CSI feedback in correlated slow-fading channels
This letter studies the effect of quantized channel state information (CSI) feedback on the average rate of correlated channels. Demonstrating the general rate optimization problem, the results are obtained for both delayed and delay-free feedback conditions under different short- and long-term power allocation strategies. We also evaluate the effect of adaptive CSI quantization on the channel average rate. Analytical and numerical results show that exploiting the channel memory not only increases the forward channel data transmission efficiency but also can lead to dramatic feedback rate reduction
On the Required Number of Antennas in a Point-to-Point Large-but-Finite MIMO System: Outage-Limited Scenario
This paper investigates the performance of the point-to-point
multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems in the presence of a large but
finite numbers of antennas at the transmitters and/or receivers. Considering
the cases with and without hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback, we
determine the minimum numbers of the transmit/receive antennas which are
required to satisfy different outage probability constraints. Our results are
obtained for different fading conditions and the effect of the power amplifiers
efficiency on the performance of the MIMO-HARQ systems is analyzed. Moreover,
we derive closed-form expressions for the asymptotic performance of the
MIMO-HARQ systems when the number of antennas increases. Our analytical and
numerical results show that different outage requirements can be satisfied with
relatively few transmit/receive antennas.Comment: Under review in IEEE Transactions on Communication
Reinforcement-based data transmission in temporally-correlated fading channels: Partial CSIT scenario
Reinforcement algorithms refer to the schemes where the results of the
previous trials and a reward-punishment rule are used for parameter setting in
the next steps. In this paper, we use the concept of reinforcement algorithms
to develop different data transmission models in wireless networks. Considering
temporally-correlated fading channels, the results are presented for the cases
with partial channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT). As
demonstrated, the implementation of reinforcement algorithms improves the
performance of communication setups remarkably, with the same feedback
load/complexity as in the state-of-the-art schemes.Comment: Accepted for publication in ISWCS 201
A Differential Feedback Scheme Exploiting the Temporal and Spectral Correlation
Channel state information (CSI) provided by limited feedback channel can be
utilized to increase the system throughput. However, in multiple input multiple
output (MIMO) systems, the signaling overhead realizing this CSI feedback can
be quite large, while the capacity of the uplink feedback channel is typically
limited. Hence, it is crucial to reduce the amount of feedback bits. Prior work
on limited feedback compression commonly adopted the block fading channel model
where only temporal or spectral correlation in wireless channel is considered.
In this paper, we propose a differential feedback scheme with full use of the
temporal and spectral correlations to reduce the feedback load. Then, the
minimal differential feedback rate over MIMO doubly selective fading channel is
investigated. Finally, the analysis is verified by simulations
Coded DS-CDMA Systems with Iterative Channel Estimation and no Pilot Symbols
In this paper, we describe direct-sequence code-division multiple-access
(DS-CDMA) systems with quadriphase-shift keying in which channel estimation,
coherent demodulation, and decoding are iteratively performed without the use
of any training or pilot symbols. An expectation-maximization
channel-estimation algorithm for the fading amplitude, phase, and the
interference power spectral density (PSD) due to the combined interference and
thermal noise is proposed for DS-CDMA systems with irregular repeat-accumulate
codes. After initial estimates of the fading amplitude, phase, and interference
PSD are obtained from the received symbols, subsequent values of these
parameters are iteratively updated by using the soft feedback from the channel
decoder. The updated estimates are combined with the received symbols and
iteratively passed to the decoder. The elimination of pilot symbols simplifies
the system design and allows either an enhanced information throughput, an
improved bit error rate, or greater spectral efficiency. The interference-PSD
estimation enables DS-CDMA systems to significantly suppress interference.Comment: To appear, IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communication
Green Communication via Power-optimized HARQ Protocols
Recently, efficient use of energy has become an essential research topic for
green communication. This paper studies the effect of optimal power controllers
on the performance of delay-sensitive communication setups utilizing hybrid
automatic repeat request (HARQ). The results are obtained for repetition time
diversity (RTD) and incremental redundancy (INR) HARQ protocols. In all cases,
the optimal power allocation, minimizing the outage-limited average
transmission power, is obtained under both continuous and bursting
communication models. Also, we investigate the system throughput in different
conditions. The results indicate that the power efficiency is increased
substantially, if adaptive power allocation is utilized. For instance, assume
Rayleigh-fading channel, a maximum of two (re)transmission rounds with rates
nats-per-channel-use and an outage probability constraint
. Then, compared to uniform power allocation, optimal power
allocation in RTD reduces the average power by 9 and 11 dB in the bursting and
continuous communication models, respectively. In INR, these values are
obtained to be 8 and 9 dB, respectively.Comment: Accepted for publication on IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technolog
