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
Bits About the Channel: Multi-round Protocols for Two-way Fading Channels
Most communication systems use some form of feedback, often related to
channel state information. In this paper, we study diversity multiplexing
tradeoff for both FDD and TDD systems, when both receiver and transmitter
knowledge about the channel is noisy and potentially mismatched. For FDD
systems, we first extend the achievable tradeoff region for 1.5 rounds of
message passing to get higher diversity compared to the best known scheme, in
the regime of higher multiplexing gains. We then break the mold of all current
channel state based protocols by using multiple rounds of conferencing to
extract more bits about the actual channel. This iterative refinement of the
channel increases the diversity order with every round of communication. The
protocols are on-demand in nature, using high powers for training and feedback
only when the channel is in poor states. The key result is that the diversity
multiplexing tradeoff with perfect training and K levels of perfect feedback
can be achieved, even when there are errors in training the receiver and errors
in the feedback link, with a multi-round protocol which has K rounds of
training and K-1 rounds of binary feedback. The above result can be viewed as a
generalization of Zheng and Tse, and Aggarwal and Sabharwal, where the result
was shown to hold for K=1 and K=2 respectively. For TDD systems, we also
develop new achievable strategies with multiple rounds of communication between
the transmitter and the receiver, which use the reciprocity of the forward and
the feedback channel. The multi-round TDD protocol achieves a
diversity-multiplexing tradeoff which uniformly dominates its FDD counterparts,
where no channel reciprocity is available.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Information Theor
Joint Beamforming and Power Control in Coordinated Multicell: Max-Min Duality, Effective Network and Large System Transition
This paper studies joint beamforming and power control in a coordinated
multicell downlink system that serves multiple users per cell to maximize the
minimum weighted signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio. The optimal solution
and distributed algorithm with geometrically fast convergence rate are derived
by employing the nonlinear Perron-Frobenius theory and the multicell network
duality. The iterative algorithm, though operating in a distributed manner,
still requires instantaneous power update within the coordinated cluster
through the backhaul. The backhaul information exchange and message passing may
become prohibitive with increasing number of transmit antennas and increasing
number of users. In order to derive asymptotically optimal solution, random
matrix theory is leveraged to design a distributed algorithm that only requires
statistical information. The advantage of our approach is that there is no
instantaneous power update through backhaul. Moreover, by using nonlinear
Perron-Frobenius theory and random matrix theory, an effective primal network
and an effective dual network are proposed to characterize and interpret the
asymptotic solution.Comment: Some typos in the version publised in the IEEE Transactions on
