Achievability of Nonlinear Degrees of Freedom in Correlatively Changing Fading Channels
A new approach toward the noncoherent communications over the time varying
fading channels is presented. In this approach, the relationship between the
input signal space and the output signal space of a correlatively changing
fading channel is shown to be a nonlinear mapping between manifolds of
different dimensions. Studying this mapping, it is shown that using nonlinear
decoding algorithms for single input-multiple output (SIMO) and multiple input
multiple output (MIMO) systems, extra numbers of degrees of freedom (DOF) are
available. We call them the nonlinear degrees of freedom
Impact of Mobility on MIMO Green Wireless Systems
This paper studies the impact of mobility on the power consumption of
wireless networks. With increasing mobility, we show that the network should
dedicate a non negligible fraction of the useful rate to estimate the different
degrees of freedom. In order to keep the rate constant, we quantify the
increase of power required for several cases of interest. In the case of a
point to point MIMO link, we calculate the minimum transmit power required for
a target rate and outage probability as a function of the coherence time and
the number of antennas. Interestingly, the results show that there is an
optimal number of antennas to be used for a given coherence time and power
consumption. This provides a lower bound limit on the minimum power required
for maintaining a green network.Comment: Accepted for EUSIPCO conference. 5 page
Interference, Cooperation and Connectivity - A Degrees of Freedom Perspective
We explore the interplay between interference, cooperation and connectivity
in heterogeneous wireless interference networks. Specifically, we consider a
4-user locally-connected interference network with pairwise clustered decoding
and show that its degrees of freedom (DoF) are bounded above by 12/5.
Interestingly, when compared to the corresponding fully connected setting which
is known to have 8/3 DoF, the locally connected network is only missing
interference-carrying links, but still has lower DoF, i.e., eliminating these
interference-carrying links reduces the DoF. The 12/5 DoF outer bound is
obtained through a novel approach that translates insights from interference
alignment over linear vector spaces into corresponding sub-modularity
relationships between entropy functions.Comment: Submitted to 2011 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory
