Maximizing signal to leakage ratios in MIMO BCH cooperative beamforming scheme
Beamforming (BF) technique in cooperative multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna arrays improves signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the intended user. The challenge is to design transmit beamforming vectors for every user while limiting the co-channel interference (CCI) from other users. In this paper, we proposed cooperative beamforming based on Signal-to-Leakage Ratio (SLR) to exploit the leakage power as a useful power in the second time slot after user cooperation, for this purpose successive interference cancellation (SIC) is employed in each user to separate the leakage signal from the desired signal. Without increasing the complexity, Maximizing Signal-to-Leakage Ratio (SLR) subject to proposed power constraint instead of a unity norm is the way to achieve extra leakage power. To reduce the erroneous, Bose–Chaudhuri–Hocquenghem (BCH) codes employed in Beamforming of (SIC) cooperative scheme BF(CS-SIC-BCH). Maximum-likelihood (ML) estimator method is used at each user receiver. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed scheme BF (CS-SIC-BCH) over Rayleigh and Rician fading channel is significantly better than the performance beamforming based on SLR in Non-cooperative system. More specifically to achieve a BER of about the required SNR for the proposed scheme is about 1 dB less than the Non-cooperative system
A Tutorial on the Optimization of Amplify-and-Forward MIMO Relay Systems
The remarkable promise of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless channels has motivated an intense research activity to characterize the theoretical and practical issues associated with the design of transmit (source) and receive (destination) processing matrices under different operating conditions. This activity was primarily focused on point-to-point (single-hop) communications but more recently there has been an extensive work on two-hop or multi-hop settings in which single or multiple relays are used to deliver the information from the source to the destination. The aim of this tutorial is to provide an up-to-date overview of the fundamental results and practical implementation issues of designing amplify-and-forward MIMO relay systems
Joint Unitary Triangularization for Gaussian Multi-User MIMO Networks
The problem of transmitting a common message to multiple users over the
Gaussian multiple-input multiple-output broadcast channel is considered, where
each user is equipped with an arbitrary number of antennas. A closed-loop
scenario is assumed, for which a practical capacity-approaching scheme is
developed. By applying judiciously chosen unitary operations at the transmit
and receive nodes, the channel matrices are triangularized so that the
resulting matrices have equal diagonals, up to a possible multiplicative scalar
factor. This, along with the utilization of successive interference
cancellation, reduces the coding and decoding tasks to those of coding and
decoding over the single-antenna additive white Gaussian noise channel. Over
the resulting effective channel, any off-the-shelf code may be used. For the
two-user case, it was recently shown that such joint unitary triangularization
is always possible. In this paper, it is shown that for more than two users, it
is necessary to carry out the unitary linear processing jointly over multiple
channel uses, i.e., space-time processing is employed. It is further shown that
exact triangularization, where all resulting diagonals are equal, is still not
always possible, and appropriate conditions for the existence of such are
established for certain cases. When exact triangularization is not possible, an
asymptotic construction is proposed, that achieves the desired property of
equal diagonals up to edge effects that can be made arbitrarily small, at the
price of processing a sufficiently large number of channel uses together.Comment: Extended version of published paper in IEEE Transactions on
