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
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
Transmit Precoding for MIMO Systems with Partial CSI and Discrete-Constellation Inputs
In this paper, we consider the transmit linear precoding problem for MIMO systems with discrete-constellation inputs. We assume that the receiver has perfect channel state information (CSI) and the transmitter only has partial CSI, namely, the channel covariance information. We first consider MIMO systems over frequency-flat fading channels. We design the optimal linear precoder based on direct maximization of mutual information over the MIMO channels with discrete-constellation inputs. It turns out that the optimal linear precoder is a non-diagonal non-unitary matrix. Then, we consider MIMO systems over frequency selective fading channels via extending our method to MIMO-OFDM systems. To keep reasonable computational complexity of solving the linear precoding matrix, we propose a sub-optimal approach to restrict the precoding matrix as a block-diagonal matrix. This approach has near-optimal performance when we integrate it with a properly chosen interleaver. Numerical examples show that for MIMO systems over frequency flat fading channels, our proposed optimal linear precoder enjoys 6-9 dB gain compared to the same system without linear precoder. For MIMO-OFDM systems, our reduced-complexity sub-optimal linear precoder captures 3-6 dB gain compared to the same system with no precoding. Moreover, for those MIMO systems employing a linear precoder designed based on Gaussian inputs with gap approximation technique for discrete-constellation inputs, significant loss may occur when the signal-to-noise ratio is larger than 0 dB
Wireless transmission protocols using relays for broadcast and information exchange channels
Relays have been used to overcome existing network performance bottlenecks in meeting the growing
demand for large bandwidth and high quality of service (QoS) in wireless networks. This thesis
proposes several wireless transmission protocols using relays in practical multi-user broadcast and
information exchange channels. The main theme is to demonstrate that efficient use of relays provides
an additional dimension to improve reliability, throughput, power efficiency and secrecy. First,
a spectrally efficient cooperative transmission protocol is proposed for the multiple-input and singleoutput
(MISO) broadcast channel to improve the reliability of wireless transmission. The proposed
protocol mitigates co-channel interference and provides another dimension to improve the diversity
gain. Analytical and simulation results show that outage probability and the diversity and multiplexing
tradeoff of the proposed cooperative protocol outperforms the non-cooperative scheme. Second,
a two-way relaying protocol is proposed for the multi-pair, two-way relaying channel to improve the
throughput and reliability. The proposed protocol enables both the users and the relay to participate
in interference cancellation. Several beamforming schemes are proposed for the multi-antenna
relay. Analytical and simulation results reveal that the proposed protocol delivers significant improvements
in ergodic capacity, outage probability and the diversity and multiplexing tradeoff if compared
to existing schemes. Third, a joint beamforming and power management scheme is proposed for
multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) two-way relaying channel to improve the sum-rate. Network
power allocation and power control optimisation problems are formulated and solved using
convex optimisation techniques. Simulation results verify that the proposed scheme delivers better
sum-rate or consumes lower power when compared to existing schemes. Fourth, two-way secrecy
schemes which combine one-time pad and wiretap coding are proposed for the scalar broadcast channel
to improve secrecy rate. The proposed schemes utilise the channel reciprocity and employ relays
to forward secret messages. Analytical and simulation results reveal that the proposed schemes are
able to achieve positive secrecy rates even when the number of users is large. All of these new wireless
transmission protocols help to realise better throughput, reliability, power efficiency and secrecy
for wireless broadcast and information exchange channels through the efficient use of relays
