Multi-Antenna Assisted Virtual Full-Duplex Relaying with Reliability-Aware Iterative Decoding
In this paper, a multi-antenna assisted virtual full-duplex (FD) relaying
with reliability-aware iterative decoding at destination node is proposed to
improve system spectral efficiency and reliability. This scheme enables two
half-duplex relay nodes, mimicked as FD relaying, to alternatively serve as
transmitter and receiver to relay their decoded data signals regardless the
decoding errors, meanwhile, cancel the inter-relay interference with
QR-decomposition. Then, by deploying the reliability-aware iterative
detection/decoding process, destination node can efficiently mitigate
inter-frame interference and error propagation effect at the same time.
Simulation results show that, without extra cost of time delay and signalling
overhead, our proposed scheme outperforms the conventional selective
decode-and-forward (S-DF) relaying schemes, such as cyclic redundancy check
based S-DF relaying and threshold based S-DF relaying, by up to 8 dB in terms
of bit-error-rate.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, conference paper has been submitte
Integer-Forcing Linear Receivers
Linear receivers are often used to reduce the implementation complexity of
multiple-antenna systems. In a traditional linear receiver architecture, the
receive antennas are used to separate out the codewords sent by each transmit
antenna, which can then be decoded individually. Although easy to implement,
this approach can be highly suboptimal when the channel matrix is near
singular. This paper develops a new linear receiver architecture that uses the
receive antennas to create an effective channel matrix with integer-valued
entries. Rather than attempting to recover transmitted codewords directly, the
decoder recovers integer combinations of the codewords according to the entries
of the effective channel matrix. The codewords are all generated using the same
linear code which guarantees that these integer combinations are themselves
codewords. Provided that the effective channel is full rank, these integer
combinations can then be digitally solved for the original codewords. This
paper focuses on the special case where there is no coding across transmit
antennas and no channel state information at the transmitter(s), which
corresponds either to a multi-user uplink scenario or to single-user V-BLAST
encoding. In this setting, the proposed integer-forcing linear receiver
significantly outperforms conventional linear architectures such as the
zero-forcing and linear MMSE receiver. In the high SNR regime, the proposed
receiver attains the optimal diversity-multiplexing tradeoff for the standard
MIMO channel with no coding across transmit antennas. It is further shown that
in an extended MIMO model with interference, the integer-forcing linear
receiver achieves the optimal generalized degrees-of-freedom.Comment: 40 pages, 16 figures, to appear in the IEEE Transactions on

Multi-Step Knowledge-Aided Iterative ESPRIT for Direction Finding
In this work, we propose a subspace-based algorithm for DOA estimation which
iteratively reduces the disturbance factors of the estimated data covariance
matrix and incorporates prior knowledge which is gradually obtained on line. An
analysis of the MSE of the reshaped data covariance matrix is carried out along
with comparisons between computational complexities of the proposed and
existing algorithms. Simulations focusing on closely-spaced sources, where they
are uncorrelated and correlated, illustrate the improvements achieved.Comment: 7 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1703.1052
