Joint power allocation for MIMO-OFDM full-duplex relaying communications
© 2017, The Author(s). In this paper, we address the problem of joint power allocation in a two-hop MIMO-OFDM network, where two full-duplex users communicate with each other via an amplify-and-forward relay. We consider a general model in which the full-duplex relay can forward the received message in either one-way or two-way mode. Our aim is to maximize the instantaneous end-to-end total throughput, subject to (i) the separate sum-power constraints at individual nodes or (ii) the joint sum-power constraint of the whole network. The formulated problems are large-scale nonconvex optimization problems, for which efficient and optimal solutions are currently not available. Using the successive convex approximation approach, we develop novel iterative algorithms of extremely low complexity which are especially suitable for large-scale computation. In each iteration, a simple closed-form solution is derived for the approximated convex program. The proposed algorithms guarantee to converge to at least a local optimum of the nonconvex problems. Numerical results verify that the devised solutions converge quickly, and that our optimal power allocation schemes significantly improve the throughput of MIMO-OFDM full-duplex one-way/two-way relaying over the conventional half-duplex relaying strategy
Rate Balancing in Full-Duplex MIMO Two-Way Relay Networks
Maximizing the minimum rate for a full-duplex multiple-input multiple-output
(MIMO) wireless network encompassing two sources and a two-way (TW) relay
operating in a two hop manner is investigated. To improve the overall
performance, using a zero-forcing approach at the relay to suppress the
residual self-interference arising from full-duplex (FD) operation, the
underlying max-min problem is cast as an optimization problem which is
non-convex. To circumvent this issue, semidefinite relaxation technique is
employed, leading to upper and lower bound solutions for the optimization
problem. Numerical results verify that the upper and lower bound solutions
closely follow each other, showing that the proposed approach results in a
close-to-optimal solution. In addition, the impact of residual
self-interference upon the overall performance of the network in terms of the
minimum rate is illustrated by numerical results, and for low residual
self-interference scenarios the superiority of the proposed method compared to
an analogous half-duplex (HD) counterpart is shown
Joint Source and Relay Precoding Designs for MIMO Two-Way Relaying Based on MSE Criterion
Properly designed precoders can significantly improve the spectral efficiency
of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relay systems. In this paper, we
investigate joint source and relay precoding design based on the
mean-square-error (MSE) criterion in MIMO two-way relay systems, where two
multi-antenna source nodes exchange information via a multi-antenna
amplify-and-forward relay node. This problem is non-convex and its optimal
solution remains unsolved. Aiming to find an efficient way to solve the
problem, we first decouple the primal problem into three tractable
sub-problems, and then propose an iterative precoding design algorithm based on
alternating optimization. The solution to each sub-problem is optimal and
unique, thus the convergence of the iterative algorithm is guaranteed.
Secondly, we propose a structured precoding design to lower the computational
complexity. The proposed precoding structure is able to parallelize the
channels in the multiple access (MAC) phase and broadcast (BC) phase. It thus
reduces the precoding design to a simple power allocation problem. Lastly, for
the special case where only a single data stream is transmitted from each
source node, we present a source-antenna-selection (SAS) based precoding design
algorithm. This algorithm selects only one antenna for transmission from each
source and thus requires lower signalling overhead. Comprehensive simulation is
conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of all the proposed precoding designs.Comment: 32 pages, 10 figure
How to Understand LMMSE Transceiver Design for MIMO Systems From Quadratic Matrix Programming
In this paper, a unified linear minimum mean-square-error (LMMSE) transceiver
design framework is investigated, which is suitable for a wide range of
wireless systems. The unified design is based on an elegant and powerful
mathematical programming technology termed as quadratic matrix programming
(QMP). Based on QMP it can be observed that for different wireless systems,
there are certain common characteristics which can be exploited to design LMMSE
transceivers e.g., the quadratic forms. It is also discovered that evolving
from a point-to-point MIMO system to various advanced wireless systems such as
multi-cell coordinated systems, multi-user MIMO systems, MIMO cognitive radio
systems, amplify-and-forward MIMO relaying systems and so on, the quadratic
nature is always kept and the LMMSE transceiver designs can always be carried
out via iteratively solving a number of QMP problems. A comprehensive framework
on how to solve QMP problems is also given. The work presented in this paper is
likely to be the first shoot for the transceiver design for the future
ever-changing wireless systems.Comment: 31 pages, 4 figures, Accepted by IET Communication
