Evaluation of Eigenvalue and Block Diagonalization Beamforming Precoding Performance for 5G Technology over Rician Channel
In traditional wireless cellular, at the same cell, users can cause co-channel interference (CCI) between each other; CCI can deteriorate the channel’s capacity. A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system with beamforming technology solves this CCI problem. Exploiting the channel state information (CSI) in a multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) system can improve the performance of the channel link by designing the precoding vectors for every user. A linear precoder has multiple methods, like Block diagonalization precoding (BDP) and Eigenvalue precoding (EP) that facilitate its use. This paper evaluates the symbol-detection performance for BDP and EP in MU-MIMO beamforming over a Rayleigh fading channel. Then, the channel matrix replaces the typical channel assumption with its correlated realistic Rician fading channel. Simulation results show that the Rician fading channel has performance improvement until with low Rician factor value, compared to a conventional channel. The high value of the Rician factor can reduce the error rate

Two–Way Relaying Communications with OFDM and BICM/BICM-ID
Relay-aided communication methods have gained strong interests in academic community
and been applied in various wireless communication scenarios. Among different techniques
in relay-aided communication system, two-way relaying communication (TWRC) achieves
the highest spectral efficiency due to its bi-directional transmission capability. Nevertheless,
different from the conventional point-to-point communication system, TWRC suffers from
detection quality degradation caused by the multiple-access interference (MAI). In addition,
because of the propagation characteristics of wireless channels, fading and multipath
dispersion also contribute strongly to detection errors. Therefore, this thesis is mainly concerned
with designing transmission and detection schemes to provide good detection quality
of TWRC while taking into account the negative impacts of fading, multipath dispersion
and multiple-access interference.
First, a TWRC system operating over multipath fading channels is considered and orthogonal
frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is adopted to handle the inter-symbol
interference (ISI) caused by the multipath dispersion. In particular, adaptive physical-layer
network coding (PNC) is employed to address the MAI issue. By analyzing the detection
error probability, various adaptive PNC schemes are discussed for using with OFDM and
the scheme achieving the best trade-off among performance, overhead and complexity is
suggested.
In the second part of the thesis, the design of distributed precoding in TWRC using
OFDM under multipath fading channels is studied. The objective is to design a distributed
precoding scheme which can alleviate MAI and achieve multipath diversity to combat fading.
Specifically, three types of errors are introduced when analyzing the error probability in the
multiple access (MA) phase. Through analysis and simulation, the scheme that performs
precoding in both time and frequency domains is demonstrated to achieve the maximum
diversity gains under all types of errors.
Finally, the last part of the thesis examines a communication system incorporating forward
error correction (FEC) codes. Specifically, bit-interleaved code modulation (BICM)
without and with iterative decoding (BICM-ID) are investigated in a TWRC system. Distributed
linear constellation precoding (DLCP) is applied to handle MAI and the design
of DLCP in a TWRC system using BICM/BICM-ID is discussed. Taking into account the
multiple access channel from the terminal nodes to the relay node, decoding based on the
quaternary code representation is introduced. Several error probability bounds are derived
to aid in the design of DLCP. Based on these bounds, optimal parameters of DLCP are
obtained through analysis and computer search. It is also found that, by combining XORbased
network coding with successful iterative decoding, the MAI is eliminated and thus
DLCP is not required in a BICM-ID system
Maximizing signal to leakage ratios in MIMO BCH cooperative beamforming scheme
Beamforming (BF) technique in cooperative multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna arrays improves signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the intended user. The challenge is to design transmit beamforming vectors for every user while limiting the co-channel interference (CCI) from other users. In this paper, we proposed cooperative beamforming based on Signal-to-Leakage Ratio (SLR) to exploit the leakage power as a useful power in the second time slot after user cooperation, for this purpose successive interference cancellation (SIC) is employed in each user to separate the leakage signal from the desired signal. Without increasing the complexity, Maximizing Signal-to-Leakage Ratio (SLR) subject to proposed power constraint instead of a unity norm is the way to achieve extra leakage power. To reduce the erroneous, Bose–Chaudhuri–Hocquenghem (BCH) codes employed in Beamforming of (SIC) cooperative scheme BF(CS-SIC-BCH). Maximum-likelihood (ML) estimator method is used at each user receiver. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed scheme BF (CS-SIC-BCH) over Rayleigh and Rician fading channel is significantly better than the performance beamforming based on SLR in Non-cooperative system. More specifically to achieve a BER of about the required SNR for the proposed scheme is about 1 dB less than the Non-cooperative system
Performance Enhancement in SU and MU MIMO-OFDM Technique for Wireless Communication: A Review
