IA-OPD : an optimized orthogonal pulse design scheme for waveform division multiple access UWB systems
A new design scheme of orthogonal pulses is proposed for waveform division multiple access ultra-wideband (WDMA-UWB) systems. In order to achieve WDMA and to improve user capacity, the proposed method, termed as interference alignment based orthogonal pulse design (IA-OPD), employs combined orthogonal wavelet functions in the pulse design. The combination coefficients are optimized by using interference alignment. Due to the reciprocity between transmitted and local template signals, the iterative process based on maximum signal to interference plus noise ratio (Max-SINR) criterion can be used to solve the optimization problem in interference alignment. Numerical results demonstrate that the optimized orthogonal pulses provide excellent performances in terms of multiple access interference (MAI) suppression, user capacity and near-far resistance without using any multiuser detection (MUD) techniques. Thus, the IA-OPD scheme can be used to efficiently design a large number of orthogonal pulses for multiuser WDMA-UWB systems with low computational complexity and simple transceiver structure
Interference alignment for a multi-user SISO interference channel
International audienceOur work addresses the single-input single-output interference channel. The goal is to show that although interference alignment is suboptimal in the finite power region, it is able to achieve a significant overall throughput. We investigate the interference alignment scheme proposed by Choi et al. (IEEE Commun. Lett. 13(11): 847-849, 2009), which achieves a higher multiplexing gain at any given signal dimension than the scheme proposed by Cadambe and Jafar (IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory 54(8), 2008). Then, we try to modify the IA design in order to achieve enhanced sum-rate performance in the practical signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region. Firstly, we introduce a way to optimize the precoding subspaces at all transmitters, exploiting the fact that channel matrices in the interference model of a single-input single-output channel are diagonal. Secondly, we propose to optimize jointly the set of precoder bases within their associated precoding subspaces. To this end, we combine each precoder with a new combination precoder, and this latter seeks the optimal basis that maximizes the network sum rate. We also introduce an improved closed-form interference alignment scheme that performs close to the other proposed schemes
Pareto Boundary of the Rate Region for Single-Stream MIMO Interference Channels: Linear Transceiver Design
We consider a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) interference channel
(IC), where a single data stream per user is transmitted and each receiver
treats interference as noise. The paper focuses on the open problem of
computing the outermost boundary (so-called Pareto boundary-PB) of the
achievable rate region under linear transceiver design. The Pareto boundary
consists of the strict PB and non-strict PB. For the two user case, we compute
the non-strict PB and the two ending points of the strict PB exactly. For the
strict PB, we formulate the problem to maximize one rate while the other rate
is fixed such that a strict PB point is reached. To solve this non-convex
optimization problem which results from the hard-coupled two transmit
beamformers, we propose an alternating optimization algorithm. Furthermore, we
extend the algorithm to the multi-user scenario and show convergence. Numerical
simulations illustrate that the proposed algorithm computes a sequence of
well-distributed operating points that serve as a reasonable and complete inner
bound of the strict PB compared with existing methods.Comment: 16 pages, 9 figures. Accepted for publication in IEEE Tans. Signal

Transceiver Design for Wireless Power Transfer for Multiuser MIMO Communication Systems
This chapter describes transceiver design methods for simultaneous wireless power transmission (WPT) and information transmission in two typical multiuser MIMO networks, that is, the MIMO broadcasting channel (BC) and interference channel (IC) networks. The design problems are formulated to minimize the transmit power consumption at the transmitter(s) while satisfying the quality of service (QoS) requirements of both the information decoding (ID) and WPT of all users. The mean-square error (MSE) and the signal-to-interference-noise ratio (SINR) criteria are adopted to characterize the ID performance of the BC network and the IC network, respectively. The designs are cast as nonconvex optimization problems due to the coupling of multiple variables with respect to transmit precoders, ID receivers, and power splitting factors, which are difficult to solve directly. The feasibility conditions of these deign problems are discussed, and effective solving algorithms are developed through alternative optimization (AO) framework and semidefinite programming relaxation (SDR) techniques. Low-complexity algorithms are also developed to alleviate the computation burden in solving the semidefinite programming (SDP) problems. Finally, simulation results validating those proposed algorithms are included
Cooperative Precoding with Limited Feedback for MIMO Interference Channels
Multi-antenna precoding effectively mitigates the interference in wireless
networks. However, the resultant performance gains can be significantly
compromised in practice if the precoder design fails to account for the
inaccuracy in the channel state information (CSI) feedback. This paper
addresses this issue by considering finite-rate CSI feedback from receivers to
