Multiuser MIMO techniques with feedback
Kooperative Antennenanlagen haben vor kurzem einen heißen Forschungsthema geworden, da Sie deutlich höhere spektrale Effizienz als herkömmliche zelluläre Systeme versprechen. Der Gewinn wird durch die Eliminierung von Inter-Zelle Störungen (ICI) durch Koordinierung der-Antenne Übertragungen erworben. Vor kurzem, verteilte Organisation Methoden vorgeschlagen. Eine der größten Herausforderungen für das Dezentrale kooperative Antennensystem ist Kanalschätzung für den Downlink Kanal besonders wenn FDD verwendet wird. Alle zugehörigen Basisstationen im genossenschaftlichen Bereich müssen die vollständige Kanal Informationen zu Wissen, die entsprechenden precoding Gewicht Matrix zu berechnen. Diese Information ist von mobilen Stationen übertragen werden Stationen mit Uplink Ressourcen zu stützen. Wird als mehrere Basisstationen und mehreren mobilen Stationen in kooperativen Antennensysteme und jede Basisstation und Mobilstation beteiligt sind, können mit mehreren Antennen ausgestattet sein, die Anzahl der Kanal Parameter wieder gefüttert werden erwartet, groß zu sein. In dieser Arbeit wird ein effizientes Feedback Techniken der downlink Kanal Informationen sind für die Multi-user Multiple Input Multiple Output Fall vorgeschlagen, der insbesondere auf verteilte kooperative Antennensysteme zielt. Zuerst wird ein Unterraum-basiertes Kanalquantisierungsverfahren vorgeschlagen, das ein vorbestimmtes Codebuch verwendet. Ein iterativer Codebuchentwurfsalgorithmus wird vorgeschlagen, der zu einem lokalen optimalen Codebuch konvergiert. Darüber hinaus werden Feedback-Overhead-Reduktionsverfahren entwickelt, die die zeitliche Korrelation des Kanals ausnutzen. Es wird gezeigt, dass das vorgeschlagene adaptive Codebuchverfahren in Verbindung mit einem Datenkomprimierungsschema eine Leistung nahe an dem perfekten Kanalfall erzielt, was viel weniger Rückkopplungsoverhead im Vergleich zu anderen Techniken erfordert. Das auf dem Unterraum basierende Kanalquantisierungsverfahren wird erweitert, indem mehrere Antennen auf der Senderseite und/oder auf der Empfängerseite eingeführt werden, und die Leistung eines Vorcodierungs- (/Decodierungs-) Schemas mit regulierter Blockdiagonalisierung (RBD) wurde untersucht. Es wird ein kosteneffizientes Decodierungsmatrixquantisierungsverfahren vorgeschlagen, dass eine komplexe Berechnung an der Mobilstation vermeiden kann, während es nur eine leichte Verschlechterung zeigt. Die Arbeit wird abgeschlossen, indem die vorgeschlagenen Feedback-Methoden hinsichtlich ihrer Leistung, ihres erforderlichen Feedback-Overheads und ihrer Rechenkomplexität verglichen werden.Cooperative antenna systems have recently become a hot research topic, as they promise significantly higher spectral efficiency than conventional cellular systems. The gain is acquired by eliminating inter-cell interference (ICI) through coordination of the base antenna transmissions. Recently, distributed organization methods have been suggested. One of the main challenges of the distributed cooperative antenna system is channel estimation for the downlink channel especially when FDD is used. All of the associated base stations in the cooperative area need to know the full channel state information to calculate the corresponding precoding weight matrix. This information has to be transferred from mobile stations to base stations by using uplink resources. As several base stations and several mobile stations are involved in cooperative antenna systems and each base station and mobile station may be equipped with multiple antennas, the number of channel state parameters to be fed back is expected to be big. In this thesis, efficient feedback techniques of the downlink channel state information are proposed for the multi-user multiple-input multiple-output case, targeting distributed cooperative antenna systems in particular. First, a subspace based channel quantization method is proposed which employs a predefined codebook. An iterative codebook design algorithm is proposed which converges to a local optimum codebook. Furthermore, feedback overhead reduction methods are devised exploiting temporal correlation of the channel. It is shown that the proposed adaptive codebook method in conjunction with a data compression scheme achieves a performance close to the perfect channel case, requiring much less feedback overhead compared with other techniques. The subspace based channel quantization method is extended by introducing multiple antennas at the transmitter side and/or at the receiver side and the performance of a regularized block diagonalization (RBD) precoding(/decoding) scheme has been investigated as well as a zero-forcing (ZF) precoding scheme. A cost-efficient decoding matrix quantization method is proposed which can avoid a complex computation at the mobile station while showing only a slight degradation. The thesis is concluded by comparing the proposed feedback methods in terms of their performance, their required feedback overhead, and their computational complexity. The techniques that are developed in this thesis can be useful and applicable for 5G, which is envisioned to support the high granularity/resolution codebook and its efficient deployment schemes.

