On the Performance of Multi-Stream Receive Spatial Modulation in the MIMO Broadcast Channel
International audienceIn this paper, a novel architecture for the Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) broadcast channel is proposed and studied. The new architecture is based on the concept of Multi- Stream Receive-Spatial Modulation (MSR-SM). MSR-SM is a closed-loop transmission scheme, which applies the concept of multi-stream space modulation at the receiver side. A new and accurate framework for computing the Average Bit Error Probability (ABEP) of the new architecture is proposed. In addition, the new architecture is compared against the state- of-the-art MIMO transmission in the broadcast channel and it is shown to: i) provide superior Bit Error Rate (BER) performance in the high Signal-to-Noise-Ratio (SNR) regime and ii) reduce the signal processing complexity at the transmitter

Future transmitter/receiver diversity schemes in broadcast wireless networks
An open diversity architecture for a cooperating broadcast wireless network is presented that exploits the strengths of the existing digital broadcast standards. Different diversity techniques for broadcast networks that will minimize the complexity of broadcast systems and improve received SNR of broadcast signals are described. Resulting digital broadcast networks could require fewer transmitter sites and thus be more cost-effective with less environmental impact. Transmit diversity is particularly investigated since it obviates the major disadvantage of receive diversity being the difficulty of locating two receive antennas far enough apart in a small mobile device. The schemes examined here are compatible with existing broadcast and cellular telecom standards and can be incorporated into existing systems without change
Diversity gain for DVB-H by using transmitter/receiver cyclic delay diversity
The objective of this paper is to investigate different diversity techniques for broadcast networks that will minimize the complexity and improve received SNR of broadcast systems.
Resultant digital broadcast networks would require fewer transmitter sites and thus be more cost-effective and have less environmental impact. The techniques can be applied to DVB-T,
DVB-H and DAB systems that use Orthogonal Frequency Division Multplexing (OFDM). These are key radio broadcast network technologies, which are expected to complement emerging technologies
such as WiMAX and future 4G networks for delivery
of broadband content. Transmitter and receiver diversity technologies can increase the frequency and time selectivity of the resulting channel transfer function at the receiver. Diversity exploits the statistical nature of fading due to multipath and reduces the likelihood of deep fading by providing a diversity of transmission signals. Multiple signals are transmitted in such
a way as to ensure that several signals reach the receiver each with uncorrelated fading. Transmit diversity is more practical than receive diversity due to the difficulty of locating two receive antennas far enough apart in a small mobile device. The schemes examined here comply with existing DVB standards and can be incorporated into existing systems without change. The diversity techniques introduced in this paper are applied to the DVB-H system. Bit error performance investigations were conducted by
simulation for different DVB-H and diversity parameters
Downlink SDMA with Limited Feedback in Interference-Limited Wireless Networks
The tremendous capacity gains promised by space division multiple access
(SDMA) depend critically on the accuracy of the transmit channel state
information. In the broadcast channel, even without any network interference,
it is known that such gains collapse due to interstream interference if the
feedback is delayed or low rate. In this paper, we investigate SDMA in the
presence of interference from many other simultaneously active transmitters
distributed randomly over the network. In particular we consider zero-forcing
beamforming in a decentralized (ad hoc) network where each receiver provides
feedback to its respective transmitter. We derive closed-form expressions for
the outage probability, network throughput, transmission capacity, and average
achievable rate and go on to quantify the degradation in network performance
due to residual self-interference as a function of key system parameters. One
particular finding is that as in the classical broadcast channel, the per-user
feedback rate must increase linearly with the number of transmit antennas and
SINR (in dB) for the full multiplexing gains to be preserved with limited
feedback. We derive the throughput-maximizing number of streams, establishing
that single-stream transmission is optimal in most practically relevant
settings. In short, SDMA does not appear to be a prudent design choice for
interference-limited wireless networks.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communication
A New SLNR-based Linear Precoding for Downlink Multi-User Multi-Stream MIMO Systems
Signal-to-leakage-and-noise ratio (SLNR) is a promising criterion for linear
precoder design in multi-user (MU) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
systems. It decouples the precoder design problem and makes closed-form
solution available. In this letter, we present a new linear precoding scheme by
slightly relaxing the SLNR maximization for MU-MIMO systems with multiple data
streams per user. The precoding matrices are obtained by a general form of
simultaneous diagonalization of two Hermitian matrices. The new scheme reduces
the gap between the per-stream effective channel gains, an inherent limitation
in the original SLNR precoding scheme. Simulation results demonstrate that the
proposed precoding achieves considerable gains in error performance over the
original one for multi-stream transmission while maintaining almost the same
achievable sum-rate.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figur
Detect-and-forward relaying aided cooperative spatial modulation for wireless networks
A novel detect-and-forward (DeF) relaying aided cooperative SM scheme is proposed, which is capable of striking a flexible tradeoff in terms of the achievable bit error ratio (BER), complexity and unequal error protection (UEP). More specifically, SM is invoked at the source node (SN) and the information bit stream is divided into two different sets: the antenna index-bits (AI-bits) as well as the amplitude and phase modulation-bits (APM-bits). By exploiting the different importance of the AI-bits and the APM-bits in SM detection, we propose three low-complexity, yet powerful relay protocols, namely the partial, the hybrid and the hierarchical modulation (HM) based DeF relaying schemes. These schemes determine the most appropriate number of bits to be re-modulated by carefully considering their potential benefits and then assigning a specific modulation scheme for relaying the message. As a further benefit, the employment of multiple radio frequency (RF) chains and the requirement of tight inter-relay synchronization (IRS) can be avoided. Moreover, by exploiting the benefits of our low-complexity relaying protocols and our inter-element interference (IEI) model, a low-complexity maximum-likelihood (ML) detector is proposed for jointly detecting the signal received both via the source-destination (SD) and relay-destination (RD) links. Additionally, an upper bound of the BER is derived for our DeF-SM scheme. Our numerical results show that the bound is asymptotically tight in the high-SNR region and the proposed schemes provide beneficial system performance improvements compared to the conventional MIMO schemes in an identical cooperative scenario.<br/
