Limited Feedback Design for Interference Alignment on MIMO Interference Networks with Heterogeneous Path Loss and Spatial Correlations
Interference alignment is degree of freedom optimal in K -user MIMO
interference channels and many previous works have studied the transceiver
designs. However, these works predominantly focus on networks with perfect
channel state information at the transmitters and symmetrical interference
topology. In this paper, we consider a limited feedback system with
heterogeneous path loss and spatial correlations, and investigate how the
dynamics of the interference topology can be exploited to improve the feedback
efficiency. We propose a novel spatial codebook design, and perform dynamic
quantization via bit allocations to adapt to the asymmetry of the interference
topology. We bound the system throughput under the proposed dynamic scheme in
terms of the transmit SNR, feedback bits and the interference topology
parameters. It is shown that when the number of feedback bits scales with SNR
as C_{s}\cdot\log\textrm{SNR}, the sum degrees of freedom of the network are
preserved. Moreover, the value of scaling coefficient C_{s} can be
significantly reduced in networks with asymmetric interference topology.Comment: 30 pages, 6 figures, accepted by IEEE transactions on signal

Turbo Packet Combining for Broadband Space-Time BICM Hybrid-ARQ Systems with Co-Channel Interference
In this paper, efficient turbo packet combining for single carrier (SC)
broadband multiple-input--multiple-output (MIMO) hybrid--automatic repeat
request (ARQ) transmission with unknown co-channel interference (CCI) is
studied. We propose a new frequency domain soft minimum mean square error
(MMSE)-based signal level combining technique where received signals and
channel frequency responses (CFR)s corresponding to all retransmissions are
used to decode the data packet. We provide a recursive implementation algorithm
for the introduced scheme, and show that both its computational complexity and
memory requirements are quite insensitive to the ARQ delay, i.e., maximum
number of ARQ rounds. Furthermore, we analyze the asymptotic performance, and
show that under a sum-rank condition on the CCI MIMO ARQ channel, the proposed
packet combining scheme is not interference-limited. Simulation results are
provided to demonstrate the gains offered by the proposed technique.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figures, and 2 table
Eigenvalue Dynamics of a Central Wishart Matrix with Application to MIMO Systems
We investigate the dynamic behavior of the stationary random process defined
by a central complex Wishart (CW) matrix as it varies along a
certain dimension . We characterize the second-order joint cdf of the
largest eigenvalue, and the second-order joint cdf of the smallest eigenvalue
of this matrix. We show that both cdfs can be expressed in exact closed-form in
terms of a finite number of well-known special functions in the context of
communication theory. As a direct application, we investigate the dynamic
behavior of the parallel channels associated with multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO) systems in the presence of Rayleigh fading. Studying the
complex random matrix that defines the MIMO channel, we characterize the
second-order joint cdf of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the best and
worst channels. We use these results to study the rate of change of MIMO
parallel channels, using different performance metrics. For a given value of
the MIMO channel correlation coefficient, we observe how the SNR associated
with the best parallel channel changes slower than the SNR of the worst
channel. This different dynamic behavior is much more appreciable when the
number of transmit () and receive () antennas is similar. However, as
is increased while keeping fixed, we see how the best and worst
channels tend to have a similar rate of change.Comment: 15 pages, 9 figures and 1 table. This work has been accepted for
