    On the Outage Capacity of Orthogonal Space-time Block Codes Over Multi-cluster Scattering MIMO Channels

    Full text link
    Multiple cluster scattering MIMO channel is a useful model for pico-cellular MIMO networks. In this paper, orthogonal space-time block coded transmission over such a channel is considered, where the effective channel equals the product of n complex Gaussian matrices. A simple and accurate closed-form approximation to the channel outage capacity has been derived in this setting. The result is valid for an arbitrary number of clusters n-1 of scatterers and an arbitrary antenna configuration. Numerical results are provided to study the relative outage performance between the multi-cluster and the Rayleigh-fading MIMO channels for which n=1.Comment: Added references; changes made in Section 3-

    Outage Information Rate of Spatially Correlated Multi-Cluster Scattering MIMO Channels

    A one-sided spatially-correlated multi-cluster scattering Rayleigh MIMO channel is considered in this work and its outage probability is derived in an analytic form based on Meijer function determinants. First, the spatially-uncorrelated case is addressed and the Moment Generating Function (MGF) of the information rate is expressed in an analytic closed-form. The MGF is then used to obtain the outage probability. A few special cases are addressed to provide a confirmation of the analytic results. Next, the MGF in the one-sided spatially correlated case is derived with the constraint of distinct positive spatial correlation eigenvalues. Numerical results are included to provide confirming evidence of the analytic results. These results are then used to assess the outage probability degradation due to spatial correlation in a selected exampl

    A theoretical framework is developed for analyzing the performance of diversity combining under interference correlation. Stochastic models for different types of diversity combining and networks are presented and used for analysis. These models consider relevant system aspects such as network density, path loss, channel fading, number of antennas, and transmitter/receiver processing. Theoretical results are derived, performance comparisons are presented, and design insights are obtained

First, we construct the DOSTBCs using source and relay in the cooperative communication networks. In order to decode the DOSTBCs, the destination uses the linear combining (LC) decoding scheme. In this system models, the symbol error rate (SER) is formulated and the ROT is calculated to minimize the SER. It is proved that the full diversity order of NDF protocol can be achieved by using the relay on-off scheme with the optimal threshold. In the second part of this dissertation, two new IA schemes aided by relays for quasi-static MX2 X channel are proposed. The first proposed scheme uses one full-duplex relay and it can achieves the maximum DoF. However, at the full-duplex relay, the transmit signal can be strong self-interference, called echo and thus it is difficult to implement practically. To resolve this problem, at the second proposed IA scheme, two half-duplex relays are used and it is proved that the second proposed IA scheme can also achieve the maximum DoF of MX2 X channel. Finally, the selection scheme for IA is proposed for MIMO interference channel. Most of IA schemes are focused on DoF but there is only a few research results for diversity order which is a crucial measure of reliability. Therefore, we propose a selection criterion to minimize SER and analyze the diversity order of the proposed scheme in the MIMO interference channel.Abstract i Contents iv List of Tables vii List of Figures viii 1.

    Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems use multiple transmit and receive antennas to achieve higher data rates by transmitting multiple independent data systems. Transmission errors can be reduced by using Hybrid Automatic Repeat request (HARQ) combining techniques with MIMO systems. In this thesis, the use of HARQ for MIMO multi-hop communication is studied. We propose two MIMO HARQ combining methods which are based on using pre-combiningonly and a joint pre and post combining techniques. In addition to conventional single-hop transmission, HARQ schemes for MIMO multi-hop relay systems are also investigated. A novel approach is proposed to deal with the parallel HARQ processes in MIMO relay scenario. An information theoretic throughput analysis is performed to evaluate the performance of the relay system by employing various transmission techniques for relay-destination link. Evaluation is carried out on the delay involved while employing the relay systems as compared to single hop systems. Simulation results show that the proposed system can enhance the overall throughput performance of MIMO single-hop and multi-hop relay systems. Considering the recent research interest in green radio and requirements of reduced energy consumption by the wireless networks, we evaluated the energy efficiency of existing and proposed MIMO HARQ techniques for sensor and cellular networks. The results show that the proposed scheme is more energy efficient compared to other schemes in single-hop as well as multi-hop scenarios.EThOS - Electronic Theses Online ServiceGBUnited Kingdo

First, the methods on how to apply Alamouti code to MIMO interference channels are proposed. The IC method based on Alamouti codes for the multi-access scenario can be used for the K-user interference channel, which enables the receivers to perform symbol-by-symbol decoding by cancelling interfering signals by utilizing Alamouti structure and achieve diversity order of two. Moreover it does not require channel state information at the transmitters (CSIT) unlike the IA scheme. However, it requires more receive antennas than the IA scheme to achieve the same degrees of freedom (DoF). In order to reduce the number of receive antennas, especially for the three-user MIMO interference channel, an IAC scheme based on Alamouti codes is proposed, which keeps the same DoF as that of the IC scheme, but it requires partial CSIT. It is analytically shown that the IC and IAC schemes enable symbol-by-symbol decoding and achieve diversity order of two, while the conventional IA scheme achieves diversity order of one. In the second part of this dissertation, we propose two schemes for a TWRC based on Alamouti codes. Our IC method based on Alamouti codes for the K-user interference channel can be used for the TWRC, which enables the nodes to perform symbol-by-symbol decoding and achieve diversity order of two. In order to achieve more diversity gain, we propose a new two-way relaying scheme based on Alamouti codes which utilizes beamforming matrices to align signals at the relay node. From the simulation results, it is shown that the proposed scheme achieves diversity order of four. Finally, we analyze the best relay selection scheme for the SDF cooperative networks with multiple relays. The term best relay selectionimplies that the relay having the largest end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio is selected to transmit in the second phase transmission. The upper and lower bounds on the average pairwise error probability (PEP) are analyzed and compared with the conventional multiple-relay transmission scheme, where all the relays participate in the second phase transmission. Using the upper and lower bounds on the PEP and the asymptotes of the Fox's H-function, the diversity orders of the best relay selection and conventional relay schemes for the SDF cooperative networks are derived. It is shown that both schemes have the same full diversity order.Abstract i Contents v List of Tables viii List of Figures ix 1. Introduction 1 1.1.
