Precoded Chebyshev-NLMS based pre-distorter for nonlinear LED compensation in NOMA-VLC
Visible light communication (VLC) is one of the main technologies driving the
future 5G communication systems due to its ability to support high data rates
with low power consumption, thereby facilitating high speed green
communications. To further increase the capacity of VLC systems, a technique
called non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been suggested to cater to
increasing demand for bandwidth, whereby users' signals are superimposed prior
to transmission and detected at each user equipment using successive
interference cancellation (SIC). Some recent results on NOMA exist which
greatly enhance the achievable capacity as compared to orthogonal multiple
access techniques. However, one of the performance-limiting factors affecting
VLC systems is the nonlinear characteristics of a light emitting diode (LED).
This paper considers the nonlinear LED characteristics in the design of
pre-distorter for cognitive radio inspired NOMA in VLC, and proposes singular
value decomposition based Chebyshev precoding to improve performance of
nonlinear multiple-input multiple output NOMA-VLC. A novel and generalized
power allocation strategy is also derived in this work, which is valid even in
scenarios when users experience similar channels. Additionally, in this work,
analytical upper bounds for the bit error rate of the proposed detector are
derived for square -quadrature amplitude modulation.Comment: R. Mitra and V. Bhatia are with Indian Institute of Technology

Non-cooperative Feedback Rate Control Game for Channel State Information in Wireless Networks
It has been well recognized that channel state information (CSI) feedback is
of great importance for dowlink transmissions of closed-loop wireless networks.
However, the existing work typically researched the CSI feedback problem for
each individual mobile station (MS), and thus, cannot efficiently model the
interactions among self-interested mobile users in the network level. To this
end, in this paper, we propose an alternative approach to investigate the CSI
feedback rate control problem in the analytical setting of a game theoretic
framework, in which a multiple-antenna base station (BS) communicates with a
number of co-channel MSs through linear precoder. Specifically, we first
present a non-cooperative feedback-rate control game (NFC), in which each MS
selects the feedback rate to maximize its performance in a distributed way. To
improve efficiency from a social optimum point of view, we then introduce
pricing, called the non-cooperative feedback-rate control game with price
(NFCP). The game utility is defined as the performance gain by CSI feedback
minus the price as a linear function of the CSI feedback rate. The existence of
the Nash equilibrium of such games is investigated, and two types of feedback
protocols (FDMA and CSMA) are studied. Simulation results show that by
adjusting the pricing factor, the distributed NFCP game results in close
optimal performance compared with that of the centralized scheme.Comment: 26 pages, 10 figures; IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in

AirSync: Enabling Distributed Multiuser MIMO with Full Spatial Multiplexing
The enormous success of advanced wireless devices is pushing the demand for
higher wireless data rates. Denser spectrum reuse through the deployment of
more access points per square mile has the potential to successfully meet the
increasing demand for more bandwidth. In theory, the best approach to density
increase is via distributed multiuser MIMO, where several access points are
connected to a central server and operate as a large distributed multi-antenna
access point, ensuring that all transmitted signal power serves the purpose of
data transmission, rather than creating "interference." In practice, while
enterprise networks offer a natural setup in which distributed MIMO might be
possible, there are serious implementation difficulties, the primary one being
the need to eliminate phase and timing offsets between the jointly coordinated
access points.
In this paper we propose AirSync, a novel scheme which provides not only time
but also phase synchronization, thus enabling distributed MIMO with full
spatial multiplexing gains. AirSync locks the phase of all access points using
a common reference broadcasted over the air in conjunction with a Kalman filter
which closely tracks the phase drift. We have implemented AirSync as a digital
circuit in the FPGA of the WARP radio platform. Our experimental testbed,
comprised of two access points and two clients, shows that AirSync is able to
achieve phase synchronization within a few degrees, and allows the system to
nearly achieve the theoretical optimal multiplexing gain. We also discuss MAC
and higher layer aspects of a practical deployment. To the best of our
knowledge, AirSync offers the first ever realization of the full multiuser MIMO
gain, namely the ability to increase the number of wireless clients linearly
with the number of jointly coordinated access points, without reducing the per
client rate.Comment: Submitted to Transactions on Networkin
