Transmit Power Minimization for MIMO Systems of Exponential Average BER with Fixed Outage Probability
This document is the Accepted Manuscript version of the following article: Dian-Wu Yue, and Yichuang Sun, ‘Transmit Power Minimization for MIMO Systems of Exponential Average BER with Fixed Outage Probability’, Wireless Personal Communications, Vol. 90 (4): 1951-1970, first available online on 20 June 2016. Under embargo. Embargo end date: 20 June 2017. The final publication is available at Springer via https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs11277-016-3432-4This paper is concerned with a wireless multiple-antenna system operating in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) fading channels with channel state information being known at both transmitter and receiver. By spatiotemporal subchannel selection and power control, it aims to minimize the average transmit power (ATP) of the MIMO system while achieving an exponential type of average bit error rate (BER) for each data stream. Under the constraints on each subchannel that individual outage probability and average BER are given, based on a traditional upper bound and a dynamic upper bound of Q function, two closed-form ATP expressions are derived, respectively, which can result in two different power allocation schemes. Numerical results are provided to validate the theoretical analysis, and show that the power allocation scheme with the dynamic upper bound can achieve more power savings than the one with the traditional upper bound.Peer reviewe
Distortion Minimization in Gaussian Layered Broadcast Coding with Successive Refinement
A transmitter without channel state information (CSI) wishes to send a
delay-limited Gaussian source over a slowly fading channel. The source is coded
in superimposed layers, with each layer successively refining the description
in the previous one. The receiver decodes the layers that are supported by the
channel realization and reconstructs the source up to a distortion. The
expected distortion is minimized by optimally allocating the transmit power
among the source layers. For two source layers, the allocation is optimal when
power is first assigned to the higher layer up to a power ceiling that depends
only on the channel fading distribution; all remaining power, if any, is
allocated to the lower layer. For convex distortion cost functions with convex
constraints, the minimization is formulated as a convex optimization problem.
In the limit of a continuum of infinite layers, the minimum expected distortion
is given by the solution to a set of linear differential equations in terms of
the density of the fading distribution. As the bandwidth ratio b (channel uses
per source symbol) tends to zero, the power distribution that minimizes
expected distortion converges to the one that maximizes expected capacity.
While expected distortion can be improved by acquiring CSI at the transmitter
(CSIT) or by increasing diversity from the realization of independent fading
paths, at high SNR the performance benefit from diversity exceeds that from
CSIT, especially when b is large.Comment: Accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Information Theor
Beamforming Techniques for Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access in 5G Cellular Networks
In this paper, we develop various beamforming techniques for downlink
transmission for multiple-input single-output (MISO) non-orthogonal multiple
access (NOMA) systems. First, a beamforming approach with perfect channel state
information (CSI) is investigated to provide the required quality of service
(QoS) for all users. Taylor series approximation and semidefinite relaxation
(SDR) techniques are employed to reformulate the original non-convex power
minimization problem to a tractable one. Further, a fairness-based beamforming
approach is proposed through a max-min formulation to maintain fairness between
users. Next, we consider a robust scheme by incorporating channel
uncertainties, where the transmit power is minimized while satisfying the
outage probability requirement at each user. Through exploiting the SDR
approach, the original non-convex problem is reformulated in a linear matrix
inequality (LMI) form to obtain the optimal solution. Numerical results
demonstrate that the robust scheme can achieve better performance compared to
the non-robust scheme in terms of the rate satisfaction ratio. Further,
simulation results confirm that NOMA consumes a little over half transmit power
needed by OMA for the same data rate requirements. Hence, NOMA has the
potential to significantly improve the system performance in terms of transmit
power consumption in future 5G networks and beyond.Comment: accepted to publish in IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technolog
On the Design of Artificial-Noise-Aided Secure Multi-Antenna Transmission in Slow Fading Channels
In this paper, we investigate the design of artificial-noise-aided secure
multi-antenna transmission in slow fading channels. The primary design concerns
include the transmit power allocation and the rate parameters of the wiretap
code. We consider two scenarios with different complexity levels: i) the design
parameters are chosen to be fixed for all transmissions, ii) they are
adaptively adjusted based on the instantaneous channel feedback from the
intended receiver. In both scenarios, we provide explicit design solutions for
achieving the maximal throughput subject to a secrecy constraint, given by a
maximum allowable secrecy outage probability. We then derive accurate
approximations for the maximal throughput in both scenarios in the high
signal-to-noise ratio region, and give new insights into the additional power
cost for achieving a higher security level, whilst maintaining a specified
target throughput. In the end, the throughput gain of adaptive transmission
over non-adaptive transmission is also quantified and analyzed.Comment: to appear in IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technolog
Multicast Multigroup Precoding and User Scheduling for Frame-Based Satellite Communications
The present work focuses on the forward link of a broadband multibeam
satellite system that aggressively reuses the user link frequency resources.
Two fundamental practical challenges, namely the need to frame multiple users
per transmission and the per-antenna transmit power limitations, are addressed.
To this end, the so-called frame-based precoding problem is optimally solved
using the principles of physical layer multicasting to multiple co-channel
groups under per-antenna constraints. In this context, a novel optimization
problem that aims at maximizing the system sum rate under individual power
constraints is proposed. Added to that, the formulation is further extended to
include availability constraints. As a result, the high gains of the sum rate
optimal design are traded off to satisfy the stringent availability
requirements of satellite systems. Moreover, the throughput maximization with a
granular spectral efficiency versus SINR function, is formulated and solved.
Finally, a multicast-aware user scheduling policy, based on the channel state
information, is developed. Thus, substantial multiuser diversity gains are
gleaned. Numerical results over a realistic simulation environment exhibit as
much as 30% gains over conventional systems, even for 7 users per frame,
without modifying the framing structure of legacy communication standards.Comment: Accepted for publication to the IEEE Transactions on Wireless

Bit Allocation Law for Multi-Antenna Channel Feedback Quantization: Single-User Case
This paper studies the design and optimization of a limited feedback
single-user system with multiple-antenna transmitter and single-antenna
receiver. The design problem is cast in form of the minimizing the average
transmission power at the base station subject to the user's outage probability
constraint. The optimization is over the user's channel quantization codebook
and the transmission power control function at the base station. Our approach
is based on fixing the outage scenarios in advance and transforming the design
problem into a robust system design problem. We start by showing that uniformly
quantizing the channel magnitude in dB scale is asymptotically optimal,
regardless of the magnitude distribution function. We derive the optimal
uniform (in dB) channel magnitude codebook and combine it with a spatially
uniform channel direction codebook to arrive at a product channel quantization
codebook. We then optimize such a product structure in the asymptotic regime of
, where is the total number of quantization feedback
bits. The paper shows that for channels in the real space, the asymptotically
optimal number of direction quantization bits should be times
the number of magnitude quantization bits, where is the number of base
station antennas. We also show that the performance of the designed system
approaches the performance of the perfect channel state information system as
. For complex channels, the number of magnitude and
direction quantization bits are related by a factor of and the system
performance scales as as .Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, March 201
