MMSE-based Transceiver Design Algorithms for Interference MIMO Relay Systems
In this paper, we investigate the transceiver design for amplify-and-forward interference multiple-input multipleoutput (MIMO) relay communication systems, where multiple transmitter-receiver pairs communicate simultaneously with the aid of a relay node. The aim is to minimize the mean-squared error (MSE) of the signal waveform estimation at the receivers subjecting to transmission power constraints at the transmitters and the relay node. As the transceiver optimization problem is nonconvex with matrix variables, the globally optimal solution is intractable to obtain. To overcome the challenge, we propose an iterative transceiver design algorithm where the transmitter, relay, and receiver matrices are optimized iteratively by exploiting the optimal structure of the relay precoding matrix. To reduce the computational complexity of optimizing the relay precoding matrix, we propose a simplified relay matrix design through modifying the transmission power constraint at the relay node. The modified relay optimization problem has a closedform solution. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms perform better than the existing techniques in terms of both MSE and bit-error-rate
How to Understand LMMSE Transceiver Design for MIMO Systems From Quadratic Matrix Programming
In this paper, a unified linear minimum mean-square-error (LMMSE) transceiver
design framework is investigated, which is suitable for a wide range of
wireless systems. The unified design is based on an elegant and powerful
mathematical programming technology termed as quadratic matrix programming
(QMP). Based on QMP it can be observed that for different wireless systems,
there are certain common characteristics which can be exploited to design LMMSE
transceivers e.g., the quadratic forms. It is also discovered that evolving
from a point-to-point MIMO system to various advanced wireless systems such as
multi-cell coordinated systems, multi-user MIMO systems, MIMO cognitive radio
systems, amplify-and-forward MIMO relaying systems and so on, the quadratic
nature is always kept and the LMMSE transceiver designs can always be carried
out via iteratively solving a number of QMP problems. A comprehensive framework
on how to solve QMP problems is also given. The work presented in this paper is
likely to be the first shoot for the transceiver design for the future
ever-changing wireless systems.Comment: 31 pages, 4 figures, Accepted by IET Communication
ZF DFE transceiver design for MIMO relay systems with direct source-destination link
In this paper we consider a non-linear transceiver design for non-regenerative multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relay networks where a direct link exists between the source and destination. Our system utilises linear processors at the source and relay as well as a zero-forcing (ZF) decision feedback equaliser (DFE) at the receiver. Under the assumption that full channel state information (CSI) is available the precoding and equaliser matrices are designed to minimise the arithmetic mean square error (MSE) whilst meeting transmit power constraints at the source and destination. The source, relay, and destination processors are provided in closed form solution. In the absence of the direct link our design particularises to a previous ZF DFE solution and as such can be viewed as a generalisation of an existing work. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed solution through simulation and show that it outperforms existing techniques in terms of bit error ratio (BER)
Transceiver Optimization for Interference MIMO Relay Communication Systems
This thesis focuses on transceivers design for interference MIMO relay systems. Based on the MMSE criterion, several iterative algorithms are proposed to jointly optimize the source, relay, and receiver matrices subjecting to the individual power constraints at the source and the relay nodes. These algorithms have better performance than some existing algorithms and provide a better performance-complexity trade-off which is interesting in practical interference MIMO relay communication systems
Wireless MIMO Switching: Weighted Sum Mean Square Error and Sum Rate Optimization
This paper addresses joint transceiver and relay design for a wireless
multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) switching scheme that enables data
exchange among multiple users. Here, a multi-antenna relay linearly precodes
the received (uplink) signals from multiple users before forwarding the signal
in the downlink, where the purpose of precoding is to let each user receive its
desired signal with interference from other users suppressed. The problem of
optimizing the precoder based on various design criteria is typically
non-convex and difficult to solve. The main contribution of this paper is a
unified approach to solve the weighted sum mean square error (MSE) minimization
and weighted sum rate maximization problems in MIMO switching. Specifically, an
iterative algorithm is proposed for jointly optimizing the relay's precoder and
the users' receive filters to minimize the weighted sum MSE. It is also shown
that the weighted sum rate maximization problem can be reformulated as an
iterated weighted sum MSE minimization problem and can therefore be solved
similarly to the case of weighted sum MSE minimization. With properly chosen
initial values, the proposed iterative algorithms are asymptotically optimal in
both high and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regimes for MIMO switching,
either with or without self-interference cancellation (a.k.a., physical-layer
network coding). Numerical results show that the optimized MIMO switching
scheme based on the proposed algorithms significantly outperforms existing
approaches in the literature.Comment: This manuscript is under 2nd review of IEEE Transactions on

Energy efficiency and interference management in long term evolution-advanced networks.
