Asymptotic Moments for Interference Mitigation in Correlated Fading Channels
We consider a certain class of large random matrices, composed of independent
column vectors with zero mean and different covariance matrices, and derive
asymptotically tight deterministic approximations of their moments. This random
matrix model arises in several wireless communication systems of recent
interest, such as distributed antenna systems or large antenna arrays.
Computing the linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) detector in such systems
requires the inversion of a large covariance matrix which becomes prohibitively
complex as the number of antennas and users grows. We apply the derived moment
results to the design of a low-complexity polynomial expansion detector which
approximates the matrix inverse by a matrix polynomial and study its asymptotic
performance. Simulation results corroborate the analysis and evaluate the
performance for finite system dimensions.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures, to be presented at IEEE International Symposium

Low-Complexity Channel Estimation in Large-Scale MIMO using Polynomial Expansion
This paper considers pilot-based channel estimation in large-scale
multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems, also known as
"massive MIMO". Unlike previous works on this topic, which mainly considered
the impact of inter-cell disturbance due to pilot reuse (so-called pilot
contamination), we are concerned with the computational complexity. The
conventional minimum mean square error (MMSE) and minimum variance unbiased
(MVU) channel estimators rely on inverting covariance matrices, which has cubic
complexity in the multiplication of number of antennas at each side. Since this
is extremely expensive when there are hundreds of antennas, we propose to
approximate the inversion by an L-order matrix polynomial. A set of
low-complexity Bayesian channel estimators, coined Polynomial ExpAnsion CHannel
(PEACH) estimators, are introduced. The coefficients of the polynomials are
optimized to yield small mean square error (MSE). We show numerically that
near-optimal performance is achieved with low polynomial orders. In practice,
the order L can be selected to balance between complexity and MSE.
Interestingly, pilot contamination is beneficial to the PEACH estimators in the
sense that smaller L can be used to achieve near-optimal MSEs.Comment: Published at IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and

Quickest Sequence Phase Detection
A phase detection sequence is a length- cyclic sequence, such that the
location of any length- contiguous subsequence can be determined from a
noisy observation of that subsequence. In this paper, we derive bounds on the
minimal possible in the limit of , and describe some sequence
constructions. We further consider multiple phase detection sequences, where
the location of any length- contiguous subsequence of each sequence can be
determined simultaneously from a noisy mixture of those subsequences. We study
the optimal trade-offs between the lengths of the sequences, and describe some
sequence constructions. We compare these phase detection problems to their
natural channel coding counterparts, and show a strict separation between the
fundamental limits in the multiple sequence case. Both adversarial and
probabilistic noise models are addressed.Comment: To appear in the IEEE Transactions on Information Theor
A Tutorial on Clique Problems in Communications and Signal Processing
Since its first use by Euler on the problem of the seven bridges of
K\"onigsberg, graph theory has shown excellent abilities in solving and
unveiling the properties of multiple discrete optimization problems. The study
of the structure of some integer programs reveals equivalence with graph theory
problems making a large body of the literature readily available for solving
and characterizing the complexity of these problems. This tutorial presents a
framework for utilizing a particular graph theory problem, known as the clique
problem, for solving communications and signal processing problems. In
particular, the paper aims to illustrate the structural properties of integer
programs that can be formulated as clique problems through multiple examples in
communications and signal processing. To that end, the first part of the
tutorial provides various optimal and heuristic solutions for the maximum
clique, maximum weight clique, and -clique problems. The tutorial, further,
illustrates the use of the clique formulation through numerous contemporary
examples in communications and signal processing, mainly in maximum access for
non-orthogonal multiple access networks, throughput maximization using index
and instantly decodable network coding, collision-free radio frequency
identification networks, and resource allocation in cloud-radio access
networks. Finally, the tutorial sheds light on the recent advances of such
applications, and provides technical insights on ways of dealing with mixed
discrete-continuous optimization problems
Thirty Years of Machine Learning: The Road to Pareto-Optimal Wireless Networks
Future wireless networks have a substantial potential in terms of supporting
a broad range of complex compelling applications both in military and civilian
fields, where the users are able to enjoy high-rate, low-latency, low-cost and
reliable information services. Achieving this ambitious goal requires new radio
techniques for adaptive learning and intelligent decision making because of the
complex heterogeneous nature of the network structures and wireless services.
Machine learning (ML) algorithms have great success in supporting big data
analytics, efficient parameter estimation and interactive decision making.
Hence, in this article, we review the thirty-year history of ML by elaborating
on supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning and deep
learning. Furthermore, we investigate their employment in the compelling
applications of wireless networks, including heterogeneous networks (HetNets),
cognitive radios (CR), Internet of things (IoT), machine to machine networks
(M2M), and so on. This article aims for assisting the readers in clarifying the
motivation and methodology of the various ML algorithms, so as to invoke them
for hitherto unexplored services as well as scenarios of future wireless
networks.Comment: 46 pages, 22 fig
Some Applications of Coding Theory in Computational Complexity
Error-correcting codes and related combinatorial constructs play an important
role in several recent (and old) results in computational complexity theory. In
this paper we survey results on locally-testable and locally-decodable
error-correcting codes, and their applications to complexity theory and to
cryptography.
Locally decodable codes are error-correcting codes with sub-linear time
error-correcting algorithms. They are related to private information retrieval
(a type of cryptographic protocol), and they are used in average-case
complexity and to construct ``hard-core predicates'' for one-way permutations.
Locally testable codes are error-correcting codes with sub-linear time
error-detection algorithms, and they are the combinatorial core of
probabilistically checkable proofs
