Design a New Tomlinson-Harashima Non-Linear Pre-Coding Technique for MIMO WiMAX-OFDM Based on Wavelet Signals in Transmit-Antenna
This paper investigates a new technique to the adaptation the Tomlinson-Harashima non-linear Pre-coding (THP) in the WiMAX baseband, in the physical layer performance of multi-antenna techniques, All cases are based on the IEEE 802.16d standard using OFDM based Wavelet and QPSK (Ÿ) of coding rates. The proposed pre-coding only requires the statistical knowledge of the channel at the transmitter, which significantly reduces the feedback requirements. Both linear and non-linear pre-coders amend the system bit error rate for WiMAX OSTBC DWT OFDM in transmit-antenna and path-correlated channels. The proposed non-linear pre-coder in closed loop design achieved much lower bit error rates, increased signal-to-noise power ratio (SNR) than linear pre-coder.

Resource Allocation for Power Minimization in the Downlink of THP-based Spatial Multiplexing MIMO-OFDMA Systems
In this work, we deal with resource allocation in the downlink of spatial
multiplexing MIMO-OFDMA systems. In particular, we concentrate on the problem
of jointly optimizing the transmit and receive processing matrices, the channel
assignment and the power allocation with the objective of minimizing the total
power consumption while satisfying different quality-of-service requirements. A
layered architecture is used in which users are first partitioned in different
groups on the basis of their channel quality and then channel assignment and
transceiver design are sequentially addressed starting from the group of users
with most adverse channel conditions. The multi-user interference among users
belonging to different groups is removed at the base station using a
Tomlinson-Harashima pre-coder operating at user level. Numerical results are
used to highlight the effectiveness of the proposed solution and to make
comparisons with existing alternatives.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figures, IEEE Trans. Veh. Techno
Design guidelines for spatial modulation
A new class of low-complexity, yet energyefficient Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) transmission techniques, namely the family of Spatial Modulation (SM) aided MIMOs (SM-MIMO) has emerged. These systems are capable of exploiting the spatial dimensions (i.e. the antenna indices) as an additional dimension invoked for transmitting information, apart from the traditional Amplitude and Phase Modulation (APM). SM is capable of efficiently operating in diverse MIMO configurations in the context of future communication systems. It constitutes a promising transmission candidate for large-scale MIMO design and for the indoor optical wireless communication whilst relying on a single-Radio Frequency (RF) chain. Moreover, SM may also be viewed as an entirely new hybrid modulation scheme, which is still in its infancy. This paper aims for providing a general survey of the SM design framework as well as of its intrinsic limits. In particular, we focus our attention on the associated transceiver design, on spatial constellation optimization, on link adaptation techniques, on distributed/ cooperative protocol design issues, and on their meritorious variants
