Fundamental Limits in Correlated Fading MIMO Broadcast Channels: Benefits of Transmit Correlation Diversity
We investigate asymptotic capacity limits of the Gaussian MIMO broadcast
channel (BC) with spatially correlated fading to understand when and how much
transmit correlation helps the capacity. By imposing a structure on channel
covariances (equivalently, transmit correlations at the transmitter side) of
users, also referred to as \emph{transmit correlation diversity}, the impact of
transmit correlation on the power gain of MIMO BCs is characterized in several
regimes of system parameters, with a particular interest in the large-scale
array (or massive MIMO) regime. Taking the cost for downlink training into
account, we provide asymptotic capacity bounds of multiuser MIMO downlink
systems to see how transmit correlation diversity affects the system
multiplexing gain. We make use of the notion of joint spatial division and
multiplexing (JSDM) to derive the capacity bounds. It is advocated in this
paper that transmit correlation diversity may be of use to significantly
increase multiplexing gain as well as power gain in multiuser MIMO systems. In
particular, the new type of diversity in wireless communications is shown to
improve the system multiplexing gain up to by a factor of the number of degrees
of such diversity. Finally, performance limits of conventional large-scale MIMO
systems not exploiting transmit correlation are also characterized.Comment: 29 pages, 8 figure
Integer-Forcing MIMO Linear Receivers Based on Lattice Reduction
A new architecture called integer-forcing (IF) linear receiver has been
recently proposed for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) fading channels,
wherein an appropriate integer linear combination of the received symbols has
to be computed as a part of the decoding process. In this paper, we propose a
method based on Hermite-Korkine-Zolotareff (HKZ) and Minkowski lattice basis
reduction algorithms to obtain the integer coefficients for the IF receiver. We
show that the proposed method provides a lower bound on the ergodic rate, and
achieves the full receive diversity. Suitability of complex
Lenstra-Lenstra-Lovasz (LLL) lattice reduction algorithm (CLLL) to solve the
problem is also investigated. Furthermore, we establish the connection between
the proposed IF linear receivers and lattice reduction-aided MIMO detectors
(with equivalent complexity), and point out the advantages of the former class
of receivers over the latter. For the and MIMO
channels, we compare the coded-block error rate and bit error rate of the
proposed approach with that of other linear receivers. Simulation results show
that the proposed approach outperforms the zero-forcing (ZF) receiver, minimum
mean square error (MMSE) receiver, and the lattice reduction-aided MIMO
detectors.Comment: 9 figures and 11 pages. Modified the title, abstract and some parts
of the paper. Major change from v1: Added new results on applicability of the

Precoded Integer-Forcing Universally Achieves the MIMO Capacity to Within a Constant Gap
An open-loop single-user multiple-input multiple-output communication scheme
is considered where a transmitter, equipped with multiple antennas, encodes the
data into independent streams all taken from the same linear code. The coded
streams are then linearly precoded using the encoding matrix of a perfect
linear dispersion space-time code. At the receiver side, integer-forcing
equalization is applied, followed by standard single-stream decoding. It is
shown that this communication architecture achieves the capacity of any
Gaussian multiple-input multiple-output channel up to a gap that depends only
on the number of transmit antennas.Comment: to appear in the IEEE Transactions on Information Theor