Doctoral Degree. University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban.Cellular networks are continuously undergoing fast extraordinary evolution to overcome
technological challenges. The fourth generation (4G) or Long Term Evolution-Advanced
(LTE-Advanced) networks offer improvements in performance through increase in network density,
while allowing self-organisation and self-healing. The LTE-Advanced architecture is heterogeneous,
consisting of different radio access technologies (RATs), such as macrocell, smallcells, cooperative
relay nodes (RNs), having various capabilities, and coexisting in the same geographical coverage
area. These network improvements come with different challenges that affect usersâ quality of
service (QoS) and network performance. These challenges include; interference management, high
energy consumption and poor coverage of marginal users. Hence, developing mitigation schemes for
these identified challenges is the focus of this thesis.
The exponential growth of mobile broadband data usage and poor networksâ performance along
the cell edges, result in a large increase of the energy consumption for both base stations (BSs) and
users. This due to improper RN placement or deployment that creates severe inter-cell and intracell
interferences in the networks. It is therefore, necessary to investigate appropriate RN placement
techniques which offer efficient coverage extension while reducing energy consumption and mitigating
interference in LTE-Advanced femtocell networks. This work proposes energy efficient and optimal
RN placement (EEORNP) algorithm based on greedy algorithm to assure improved and effective
coverage extension. The performance of the proposed algorithm is investigated in terms of coverage
percentage and number of RN needed to cover marginalised users and found to outperform other RN
placement schemes.
Transceiver design has gained importance as one of the effective tools of interference
management. Centralised transceiver design techniques have been used to improve network
performance for LTE-Advanced networks in terms of mean square error (MSE), bit error rate (BER)
and sum-rate. The centralised transceiver design techniques are not effective and computationally
feasible for distributed cooperative heterogeneous networks, the systems considered in this thesis.
This work proposes decentralised transceivers design based on the least-square (LS) and minimum MSE (MMSE) pilot-aided channel estimations for interference management in uplink
LTE-Advanced femtocell networks. The decentralised transceiver algorithms are designed for the
femtocells, the macrocell user equipments (MUEs), RNs and the cell edge macrocell UEs (CUEs) in
the half-duplex cooperative relaying systems. The BER performances of the proposed algorithms
with the effect of channel estimation are investigated.
Finally, the EE optimisation is investigated in half-duplex multi-user multiple-input
multiple-output (MU-MIMO) relay systems. The EE optimisation is divided into sub-optimal EE
problems due to the distributed architecture of the MU-MIMO relay systems. The decentralised
approach is employed to design the transceivers such as MUEs, CUEs, RN and femtocells for the
different sub-optimal EE problems. The EE objective functions are formulated as convex
optimisation problems subject to the QoS and transmit powers constraints in case of perfect channel
state information (CSI). The non-convexity of the formulated EE optimisation problems is
surmounted by introducing the EE parameter substractive function into each proposed algorithms.
These EE parameters are updated using the Dinkelbachâs algorithm. The EE optimisation of the
proposed algorithms is achieved after finding the optimal transceivers where the unknown
interference terms in the transmit signals are designed with the zero-forcing (ZF) assumption and
estimation errors are added to improve the EE performances. With the aid of simulation results, the
performance of the proposed decentralised schemes are derived in terms of average EE evaluation
and found to be better than existing algorithms
