Performance analysis of diversity techniques in wireless communication systems: Cooperative systems with CCI and MIMO-OFDM systems

This Dissertation analyzes the performance of ecient digital commu- nication systems, the performance analysis includes the bit error rate (BER) of dier- ent binary and M-ary modulation schemes, and the average channel capacity (ACC) under dierent adaptive transmission protocols, namely, the simultaneous power and rate adaptation protocol (OPRA), the optimal rate with xed power protocol (ORA), the channel inversion with xed rate protocol (CIFR), and the truncated channel in- version with xed transmit power protocol (CTIFR). In this dissertation, BER and ACC performance of interference-limited dual-hop decode-and-forward (DF) relay- ing cooperative systems with co-channel interference (CCI) at both the relay and destination nodes is analyzed in small-scale multipath Nakagami-m fading channels with arbitrary (integer as well as non-integer) values of m. This channel condition is assumed for both the desired signal as well as co-channel interfering signals. In addition, the practical case of unequal average fading powers between the two hops is assumed in the analysis. The analysis assumes an arbitrary number of indepen- dent and non-identically distributed (i.n.i.d.) interfering signals at both relay (R) and destination (D) nodes. Also, the work extended to the case when the receiver employs the maximum ratio combining (MRC) and the equal gain combining (EGC) schemes to exploit the diversity gain

Performance evaluation for communication systems with receive diversity and interference

Optimum combining (OC) is a well-known coherent detection technique used to combat fading and suppress cochannel interference. In this dissertation, expressions are developed to evaluate the error probability of OC for systems with multiple interferers and multiple receiving branches. Three approaches are taken to derive the expressions. The first one starts from the decision metrics of OC. It facilitates obtaining closed-form expressions for binary phase-shift keying modulation. The second approach utilizes the moment generating function of the output signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) and results in expressions for symbol and bit error probability for multiple phaseshift keying modulation. The third method uses the probability density function of the output SINR and arrives at expressions of symbol error probability for systems where the interferers may have unequal power levels. Throughout the derivation, it is assumed that the channels are independent Rayleigh fading channels. With these expressions, evaluating the error probability of OC is fast, easy and accurate. Two noncoherent detection schemes based on the multiple symbol differential detection (MSDD) technique are also developed for systems with multiple interferers and multiple receiving branches. The first MSDD scheme is developed for systems where the channel gain of the desired signal is unknown to the receiver, but the covariance matrix of the interference plus noise is known. The maximum-likelihood decision statistic is derived for the detector. The performance of MSDD is demonstrated by analysis and simulation. A sub-optimum decision feedback algorithm is presented to reduce the computation complexity of the MSDD decision statistic. This suboptimum algorithm achieves performance that is very close to that of the optimum algorithm. It can be shown that with an increasing observation interval, the performance of this kind of MSDD approaches that of OC with differential encoding. The second MSDD scheme is developed for the case in which the only required channel information is the channel gain of the interference. It is shown that when the interference power level is high, this MSDD technique can achieve good performance

Maximal Ratio Transmission in Wireless Poisson Networks under Spatially Correlated Fading Channels

The downlink of a wireless network where multi-antenna base stations (BSs) communicate with single-antenna mobile stations (MSs) using maximal ratio transmission (MRT) is considered here. The locations of BSs are modeled by a homogeneous Poisson point process (PPP) and the channel gains between the multiple antennas of each BS and the single antenna of each MS are modeled as spatially arbitrarily correlated Rayleigh random variables. We first present novel closed-form expressions for the distribution of the power of the interference resulting from the coexistence of one intended and one unintended MRT over the considered correlated fading channels. The derived expressions are then used to obtain closed-form expressions for the success probability and area spectral efficiency of the wireless communication network under investigation. Simulation results corroborate the validity of the presented expressions. A key result of this work is that the effect of spatial correlation on the network throughput may be contrasting depending on the density of BSs, the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) level, and the background noise power.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures, IEEE GLOBECOM 201

