Sum Throughput Maximization in Multi-Tag Backscattering to Multiantenna Reader
Backscatter communication (BSC) is being realized as the core technology for
pervasive sustainable Internet-of-Things applications. However, owing to the
resource-limitations of passive tags, the efficient usage of multiple antennas
at the reader is essential for both downlink excitation and uplink detection.
This work targets at maximizing the achievable sum-backscattered-throughput by
jointly optimizing the transceiver (TRX) design at the reader and
backscattering coefficients (BC) at the tags. Since, this joint problem is
nonconvex, we first present individually-optimal designs for the TRX and BC. We
show that with precoder and {combiner} designs at the reader respectively
targeting downlink energy beamforming and uplink Wiener filtering operations,
the BC optimization at tags can be reduced to a binary power control problem.
Next, the asymptotically-optimal joint-TRX-BC designs are proposed for both low
and high signal-to-noise-ratio regimes. Based on these developments, an
iterative low-complexity algorithm is proposed to yield an efficient
jointly-suboptimal design. Thereafter, we discuss the practical utility of the
proposed designs to other application settings like wireless powered
communication networks and BSC with imperfect channel state information.
Lastly, selected numerical results, validating the analysis and shedding novel
insights, demonstrate that the proposed designs can yield significant
enhancement in the sum-backscattered throughput over existing benchmarks.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figures, accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on

On the Throughput of Large-but-Finite MIMO Networks using Schedulers
This paper studies the sum throughput of the {multi-user}
multiple-input-single-output (MISO) networks in the cases with large but finite
number of transmit antennas and users. Considering continuous and bursty
communication scenarios with different users' data request probabilities, we
derive quasi-closed-form expressions for the maximum achievable throughput of
the networks using optimal schedulers. The results are obtained in various
cases with different levels of interference cancellation. Also, we develop an
efficient scheduling scheme using genetic algorithms (GAs), and evaluate the
effect of different parameters, such as channel/precoding models, number of
antennas/users, scheduling costs and power amplifiers' efficiency, on the
system performance. Finally, we use the recent results on the achievable rates
of finite block-length codes to analyze the system performance in the cases
with short packets. As demonstrated, the proposed GA-based scheduler reaches
(almost) the same throughput as in the exhaustive search-based optimal
scheduler, with substantially less implementation complexity. Moreover, the
power amplifiers' inefficiency and the scheduling delay affect the performance
of the scheduling-based systems significantly

Previous works on hybrid precoding were usually based on optimization or greedy approaches. These methods either provide higher complexity or have sub-optimum performance. Moreover, the performance of these methods mostly relies on the quality of the channel data. In this work, we propose a deep learning (DL) framework to improve the performance and provide less computation time as compared to conventional techniques. In fact, we design a convolutional neural network for MIMO (CNN-MIMO) that accepts as input an imperfect channel matrix and gives the analog precoder and combiners at the output. The procedure includes two main stages. First, we develop an exhaustive search algorithm to select the analog precoder and combiners from a predefined codebook maximizing the achievable sum-rate. Then, the selected precoder and combiners are used as output labels in the training stage of CNN-MIMO where the input-output pairs are obtained. We evaluate the performance of the proposed method through numerous and extensive simulations and show that the proposed DL framework outperforms conventional techniques. Overall, CNN-MIMO provides a robust hybrid precoding scheme in the presence of imperfections regarding the channel matrix. On top of this, the proposed approach exhibits less computation time with comparison to the optimization and codebook based approaches.Peer reviewe
Multiuser Millimeter Wave Beamforming Strategies with Quantized and Statistical CSIT
To alleviate the high cost of hardware in mmWave systems, hybrid
analog/digital precoding is typically employed. In the conventional two-stage
feedback scheme, the analog beamformer is determined by beam search and
feedback to maximize the desired signal power of each user. The digital
precoder is designed based on quantization and feedback of effective channel to
mitigate multiuser interference. Alternatively, we propose a one-stage feedback
scheme which effectively reduces the complexity of the signalling and feedback
procedure. Specifically, the second-order channel statistics are leveraged to
design digital precoder for interference mitigation while all feedback overhead
is reserved for precise analog beamforming. Under a fixed total feedback
constraint, we investigate the conditions under which the one-stage feedback
scheme outperforms the conventional two-stage counterpart. Moreover, a rate
splitting (RS) transmission strategy is introduced to further tackle the
multiuser interference and enhance the rate performance. Consider (1) RS
precoded by the one-stage feedback scheme and (2) conventional transmission
strategy precoded by the two-stage scheme with the same first-stage feedback as
(1) and also certain amount of extra second-stage feedback. We show that (1)
can achieve a sum rate comparable to that of (2). Hence, RS enables remarkable
saving in the second-stage training and feedback overhead.Comment: submitted to TW
