Incremental rate maximisation power loading with BER improvements
This paper aims to maximise the rate over a MIMO link using incremental power and bit allocation. Two different schemes, greedy power allocation (GPA) and greedy bit allocation (GBA), are addressed and compared with the standard uniform power allocation (UPA). The design is constrained by the target BER, the total power budget, and fixed discrete modulation orders. We demonstrate through simulations that GPA outperforms GBA in terms of throughput and power conservation,while GBA is advantageouswhen a lower BER is beneficial. Once the design constraints are satisfied, remaining power is utilised in two possible ways, leading to improved performance of GPA and UPA algorithms. This redistribution is analysed for fairness in BER performance across all active subchannels using a bisection method
Approximate minimum BER power allocation for MIMO-THP system
This paper proposes a transmit power allocation (TPA) scheme based on multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) Tomlinson-Harashima precoding (THP) structure, where a TPA matrix is introduced to the conventional MIMO-THP. We analyze the influence of the introduced TPA matrix on the performance of MIMO-THP. The proposed TPA scheme invokes the minimum average uncoded bit-error rate (BER) criterion subjected to a sum-power constraint. During the derivation, we consider the effects of precoding loss factor on the TPA scheme and obtain a closed-form expression of the TPA. Compared to existing TPA methods for MIMO-THP systems, the proposed scheme reduces processing complexity and improves the BER performance
Two-Way Training for Discriminatory Channel Estimation in Wireless MIMO Systems
This work examines the use of two-way training to efficiently discriminate
the channel estimation performances at a legitimate receiver (LR) and an
unauthorized receiver (UR) in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless
system. This work improves upon the original discriminatory channel estimation
(DCE) scheme proposed by Chang et al where multiple stages of feedback and
retraining were used. While most studies on physical layer secrecy are under
the information-theoretic framework and focus directly on the data transmission
phase, studies on DCE focus on the training phase and aim to provide a
practical signal processing technique to discriminate between the channel
estimation performances at LR and UR. A key feature of DCE designs is the
insertion of artificial noise (AN) in the training signal to degrade the
channel estimation performance at UR. To do so, AN must be placed in a
carefully chosen subspace based on the transmitter's knowledge of LR's channel
in order to minimize its effect on LR. In this paper, we adopt the idea of
two-way training that allows both the transmitter and LR to send training
signals to facilitate channel estimation at both ends. Both reciprocal and
non-reciprocal channels are considered and a two-way DCE scheme is proposed for
each scenario. {For mathematical tractability, we assume that all terminals
employ the linear minimum mean square error criterion for channel estimation.
Based on the mean square error (MSE) of the channel estimates at all
terminals,} we formulate and solve an optimization problem where the optimal
power allocation between the training signal and AN is found by minimizing the
MSE of LR's channel estimate subject to a constraint on the MSE achievable at
UR. Numerical results show that the proposed DCE schemes can effectively
discriminate between the channel estimation and hence the data detection
performances at LR and UR.Comment: 1
Discrete rate maximisation power allocation with enhanced BER
This study aims to maximise the rate over a multiple-in multiple-out (MIMO) link using incremental power and bit allocation. Two different schemes, greedy power allocation (GPA) and greedy bit allocation (GBA), are addressed and compared with the standard uniform power allocation (UPA). The design is constrained by the target bit error ratio (BER), the total power budget and fixed discrete modulation orders. The authors demonstrate through simulations that GPA outperforms GBA in terms of throughput and power conservation, whereas GBA is advantageous when a lower BER is beneficial. Once the design constraints are satisfied, remaining power is utilised in two possible ways, leading to improved performance of GPA and UPA algorithms. This redistribution is analysed for fairness in BER performance across all active subchannels using a bisection method
Adaptive Power Allocation and Control in Time-Varying Multi-Carrier MIMO Networks
In this paper, we examine the fundamental trade-off between radiated power
and achieved throughput in wireless multi-carrier, multiple-input and
multiple-output (MIMO) systems that vary with time in an unpredictable fashion
(e.g. due to changes in the wireless medium or the users' QoS requirements).
Contrary to the static/stationary channel regime, there is no optimal power
allocation profile to target (either static or in the mean), so the system's
users must adapt to changes in the environment "on the fly", without being able
to predict the system's evolution ahead of time. In this dynamic context, we
formulate the users' power/throughput trade-off as an online optimization
problem and we provide a matrix exponential learning algorithm that leads to no
regret - i.e. the proposed transmit policy is asymptotically optimal in
hindsight, irrespective of how the system evolves over time. Furthermore, we
also examine the robustness of the proposed algorithm under imperfect channel
state information (CSI) and we show that it retains its regret minimization
properties under very mild conditions on the measurement noise statistics. As a
result, users are able to track the evolution of their individually optimum
transmit profiles remarkably well, even under rapidly changing network
conditions and high uncertainty. Our theoretical analysis is validated by
extensive numerical simulations corresponding to a realistic network deployment
and providing further insights in the practical implementation aspects of the
proposed algorithm.Comment: 25 pages, 4 figure
Sum-rate maximisation comparison using incremental approaches with different constraints
In this work, the problem of rate maximisation of multichannel systems is considered. Two greedy allocation approaches using power (GPA) and bit (GBA) loading schemes with a slight difference in design constraints that aiming to maximise the overall system throughput are compared. Both algorithms use incremental bit loading whereby, the GPA is designed with main interest of efficient power utilisation. Whereas, the GBA sacrifices power utilisation to another design issue of achieving an average bit error ratio (BER) less than the target BER. Simulation results shows that with GPA algorithm better throughput is gained over the GBA algorithm while the latter guaranteed less BER
