Uplink Analysis of Large MU-MIMO Systems With Space-Constrained Arrays in Ricean Fading
Closed-form approximations to the expected per-terminal
signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) and ergodic sum spectral
efficiency of a large multiuser multiple-input multiple-output system are
presented. Our analysis assumes correlated Ricean fading with maximum ratio
combining on the uplink, where the base station (BS) is equipped with a uniform
linear array (ULA) with physical size restrictions. Unlike previous studies,
our model caters for the presence of unequal correlation matrices and unequal
Rice factors for each terminal. As the number of BS antennas grows without
bound, with a finite number of terminals, we derive the limiting expected
per-terminal SINR and ergodic sum spectral efficiency of the system. Our
findings suggest that with restrictions on the size of the ULA, the expected
SINR saturates with increasing operating signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) and BS
antennas. Whilst unequal correlation matrices result in higher performance, the
presence of strong line-of-sight (LoS) has an opposite effect. Our analysis
accommodates changes in system dimensions, SNR, LoS levels, spatial correlation
levels and variations in fixed physical spacings of the BS array.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publication in the proceedings of

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
A joint-channel diagonalization for multiuser MIMO antenna systems
In this paper, we address the problem of improving the performance of multiuser space-division multiplexing (SDM) systems where multiple independent signal streams can be transmitted in the same frequency and time slot. The problem is important in multiuser multiple-input multiple-output systems where communication from one base station to many mobile stations can occur simultaneously. Our objective is to devise a multiuser linear space-time precoder for simultaneous channel diagonalization of the multiuser channels enabling SDM. Our new approach is based on diagonalizing the multiuser channel matrices and we use a variation of successive Jacobi rotations. In addition to the diagonalization, our approach attempts to optimize the resultant channel gains for performance enhancement. Our method is valid for both frequency-flat and frequency-selective fading channels but we assume that the base station knows all the channels and that they are quasi-stationary
Cooperative Transmission Protocols with High Spectral Efficiency and High Diversity Order Using Multiuser Detection and Network Coding
Cooperative transmission is an emerging communication technique that takes
advantages of the broadcast nature of wireless channels. However, due to low
spectral efficiency and the requirement of orthogonal channels, its potential
for use in future wireless networks is limited. In this paper, by making use of
multiuser detection (MUD) and network coding, cooperative transmission
protocols with high spectral efficiency, diversity order, and coding gain are
developed. Compared with the traditional cooperative transmission protocols
with single-user detection, in which the diversity gain is only for one source
user, the proposed MUD cooperative transmission protocols have the merits that
the improvement of one user's link can also benefit the other users. In
addition, using MUD at the relay provides an environment in which network
coding can be employed. The coding gain and high diversity order can be
obtained by fully utilizing the link between the relay and the destination.
From the analysis and simulation results, it is seen that the proposed
protocols achieve higher diversity gain, better asymptotic efficiency, and
lower bit error rate, compared to traditional MUD and to existing cooperative
transmission protocols.Comment: to appear, in the proceedings of IEEE International Conference on

Wireless Cellular Networks
When aiming for achieving high spectral efficiency in wireless cellular networks, cochannel interference (CCI) becomes the dominant performancelimiting factor. This article provides a survey of CCI mitigation techniques, where both active and passive approaches are discussed in the context of both open- and closed-loop designs.More explicitly, we considered both the family of flexible frequency-reuse (FFR)-aided and dynamic channel allocation (DCA)-aided interference avoidance techniques as well as smart antenna-aided interference mitigation techniques, which may be classified as active approach
A Novel Antenna Selection Scheme for Spatially Correlated Massive MIMO Uplinks with Imperfect Channel Estimation
We propose a new antenna selection scheme for a massive MIMO system with a
single user terminal and a base station with a large number of antennas. We
consider a practical scenario where there is a realistic correlation among the
antennas and imperfect channel estimation at the receiver side. The proposed
scheme exploits the sparsity of the channel matrix for the effective selection
of a limited number of antennas. To this end, we compute a sparse channel
matrix by minimising the mean squared error. This optimisation problem is then
solved by the well-known orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm. Widely used
models for spatial correlation among the antennas and channel estimation errors
are considered in this work. Simulation results demonstrate that when the
impacts of spatial correlation and imperfect channel estimation introduced, the
proposed scheme in the paper can significantly reduce complexity of the
receiver, without degrading the system performance compared to the maximum
ratio combining.Comment: in Proc. IEEE 81st Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC), May 2015, 6