The consistent demand for higher data rates and need to send giant volumes of data while not compromising the quality of communication has led the development of a new generations of wireless systems. But range and data rate limitations are there in wireless devices. In an attempt to beat these limitations, Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) systems will be used which also increase diversity and improve the bit error rate (BER) performance of wireless systems. They additionally increase the channel capacity, increase the transmitted data rate through spatial multiplexing, and/or reduce interference from other users. MIMO systems therefore create a promising communication system because of their high transmission rates without additional bandwidth or transmit power and robustness against multipath fading. This paper provides the overview of Multiuser MIMO system. A detailed review on how to increase performance of system and reduce the bit error rate (BER) in different fading environment e.g. Rayleigh fading, Rician fading, Nakagami fading, composite fading
Spatial Coded Modulation
In this paper, we propose a spatial coded modulation (SCM) scheme, which
improves the accuracy of the active antenna detection by coding over the
transmit antennas. Specifically, the antenna activation pattern in the SCM
corresponds to a codeword in a properly designed codebook with a larger minimum
Hamming distance than its counterpart conventional spatial modulation. As the
minimum Hamming distance increases, the reliability of the active antenna
detection is directly enhanced, which in turn improves the demodulation of the
modulated symbols and yields a better system reliability. In addition to the
reliability, the proposed SCM scheme also achieves a higher capacity with the
identical antenna configuration compared to the conventional spatial modulation
technique. Moreover, the proposed SCM scheme strikes a balance between spectral
efficiency and reliability by trading off the minimum Hamming distance with the
number of available codewords. The optimal maximum likelihood detector is first
formulated. Then, a low-complexity suboptimal detector is proposed to reduce
the computational complexity, which has a two-step detection. Theoretical
derivations of the channel capacity and the bit error rate are presented in
various channel scenarios, i.e., Rayleigh, Rician, Nakagami-m, imperfect
channel state information, and spatial correlation. Further derivation on
performance bounding is also provided to reveal the insight of the benefit of
increasing the minimum Hamming distance. Numerical results validate the
analysis and demonstrate that the proposed SCM outperforms the conventional
spatial modulation techniques in both channel capacity and system reliability.Comment: 30 pages, 17 figure
Combining Alamouti STBC with Block Diagonalization for Downlink MU-MIMO System over Rician Channel for 5G
Wireless communication faces a number of adversities and obstacles as a result of fading and co-channel interference (CCI). Diversity with beamformer techniques may be used to mitigate degradation in the system performance. Alamouti space-time-block-code (STBC) is a strong scheme focused on accomplishing spatial diversity at the transmitter, which needs a straightforward linear processing in the receiver. Also, high bit-error-rate (BER) performance can be achieved by using the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system with beamforming technology. This approach is particularly useful for CCI suppression. Exploiting the channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter can improve the STBC through the use of a beamforming precoding. In this paper, we propose the combination between Alamouti STBC and block diagonalization (BD) for downlink multi-user MIMO system. Also, this paper evaluates the system performance improvement of the extended Alamouti scheme, with the implementation of BD precoding over a Rayleigh and Rician channel. Simulation results show that the combined system has performance better than the performance of beamforming system. Also, it shows that the combined system performance of extended Alamouti outperforms the combined system performance without extended Alamouti. Furthermore, numerical results confirm that the Rician channel can significantly improve the combined system performance
Principles of Physical Layer Security in Multiuser Wireless Networks: A Survey
This paper provides a comprehensive review of the domain of physical layer
security in multiuser wireless networks. The essential premise of
physical-layer security is to enable the exchange of confidential messages over
a wireless medium in the presence of unauthorized eavesdroppers without relying
on higher-layer encryption. This can be achieved primarily in two ways: without
the need for a secret key by intelligently designing transmit coding
strategies, or by exploiting the wireless communication medium to develop
secret keys over public channels. The survey begins with an overview of the
foundations dating back to the pioneering work of Shannon and Wyner on
information-theoretic security. We then describe the evolution of secure
transmission strategies from point-to-point channels to multiple-antenna
systems, followed by generalizations to multiuser broadcast, multiple-access,
interference, and relay networks. Secret-key generation and establishment
protocols based on physical layer mechanisms are subsequently covered.
Approaches for secrecy based on channel coding design are then examined, along
with a description of inter-disciplinary approaches based on game theory and
stochastic geometry. The associated problem of physical-layer message
authentication is also introduced briefly. The survey concludes with
observations on potential research directions in this area.Comment: 23 pages, 10 figures, 303 refs. arXiv admin note: text overlap with
