Delay Constrained Throughput Analysis of a Correlated MIMO Wireless Channel
The maximum traffic arrival rate at the network for a given delay guarantee
(delay constrained throughput) has been well studied for wired channels.
However, few results are available for wireless channels, especially when
multiple antennas are employed at the transmitter and receiver. In this work,
we analyze the network delay constrained throughput of a multiple input
multiple output (MIMO) wireless channel with time-varying spatial correlation.
The MIMO channel is modeled via its virtual representation, where the
individual spatial paths between the antenna pairs are Gilbert-Elliot channels.
The whole system is then described by a K-State Markov chain, where K depends
upon the degree of freedom (DOF) of the channel. We prove that the DOF based
modeling is indeed accurate. Furthermore, we study the impact of the delay
requirements at the network layer, violation probability and the number of
antennas on the throughput under different fading speeds and signal strength.Comment: Submitted to ICCCN 2011, 8 pages, 5 figure
Two-Stage Subspace Constrained Precoding in Massive MIMO Cellular Systems
We propose a subspace constrained precoding scheme that exploits the spatial
channel correlation structure in massive MIMO cellular systems to fully unleash
the tremendous gain provided by massive antenna array with reduced channel
state information (CSI) signaling overhead. The MIMO precoder at each base
station (BS) is partitioned into an inner precoder and a Transmit (Tx) subspace
control matrix. The inner precoder is adaptive to the local CSI at each BS for
spatial multiplexing gain. The Tx subspace control is adaptive to the channel
statistics for inter-cell interference mitigation and Quality of Service (QoS)
optimization. Specifically, the Tx subspace control is formulated as a QoS
optimization problem which involves an SINR chance constraint where the
probability of each user's SINR not satisfying a service requirement must not
exceed a given outage probability. Such chance constraint cannot be handled by
the existing methods due to the two stage precoding structure. To tackle this,
we propose a bi-convex approximation approach, which consists of three key
ingredients: random matrix theory, chance constrained optimization and
semidefinite relaxation. Then we propose an efficient algorithm to find the
optimal solution of the resulting bi-convex approximation problem. Simulations
show that the proposed design has significant gain over various baselines.Comment: 13 pages, accepted by IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communication

Spatial data stream multiplexing scheme for high-throughput WLANs
A novel scheme using spatial data stream multiplexing (SDSM) in the upcoming multiple-input multipleoutput (MIMO)-based IEEE 802.11n physical layer is proposed. It is shown that with SDSM, the same data rate can be achieved by using less number of transmit and receive antennas and therefore this scheme can reduce the number of antennas which results in reducing mutual coupling effects, hardware costs and implementation complexities. The maximum data rates that can be achieved using a 2 * 2 MIMO system is 270 Mbps and for a 4 * 4 MIMO system is 540 Mbps. The same data rates can be achieved using the SDSM technique which reduces the 2 * 2 MIMO system to 1 * 1 SISO system and the 4 * 4 MIMO system to a 2 * 2 MIMO system
Delay Performance of MISO Wireless Communications
Ultra-reliable, low latency communications (URLLC) are currently attracting
significant attention due to the emergence of mission-critical applications and
device-centric communication. URLLC will entail a fundamental paradigm shift
from throughput-oriented system design towards holistic designs for guaranteed
and reliable end-to-end latency. A deep understanding of the delay performance
of wireless networks is essential for efficient URLLC systems. In this paper,
we investigate the network layer performance of multiple-input, single-output
(MISO) systems under statistical delay constraints. We provide closed-form
expressions for MISO diversity-oriented service process and derive
probabilistic delay bounds using tools from stochastic network calculus. In
particular, we analyze transmit beamforming with perfect and imperfect channel
knowledge and compare it with orthogonal space-time codes and antenna
selection. The effect of transmit power, number of antennas, and finite
blocklength channel coding on the delay distribution is also investigated. Our
higher layer performance results reveal key insights of MISO channels and
provide useful guidelines for the design of ultra-reliable communication
systems that can guarantee the stringent URLLC latency requirements.Comment: This work has been submitted to the IEEE for possible publication.

Fronthaul-Constrained Cloud Radio Access Networks: Insights and Challenges
As a promising paradigm for fifth generation (5G) wireless communication
systems, cloud radio access networks (C-RANs) have been shown to reduce both
capital and operating expenditures, as well as to provide high spectral
efficiency (SE) and energy efficiency (EE). The fronthaul in such networks,
defined as the transmission link between a baseband unit (BBU) and a remote
radio head (RRH), requires high capacity, but is often constrained. This
article comprehensively surveys recent advances in fronthaul-constrained
C-RANs, including system architectures and key techniques. In particular, key
techniques for alleviating the impact of constrained fronthaul on SE/EE and
quality of service for users, including compression and quantization,
large-scale coordinated processing and clustering, and resource allocation
optimization, are discussed. Open issues in terms of software-defined
networking, network function virtualization, and partial centralization are
also identified.Comment: 5 Figures, accepted by IEEE Wireless Communications. arXiv admin
