Optimal Beamforming for Two-Way Multi-Antenna Relay Channel with Analogue Network Coding
This paper studies the wireless two-way relay channel (TWRC), where two
source nodes, S1 and S2, exchange information through an assisting relay node,
R. It is assumed that R receives the sum signal from S1 and S2 in one
time-slot, and then amplifies and forwards the received signal to both S1 and
S2 in the next time-slot. By applying the principle of analogue network (ANC),
each of S1 and S2 cancels the so-called "self-interference" in the received
signal from R and then decodes the desired message. Assuming that S1 and S2 are
each equipped with a single antenna and R with multi-antennas, this paper
analyzes the capacity region of an ANC-based TWRC with linear processing
(beamforming) at R. The capacity region contains all the achievable
bidirectional rate-pairs of S1 and S2 under the given transmit power
constraints at S1, S2, and R. We present the optimal relay beamforming
structure as well as an efficient algorithm to compute the optimal beamforming
matrix based on convex optimization techniques. Low-complexity suboptimal relay
beamforming schemes are also presented, and their achievable rates are compared
against the capacity with the optimal scheme.Comment: to appear in JSAC, 200
MIMO Interference Alignment Over Correlated Channels with Imperfect CSI
Interference alignment (IA), given uncorrelated channel components and
perfect channel state information, obtains the maximum degrees of freedom in an
interference channel. Little is known, however, about how the sum rate of IA
behaves at finite transmit power, with imperfect channel state information, or
antenna correlation. This paper provides an approximate closed-form
signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) expression for IA over
multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) channels with imperfect channel state
information and transmit antenna correlation. Assuming linear processing at the
transmitters and zero-forcing receivers, random matrix theory tools are
utilized to derive an approximation for the post-processing SINR distribution
of each stream for each user. Perfect channel knowledge and i.i.d. channel
coefficients constitute special cases. This SINR distribution not only allows
easy calculation of useful performance metrics like sum rate and symbol error
rate, but also permits a realistic comparison of IA with other transmission
techniques. More specifically, IA is compared with spatial multiplexing and
beamforming and it is shown that IA may not be optimal for some performance
criteria.Comment: 21 pages, 7 figures, submitted to IEEE Transactions on Signal

Outage Efficient Strategies for Network MIMO with Partial CSIT
We consider a multi-cell MIMO downlink (network MIMO) where base-stations
(BS) with antennas connected to a central station (CS) serve
single-antenna user terminals (UT). Although many works have shown the
potential benefits of network MIMO, the conclusion critically depends on the
underlying assumptions such as channel state information at transmitters (CSIT)
and backhaul links. In this paper, by focusing on the impact of partial CSIT,
we propose an outage-efficient strategy. Namely, with side information of all
UT's messages and local CSIT, each BS applies zero-forcing (ZF) beamforming in
a distributed manner. For a small number of UTs (), the ZF beamforming
creates parallel MISO channels. Based on the statistical knowledge of these
parallel channels, the CS performs a robust power allocation that
simultaneously minimizes the outage probability of all UTs and achieves a
diversity gain of per UT. With a large number of UTs (),
we propose a so-called distributed diversity scheduling (DDS) scheme to select
a subset of \Ks UTs with limited backhaul communication. It is proved that
DDS achieves a diversity gain of B\frac{K}{\Ks}(M-\Ks+1), which scales
optimally with the number of cooperative BSs as well as UTs. Numerical
results confirm that even under realistic assumptions such as partial CSIT and
limited backhaul communications, network MIMO can offer high data rates with a
sufficient reliability to individual UTs.Comment: 26 pages, 8 figures, submitted to IEEE Trans. on Signal Processin
A High-Diversity Transceiver Design for MISO Broadcast Channels
In this paper, the outage behavior and diversity order of the mixture
transceiver architecture for multiple-input single-output broadcast channels
are analyzed. The mixture scheme groups users with closely-aligned channels and
applies superposition coding and successive interference cancellation decoding
to each group composed of users with closely-aligned channels, while applying
zero-forcing beamforming across semi-orthogonal user groups. In order to enable
such analysis, closed-form lower bounds on the achievable rates of a general
multiple-input single-output broadcast channel with superposition coding and
successive interference cancellation are newly derived. By employing
channel-adaptive user grouping and proper power allocation, which ensures that
the channel subspaces of user groups have angle larger than a certain
threshold, it is shown that the mixture transceiver architecture achieves full
diversity order in multiple-input single-output broadcast channels and
opportunistically increases the multiplexing gain while achieving full
diversity order. Furthermore, the achieved full diversity order is the same as
that of the single-user maximum ratio transmit beamforming. Hence, the mixture
scheme can provide reliable communication under channel fading for
ultra-reliable low latency communication. Numerical results validate our
analysis and show the outage superiority of the mixture scheme over
conventional transceiver designs for multiple-input single-output broadcast
channels.Comment: The inner region is evaluated. The single-group SIC performance is
