Cooperative Precoding with Limited Feedback for MIMO Interference Channels
Multi-antenna precoding effectively mitigates the interference in wireless
networks. However, the resultant performance gains can be significantly
compromised in practice if the precoder design fails to account for the
inaccuracy in the channel state information (CSI) feedback. This paper
addresses this issue by considering finite-rate CSI feedback from receivers to
their interfering transmitters in the two-user multiple-input-multiple-output
(MIMO) interference channel, called cooperative feedback, and proposing a
systematic method for designing transceivers comprising linear precoders and
equalizers. Specifically, each precoder/equalizer is decomposed into inner and
outer components for nulling the cross-link interference and achieving array
gain, respectively. The inner precoders/equalizers are further optimized to
suppress the residual interference resulting from finite-rate cooperative
feedback. Further- more, the residual interference is regulated by additional
scalar cooperative feedback signals that are designed to control transmission
power using different criteria including fixed interference margin and maximum
sum throughput. Finally, the required number of cooperative precoder feedback
bits is derived for limiting the throughput loss due to precoder quantization.Comment: 23 pages; 5 figures; this work was presented in part at Asilomar 2011

Transceiver design for single-cell and multi-cell downlink multiuser MIMO systems
This thesis designs linear transceivers for the down link multiple user
multiple input multiple output single-cell and multiple-cell systems. The
transceivers are designed by assuming perfect and imperfect channel state
information at the BS and mobile stations (MS). Different signal to
interference plus noise ratio, mean square error and rate-based design criteria
are considered. These design criteria are formulated by considering total BS,
per BS antenna, per user, per symbol or a combination of per BS antenna and per
user (symbol) power constraints. To solve these problems generalized down link
up link and down link interference duality approaches are proposed.
We have also shown that the weighted sum rate maximization problem can be
equivalently formulated as weighted sum mean square error minimization problem
with additional optimization variables and constraints. We also develop
distributed transceiver design algorithms to solve weighted sum rate and mean
square error optimization problems for coordinated BS systems. The distributed
transceiver design algorithms employ modify matrix fractional minimization and
Lagrangian dual decomposition methods.Comment: PhD Thesi
Joint Transceiver Design Algorithms for Multiuser MISO Relay Systems with Energy Harvesting
In this paper, we investigate a multiuser relay system with simultaneous
wireless information and power transfer. Assuming that both base station (BS)
and relay station (RS) are equipped with multiple antennas, this work studies
the joint transceiver design problem for the BS beamforming vectors, the RS
amplify-and-forward transformation matrix and the power splitting (PS) ratios
at the single-antenna receivers. Firstly, an iterative algorithm based on
alternating optimization (AO) and with guaranteed convergence is proposed to
successively optimize the transceiver coefficients. Secondly, a novel design
scheme based on switched relaying (SR) is proposed that can significantly
reduce the computational complexity and overhead of the AO based designs while
maintaining a similar performance. In the proposed SR scheme, the RS is
equipped with a codebook of permutation matrices. For each permutation matrix,
a latent transceiver is designed which consists of BS beamforming vectors,
optimally scaled RS permutation matrix and receiver PS ratios. For the given
CSI, the optimal transceiver with the lowest total power consumption is
selected for transmission. We propose a concave-convex procedure based and
subgradient-type iterative algorithms for the non-robust and robust latent
transceiver designs. Simulation results are presented to validate the
effectiveness of all the proposed algorithms
Generic Multiuser Coordinated Beamforming for Underlay Spectrum Sharing
The beamforming techniques have been recently studied as possible enablers
for underlay spectrum sharing. The existing beamforming techniques have several
common limitations: they are usually system model specific, cannot operate with
arbitrary number of transmit/receive antennas, and cannot serve arbitrary
number of users. Moreover, the beamforming techniques for underlay spectrum
sharing do not consider the interference originating from the incumbent primary
system. This work extends the common underlay sharing model by incorporating
the interference originating from the incumbent system into generic combined
beamforming design that can be applied on interference, broadcast or multiple
access channels. The paper proposes two novel multiuser beamforming algorithms
for user fairness and sum rate maximization, utilizing newly derived convex
optimization problems for transmit and receive beamformers calculation in a
recursive optimization. Both beamforming algorithms provide efficient operation
for the interference, broadcast and multiple access channels, as well as for
arbitrary number of antennas and secondary users in the system. Furthermore,
the paper proposes a successive transmit/receive optimization approach that
reduces the computational complexity of the proposed recursive algorithms. The
results show that the proposed complexity reduction significantly improves the
convergence rates and can facilitate their operation in scenarios which require
agile beamformers computation.Comment: 30 pages, 5 figure
Pilot Optimization and Channel Estimation for Multiuser Massive MIMO Systems
This paper proposes novel pilot optimization and channel estimation algorithm
for the downlink multiuser massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system
with decentralized single antenna mobile stations (MSs), and time division
duplex (TDD) channel estimation which is performed by utilizing pilot
symbols. The proposed algorithm is explained as follows. First, we formulate
the channel estimation problem as a weighted sum mean square error (WSMSE)
minimization problem containing pilot symbols and introduced variables. Second,
for fixed pilot symbols, the introduced variables are optimized using minimum
mean square error (MMSE) and generalized Rayleigh quotient methods. Finally,
for and settings, the pilot symbols of all MSs are optimized using
semi definite programming (SDP) convex optimization approach, and for the other
settings of and , the pilot symbols of all MSs are optimized by applying
simple iterative algorithm. When , it is shown that the latter iterative
algorithm gives the optimal pilot symbols achieved by the SDP method.
Simulation results confirm that the proposed algorithm achieves less WSMSE
compared to that of the conventional semi-orthogonal pilot symbol and MMSE
channel estimation algorithm which creates pilot contamination.Comment: Accepted in CISS 2014 Conferenc
