Performance of Transmit Antenna Selection in Multiple Input Multiple Output-Orthogonal Space Time Block Code (MIMO-OSTBC) System Joint with Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH)-Turbo Code (TC) in Rayleigh Fading Channel
To enhancing the performance of spatial modulation (SM) systems TAS (Transmit antenna selection) technique need to be essential. This TAS is an effective technique for reducing the Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems computational difficulty and Bit error rate (BER) can increase remarkably by various TAS algorithms. But these selection methods cannot provide code gain, so it is essential to join the TAS with external code to obtain code gain advantages in BER. In some existing work, the improved BER has been perceived by joining Forward Error Correction Code (FEC) and Space Time Block Code (STBC) for MIMO systems provided greater code gain. A multiple TAS-OSTBC technique with new integration of Bose–Chaudhuri–Hocquenghem (BCH)-Turbo code (TC) is proposed in our paper. With external BCH code in sequence with the inner Turbo code, the TAS-OSTBC system is joining. This combination can provide increasing code gain and the effective advantages of the TAS-OSTBC system. To perform the system analysis Rayleigh channel is utilized. In the case with multiple TAS-OSTBC systems, better performance can provide by this new joint of the BCH-Turbo compared to the conventional Turbo code for the Rayleigh fading
Heuristic antenna selection and precoding for a massive MIMO system
Sixth Generation (6G) transceivers are envisioned to feature massively large antenna arrays compared to its predecessor. This will result in even higher spectral efficiency (SE) and multiplexing gains. However, immense concerns remain about the energy efficiency (EE) of such transceivers. This work focuses on partially connected hybrid architectures, with the primary aim of enhancing the EE of the system. To achieve this objective, the study proposes a combined approach of joint antenna selection and precoding, which holds the potential to further optimize the system’s EE while maintaining a satisfactory SE performance levels. The proposed approach incorporates antenna selection based on a meta-heuristic cyclic binary particle swarm optimization algorithm along with successive interference cancellation-based precoding. The results indicate that the proposed solution, in terms of SE and EE, performs very close to the optimal exhaustive search algorithm. This study also investigates the trade-off between SE and EE in a low and high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regimes. The robustness of the proposed scheme is also demonstrated when the channel state information is imperfect. In conclusion, this work presents a lower complexity approach to enhance EE in 6G transceivers while maintaining SE performance and along with a reduction in power consumption
Beamforming management and beam training in 5G system
Massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system with beamforming technique is an integral part of upcoming 5G new radio (NR) system. For the upcoming deployment of 5G NR system in both stand-alone (SA) and non-stand-alone (NSA) structure, beamforming plays an important role to achieve its key features and meet the estimated requirement. To be employed with massive MIMO antenna structure, beamforming will allow 5G system to serve several users at a time with better throughput and spectral usage. Beamforming will also minimize the path loss due to high susceptibility of millimetre wave and provide beamforming gain. For a wide range of benefit scheme, beamforming is currently a hot topic regarding the deployment of 5G. With the advantage of both analog and digital beamforming, hybrid beamforming structure can provide better system benchmark performance in terms of cost and flexibility. Switched beam training and adaptive beam training approaches and algorithms are developed in order to reduce training time, signalling overhead and misdetection probability. Some of the approaches and algorithm are addressed in this thesis. Beamforming management ensures the initiation and sustainability of the established link between transmitter and receiver through different processes. Beam tracking helps to keep track of the receiver devices during mobility. As beamforming is related to antenna configuration, near-field spherical wave front incident problem was ignored, and all the references and examples presented in this topic was obtained with a far-field propagation perspective. To avoid mutual coupling between antenna elements and grating lobe problems in antenna radiation pattern, each element is separated by half of the wavelength. This thesis paper aims to provide a broader view into beamforming scenario, starting from the basics of beamforming to training the beams and management aspects in the hardware part of 5G structure. Another goal is to present the necessity of beamforming in a 5G system by stating different benefits scheme such as spatial diversity, interference suppression, energy efficiency, spectral efficiency and so on. These benefits are justified by evaluating various research paper and MATLAB simulations
