Bayesian robust linear transceiver design for dual-hop amplify-and-forward MIMO relay systems
In this paper, we address the robust linear transceiver design for dual-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) MIMO relay systems, where both transmitters and receivers have imperfect channel state information (CSI). With the statistics of channel estimation errors in the two hops being Gaussian, we formulate the robust linear-minimum-mean-square-error (LMMSE) transceiver design problem using the Bayesian framework, and derive a closed-form solution. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm reduces the sensitivity of the relay system to channel estimation errors, and performs better than the algorithm using estimated channel only.published_or_final_versionThe IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference (GLOBECOM 2009), Honolulu, HI., 30 November-4 December 2009.

Joint robust weighted LMMSE transceiver design for dual-hop AF multiple-antenna relay systems
In this paper, joint transceiver design for dual-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) MIMO relay systems with Gaussian distributed channel estimation errors in both two hops is investigated. Due to the fact that various linear transceiver designs can be transformed to a weighted linear minimum mean-square-error (LMMSE) transceiver design with specific weighting matrices, weighted mean square error (MSE) is chosen as the performance metric. Precoder matrix at source, forwarding matrix at relay and equalizer matrix at destination are jointly designed with channel estimation errors taken care of by Bayesian philosophy. Several existing algorithms are found to be special cases of the proposed solution. The performance advantage of the proposed robust design is demonstrated by the simulation results. © 2011 IEEE.published_or_final_versionThe 2011 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference (GLOBECOM 2011), Beijing, China, 5-9 December 2011.

Robust Beamforming for Amplify-and-Forward MIMO Relay Systems Based on Quadratic Matrix Programming
In this paper, robust transceiver design based on minimum-mean-square-error
(MMSE) criterion for dual-hop amplify-and-forward MIMO relay systems is
investigated. The channel estimation errors are modeled as Gaussian random
variables, and then the effect are incorporated into the robust transceiver
based on the Bayesian framework. An iterative algorithm is proposed to jointly
design the precoder at the source, the forward matrix at the relay and the
equalizer at the destination, and the joint design problem can be efficiently
solved by quadratic matrix programming (QMP).Comment: Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech,

A General Robust Linear Transceiver Design for Multi-Hop Amplify-and-Forward MIMO Relaying Systems
In this paper, linear transceiver design for multi-hop amplify-and-forward
(AF) multiple-input multiple-out (MIMO) relaying systems with Gaussian
distributed channel estimation errors is investigated. Commonly used
transceiver design criteria including weighted mean-square-error (MSE)
minimization, capacity maximization, worst-MSE/MAX-MSE minimization and
weighted sum-rate maximization, are considered and unified into a single
matrix-variate optimization problem. A general robust design algorithm is
proposed to solve the unified problem. Specifically, by exploiting majorization
theory and properties of matrix-variate functions, the optimal structure of the
robust transceiver is derived when either the covariance matrix of channel
estimation errors seen from the transmitter side or the corresponding
covariance matrix seen from the receiver side is proportional to an identity
matrix. Based on the optimal structure, the original transceiver design
problems are reduced to much simpler problems with only scalar variables whose
solutions are readily obtained by iterative water-filling algorithm. A number
of existing transceiver design algorithms are found to be special cases of the
proposed solution. The differences between our work and the existing related
work are also discussed in detail. The performance advantages of the proposed
robust designs are demonstrated by simulation results.Comment: 30 pages, 7 figures, Accepted by IEEE Transactions on Signal

