Multipair Full-Duplex Relaying with Massive Arrays and Linear Processing
We consider a multipair decode-and-forward relay channel, where multiple
sources transmit simultaneously their signals to multiple destinations with the
help of a full-duplex relay station. We assume that the relay station is
equipped with massive arrays, while all sources and destinations have a single
antenna. The relay station uses channel estimates obtained from received pilots
and zero-forcing (ZF) or maximum-ratio combining/maximum-ratio transmission
(MRC/MRT) to process the signals. To reduce significantly the loop interference
effect, we propose two techniques: i) using a massive receive antenna array; or
ii) using a massive transmit antenna array together with very low transmit
power at the relay station. We derive an exact achievable rate in closed-form
for MRC/MRT processing and an analytical approximation of the achievable rate
for ZF processing. This approximation is very tight, especially for large
number of relay station antennas. These closed-form expressions enable us to
determine the regions where the full-duplex mode outperforms the half-duplex
mode, as well as, to design an optimal power allocation scheme. This optimal
power allocation scheme aims to maximize the energy efficiency for a given sum
spectral efficiency and under peak power constraints at the relay station and
sources. Numerical results verify the effectiveness of the optimal power
allocation scheme. Furthermore, we show that, by doubling the number of
transmit/receive antennas at the relay station, the transmit power of each
source and of the relay station can be reduced by 1.5dB if the pilot power is
equal to the signal power, and by 3dB if the pilot power is kept fixed, while
maintaining a given quality-of-service
Secrecy Energy Efficiency of MIMOME Wiretap Channels with Full-Duplex Jamming
Full-duplex (FD) jamming transceivers are recently shown to enhance the
information security of wireless communication systems by simultaneously
transmitting artificial noise (AN) while receiving information. In this work,
we investigate if FD jamming can also improve the systems secrecy energy
efficiency (SEE) in terms of securely communicated bits-per- Joule, when
considering the additional power used for jamming and self-interference (SI)
cancellation. Moreover, the degrading effect of the residual SI is also taken
into account. In this regard, we formulate a set of SEE maximization problems
for a FD multiple-input-multiple-output multiple-antenna eavesdropper (MIMOME)
wiretap channel, considering both cases where exact or statistical channel
state information (CSI) is available. Due to the intractable problem structure,
we propose iterative solutions in each case with a proven convergence to a
stationary point. Numerical simulations indicate only a marginal SEE gain,
through the utilization of FD jamming, for a wide range of system conditions.
However, when SI can efficiently be mitigated, the observed gain is
considerable for scenarios with a small distance between the FD node and the
eavesdropper, a high Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), or for a bidirectional FD
communication setup.Comment: IEEE Transactions on Communication
