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
Reliable multi-hop routing with cooperative transmissions in energy-constrained networks
We present a novel approach in characterizing the optimal reliable multi-hop virtual multiple-input single-output (vMISO) routing in ad hoc networks. Under a high node density regime, we determine the optimal cardinality of the cooperation
sets at each hop on a path minimizing the total energy cost per transmitted bit. Optimal cooperating set cardinality curves are derived, and they can be used to determine the optimal routing strategy based on the required reliability, transmission power, and path loss coefficient. We design a new greedy geographical
routing algorithm suitable for vMISO transmissions, and demonstrate the applicability of our results for more general networks
A Scalable VLSI Architecture for Soft-Input Soft-Output Depth-First Sphere Decoding
Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless transmission imposes huge
challenges on the design of efficient hardware architectures for iterative
receivers. A major challenge is soft-input soft-output (SISO) MIMO demapping,
often approached by sphere decoding (SD). In this paper, we introduce the - to
our best knowledge - first VLSI architecture for SISO SD applying a single
tree-search approach. Compared with a soft-output-only base architecture
similar to the one proposed by Studer et al. in IEEE J-SAC 2008, the
architectural modifications for soft input still allow a one-node-per-cycle
execution. For a 4x4 16-QAM system, the area increases by 57% and the operating
frequency degrades by 34% only.Comment: Accepted for IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II Express

Using Channel Output Feedback to Increase Throughput in Hybrid-ARQ
Hybrid-ARQ protocols have become common in many packet transmission systems
due to their incorporation in various standards. Hybrid-ARQ combines the normal
automatic repeat request (ARQ) method with error correction codes to increase
reliability and throughput. In this paper, we look at improving upon this
performance using feedback information from the receiver, in particular, using
a powerful forward error correction (FEC) code in conjunction with a proposed
linear feedback code for the Rayleigh block fading channels. The new hybrid-ARQ
scheme is initially developed for full received packet feedback in a
point-to-point link. It is then extended to various different multiple-antenna
scenarios (MISO/MIMO) with varying amounts of packet feedback information.
Simulations illustrate gains in throughput.Comment: 30 page
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.
