Degraded Broadcast Diamond Channels with Non-Causal State Information at the Source
A state-dependent degraded broadcast diamond channel is studied where the
source-to-relays cut is modeled with two noiseless, finite-capacity digital
links with a degraded broadcasting structure, while the relays-to-destination
cut is a general multiple access channel controlled by a random state. It is
assumed that the source has non-causal channel state information and the relays
have no state information. Under this model, first, the capacity is
characterized for the case where the destination has state information, i.e.,
has access to the state sequence. It is demonstrated that in this case, a joint
message and state transmission scheme via binning is optimal. Next, the case
where the destination does not have state information, i.e., the case with
state information at the source only, is considered. For this scenario, lower
and upper bounds on the capacity are derived for the general discrete
memoryless model. Achievable rates are then computed for the case in which the
relays-to-destination cut is affected by an additive Gaussian state. Numerical
results are provided that illuminate the performance advantages that can be
accrued by leveraging non-causal state information at the source.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, Feb. 201
Joint Wireless Information and Energy Transfer with Reduced Feedback in MIMO Interference Channels
To determine the transmission strategy for joint wireless information and
energy transfer (JWIET) in the MIMO interference channel (IFC), the information
access point (IAP) and energy access point (EAP) require the channel state
information (CSI) of their associated links to both the information-decoding
(ID) mobile stations (MSs) and energy-harvesting (EH) MSs (so-called local
CSI). In this paper, to reduce th e feedback overhead of MSs for the JWIET in
two-user MIMO IFC, we propose a Geodesic energy beamforming scheme that
requires partial CSI at the EAP. Furthermore, in the two-user MIMO IFC, it is
proved that the Geodesic energy beamforming is the optimal strategy. By adding
a rank-one constraint on the transmit signal covariance of IAP, we can further
reduce the feedback overhead to IAP by exploiting Geodesic information
beamforming. Under the rank-one constraint of IAP's transmit signal, we prove
that Geodesic information/energy beamforming approach is the optimal strategy
for JWIET in the two-user MIMO IFC. We also discuss the extension of the
proposed rank-one Geodesic information/energy beamforming strategies to general
K-user MIMO IFC. Finally, by analyzing the achievable rate-energy performance
statistically under imperfect partial CSIT, we propose an adaptive bit
allocation strategy for both EH MS and ID MS.Comment: accepted to IEEE Journal of Selected Areas in Communications (IEEE

On the DMT of TDD-SIMO Systems with Channel-Dependent Reverse Channel Training
This paper investigates the Diversity-Multiplexing gain Trade-off (DMT) of a
training based reciprocal Single Input Multiple Output (SIMO) system, with (i)
perfect Channel State Information (CSI) at the Receiver (CSIR) and noisy CSI at
the Transmitter (CSIT), and (ii) noisy CSIR and noisy CSIT. In both the cases,
the CSIT is acquired through Reverse Channel Training (RCT), i.e., by sending a
training sequence from the receiver to the transmitter. A channel-dependent
fixed-power training scheme is proposed for acquiring CSIT, along with a
forward-link data transmit power control scheme. With perfect CSIR, the
proposed scheme is shown to achieve a diversity order that is quadratically
increasing with the number of receive antennas. This is in contrast with
conventional orthogonal RCT schemes, where the diversity order is known to
saturate as the number of receive antennas is increased, for a given channel
coherence time. Moreover, the proposed scheme can achieve a larger DMT compared
to the orthogonal training scheme. With noisy CSIR and noisy CSIT, a three-way
training scheme is proposed and its DMT performance is analyzed. It is shown
that nearly the same diversity order is achievable as in the perfect CSIR case.
The time-overhead in the training schemes is explicitly accounted for in this
work, and the results show that the proposed channel-dependent RCT and data
power control schemes offer a significant improvement in terms of the DMT,
compared to channel-agnostic orthogonal RCT schemes. The outage performance of
the proposed scheme is illustrated through Monte-Carlo simulations.Comment: Accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Communication
Grassmannian Beamforming for MIMO Amplify-and-Forward Relaying
In this paper, we derive the optimal transmitter/ receiver beamforming
vectors and relay weighting matrix for the multiple-input multiple-output
amplify-and-forward relay channel. The analysis is accomplished in two steps.
In the first step, the direct link between the transmitter (Tx) and receiver
(Rx) is ignored and we show that the transmitter and the relay should map their
signals to the strongest right singular vectors of the Tx-relay and relay-Rx
channels. Based on the distributions of these vectors for independent
identically distributed (i.i.d.) Rayleigh channels, the Grassmannian codebooks
are used for quantizing and sending back the channel information to the
transmitter and the relay. The simulation results show that even a few number
of bits can considerably increase the link reliability in terms of bit error
rate. For the second step, the direct link is considered in the problem model
and we derive the optimization problem that identifies the optimal Tx
beamforming vector. For the i.i.d Rayleigh channels, we show that the solution
to this problem is uniformly distributed on the unit sphere and we justify the
appropriateness of the Grassmannian codebook (for determining the optimal
beamforming vector), both analytically and by simulation. Finally, a modified
quantizing scheme is presented which introduces a negligible degradation in the
system performance but significantly reduces the required number of feedback
bits.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Journal of Selected Areas in Communications,
