Implementable Wireless Access for B3G Networks - III: Complexity Reducing Transceiver Structures
This article presents a comprehensive overview of some of the research conducted within Mobile VCE’s Core Wireless Access Research Programme,1 a key focus of which has naturally been on MIMO transceivers. The series of articles offers a coherent view of how the work was structured and comprises a compilation of material that has been presented in detail elsewhere (see references within the article). In this article MIMO channel measurements, analysis, and modeling, which were presented previously in the first article in this series of four, are utilized to develop compact and distributed antenna arrays. Parallel activities led to research into low-complexity MIMO single-user spacetime coding techniques, as well as SISO and MIMO multi-user CDMA-based transceivers for B3G systems. As well as feeding into the industry’s in-house research program, significant extensions of this work are now in hand, within Mobile VCE’s own core activity, aiming toward securing major improvements in delivery efficiency in future wireless systems through crosslayer operation
Optical Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access for Visible Light Communication
The proliferation of mobile Internet and connected devices, offering a
variety of services at different levels of performance, represents a major
challenge for the fifth generation wireless networks and beyond. This requires
a paradigm shift towards the development of key enabling techniques for the
next generation wireless networks. In this respect, visible light communication
(VLC) has recently emerged as a new communication paradigm that is capable of
providing ubiquitous connectivity by complementing radio frequency
communications. One of the main challenges of VLC systems, however, is the low
modulation bandwidth of the light-emitting-diodes, which is in the megahertz
range. This article presents a promising technology, referred to as "optical-
non-orthogonal multiple access (O-NOMA)", which is envisioned to address the
key challenges in the next generation of wireless networks. We provide a
detailed overview and analysis of the state-of-the-art integration of O-NOMA in
VLC networks. Furthermore, we provide insights on the potential opportunities
and challenges as well as some open research problems that are envisioned to
pave the way for the future design and implementation of O-NOMA in VLC systems
Interference Localization for Uplink OFDMA Systems in Presence of CFOs
Multiple carrier frequency offsets (CFOs) present in the uplink of orthogonal
frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems adversely affect subcarrier
orthogonality and impose a serious performance loss. In this paper, we propose
the application of time domain receiver windowing to concentrate the leakage
caused by CFOs to a few adjacent subcarriers with almost no additional
computational complexity. This allows us to approximate the interference matrix
with a quasi-banded matrix by neglecting small elements outside a certain band
which enables robust and computationally efficient signal detection. The
proposed CFO compensation technique is applicable to all types of subcarrier
assignment techniques. Simulation results show that the quasi-banded
approximation of the interference matrix is accurate enough to provide almost
the same bit error rate performance as that of the optimal solution. The
excellent performance of our proposed method is also proven through running an
experiment using our FPGA-based system setup.Comment: Accepted in IEEE WCNC 201