Photonics-assisted analog wideband self-interference cancellation for in-band full-duplex MIMO systems with adaptive digital amplitude and delay pre-matching
A photonics-assisted analog wideband RF self-interference (SI) cancellation
and frequency downconversion approach for in-band full-duplex (IBFD)
multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with adaptive digital amplitude
and delay pre-matching is proposed based on a dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder
modulator (DP-MZM). In each MIMO receiving antenna, the received signal,
including different SI signals from different transmitting antennas and the
signal of interest, is applied to one arm of the upper dual-drive Mach-ehnder
modulator (DD-MZM) of the DP-MZM, the reference signal is applied to the other
arm of the upper DD-MZM, and the local oscillator signal is applied to the
lower DD-MZM. The SI signals are canceled in the optical domain in the upper
DD-MZM and the frequency downconversion is achieved after photodetection. To
cancel the SI signals, the reference signal is constructed in the digital
domain, while the amplitude and delay of the constructed reference are adjusted
digitally by upsampling with high accuracy. Experiments are performed when two
different SI signals are employed. The genetic algorithm and least-squares
algorithm are combined with segmented searching respectively for the SI signal
reconstruction and amplitude and delay pre-matching. A cancellation depth of
around 20 dB is achieved for the 1-Gbaud 16 quadrature-amplitude modulation
orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing signal.Comment: 25 pages, 17 figure

Array Architectures and Physical Layer Design for Millimeter-Wave Communications Beyond 5G
Ever increasing demands in mobile data rates have resulted in exploration of millimeter-wave (mmW) frequencies for the next generation (5G) wireless networks. Communications at mmW frequencies is presented with two keys challenges. Firstly, high propagation loss requires base stations (BSs) and user equipment (UEs) to use a large number of antennas and narrow beams to close the link with sufficient received signal power. Consequently, communications using narrow beams create a new challenge in channel estimation and link establishment based on fine angular probing. Current mmW system use analog phased arrays that can probe only one angle at the time which results in high latency during link establishment and channel tracking. It is desirable to design low latency beam training by exploring both physical layer designs and array architectures that could replace current 5G approaches and pave the way to the communications for frequency bands in higher mmW band and sub-THz region where larger antenna arrays and communications bandwidth can be exploited. To this end, we propose a novel signal processing techniques exploiting unique properties of mmW channel, and show both theoretically, in simulation and experiments its advantages over conventional approaches. Secondly, we explore different array architecture design and analyze their trade-offs between spectral efficiency and power consumption and area. For comprehensive comparison, we have developed a methodology for optimal design of system parameters for different array architecture candidates based on the spectral efficiency target, and use these parameters to estimate the array area and power consumption based on the circuits reported in the literature. We show that the hybrid analog and digital architectures have severe scalability concerns in radio frequency signal distribution with increased array size and spatial multiplexing levels, while the fully-digital array architectures have the best performance and power/area trade-offs.The developed approaches are based on a cross-disciplinary research that combines innovation in model based signal processing, machine learning, and radio hardware. This work is the first to apply compressive sensing (CS), a signal processing tool that exploits sparsity of mmW channel model, to accelerate beam training of mmW cellular system. The algorithm is designed to address practical issues including the requirement of cell discovery and synchronization that involves estimation of angular channel together with carrier frequency offset and timing offsets. We have analyzed the algorithm performance in the 5G compliant simulation and showed that an order of magnitude saving is achieved in initial access latency for the desired channel estimation accuracy. Moreover, we are the first to develop and implement a neural network assisted compressive beam alignment to deal with hardware impairments in mmW radios. We have used 60GHz mmW testbed to perform experiments and show that neural networks approach enhances alignment rate compared to CS. To further accelerate beam training, we proposed a novel frequency selective probing beams using the true-time-delay (TTD) analog array architecture. Our approach utilizes different subcarriers to scan different directions, and achieves a single-shot beam alignment, the fastest approach reported to date. Our comprehensive analysis of different array architectures and exploration of emerging architectures enabled us to develop an order of magnitude faster and energy efficient approaches for initial access and channel estimation in mmW systems
