Robust Beamforming for Amplify-and-Forward MIMO Relay Systems Based on Quadratic Matrix Programming
In this paper, robust transceiver design based on minimum-mean-square-error
(MMSE) criterion for dual-hop amplify-and-forward MIMO relay systems is
investigated. The channel estimation errors are modeled as Gaussian random
variables, and then the effect are incorporated into the robust transceiver
based on the Bayesian framework. An iterative algorithm is proposed to jointly
design the precoder at the source, the forward matrix at the relay and the
equalizer at the destination, and the joint design problem can be efficiently
solved by quadratic matrix programming (QMP).Comment: Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech,

Robust Transceiver Design for AF MIMO Relay Systems with Column Correlations
In this paper, we investigate the robust transceiver design for dual-hop
amplify-and-forward (AF) MIMO relay systems with Gaussian distributed channel
estimation errors. Aiming at maximizing the mutual information under imperfect
channel state information (CSI), source precoder at source and forwarding
matrix at the relay are jointly optimized. Using some elegant attributes of
matrix-monotone functions, the structures of the optimal solutions are derived
first. Then based on the derived structure an iterative waterfilling solution
is proposed. Several existing algorithms are shown to be special cases of the
proposed solution. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed robust design is
demonstrated by simulation results.Comment: 6 Pages, 1 Figur
Uplink LMMSE beamforming design for cellular networks with AF MIMO relaying
In this paper, linear beamforming design for uplink amplify-and-forward relaying cellular networks, in which multiple mobile terminals rely on one relay station to communicate with the base station, is investigated. In particular, the base station, relay station and mobile terminals are all equipped with multiple antennas. Based on linear minimum mean-square-error (LMMSE) criterion and exploiting a hidden convexity in the problem, the precoder matrices at multiple mobile terminals, forwarding matrix at relay station and equalizer matrix at base station are jointly designed. Furthermore, several existing linear beamforming designs for multi-user (MU) MIMO systems and AF MIMO relaying systems can be considered as special cases of the proposed solution. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the performance advantage of the proposed algorithm. © 2011 IEEE.published_or_final_versionThe 2011 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference (GLOBECOM 2011), Beijing, China, 5-9 December 2011.

Minimum error probability MIMO-aided relaying: multihop, parallel, and cognitive designs
A design methodology based on the minimum error probability (MEP) framework is proposed for a nonregenerative multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relayaided system. We consider the associated cognitive, the parallel and the multi-hop source-relay-destination (SRD) link design based on this MEP framework, including the transmit precoder, the amplify-and-forward (AF) relay matrix and the receiver equalizer matrix of our system. It has been shown in the literature that MEP based communication systems are capable of improving the error probability of other linear counterparts. Our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme indeed achieves a significant BER reduction over the existing linear schemes
Joint Source and Relay Precoding Designs for MIMO Two-Way Relaying Based on MSE Criterion
Properly designed precoders can significantly improve the spectral efficiency
of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relay systems. In this paper, we
investigate joint source and relay precoding design based on the
mean-square-error (MSE) criterion in MIMO two-way relay systems, where two
multi-antenna source nodes exchange information via a multi-antenna
amplify-and-forward relay node. This problem is non-convex and its optimal
solution remains unsolved. Aiming to find an efficient way to solve the
problem, we first decouple the primal problem into three tractable
sub-problems, and then propose an iterative precoding design algorithm based on
alternating optimization. The solution to each sub-problem is optimal and
unique, thus the convergence of the iterative algorithm is guaranteed.
Secondly, we propose a structured precoding design to lower the computational
complexity. The proposed precoding structure is able to parallelize the
channels in the multiple access (MAC) phase and broadcast (BC) phase. It thus
reduces the precoding design to a simple power allocation problem. Lastly, for
the special case where only a single data stream is transmitted from each
source node, we present a source-antenna-selection (SAS) based precoding design
algorithm. This algorithm selects only one antenna for transmission from each
source and thus requires lower signalling overhead. Comprehensive simulation is
conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of all the proposed precoding designs.Comment: 32 pages, 10 figure