Robust joint design of linear relay precoder and destination equalizer for dual-hop amplify-and-forward MIMO relay systems
This paper addresses the problem of robust linear relay precoder and destination equalizer design for a dual-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relay system, with Gaussian random channel uncertainties in both hops. By taking the channel uncertainties into account, two robust design algorithms are proposed to minimize the mean-square error (MSE) of the output signal at the destination. One is an iterative algorithm with its convergence proved analytically. The other is an approximated closed-form solution with much lower complexity than the iterative algorithm. Although the closed-form solution involves a minor relaxation for the general case, when the column covariance matrix of the channel estimation error at the second hop is proportional to identity matrix, no relaxation is needed and the proposed closed-form solution is the optimal solution. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms reduce the sensitivity of the AF MIMO relay systems to channel estimation errors, and perform better than the algorithm using estimated channels only. Furthermore, the closed-form solution provides a comparable performance to that of the iterative algorithm. © 2006 IEEE.published_or_final_versio
Maximum mutual information design for amplify-and-forward multi-hop MIMO relaying systems under channel uncertainties
Conference Theme: PHY and FundamentalsIn this paper, we investigate maximum mutual information design for multi-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) multiple-input multiple-out (MIMO) relaying systems with imperfect channel state information, i.e., Gaussian distributed channel estimation errors. The robust design is formulated as a matrix-variate optimization problem. Exploiting the elegant properties of Majorization theory and matrix-variate functions, the optimal structures of the forwarding matrices at the relays and precoding matrix at the source are derived. Based on the derived structures, a water-filling solution is proposed to solve the remaining unknown variables. © 2012 IEEE.published_or_final_versionThe 2012 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC), Paris, France, 1-4 April 2012.

Conference Theme: PHY and FundamentalsIn this paper, we consider the robust transceiver design with Tomlinson-Harashima precoding (THP) for multi-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relaying systems. THP is adopted at the source to mitigate the spatial inter-symbol interference and then a joint Bayesian robust design of THP at source, linear forwarding matrices at relays and linear equalizer at destination is proposed. Based on the elegant characteristics of multiplicative convexity and matrix-monotone functions, the optimal structure of the nonlinear transceiver is first derived. Based on the derived structure, the optimization problem is greatly simplified and can be efficiently solved. Finally, the performance advantage of the proposed robust design is assessed by simulation results. © 2012 IEEE.published_or_final_versionThe 2012 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC), Paris, France, 1-4 April 2012.

Transceiver Design for Dual-Hop Non-regenerative MIMO-OFDM Relay Systems Under Channel Uncertainties
In this paper, linear transceiver design for dual-hop non-regenerative
(amplify-and-forward (AF)) MIMO-OFDM systems under channel estimation errors is
investigated. Second order moments of channel estimation errors in the two hops
are first deduced. Then based on the Bayesian framework, joint design of linear
forwarding matrix at the relay and equalizer at the destination under channel
estimation errors is proposed to minimize the total mean-square-error (MSE) of
the output signal at the destination. The optimal designs for both correlated
and uncorrelated channel estimation errors are considered. The relationship
with existing algorithms is also disclosed. Moreover, this design is extended
to the joint design involving source precoder design. Simulation results show
that the proposed design outperforms the design based on estimated channel
state information only.Comment: 30 pages, 6 figures, IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, The

Robust Transceiver with Tomlinson-Harashima Precoding for Amplify-and-Forward MIMO Relaying Systems
In this paper, robust transceiver design with Tomlinson-Harashima precoding
(THP) for multi-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) multiple-input multiple-output
(MIMO) relaying systems is investigated. At source node, THP is adopted to
mitigate the spatial intersymbol interference. However, due to its nonlinear
nature, THP is very sensitive to channel estimation errors. In order to reduce
the effects of channel estimation errors, a joint Bayesian robust design of THP
at source, linear forwarding matrices at relays and linear equalizer at
destination is proposed. With novel applications of elegant characteristics of
multiplicative convexity and matrix-monotone functions, the optimal structure
of the nonlinear transceiver is first derived. Based on the derived structure,
the transceiver design problem reduces to a much simpler one with only scalar
variables which can be efficiently solved. Finally, the performance advantage
of the proposed robust design over non-robust design is demonstrated by
simulation results.Comment: IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications - Special Issue on
