Robust Transceiver Design Based on Interference Alignment for Multi-User Multi-Cell MIMO Networks with Channel Uncertainty
In this paper, we firstly exploit the inter-user interference (IUI) and
inter-cell interference (ICI) as useful references to develop a robust
transceiver design based on interference alignment for a downlink multi-user
multi-cell multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) interference network under
channel estimation error. At transmitters, we propose a two-tier transmit
beamforming strategy, we first achieve the inner beamforming direction and
allocated power by minimizing the interference leakage as well as maximizing
the system energy efficiency, respectively. Then, for the outer beamformer
design, we develop an efficient conjugate gradient Grassmann manifold subspace
tracking algorithm to minimize the distances between the subspace spanned by
interference and the interference subspace in the time varying channel. At
receivers, we propose a practical interference alignment based on fast and
robust fast data projection method (FDPM) subspace tracking algorithm, to
achieve the receive beamformer under channel uncertainty. Numerical results
show that our proposed robust transceiver design achieves better performance
compared with some existing methods in terms of the sum rate and the energy
efficiency.Comment: 12 pages, 8 figure
Robust Linear Precoder Design for Multi-cell Downlink Transmission
Coordinated information processing by the base stations of multi-cell
wireless networks enhances the overall quality of communication in the network.
Such coordinations for optimizing any desired network-wide quality of service
(QoS) necessitate the base stations to acquire and share some channel state
information (CSI). With perfect knowledge of channel states, the base stations
can adjust their transmissions for achieving a network-wise QoS optimality. In
practice, however, the CSI can be obtained only imperfectly. As a result, due
to the uncertainties involved, the network is not guaranteed to benefit from a
globally optimal QoS. Nevertheless, if the channel estimation perturbations are
confined within bounded regions, the QoS measure will also lie within a bounded
region. Therefore, by exploiting the notion of robustness in the worst-case
sense some worst-case QoS guarantees for the network can be asserted. We adopt
a popular model for noisy channel estimates that assumes that estimation noise
terms lie within known hyper-spheres. We aim to design linear transceivers that
optimize a worst-case QoS measure in downlink transmissions. In particular, we
focus on maximizing the worst-case weighted sum-rate of the network and the
minimum worst-case rate of the network. For obtaining such transceiver designs,
we offer several centralized (fully cooperative) and distributed (limited
cooperation) algorithms which entail different levels of complexity and
information exchange among the base stations.Comment: 38 Pages, 7 Figures, To appear in the IEEE Transactions on Signal

Robust Transceiver Design for MISO Interference Channel with Energy Harvesting
In this paper, we consider multiuser multiple-input single-output (MISO)
interference channel where the received signal is divided into two parts for
information decoding and energy harvesting (EH), respectively. The transmit
beamforming vectors and receive power splitting (PS) ratios are jointly
designed in order to minimize the total transmission power subject to both
signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and EH constraints. Most joint
beamforming and power splitting (JBPS) designs assume that perfect channel
state information (CSI) is available; however CSI errors are inevitable in
practice. To overcome this limitation, we study the robust JBPS design problem
assuming a norm-bounded error (NBE) model for the CSI. Three different solution
approaches are proposed for the robust JBPS problem, each one leading to a
different computational algorithm. Firstly, an efficient semidefinite
relaxation (SDR)-based approach is presented to solve the highly non-convex
JBPS problem, where the latter can be formulated as a semidefinite programming
(SDP) problem. A rank-one recovery method is provided to recover a robust
feasible solution to the original problem. Secondly, based on second order cone
programming (SOCP) relaxation, we propose a low complexity approach with the
aid of a closed-form robust solution recovery method. Thirdly, a new iterative
method is also provided which can achieve near-optimal performance when the
SDR-based algorithm results in a higher-rank solution. We prove that this
iterative algorithm monotonically converges to a Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT)
solution of the robust JBPS problem. Finally, simulation results are presented
to validate the robustness and efficiency of the proposed algorithms.Comment: 13 pages, 8 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Beamforming Design for Joint Localization and Data Transmission in Distributed Antenna System
A distributed antenna system is studied whose goal is to provide data
communication and positioning functionalities to Mobile Stations (MSs). Each MS
receives data from a number of Base Stations (BSs), and uses the received
signal not only to extract the information but also to determine its location.
This is done based on Time of Arrival (TOA) or Time Difference of Arrival
(TDOA) measurements, depending on the assumed synchronization conditions. The
problem of minimizing the overall power expenditure of the BSs under data
throughput and localization accuracy requirements is formulated with respect to
the beamforming vectors used at the BSs. The analysis covers both
frequency-flat and frequency-selective channels, and accounts also for
robustness constraints in the presence of parameter uncertainty. The proposed
algorithmic solutions are based on rank-relaxation and Difference-of-Convex
(DC) programming.Comment: 15 pages, 9 figures, and 1 table, accepted in IEEE Transactions on
