Study of Efficient Robust Adaptive Beamforming Algorithms Based on Shrinkage Techniques
This paper proposes low-complexity robust adaptive beamforming (RAB)
techniques based on shrinkage methods. We firstly briefly review a
Low-Complexity Shrinkage-Based Mismatch Estimation (LOCSME) batch algorithm to
estimate the desired signal steering vector mismatch, in which the
interference-plus-noise covariance (INC) matrix is also estimated with a
recursive matrix shrinkage method. Then we develop low complexity adaptive
robust version of the conjugate gradient (CG) algorithm to both estimate the
steering vector mismatch and update the beamforming weights. A computational
complexity study of the proposed and existing algorithms is carried out.
Simulations are conducted in local scattering scenarios and comparisons to
existing RAB techniques are provided.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Study of BEM-Type Channel Estimation Techniques for 5G Multicarrier Systems
In this paper, we investigate channel estimation techniques for 5G
multicarrier systems. Due to the characteristics of the 5G application
scenarios, channel estimation techniques have been tested in Orthogonal
Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Generalized Frequency Division
Multiplexing (GFDM) systems. The orthogonality between subcarriers in OFDM
systems permits inserting and extracting pilots without interference. However,
due to pulse shaping, subcarriers in GFDM are no longer orthogonal and
interfere with each other. Due to such interference, the channel estimation for
GFDM is not trivial. A robust and low-complexity channel estimator can be
obtained by combining a minimum mean-square error (MMSE) regularization and the
basis expansion model (BEM) approach. In this work, we develop a BEM-type
channel estimator along with a strategy to obtain the covariance matrix of the
BEM coefficients. Simulations show that the BEM-type channel estimation shows
performance close to that of the linear MMSE (LMMSE), even though there is no
need to know the channel power delay profile, and its complexity is low.Comment: 2 figures, 7 page
Reduced-rank Adaptive Constrained Constant Modulus Beamforming Algorithms based on Joint Iterative Optimization of Filters
This paper proposes a reduced-rank scheme for adaptive beamforming based on
the constrained joint iterative optimization of filters. We employ this scheme
to devise two novel reduced-rank adaptive algorithms according to the constant
modulus (CM) criterion with different constraints. The first devised algorithm
is formulated as a constrained joint iterative optimization of a projection
matrix and a reduced-rank filter with respect to the CM criterion subject to a
constraint on the array response. The constrained constant modulus (CCM)
expressions for the projection matrix and the reduced-rank weight vector are
derived, and a low-complexity adaptive algorithm is presented to jointly
estimate them for implementation. The second proposed algorithm is extended
from the first one and implemented according to the CM criterion subject to a
constraint on the array response and an orthogonal constraint on the projection
matrix. The Gram-Schmidt (GS) technique is employed to achieve this orthogonal
constraint and improve the performance. Simulation results are given to show
superior performance of the proposed algorithms in comparison with existing
methods.Comment: 4 figure
Sparsity-Based STAP Design Based on Alternating Direction Method with Gain/Phase Errors
We present a novel sparsity-based space-time adaptive processing (STAP)
technique based on the alternating direction method to overcome the severe
performance degradation caused by array gain/phase (GP) errors. The proposed
algorithm reformulates the STAP problem as a joint optimization problem of the
spatio-Doppler profile and GP errors in both single and multiple snapshots, and
introduces a target detector using the reconstructed spatio-Doppler profiles.
Simulations are conducted to illustrate the benefits of the proposed algorithm.Comment: 7 figures, 1 tabl
Low-Complexity Variable Forgetting Factor Constrained Constant Modulus RLS Algorithm for Adaptive Beamforming
In this paper, a recursive least squares (RLS) based blind adaptive
beamforming algorithm that features a new variable forgetting factor (VFF)
mechanism is presented. The beamformer is designed according to the constrained
constant modulus (CCM) criterion, and the proposed adaptive algorithm operates
in the generalized sidelobe canceler (GSC) structure. A detailed study of its
operating properties is carried out, including a convexity analysis and a mean
squared error (MSE) analysis of its steady-state behavior. The results of
numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed VFF mechanism achieves a
superior learning and tracking performance compared to other VFF mechanisms.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, Elsevier Signal Processing, 201
Study of Switched Max-Link Buffer-Aided Relay Selection for Cooperative MIMO Systems
In this paper, we investigate relay selection for cooperative
multiple-antenna systems that are equipped with buffers, which increase the
reliability of wireless links. In particular, we present a novel relay
selection technique based on switching and the Max-Link protocol that is named
Switched Max-Link. We also introduce a novel relay selection criterion based on
the maximum likelihood (ML) principle denoted maximum minimum distance that is
incorporated into. Simulations are then employed to evaluate the performance of
the proposed and existing techniques.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Adaptive Low-rank Constrained Constant Modulus Beamforming Algorithms using Joint Iterative Optimization of Parameters
This paper proposes a robust reduced-rank scheme for adaptive beamforming
based on joint iterative optimization (JIO) of adaptive filters. The scheme
provides an efficient way to deal with filters with large number of elements.