학위논문 (박사)-- 서울대학교 대학원 : 전기·컴퓨터공학부, 2014. 8. 이재홍.무선 중계 기술은 차세대 통신 시스템에서 요구되는 높은 서비스 품질/데이터 전송률 달성을 위한 가장 중요한 기술 중 하나이다. 중계 기술이 갖고 있는 다양한 장점으로 인해 중계 기술은 지금까지 IEEE 802.16j 및 3GPP LTE-Advanced 등의 무선통신 시스템 표준에 반영되기도 하였다. 그러나 실질적인 무선 중계 네트워크의 프로토콜 개발을 위해서는 여전히 해결해야하는 많은 문제들이 있다. 특히 대형셀과 소형셀이 동시에 존재하는 중첩셀 네트워크에서 이웃한 대형셀 및 소형셀로부터 받게되는 동일채널간섭은 차세대 무선통신 시스템의 성능을 저하시키는 주요 제한 요소인데 아직 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 또한 전이중 중계 네트워크에서 단말기의 송신안테나에서 수신안테나로 들어오는 동일채널 루프간섭은 전이중 중계 네트워크의 성능을 결정하는 중요한 요소로 추가적인 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 동일채널간섭을 포함한 양방향 중계 네트워크, 동일채널 루프간섭을 포함한 양방향 전이중 중계 네트워크 및 무선 인지 다중 홉 네트워크의 성능을 분석하며, 주요한 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 셀룰러 환경에서 높은 주파수 재사용율로 인해 발생한 동일채널간섭이 존재하는 양방향 중계 네트워크의 성능을 분석한다. 이때 임의의 한 사용자가 불능 사건이 발생하는 시나리오(개별 사용자 불능), 전체 사용자가 동시에 불능 사건이 발생한 시나리오(전체 사용자 불능)의 두 가지에 대해 성능을 분석한다. 여기에서 각 시나리오에 대하여 개별 사용자 불능 확률 및 전체 사용자 불능 확률을 폐형으로 유도한다. 모의실험을 통해 얻어진 불능 확률이 유도한 불능 확률 값과 일치함을 확인한다. 또한 동일채널간섭을 발생하는 인접 셀의 사용자가 늘어날수록 개별 사용자 불능 확률 및 전체 사용자 불능 확률이 증가함을 확인한다. 둘째, 동일채널 루프간섭이 존재하는 전이중 양방향 중계 네트워크를 연구한다. 여기에서 두 전이중 방식의 사용자들이 전이중 방식의 중계기를 이용하여 서로 신호를 교환한다. 이때 각 단말기들은 자신의 수신 신호에서 루프간섭 신호의 추정치를 제거한다. 단말기들이 채널 상태 정보를 정확하게 혹은 부정확하게 알고 있는 경우에 전이중 양방향 중계 네트워크의 불능 확률을 정확한 적분 표현 및 근사적 폐형 표현으로 유도한다. 모의실험을 통해 얻어지 결과가 유도한 수식과 일치함을 확인한다. 셋째, 대형셀과 소형셀이 동시에 존재하는 중첩셀 네트워크를 연구한다. 특히 인접 대형셀 및 소형셀에서 발생한 동일채널간섭이 존재하는 무선 인지 기반 다중 홉 소형셀 네트워크의 불능 확률을 분석한다. 모의실험을 통해 얻어진 불능 확률을 통해 유도한 불능 확률을 검증한다. 유도한 불능 확률 값과 모의실험을 통해 얻어진 불능 확률 값이 일치함을 확인한다. 대형셀의 수가 증가할수록 불능 확률이 증가함을 확인한다.Wireless relay technology is one of the most promising technologies for the future communication systems which provide higher data rate and better quality of service (QoS). Thanks to its advantages, it has been adopted in wireless standards such as IEEE 802.16j and 3GPP LTE-Advanced. However, there are still many challenges to be addressed for developing protocols of wireless relay networks. Especially, in multitier cellular networks (e.g. small cell underlaid macro cell), cochannel interference from multiple interferers in other macro cells and neighboring small cells is one of the major limiting factors due to frequency reuse for high spectrum utilization. In the full-duplex relay networks, cochannel loop interference from a transmit antenna to a receive antenna of a terminal is an important limiting factor to determine the performance of full-duplex relay networks. The dissertation consists of three main results. First, we analyze the performance of a two-way relay network experiencing cochannel interference from multiple interferers due to frequency reuse in cellular networks. In the two-way relay network, two users exchange their information with the help of an amplify-and-forward (AF) relay. We discuss two different scenarios: Outages are declared individually for each user (individual outage) and an outage is declared simultaneously for all users (common outage). We derive the closed-form expression for the individual outage probability and the exact integral expression for the common outage probability of the two-way relay network with multiple interferers. The validity of our analytical results is verified by a comparison with simulation results. It is shown that the analytical results perfectly match the simulation results of the individual and common outage probabilities. Also, it is shown that the individual and common outage probabilities increase as the number of interferers increases. Second, we investigate two-way full-duplex relaying with cochannel loop interference. In the two-way full-duplex relaying, two full-duplex users exchange data with each other via a full-duplex relay and each node attempts to subtract the estimate of the cochannel loop interference from its received signal. We derive the exact integral and approximate closed-form expressions for the outage probability of the two-way full-duplex relaying in case of perfect and imperfect channel state information. Monte Carlo simulation verifies the validity of analytical results. Third, we investigate a cognitive small cell network which is overlaid with a cellular network. We analyze the performance of the cognitive small cell network in the presence of cochannel interference from the cellular network. Analytical results are verified by Monte Carlo simulations. It is shown that the analytical results are in complete agreement with simulation results. It is shown that the outage probability increases as the number of cells increases.Abstract 1 Introduction 1.1 Background and Related Works 1.1.1 Relay Technology 1.1.2 Cognitive Radio 1.2 Outline of Dissertation 1.3 Notations 2 Two-Way Relay Network with Cochannel Interference 2.1 System Model 2.2 Outage Probability Derivation 2.2.1 Moment Generating Functions 2.2.2 Individual Outage Probability 2.2.3 Common Outage Probability 2.3 Numerical Results 2.4 Summary 3 Two-Way Full-Duplex Relaying with Cochannel Loop Interference 3.1 System Model 3.2 Outage Probability Derivation 3.2.1 Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio 3.2.2 Cumulative Density Function 3.2.3 Outage Probability 3.3 Numerical Results 3.4 Summary 4 Multi-hop Cognitive Radio Network with Cochannel Interference 4.1 System Model 4.2 Outage Probability Derivation 4.2.1 Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio 4.2.2 Cumulative Density Function 4.2.3 Outage Probability 4.3 Numerical Results 4.4 Summary 5 Conclusions 5.1 Summary 5.2 Future Works Bibliography Korean Abstract AcknowledgmentsDocto
