A Generalized Framework on Beamformer Design and CSI Acquisition for Single-Carrier Massive MIMO Systems in Millimeter Wave Channels
In this paper, we establish a general framework on the reduced dimensional
channel state information (CSI) estimation and pre-beamformer design for
frequency-selective massive multiple-input multiple-output MIMO systems
employing single-carrier (SC) modulation in time division duplex (TDD) mode by
exploiting the joint angle-delay domain channel sparsity in millimeter (mm)
wave frequencies. First, based on a generic subspace projection taking the
joint angle-delay power profile and user-grouping into account, the reduced
rank minimum mean square error (RR-MMSE) instantaneous CSI estimator is derived
for spatially correlated wideband MIMO channels. Second, the statistical
pre-beamformer design is considered for frequency-selective SC massive MIMO
channels. We examine the dimension reduction problem and subspace (beamspace)
construction on which the RR-MMSE estimation can be realized as accurately as
possible. Finally, a spatio-temporal domain correlator type reduced rank
channel estimator, as an approximation of the RR-MMSE estimate, is obtained by
carrying out least square (LS) estimation in a proper reduced dimensional
beamspace. It is observed that the proposed techniques show remarkable
robustness to the pilot interference (or contamination) with a significant
reduction in pilot overhead

Ultra Wideband
Ultra wideband (UWB) has advanced and merged as a technology, and many more people are aware of the potential for this exciting technology. The current UWB field is changing rapidly with new techniques and ideas where several issues are involved in developing the systems. Among UWB system design, the UWB RF transceiver and UWB antenna are the key components. Recently, a considerable amount of researches has been devoted to the development of the UWB RF transceiver and antenna for its enabling high data transmission rates and low power consumption. Our book attempts to present current and emerging trends in-research and development of UWB systems as well as future expectations
Cooperative Transmitter-Receiver Arrayed Communications
This thesis is concerned with array processing for wireless communications.
In particular, cooperation between the transmitter and receiver or between
systems is exploited to further improve the system performance. Based on
this idea, three technical chapters are presented in this thesis.
Initially in Chapter 1, an introduction including array processing, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems and the background
of cognitive radio is presented. In Chapter 2, a novel approach for estimating
the direction-of-departure (DOD) is proposed using the cooperative beamforming. This proposed approach is featured by its simplicity (beam rotation at
the transmitter) and effectiveness (illustrated in terms of channel capacity).
Chapter 3 is concerned with integration of spatio-temporal (ST) processing
into an antenna array transmitter, given a joint transmitter-receiver system
with ST processing at the receiver but spatial-only processing at the transmitter. The transmit ST processing further improves the system performance in
convergence, mean-square error (MSE) and bit error rate (BER). In Chapter
4, a basic system structure for radio coexistence problem is proposed based on
the concept of MIMO cognitive radio. Cooperation between the licensed radio
and the cognitive radio is exploited. Optimisation of the sum channel capacity
is considered as the criterion and it is solved using a multivariable water-filling
algorithm. Finally, Chapter 5 concludes this thesis and gives suggestions for
future work