Joint Source-Channel Codes for MIMO Block Fading Channels
We consider transmission of a continuous amplitude source over an L-block
Rayleigh fading MIMO channel when the channel state
information is only available at the receiver. Since the channel is not
ergodic, Shannon's source-channel separation theorem becomes obsolete and the
optimal performance requires a joint source -channel approach. Our goal is to
minimize the expected end-to-end distortion, particularly in the high SNR
regime. The figure of merit is the distortion exponent, defined as the
exponential decay rate of the expected distortion with increasing SNR. We
provide an upper bound and lower bounds for the distortion exponent with
respect to the bandwidth ratio among the channel and source bandwidths. For the
lower bounds, we analyze three different strategies based on layered source
coding concatenated with progressive, superposition or hybrid digital/analog
transmission. In each case, by adjusting the system parameters we optimize the
distortion exponent as a function of the bandwidth ratio. We prove that the
distortion exponent upper bound can be achieved when the channel has only one
degree of freedom, that is L=1, and . When we have more
degrees of freedom, our achievable distortion exponents meet the upper bound
for only certain ranges of the bandwidth ratio. We demonstrate that our
results, which were derived for a complex Gaussian source, can be extended to
more general source distributions as well.Comment: 36 pages, 11 figure

Advanced DSP Techniques for High-Capacity and Energy-Efficient Optical Fiber Communications
The rapid proliferation of the Internet has been driving communication networks closer and closer to their limits, while available bandwidth is disappearing due to an ever-increasing network load. Over the past decade, optical fiber communication technology has increased per fiber data rate from 10 Tb/s to exceeding 10 Pb/s. The major explosion came after the maturity of coherent detection and advanced digital signal processing (DSP). DSP has played a critical role in accommodating channel impairments mitigation, enabling advanced modulation formats for spectral efficiency transmission and realizing flexible bandwidth. This book aims to explore novel, advanced DSP techniques to enable multi-Tb/s/channel optical transmission to address pressing bandwidth and power-efficiency demands. It provides state-of-the-art advances and future perspectives of DSP as well
Limited feedback MIMO techniques for temporally correlated channels and linear receivers
Advanced mobile wireless networks will make extensive use of multiantenna (MIMO) transceivers to comply with high requirements of data rates and reliability. The use of feedback channels is of paramount importance to achieve this goal in systems employing frequency division duplexing (FDD). The design of the feedback mechanism is challenging due to the severe constraints imposed by computational complexity and feedback bandwidth restrictions.
This thesis addresses the design of transmission strategies in both single-user and multi-user MIMO systems, based on compact feedback messages. First, recursive feedback mechanisms for single-user transmission scenarios are proposed, including stochastic gradient techniques, deterministic updates based on Givens rotations and low computational complexity schemes based on partial update filtering concepts. Thereafter, channel feedback algorithms are proposed, and a convergence analysis for static channels is presented. These algorithms can be used to provide channel side information to any multi-user MIMO solution. A limited-feedback decentralized multi-user MIMO solution is proposed, which avoids the need for explicit channel feedback. A feed-forward technique is proposed, which allows our methods to operate in presence of feedback errors.
The performance of all the proposed algorithms is illustrated via link-level simulations, where the effect of different parameter values is assessed. Our results show that the proposed methods outperform existing limited-feedback counterparts over a range of low to medium mobile speeds, for moderate antenna array sizes that are deemed practical for commercial deployment. The computational complexity reduction of some of the proposed algorithms is also shown to be considerable, when compared to existing techniques

Multi-User Massive MIMO Channel Estimation Based on Kalman Filters
In wireless communication, channel state information (CSI) is essential for data detection. Fast fading coefficients estimation is important in order to acquire accurate CSI. Kalman filters (KF) are widely used for real time parameter estimation and can be used to estimate the fast fading coefficients of a mobile communication channel. Previous attempts at applying the KF to estimate fast fading coefficients of a massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) channel assume that the channel autocorrelation is constant or varies weakly. Due to the fact that the carrier frequency of 5G massive MIMO systems reach tens of giga hertz, the channel autocorrelation could vary more acutely. The large number of antennas used in massive MIMO also increases the size of channel coefficients matrix. Therefore, some previous approaches based on nonlinear KF lead to high computational complexity. In order to improve system robustness of a nonlinear time varying channel and ease the computational demand, a combined channel coefficient and autocorrelation estimator based on the KF is presented in this thesis. With the substantially improved receiver channel diversity provided by the massive MIMO system, a fairly accurate channel autocorrelation estimate can be achieved with linear estimator. Compared to previous non-linear estimators, the proposed method is more practical because the computational complexity is reduced substantially. It is shown through simulation that our combined channel coefficients and autocorrelation estimator can improve the mean square error (MSE) for all possible variations of channel autocorrelation
