Limiting Performance of Conventional and Widely Linear DFT-precoded-OFDM Receivers in Wideband Frequency Selective Channels
This paper describes the limiting behavior of linear and decision feedback
equalizers (DFEs) in single/multiple antenna systems employing
real/complex-valued modulation alphabets. The wideband frequency selective
channel is modeled using a Rayleigh fading channel model with infinite number
of time domain channel taps. Using this model, we show that the considered
equalizers offer a fixed post signal-to-noise-ratio (post-SNR) at the equalizer
output that is close to the matched filter bound (MFB). General expressions for
the post-SNR are obtained for zero-forcing (ZF) based conventional receivers as
well as for the case of receivers employing widely linear (WL) processing.
Simulation is used to study the bit error rate (BER) performance of both MMSE
and ZF based receivers. Results show that the considered receivers
advantageously exploit the rich frequency selective channel to mitigate both
fading and inter-symbol-interference (ISI) while offering a performance
comparable to the MFB
Impact of Channel Estimation Errors on Multiuser Detection via the Replica Method
For practical wireless DS-CDMA systems, channel estimation is imperfect due
to noise and interference. In this paper, the impact of channel estimation
errors on multiuser detection (MUD) is analyzed under the framework of the
replica method. System performance is obtained in the large system limit for
optimal MUD, linear MUD and turbo MUD, and is validated by numerical results
for finite systems.Comment: To appear in the EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communication and

Relay Selection with Network Coding in Two-Way Relay Channels
In this paper, we consider the design of joint network coding (NC)and relay
selection (RS) in two-way relay channels. In the proposed schemes, two users
first sequentially broadcast their respective information to all the relays. We
propose two RS schemes, a single relay selection with NC and a dual relay
selection with NC. For both schemes, the selected relay(s) perform NC on the
received signals sent from the two users and forward them to both users. The
proposed schemes are analyzed and the exact bit error rate (BER) expressions
are derived and verified through Monte Carlo simulations. It is shown that the
dual relay selection with NC outperforms other considered relay selection
schemes in two-way relay channels. The results also reveal that the proposed NC
relay selection schemes provide a selection gain compared to a NC scheme with
no relay selection, and a network coding gain relative to a conventional relay
selection scheme with no NC.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figure
Scaling up MIMO: Opportunities and Challenges with Very Large Arrays
This paper surveys recent advances in the area of very large MIMO systems.
With very large MIMO, we think of systems that use antenna arrays with an
order of magnitude more elements than in systems being built today, say a
hundred antennas or more. Very large MIMO entails an unprecedented number of
antennas simultaneously serving a much smaller number of terminals. The
disparity in number emerges as a desirable operating condition and a practical
one as well. The number of terminals that can be simultaneously served is
limited, not by the number of antennas, but rather by our inability to acquire
channel-state information for an unlimited number of terminals. Larger numbers
of terminals can always be accommodated by combining very large MIMO technology
with conventional time- and frequency-division multiplexing via OFDM. Very
large MIMO arrays is a new research field both in communication theory,
propagation, and electronics and represents a paradigm shift in the way of
thinking both with regards to theory, systems and implementation. The ultimate
vision of very large MIMO systems is that the antenna array would consist of
small active antenna units, plugged into an (optical) fieldbus.Comment: Accepted for publication in the IEEE Signal Processing Magazine,
