Robust Transceiver Design for AF MIMO Relay Systems with Column Correlations
In this paper, we investigate the robust transceiver design for dual-hop
amplify-and-forward (AF) MIMO relay systems with Gaussian distributed channel
estimation errors. Aiming at maximizing the mutual information under imperfect
channel state information (CSI), source precoder at source and forwarding
matrix at the relay are jointly optimized. Using some elegant attributes of
matrix-monotone functions, the structures of the optimal solutions are derived
first. Then based on the derived structure an iterative waterfilling solution
is proposed. Several existing algorithms are shown to be special cases of the
proposed solution. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed robust design is
demonstrated by simulation results.Comment: 6 Pages, 1 Figur
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
Matrix-Monotonic Optimization for MIMO Systems
For MIMO systems, due to the deployment of multiple antennas at both the
transmitter and the receiver, the design variables e.g., precoders, equalizers,
training sequences, etc. are usually matrices. It is well known that matrix
operations are usually more complicated compared to their vector counterparts.
In order to overcome the high complexity resulting from matrix variables, in
this paper we investigate a class of elegant multi-objective optimization
problems, namely matrix-monotonic optimization problems (MMOPs). In our work,
various representative MIMO optimization problems are unified into a framework
of matrix-monotonic optimization, which includes linear transceiver design,
nonlinear transceiver design, training sequence design, radar waveform
optimization, the corresponding robust design and so on as its special cases.
Then exploiting the framework of matrix-monotonic optimization the optimal
structures of the considered matrix variables can be derived first. Based on
the optimal structure, the matrix-variate optimization problems can be greatly
simplified into the ones with only vector variables. In particular, the
dimension of the new vector variable is equal to the minimum number of columns
and rows of the original matrix variable. Finally, we also extend our work to
some more general cases with multiple matrix variables.Comment: 37 Pages, 5 figures, IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, Final

Maximum mutual information design for amplify-and-forward multi-hop MIMO relaying systems under channel uncertainties
Conference Theme: PHY and FundamentalsIn this paper, we investigate maximum mutual information design for multi-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) multiple-input multiple-out (MIMO) relaying systems with imperfect channel state information, i.e., Gaussian distributed channel estimation errors. The robust design is formulated as a matrix-variate optimization problem. Exploiting the elegant properties of Majorization theory and matrix-variate functions, the optimal structures of the forwarding matrices at the relays and precoding matrix at the source are derived. Based on the derived structures, a water-filling solution is proposed to solve the remaining unknown variables. © 2012 IEEE.published_or_final_versionThe 2012 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC), Paris, France, 1-4 April 2012.

Bayesian robust linear transceiver design for dual-hop amplify-and-forward MIMO relay systems
In this paper, we address the robust linear transceiver design for dual-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) MIMO relay systems, where both transmitters and receivers have imperfect channel state information (CSI). With the statistics of channel estimation errors in the two hops being Gaussian, we formulate the robust linear-minimum-mean-square-error (LMMSE) transceiver design problem using the Bayesian framework, and derive a closed-form solution. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm reduces the sensitivity of the relay system to channel estimation errors, and performs better than the algorithm using estimated channel only.published_or_final_versionThe IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference (GLOBECOM 2009), Honolulu, HI., 30 November-4 December 2009.

A General Robust Linear Transceiver Design for Multi-Hop Amplify-and-Forward MIMO Relaying Systems
In this paper, linear transceiver design for multi-hop amplify-and-forward
(AF) multiple-input multiple-out (MIMO) relaying systems with Gaussian
distributed channel estimation errors is investigated. Commonly used
transceiver design criteria including weighted mean-square-error (MSE)
minimization, capacity maximization, worst-MSE/MAX-MSE minimization and
weighted sum-rate maximization, are considered and unified into a single
matrix-variate optimization problem. A general robust design algorithm is
proposed to solve the unified problem. Specifically, by exploiting majorization
theory and properties of matrix-variate functions, the optimal structure of the
robust transceiver is derived when either the covariance matrix of channel
estimation errors seen from the transmitter side or the corresponding
covariance matrix seen from the receiver side is proportional to an identity
matrix. Based on the optimal structure, the original transceiver design
problems are reduced to much simpler problems with only scalar variables whose
solutions are readily obtained by iterative water-filling algorithm. A number
of existing transceiver design algorithms are found to be special cases of the
proposed solution. The differences between our work and the existing related
work are also discussed in detail. The performance advantages of the proposed
robust designs are demonstrated by simulation results.Comment: 30 pages, 7 figures, Accepted by IEEE Transactions on Signal

Robust Transceiver with Tomlinson-Harashima Precoding for Amplify-and-Forward MIMO Relaying Systems
In this paper, robust transceiver design with Tomlinson-Harashima precoding
(THP) for multi-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) multiple-input multiple-output
(MIMO) relaying systems is investigated. At source node, THP is adopted to
mitigate the spatial intersymbol interference. However, due to its nonlinear
nature, THP is very sensitive to channel estimation errors. In order to reduce
the effects of channel estimation errors, a joint Bayesian robust design of THP
at source, linear forwarding matrices at relays and linear equalizer at
destination is proposed. With novel applications of elegant characteristics of
multiplicative convexity and matrix-monotone functions, the optimal structure
of the nonlinear transceiver is first derived. Based on the derived structure,
the transceiver design problem reduces to a much simpler one with only scalar
variables which can be efficiently solved. Finally, the performance advantage
of the proposed robust design over non-robust design is demonstrated by
simulation results.Comment: IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications - Special Issue on