their interfering transmitters in the two-user multiple-input-multiple-output
(MIMO) interference channel, called cooperative feedback, and proposing a
systematic method for designing transceivers comprising linear precoders and
equalizers. Specifically, each precoder/equalizer is decomposed into inner and
outer components for nulling the cross-link interference and achieving array
gain, respectively. The inner precoders/equalizers are further optimized to
suppress the residual interference resulting from finite-rate cooperative
feedback. Further- more, the residual interference is regulated by additional
scalar cooperative feedback signals that are designed to control transmission
power using different criteria including fixed interference margin and maximum
sum throughput. Finally, the required number of cooperative precoder feedback
bits is derived for limiting the throughput loss due to precoder quantization.Comment: 23 pages; 5 figures; this work was presented in part at Asilomar 2011

Resource Allocation for Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output Interference Networks
To meet the exponentially increasing traffic data driven by the rapidly growing mobile subscriptions, both industry and academia are exploring the potential of a new genera- tion (5G) of wireless technologies. An important 5G goal is to achieve high data rate. Small cells with spectrum sharing and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques are one of the most promising 5G technologies, since it enables to increase the aggregate data rate by improving the spectral efficiency, nodes density and transmission bandwidth, respectively. However, the increased interference in the densified networks will in return limit the achievable rate performance if not properly managed.
The considered setup can be modeled as MIMO interference networks, which can be classified into the K-user MIMO interference channel (IC) and the K-cell MIMO interfering broadcast channel/multiple access channel (MIMO-IBC/IMAC) according to the number of mobile stations (MSs) simultaneously served by each base station (BS). The thesis considers two physical layer (PHY) resource allocation problems that deal with the interference for both models: 1) Pareto boundary computation for the achiev- able rate region in a K-user single-stream MIMO IC and 2) grouping-based interference alignment (GIA) with optimized IA-Cell assignment in a MIMO-IMAC under limited feedback. In each problem, the thesis seeks to provide a deeper understanding of the system and novel mathematical results, along with supporting numerical examples. Some of the main contributions can be summarized as follows.
It is an open problem to compute the Pareto boundary of the achievable rate region for a K-user single-stream MIMO IC. The K-user single-stream MIMO IC models multiple transmitter-receiver pairs which operate over the same spectrum simultaneously. Each transmitter and each receiver is equipped with multiple antennas, and a single desired data stream is communicated in each transmitter-receiver link. The individual achievable rates of the K users form a K-dimensional achievable rate region. To find efficient operating points in the achievable rate region, the Pareto boundary computation problem, which can be formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem, needs to be solved. The thesis transforms the multi-objective optimization problem to two single-objective optimization problems–single constraint rate maximization problem and alternating rate profile optimization problem, based on the formulations of the ε-constraint optimization and the weighted Chebyshev optimization, respectively. The thesis proposes two alternating optimization algorithms to solve both single-objective optimization problems. The convergence of both algorithms is guaranteed. Also, a heuristic initialization scheme is provided for each algorithm to achieve a high-quality solution. By varying the weights in each single-objective optimization problem, numerical results show that both algorithms provide an inner bound very close to the Pareto boundary. Furthermore, the thesis also computes some key points exactly on the Pareto boundary in closed-form.
A framework for interference alignment (IA) under limited feedback is proposed for a MIMO-IMAC. The MIMO-IMAC well matches the uplink scenario in cellular system, where multiple cells share their spectrum and operate simultaneously. In each cell, a BS receives the desired signals from multiple MSs within its own cell and each BS and each MS is equipped with multi-antenna. By allowing the inter-cell coordination, the thesis develops a distributed IA framework under limited feedback from three aspects: the GIA, the IA-Cell assignment and dynamic feedback bit allocation (DBA), respec- tively. Firstly, the thesis provides a complete study along with some new improvements of the GIA, which enables to compute the exact IA precoders in closed-form, based on local channel state information at the receiver (CSIR). Secondly, the concept of IA-Cell assignment is introduced and its effect on the achievable rate and degrees of freedom (DoF) performance is analyzed. Two distributed matching approaches and one centralized assignment approach are proposed to find a good IA-Cell assignment in three scenrios with different backhaul overhead. Thirdly, under limited feedback, the thesis derives an upper bound of the residual interference to noise ratio (RINR), formulates and solves a corresponding DBA problem. Finally, numerical results show that the proposed GIA with optimized IA-Cell assignment and the DBA greatly outperforms the traditional GIA algorithm
