Conditional Entropy based User Selection for Multiuser MIMO Systems
We consider the problem of user subset selection for maximizing the sum rate
of downlink multi-user MIMO systems. The brute-force search for the optimal
user set becomes impractical as the total number of users in a cell increase.
We propose a user selection algorithm based on conditional differential
entropy. We apply the proposed algorithm on Block diagonalization scheme.
Simulation results show that the proposed conditional entropy based algorithm
offers better alternatives than the existing user selection algorithms.
Furthermore, in terms of sum rate, the solution obtained by the proposed
algorithm turns out to be close to the optimal solution with significantly
lower computational complexity than brute-force search.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
User Selection in MIMO Interfering Broadcast Channels
Interference alignment aims to achieve maximum degrees of freedom in an
interference system. For achieving Interference alignment in interfering
broadcast systems a closed-form solution is proposed in [1] which is an
extension of the grouping scheme in [2]. In a downlink scenario where there are
a large number of users, the base station is required to select a subset of
users such that the sum rate is maximized. To search for the optimal user
subset using brute-force approach is computationally exhaustive because of the
large number of possible user subset combinations. We propose a user selection
algorithm achieving sum rate close to that of optimal solution. The algorithm
employs coordinate ascent approach and exploits orthogonality between the
desired signal space and the interference channel space in the reciprocal
system to select the user at each step. For the sake of completeness, we have
also extended the sum rate approach based algorithm to Interfering broadcast
channel. The complexity of both these algorithms is shown to be linear with
respect to the total number of users as compared to exponential in brute-force
search.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figure
Objective Information Theory: A Sextuple Model and 9 Kinds of Metrics
In the contemporary era, the importance of information is undisputed, but
there has never been a common understanding of information, nor a unanimous
conclusion to the researches on information metrics. Based on the previous
studies, this paper analyzes the important achievements in the researches of
the properties and metrics of information as well as their main
insufficiencies, and explores the essence and connotation, the mathematical
expressions and other basic problems related to information. On the basis of
the understanding of the objectivity of information, it proposes the
definitions and a Sextuple model of information; discusses the basic properties
of information, and brings forward the definitions and mathematical expressions
of nine kinds of metrics of information, i.e., extensity, detailedness,
sustainability, containability, delay, richness, distribution, validity and
matchability. Through these, this paper establishes a basic theory frame of
Objective Information Theory to support the analysis and research on
information and information system systematically and comprehensively.Comment: 20 page
