forcing solution to the general problem.Comment: Published in IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, 16 pages, 9
