Precoded Integer-Forcing Universally Achieves the MIMO Capacity to Within a Constant Gap
An open-loop single-user multiple-input multiple-output communication scheme
is considered where a transmitter, equipped with multiple antennas, encodes the
data into independent streams all taken from the same linear code. The coded
streams are then linearly precoded using the encoding matrix of a perfect
linear dispersion space-time code. At the receiver side, integer-forcing
equalization is applied, followed by standard single-stream decoding. It is
shown that this communication architecture achieves the capacity of any
Gaussian multiple-input multiple-output channel up to a gap that depends only
on the number of transmit antennas.Comment: to appear in the IEEE Transactions on Information Theor
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
Full Diversity Unitary Precoded Integer-Forcing
We consider a point-to-point flat-fading MIMO channel with channel state
information known both at transmitter and receiver. At the transmitter side, a
lattice coding scheme is employed at each antenna to map information symbols to
independent lattice codewords drawn from the same codebook. Each lattice
codeword is then multiplied by a unitary precoding matrix and sent
through the channel. At the receiver side, an integer-forcing (IF) linear
receiver is employed. We denote this scheme as unitary precoded integer-forcing
(UPIF). We show that UPIF can achieve full-diversity under a constraint based
on the shortest vector of a lattice generated by the precoding matrix . This constraint and a simpler version of that provide design criteria for
two types of full-diversity UPIF. Type I uses a unitary precoder that adapts at
each channel realization. Type II uses a unitary precoder, which remains fixed
for all channel realizations. We then verify our results by computer
simulations in , and MIMO using different QAM
constellations. We finally show that the proposed Type II UPIF outperform the
MIMO precoding X-codes at high data rates.Comment: 12 pages, 8 figures, to appear in IEEE-TW

Joint Interference Alignment and Bi-Directional Scheduling for MIMO Two-Way Multi-Link Networks
By means of the emerging technique of dynamic Time Division Duplex (TDD), the
switching point between uplink and downlink transmissions can be optimized
across a multi-cell system in order to reduce the impact of inter-cell
interference. It has been recently recognized that optimizing also the order in
which uplink and downlink transmissions, or more generally the two directions
of a two-way link, are scheduled can lead to significant benefits in terms of
interference reduction. In this work, the optimization of bi-directional
scheduling is investigated in conjunction with the design of linear precoding
and equalization for a general multi-link MIMO two-way system. A simple
algorithm is proposed that performs the joint optimization of the ordering of
the transmissions in the two directions of the two-way links and of the linear
transceivers, with the aim of minimizing the interference leakage power.
Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.Comment: To be presented at ICC 2015, 6 pages, 7 figure
