Robust Sum MSE Optimization for Downlink Multiuser MIMO Systems with Arbitrary Power Constraint: Generalized Duality Approach
This paper considers linear minimum meansquare- error (MMSE) transceiver
design problems for downlink multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
systems where imperfect channel state information is available at the base
station (BS) and mobile stations (MSs). We examine robust sum mean-square-error
(MSE) minimization problems. The problems are examined for the generalized
scenario where the power constraint is per BS, per BS antenna, per user or per
symbol, and the noise vector of each MS is a zero-mean circularly symmetric
complex Gaussian random variable with arbitrary covariance matrix. For each of
these problems, we propose a novel duality based iterative solution. Each of
these problems is solved as follows. First, we establish a novel sum average
meansquare- error (AMSE) duality. Second, we formulate the power allocation
part of the problem in the downlink channel as a Geometric Program (GP). Third,
using the duality result and the solution of GP, we utilize alternating
optimization technique to solve the original downlink problem. To solve robust
sum MSE minimization constrained with per BS antenna and per BS power problems,
we have established novel downlink-uplink duality. On the other hand, to solve
robust sum MSE minimization constrained with per user and per symbol power
problems, we have established novel downlink-interference duality. For the
total BS power constrained robust sum MSE minimization problem, the current
duality is established by modifying the constraint function of the dual uplink
channel problem. And, for the robust sum MSE minimization with per BS antenna
and per user (symbol) power constraint problems, our duality are established by
formulating the noise covariance matrices of the uplink and interference
channels as fixed point functions, respectively.Comment: IEEE TSP Journa
Joint Power Allocation and User Association Optimization for Massive MIMO Systems
This paper investigates the joint power allocation and user association
problem in multi-cell Massive MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) downlink
(DL) systems. The target is to minimize the total transmit power consumption
when each user is served by an optimized subset of the base stations (BSs),
using non-coherent joint transmission. We first derive a lower bound on the
ergodic spectral efficiency (SE), which is applicable for any channel
distribution and precoding scheme. Closed-form expressions are obtained for
Rayleigh fading channels with either maximum ratio transmission (MRT) or zero
forcing (ZF) precoding. From these bounds, we further formulate the DL power
minimization problems with fixed SE constraints for the users. These problems
are proved to be solvable as linear programs, giving the optimal power
allocation and BS-user association with low complexity. Furthermore, we
formulate a max-min fairness problem which maximizes the worst SE among the
users, and we show that it can be solved as a quasi-linear program. Simulations
manifest that the proposed methods provide good SE for the users using less
transmit power than in small-scale systems and the optimal user association can
effectively balance the load between BSs when needed. Even though our framework
allows the joint transmission from multiple BSs, there is an overwhelming
probability that only one BS is associated with each user at the optimal
solution.Comment: 16 pages, 12 figures, Accepted by IEEE Trans. Wireless Commu
Multipath Multiplexing for Capacity Enhancement in SIMO Wireless Systems
This paper proposes a novel and simple orthogonal faster than Nyquist (OFTN)
data transmission and detection approach for a single input multiple output
(SIMO) system. It is assumed that the signal having a bandwidth is
transmitted through a wireless channel with multipath components. Under
this assumption, the current paper provides a novel and simple OFTN
transmission and symbol-by-symbol detection approach that exploits the
multiplexing gain obtained by the multipath characteristic of wideband wireless
channels. It is shown that the proposed design can achieve a higher
transmission rate than the existing one (i.e., orthogonal frequency division
multiplexing (OFDM)). Furthermore, the achievable rate gap between the proposed
approach and that of the OFDM increases as the number of receiver antennas
increases for a fixed value of . This implies that the performance gain of
the proposed approach can be very significant for a large-scale multi-antenna
wireless system. The superiority of the proposed approach is shown
theoretically and confirmed via numerical simulations. {Specifically, we have
found {upper-bound average} rates of 15 bps/Hz and 28 bps/Hz with the OFDM and
proposed approaches, respectively, in a Rayleigh fading channel with 32 receive
antennas and signal to noise ratio (SNR) of 15.3 dB. The extension of the
proposed approach for different system setups and associated research problems
is also discussed.Comment: IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communication
