MIMO Networks: the Effects of Interference
Multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) systems promise enormous capacity
increase and are being considered as one of the key technologies for future
wireless networks. However, the decrease in capacity due to the presence of
interferers in MIMO networks is not well understood. In this paper, we develop
an analytical framework to characterize the capacity of MIMO communication
systems in the presence of multiple MIMO co-channel interferers and noise. We
consider the situation in which transmitters have no information about the
channel and all links undergo Rayleigh fading. We first generalize the known
determinant representation of hypergeometric functions with matrix arguments to
the case when the argument matrices have eigenvalues of arbitrary multiplicity.
This enables the derivation of the distribution of the eigenvalues of Gaussian
quadratic forms and Wishart matrices with arbitrary correlation, with
application to both single user and multiuser MIMO systems. In particular, we
derive the ergodic mutual information for MIMO systems in the presence of
multiple MIMO interferers. Our analysis is valid for any number of interferers,
each with arbitrary number of antennas having possibly unequal power levels.
This framework, therefore, accommodates the study of distributed MIMO systems
and accounts for different positions of the MIMO interferers.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Trans. on Info. Theor
A Central Limit Theorem for the SINR at the LMMSE Estimator Output for Large Dimensional Signals
This paper is devoted to the performance study of the Linear Minimum Mean
Squared Error estimator for multidimensional signals in the large dimension
regime. Such an estimator is frequently encountered in wireless communications
and in array processing, and the Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR)
at its output is a popular performance index. The SINR can be modeled as a
random quadratic form which can be studied with the help of large random matrix
theory, if one assumes that the dimension of the received and transmitted
signals go to infinity at the same pace. This paper considers the asymptotic
behavior of the SINR for a wide class of multidimensional signal models that
includes general multi-antenna as well as spread spectrum transmission models.
The expression of the deterministic approximation of the SINR in the large
dimension regime is recalled and the SINR fluctuations around this
deterministic approximation are studied. These fluctuations are shown to
converge in distribution to the Gaussian law in the large dimension regime, and
their variance is shown to decrease as the inverse of the signal dimension
How to Understand LMMSE Transceiver Design for MIMO Systems From Quadratic Matrix Programming
In this paper, a unified linear minimum mean-square-error (LMMSE) transceiver
design framework is investigated, which is suitable for a wide range of
wireless systems. The unified design is based on an elegant and powerful
mathematical programming technology termed as quadratic matrix programming
(QMP). Based on QMP it can be observed that for different wireless systems,
there are certain common characteristics which can be exploited to design LMMSE
transceivers e.g., the quadratic forms. It is also discovered that evolving
from a point-to-point MIMO system to various advanced wireless systems such as
multi-cell coordinated systems, multi-user MIMO systems, MIMO cognitive radio
systems, amplify-and-forward MIMO relaying systems and so on, the quadratic
nature is always kept and the LMMSE transceiver designs can always be carried
out via iteratively solving a number of QMP problems. A comprehensive framework
on how to solve QMP problems is also given. The work presented in this paper is
likely to be the first shoot for the transceiver design for the future
ever-changing wireless systems.Comment: 31 pages, 4 figures, Accepted by IET Communication
Asymptotic SER and Outage Probability of MIMO MRC in Correlated Fading
This letter derives the asymptotic symbol error rate (SER) and outage
probability of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) maximum ratio combining
(MRC) systems. We consider Rayleigh fading channels with both transmit and
receive spatial correlation. Our results are based on new asymptotic
expressions which we derive for the p.d.f. and c.d.f. of the maximum eigenvalue
of positive-definite quadratic forms in complex Gaussian matrices. We prove
that spatial correlation does not affect the diversity order, but that it
reduces the array gain and hence increases the SER in the high SNR regime.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figures, to appear in IEEE Signal Processing Letter
Two-Stage Subspace Constrained Precoding in Massive MIMO Cellular Systems
We propose a subspace constrained precoding scheme that exploits the spatial
channel correlation structure in massive MIMO cellular systems to fully unleash
the tremendous gain provided by massive antenna array with reduced channel
state information (CSI) signaling overhead. The MIMO precoder at each base
station (BS) is partitioned into an inner precoder and a Transmit (Tx) subspace
control matrix. The inner precoder is adaptive to the local CSI at each BS for
spatial multiplexing gain. The Tx subspace control is adaptive to the channel
statistics for inter-cell interference mitigation and Quality of Service (QoS)
optimization. Specifically, the Tx subspace control is formulated as a QoS
optimization problem which involves an SINR chance constraint where the
probability of each user's SINR not satisfying a service requirement must not
exceed a given outage probability. Such chance constraint cannot be handled by
the existing methods due to the two stage precoding structure. To tackle this,
we propose a bi-convex approximation approach, which consists of three key
ingredients: random matrix theory, chance constrained optimization and
semidefinite relaxation. Then we propose an efficient algorithm to find the
optimal solution of the resulting bi-convex approximation problem. Simulations
show that the proposed design has significant gain over various baselines.Comment: 13 pages, accepted by IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communication
Performance Analysis of Dual-User Macrodiversity MIMO Systems with Linear Receivers in Flat Rayleigh Fading
The performance of linear receivers in the presence of co-channel
interference in Rayleigh channels is a fundamental problem in wireless
communications. Performance evaluation for these systems is well-known for
receive arrays where the antennas are close enough to experience equal average
SNRs from a source. In contrast, almost no analytical results are available for
macrodiversity systems where both the sources and receive antennas are widely
separated. Here, receive antennas experience unequal average SNRs from a source
and a single receive antenna receives a different average SNR from each source.
Although this is an extremely difficult problem, progress is possible for the
two-user scenario. In this paper, we derive closed form results for the
probability density function (pdf) and cumulative distribution function (cdf)
of the output signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) and signal to
noise ratio (SNR) of minimum mean squared error (MMSE) and zero forcing (ZF)
receivers in independent Rayleigh channels with arbitrary numbers of receive
antennas. The results are verified by Monte Carlo simulations and high SNR
approximations are also derived. The results enable further system analysis
such as the evaluation of outage probability, bit error rate (BER) and
capacity.Comment: 24 pages, 7 figures; IEEE Transaction of Wireless Communication 2012
