INTERFERENCE MANAGEMENT IN LTE SYSTEM AND BEYOUND
The key challenges to high throughput in cellular wireless communication system are interference, mobility and bandwidth limitation. Mobility has never been a problem until recently, bandwidth has been constantly improved upon through the evolutions in cellular wireless communication system but interference has been a constant limitation to any improvement that may have resulted from such evolution. The fundamental challenge to a system designer or a researcher is how to achieve high data rate in motion (high speed) in a cellular system that is intrinsically interference-limited.
Multi-antenna is the solution to data on the move and the capacity of multi-antenna system has been demonstrated to increase proportionally with increase in the number of antennas at both transmitter and receiver for point-to-point communications and multi-user environment. However, the capacity gain in both uplink and downlink is limited in a multi-user environment like cellular system by interference, the number of antennas at the base station, complexity and space constraint particularly for a mobile terminal.
This challenge in the downlink provided the motivation to investigate successive interference cancellation (SIC) as an interference management tool LTE system and beyond. The Simulation revealed that ordered successive interference (OSIC) out performs non-ordered successive interference cancellation (NSIC) and the additional complexity is justified based on the associated gain in BER performance of OSIC. The major drawback of OSIC is that it is not efficient in network environment employing power control or power allocation. Additional interference management techniques will be required to fully manage the interference.fi=Opinnäytetyö kokotekstinä PDF-muodossa.|en=Thesis fulltext in PDF format.|sv=Lärdomsprov tillgängligt som fulltext i PDF-format

Extending the user capacity of MU-MIMO systems with low detection complexity and receive diversity
Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) based technologies are considered as an integral part of the upcoming 5G communications to fulfil the ever-increasing demands of wireless applications with high spectral efficiency requirements. However, in uplink multiuser MIMO (MU-MIMO) channels, the number of allowed users is limited by the number of receive antennas associated with radio frequency (RF) chains at the base-station and the complexity burden of multiuser detection (MUD). In this paper, a novel group layer MU-MIMO scheme with low complexity MUD is proposed to increase the number of served users well beyond the available RF chains. By taking the advantage of power control and inherent path loss in cellular systems, the allowed users are divided into groups based on their received power. Efficient group power allocation and group layer MUD (GL-MUD) are utilized to provide a valuable tradeoff between complexity and achieved performance. Furthermore, when more receive antennas than RF chains is implemented, a generalized norm based antenna selection algorithm is proposed to enhance the error performance. Symbol error probability expressions are derived and the effectiveness of proposed scheme is demonstrated through numerical simulations compared with the conventional MU-MIMO and non-orthogonal multiple-access (NOMA) systems over Rayleigh fading channels. The results show a substantial increase in user capacity up to two-fold for the available number of RF chains. In addition, significant signal-to-noise ratio gain is achieved using GL-MUD compared with different MUD techniques

Wireless Information and Power Transfer in Full-Duplex Systems with Massive Antenna Arrays
We consider a multiuser wireless system with a full-duplex hybrid access
point (HAP) that transmits to a set of users in the downlink channel, while
receiving data from a set of energy-constrained sensors in the uplink channel.
We assume that the HAP is equipped with a massive antenna array, while all
users and sensor nodes have a single antenna. We adopt a time-switching
protocol where in the first phase, sensors are powered through wireless energy
transfer from HAP and HAP estimates the downlink channel of the users. In the
second phase, sensors use the harvested energy to transmit to the HAP. The
downlink-uplink sum-rate region is obtained by solving downlink sum-rate
maximization problem under a constraint on uplink sum-rate. Moreover, assuming
perfect and imperfect channel state information, we derive expressions for the
achievable uplink and downlink rates in the large-antenna limit and approximate
results that hold for any finite number of antennas. Based on these analytical
results, we obtain the power-scaling law and analyze the effect of the number
of antennas on the cancellation of intra-user interference and the
self-interference.Comment: Accepted for the IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC
