Joint Wireless Information and Energy Transfer in a K-User MIMO Interference Channel
Recently, joint wireless information and energy transfer (JWIET) methods have
been proposed to relieve the battery limitation of wireless devices. However,
the JWIET in a general K-user MIMO interference channel (IFC) has been
unexplored so far. In this paper, we investigate for the first time the JWIET
in K-user MIMO IFC, in which receivers either decode the incoming information
data (information decoding, ID) or harvest the RF energy (energy harvesting,
EH). In the K-user IFC, we consider three different scenarios according to the
receiver mode -- i) multiple EH receivers and a single ID receiver, ii)
multiple IDs and a single EH, and iii) multiple IDs and multiple EHs. For all
scenarios, we have found a common necessary condition of the optimal
transmission strategy and, accordingly, developed the transmission strategy
that satisfies the common necessary condition, in which all the transmitters
transferring energy exploit a rank-one energy beamforming. Furthermore, we have
also proposed an iterative algorithm to optimize the covariance matrices of the
transmitters that transfer information and the powers of the energy beamforming
transmitters simultaneously, and identified the corresponding achievable
rate-energy tradeoff region. Finally, we have shown that by selecting EH
receivers according to their signal-to-leakage-and-harvested energy-ratio
(SLER), we can improve the achievable rate-energy region further.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1303.169
Decentralized Delay Optimal Control for Interference Networks with Limited Renewable Energy Storage
In this paper, we consider delay minimization for interference networks with
renewable energy source, where the transmission power of a node comes from both
the conventional utility power (AC power) and the renewable energy source. We
assume the transmission power of each node is a function of the local channel
state, local data queue state and local energy queue state only. In turn, we
consider two delay optimization formulations, namely the decentralized
partially observable Markov decision process (DEC-POMDP) and Non-cooperative
partially observable stochastic game (POSG). In DEC-POMDP formulation, we
derive a decentralized online learning algorithm to determine the control
actions and Lagrangian multipliers (LMs) simultaneously, based on the policy
gradient approach. Under some mild technical conditions, the proposed
decentralized policy gradient algorithm converges almost surely to a local
optimal solution. On the other hand, in the non-cooperative POSG formulation,
the transmitter nodes are non-cooperative. We extend the decentralized policy
gradient solution and establish the technical proof for almost-sure convergence
of the learning algorithms. In both cases, the solutions are very robust to
model variations. Finally, the delay performance of the proposed solutions are
compared with conventional baseline schemes for interference networks and it is
illustrated that substantial delay performance gain and energy savings can be
achieved
Interference Alignment for Cognitive Radio Communications and Networks: A Survey
© 2019 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. This article is an open access article distributed under the terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).Interference alignment (IA) is an innovative wireless transmission strategy that has shown to be a promising technique for achieving optimal capacity scaling of a multiuser interference channel at asymptotically high-signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Transmitters exploit the availability of multiple signaling dimensions in order to align their mutual interference at the receivers. Most of the research has focused on developing algorithms for determining alignment solutions as well as proving interference alignment’s theoretical ability to achieve the maximum degrees of freedom in a wireless network. Cognitive radio, on the other hand, is a technique used to improve the utilization of the radio spectrum by opportunistically sensing and accessing unused licensed frequency spectrum, without causing harmful interference to the licensed users. With the increased deployment of wireless services, the possibility of detecting unused frequency spectrum becomes diminished. Thus, the concept of introducing interference alignment in cognitive radio has become a very attractive proposition. This paper provides a survey of the implementation of IA in cognitive radio under the main research paradigms, along with a summary and analysis of results under each system model.Peer reviewe
Rate-Energy Balanced Precoding Design for SWIPT based Two-Way Relay Systems
Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) technique is a
popular strategy to convey both information and RF energy for harvesting at
receivers. In this regard, we consider a two-way relay system with multiple
users and a multi-antenna relay employing SWIPT strategy, where splitting the
received signal leads to a rate-energy trade-off. In literature, the works on
transceiver design have been studied using computationally intensive and
suboptimal convex relaxation based schemes. In this paper, we study the
balanced precoder design using chordal distance (CD) decomposition, which
incurs much lower complexity, and is flexible to dynamic energy requirements.
It is analyzed that given a non-negative value of CD, the achieved harvested
energy for the proposed balanced precoder is higher than that for the perfect
interference alignment (IA) precoder. The corresponding loss in sum rates is
also analyzed via an upper bound. Simulation results add that the IA schemes
based on mean-squared error are better suited for the SWIPT maximization than
the subspace alignment-based methods.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2101.1216
Thirty Years of Machine Learning: The Road to Pareto-Optimal Wireless Networks
Future wireless networks have a substantial potential in terms of supporting
a broad range of complex compelling applications both in military and civilian
fields, where the users are able to enjoy high-rate, low-latency, low-cost and
reliable information services. Achieving this ambitious goal requires new radio
techniques for adaptive learning and intelligent decision making because of the
complex heterogeneous nature of the network structures and wireless services.
Machine learning (ML) algorithms have great success in supporting big data
analytics, efficient parameter estimation and interactive decision making.
Hence, in this article, we review the thirty-year history of ML by elaborating
on supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning and deep
learning. Furthermore, we investigate their employment in the compelling
applications of wireless networks, including heterogeneous networks (HetNets),
cognitive radios (CR), Internet of things (IoT), machine to machine networks
(M2M), and so on. This article aims for assisting the readers in clarifying the
motivation and methodology of the various ML algorithms, so as to invoke them
for hitherto unexplored services as well as scenarios of future wireless
networks.Comment: 46 pages, 22 fig
Secured green communication scheme for interference alignment based networks
In this paper, a new security and green communication scheme is proposed to the Interference-Alignment (IA) based networks. To achieve a secured communication, full-duplex receivers are utilized to transmit artificial noise (AN). Both the signals and the ANs are used to harvest energy to realize green communication. For these reasons, the feasible conditions of this scheme are analyzed first. Secondly, the average transmission rate, the secrecy performance and the harvested energy are investigated. Thirdly, an optimization scheme of simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) is given to optimize the information transmission and the energy harvesting efficiency. Meanwhile, an improved IA iteration algorithm is designed to eliminate both the AN and the interference. Furthermore, relay cooperation is considered and its system performance is analyzed. The simulations show that the target average transmission rate is not affected by AN, while the secrecy performance can be greatly improved. The energy harvesting efficiency is also better than the traditional schemes. As expected, the average transmission rate further is improved with the relay cooperation
Cooperative Precoding with Limited Feedback for MIMO Interference Channels
Multi-antenna precoding effectively mitigates the interference in wireless
networks. However, the resultant performance gains can be significantly
compromised in practice if the precoder design fails to account for the
inaccuracy in the channel state information (CSI) feedback. This paper
addresses this issue by considering finite-rate CSI feedback from receivers to
their interfering transmitters in the two-user multiple-input-multiple-output
(MIMO) interference channel, called cooperative feedback, and proposing a
systematic method for designing transceivers comprising linear precoders and
equalizers. Specifically, each precoder/equalizer is decomposed into inner and
outer components for nulling the cross-link interference and achieving array
gain, respectively. The inner precoders/equalizers are further optimized to
suppress the residual interference resulting from finite-rate cooperative
feedback. Further- more, the residual interference is regulated by additional
scalar cooperative feedback signals that are designed to control transmission
power using different criteria including fixed interference margin and maximum
sum throughput. Finally, the required number of cooperative precoder feedback
bits is derived for limiting the throughput loss due to precoder quantization.Comment: 23 pages; 5 figures; this work was presented in part at Asilomar 2011