It consists of a bank of full-rank adaptive filters that forms a transformation
matrix and an adaptive reduced-rank filter that operates at the output of the
bank of filters. The transformation matrix projects the received vector onto a
low-dimension vector, which is processed by the reduced-rank filter to estimate
the desired signal. The expressions of the transformation matrix and the
reduced-rank weight vector are derived according to the constrained constant
modulus (CCM) criterion. Two novel low-complexity adaptive algorithms are
devised for the implementation of the proposed scheme with respect to different
constrained conditions. Simulations are performed to show superior performance
of the proposed algorithms in comparison with the existing methods.Comment: 4 figures, 4 pages. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with

Study of Robust Distributed Beamforming Based on Cross-Correlation and Subspace Projection Techniques
In this work, we present a novel robust distributed beamforming (RDB)
approach to mitigate the effects of channel errors on wireless networks
equipped with relays based on the exploitation of the cross-correlation between
the received data from the relays at the destination and the system output. The
proposed RDB method, denoted cross-correlation and subspace projection (CCSP)
RDB, considers a total relay transmit power constraint in the system and the
objective of maximizing the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio
(SINR). The relay nodes are equipped with an amplify-and-forward (AF) protocol
and we assume that the channel state information (CSI) is imperfectly known at
the relays and there is no direct link between the sources and the destination.
The CCSP does not require any costly optimization procedure and simulations
show an excellent performance as compared to previously reported algorithms.Comment: 3 figures, 7 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Study of Opportunistic Cooperation Techniques using Jamming and Relays for Physical-Layer Security in Buffer-aided Relay Networks
In this paper, we investigate opportunistic relay and jammer cooperation
schemes in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) buffer-aided relay networks.
The network consists of one source, an arbitrary number of relay nodes,
legitimate users and eavesdroppers, with the constraints of physical layer
security. We propose an algorithm to select a set of relay nodes to enhance the
legitimate users' transmission and another set of relay nodes to perform
jamming of the eavesdroppers. With Inter-Relay interference (IRI) taken into
account, interference cancellation can be implemented to assist the
transmission of the legitimate users. Secondly, IRI can also be used to further
increase the level of harm of the jamming signal to the eavesdroppers. By
exploiting the fact that the jamming signal can be stored at the relay nodes,
we also propose a hybrid algorithm to set a signal-to-interference and noise
ratio (SINR) threshold at the node to determine the type of signal stored at
the relay node. With this separation, the signals with high SINR are delivered
to the users as conventional relay systems and the low SINR performance signals
are stored as potential jamming signals. Simulation results show that the
proposed techniques obtain a significant improvement in secrecy rate over
previously reported algorithms.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figure
Study of Joint MSINR and Relay Selection Algorithms for Distributed Beamforming
This paper presents joint maximum signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio
(MSINR) and relay selection algorithms for distributed beamforming. We propose
a joint MSINR and restricted greedy search relay selection (RGSRS) algorithm
with a total relay transmit power constraint that iteratively optimizes both
the beamforming weights at the relays nodes, maximizing the SINR at the
destination. Specifically, we devise a relay selection scheme that based on
greedy search and compare it to other schemes like restricted random relay
selection (RRRS) and restricted exhaustive search relay selection (RESRS). A
complexity analysis is provided and simulation results show that the proposed
joint MSINR and RGSRS algorithm achieves excellent bit error rate (BER) and
SINR performances.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with
