Compressive Sensing for Feedback Reduction in MIMO Broadcast Channels
We propose a generalized feedback model and compressive sensing based
opportunistic feedback schemes for feedback resource reduction in MIMO
Broadcast Channels under the assumption that both uplink and downlink channels
undergo block Rayleigh fading. Feedback resources are shared and are
opportunistically accessed by users who are strong, i.e. users whose channel
quality information is above a certain fixed threshold. Strong users send same
feedback information on all shared channels. They are identified by the base
station via compressive sensing. Both analog and digital feedbacks are
considered. The proposed analog & digital opportunistic feedback schemes are
shown to achieve the same sum-rate throughput as that achieved by dedicated
feedback schemes, but with feedback channels growing only logarithmically with
number of users. Moreover, there is also a reduction in the feedback load. In
the analog feedback case, we show that the propose scheme reduces the feedback
noise which eventually results in better throughput, whereas in the digital
feedback case the proposed scheme in a noisy scenario achieves almost the
throughput obtained in a noiseless dedicated feedback scenario. We also show
that for a fixed given budget of feedback bits, there exist a trade-off between
the number of shared channels and thresholds accuracy of the feedback SINR.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, April 200
Random Beamforming with Heterogeneous Users and Selective Feedback: Individual Sum Rate and Individual Scaling Laws
This paper investigates three open problems in random beamforming based
communication systems: the scheduling policy with heterogeneous users, the
closed form sum rate, and the randomness of multiuser diversity with selective
feedback. By employing the cumulative distribution function based scheduling
policy, we guarantee fairness among users as well as obtain multiuser diversity
gain in the heterogeneous scenario. Under this scheduling framework, the
individual sum rate, namely the average rate for a given user multiplied by the
number of users, is of interest and analyzed under different feedback schemes.
Firstly, under the full feedback scheme, we derive the closed form individual
sum rate by employing a decomposition of the probability density function of
the selected user's signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio. This technique is
employed to further obtain a closed form rate approximation with selective
feedback in the spatial dimension. The analysis is also extended to random
beamforming in a wideband OFDMA system with additional selective feedback in
the spectral dimension wherein only the best beams for the best-L resource
blocks are fed back. We utilize extreme value theory to examine the randomness
of multiuser diversity incurred by selective feedback. Finally, by leveraging
the tail equivalence method, the multiplicative effect of selective feedback
and random observations is observed to establish the individual rate scaling.Comment: Submitted in March 2012. To appear in IEEE Transactions on Wireless

An Analytical Framework for Heterogeneous Partial Feedback Design in Heterogeneous Multicell OFDMA Networks
The inherent heterogeneous structure resulting from user densities and large
scale channel effects motivates heterogeneous partial feedback design in
heterogeneous networks. In such emerging networks, a distributed scheduling
policy which enjoys multiuser diversity as well as maintains fairness among
users is favored for individual user rate enhancement and guarantees. For a
system employing the cumulative distribution function based scheduling, which
satisfies the two above mentioned desired features, we develop an analytical
framework to investigate heterogeneous partial feedback in a general
OFDMA-based heterogeneous multicell employing the best-M partial feedback
strategy. Exact sum rate analysis is first carried out and closed form
expressions are obtained by a novel decomposition of the probability density
function of the selected user's signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio. To
draw further insight, we perform asymptotic analysis using extreme value theory
to examine the effect of partial feedback on the randomness of multiuser
diversity, show the asymptotic optimality of best-1 feedback, and derive an
asymptotic approximation for the sum rate in order to determine the minimum
required partial feedback.Comment: To appear in IEEE Trans. on Signal Processin
OTFS-NOMA: An Efficient Approach for Exploiting Heterogenous User Mobility Profiles
This paper considers a challenging communication scenario, in which users
have heterogenous mobility profiles, e.g., some users are moving at high speeds
and some users are static. A new non-orthogonal multiple-access (NOMA)
transmission protocol that incorporates orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS)
modulation is proposed. Thereby, users with different mobility profiles are
grouped together for the implementation of NOMA. The proposed OTFS-NOMA
protocol is shown to be applicable to both uplink and downlink transmission,
where sophisticated transmit and receive strategies are developed to remove
inter-symbol interference and harvest both multi-path and multi-user diversity.
Analytical results demonstrate that both the high-mobility and low-mobility
users benefit from the application of OTFS-NOMA. In particular, the use of NOMA
allows the spreading of the high-mobility users' signals over a large amount of
time-frequency resources, which enhances the OTFS resolution and improves the
detection reliability. In addition, OTFS-NOMA ensures that low-mobility users
have access to bandwidth resources which in conventional OTFS-orthogonal
multiple access (OTFS-NOMA) would be solely occupied by the high-mobility
users. Thus, OTFS-NOMA improves the spectral efficiency and reduces latency
Advanced Radio Resource Management for Multi Antenna Packet Radio Systems
In this paper, we propose fairness-oriented packet scheduling (PS) schemes
with power-efficient control mechanism for future packet radio systems. In
general, the radio resource management functionality plays an important role in
new OFDMA based networks. The control of the network resource division among
the users is performed by packet scheduling functionality based on maximizing
cell coverage and capacity satisfying, and certain quality of service
requirements. Moreover, multiantenna transmit-receive schemes provide
additional flexibility to packet scheduler functionality. In order to mitigate
inter-cell and co-channel interference problems in OFDMA cellular networks soft
frequency reuse with different power masks patterns is used. Stemming from the
earlier enhanced proportional fair scheduler studies for single-input
multiple-output (SIMO) and multiple-input multipleoutput (MIMO) systems, we
extend the development of efficient packet scheduling algorithms by adding
transmit power considerations in the overall priority metrics calculations and
scheduling decisions. Furthermore, we evaluate the proposed scheduling schemes
by simulating practical orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA)
based packet radio system in terms of throughput, coverage and fairness
distribution among users. As a concrete example, under reduced overall transmit
power constraint and unequal power distribution for different sub-bands, we
demonstrate that by using the proposed power-aware multi-user scheduling
schemes, significant coverage and fairness improvements in the order of 70% and
20%, respectively, can be obtained, at the expense of average throughput loss
of only 15%.Comment: 14 Pages, IJWM
