SINR distribution for LTE downlink multiuser MIMO systems
The LTE downlink multiuser multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems are analyzed in this paper. Two spatial division multiplexing (SDM) multiuser MIMO schemes are investigated: Single User (SU) and Multi-user (MU) MIMO schemes. The main contribution of this paper is the establishment of a mathematical model for the Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) distribution for multiuser SDM MIMO systems with frequency domain packet schedule
Performance of Orthogonal Beamforming for SDMA with Limited Feedback
On the multi-antenna broadcast channel, the spatial degrees of freedom
support simultaneous transmission to multiple users. The optimal multiuser
transmission, known as dirty paper coding, is not directly realizable.
Moreover, close-to-optimal solutions such as Tomlinson-Harashima precoding are
sensitive to CSI inaccuracy. This paper considers a more practical design
called per user unitary and rate control (PU2RC), which has been proposed for
emerging cellular standards. PU2RC supports multiuser simultaneous
transmission, enables limited feedback, and is capable of exploiting multiuser
diversity. Its key feature is an orthogonal beamforming (or precoding)
constraint, where each user selects a beamformer (or precoder) from a codebook
of multiple orthonormal bases. In this paper, the asymptotic throughput scaling
laws for PU2RC with a large user pool are derived for different regimes of the
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In the multiuser-interference-limited regime, the
throughput of PU2RC is shown to scale logarithmically with the number of users.
In the normal SNR and noise-limited regimes, the throughput is found to scale
double logarithmically with the number of users and also linearly with the
number of antennas at the base station. In addition, numerical results show
that PU2RC achieves higher throughput and is more robust against CSI
quantization errors than the popular alternative of zero-forcing beamforming if
the number of users is sufficiently large.Comment: 27 pages; to appear in IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technolog
SGD Frequency-Domain Space-Frequency Semiblind Multiuser Receiver with an Adaptive Optimal Mixing Parameter
A novel stochastic gradient descent frequency-domain (FD) space-frequency (SF) semiblind multiuser receiver with an adaptive optimal mixing parameter is proposed to improve performance of FD semiblind multiuser receivers with a fixed mixing parameters and reduces computational complexity of suboptimal FD semiblind multiuser receivers in SFBC downlink MIMO MC-CDMA systems where various numbers of users exist. The receiver exploits an adaptive mixing parameter to mix information ratio between the training-based mode and the blind-based mode. Analytical results prove that the optimal mixing parameter value relies on power and number of active loaded users existing in the system. Computer simulation results show that when the mixing parameter is adapted closely to the optimal mixing parameter value, the performance of the receiver outperforms existing FD SF adaptive step-size (AS) LMS semiblind based with a fixed mixing parameter and conventional FD SF AS-LMS training-based multiuser receivers in the MSE, SER and signal to interference plus noise ratio in both static and dynamic environments
Random Beamforming with Heterogeneous Users and Selective Feedback: Individual Sum Rate and Individual Scaling Laws
This paper investigates three open problems in random beamforming based
communication systems: the scheduling policy with heterogeneous users, the
closed form sum rate, and the randomness of multiuser diversity with selective
feedback. By employing the cumulative distribution function based scheduling
policy, we guarantee fairness among users as well as obtain multiuser diversity
gain in the heterogeneous scenario. Under this scheduling framework, the
individual sum rate, namely the average rate for a given user multiplied by the
number of users, is of interest and analyzed under different feedback schemes.
Firstly, under the full feedback scheme, we derive the closed form individual
sum rate by employing a decomposition of the probability density function of
the selected user's signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio. This technique is
employed to further obtain a closed form rate approximation with selective
feedback in the spatial dimension. The analysis is also extended to random
beamforming in a wideband OFDMA system with additional selective feedback in
the spectral dimension wherein only the best beams for the best-L resource
blocks are fed back. We utilize extreme value theory to examine the randomness
of multiuser diversity incurred by selective feedback. Finally, by leveraging
the tail equivalence method, the multiplicative effect of selective feedback
and random observations is observed to establish the individual rate scaling.Comment: Submitted in March 2012. To appear in IEEE Transactions on Wireless

Waveforms for the Massive MIMO Downlink: Amplifier Efficiency, Distortion and Performance
In massive MIMO, most precoders result in downlink signals that suffer from
high PAR, independently of modulation order and whether single-carrier or OFDM
transmission is used. The high PAR lowers the power efficiency of the base
station amplifiers. To increase power efficiency, low-PAR precoders have been
proposed. In this article, we compare different transmission schemes for
massive MIMO in terms of the power consumed by the amplifiers. It is found that
(i) OFDM and single-carrier transmission have the same performance over a
hardened massive MIMO channel and (ii) when the higher amplifier power
efficiency of low-PAR precoding is taken into account, conventional and low-PAR
precoders lead to approximately the same power consumption. Since downlink
signals with low PAR allow for simpler and cheaper hardware, than signals with
high PAR, therefore, the results suggest that low-PAR precoding with either
single-carrier or OFDM transmission should be used in a massive MIMO base
station
An Analytical Framework for Heterogeneous Partial Feedback Design in Heterogeneous Multicell OFDMA Networks
The inherent heterogeneous structure resulting from user densities and large
scale channel effects motivates heterogeneous partial feedback design in
heterogeneous networks. In such emerging networks, a distributed scheduling
policy which enjoys multiuser diversity as well as maintains fairness among
users is favored for individual user rate enhancement and guarantees. For a
system employing the cumulative distribution function based scheduling, which
satisfies the two above mentioned desired features, we develop an analytical
framework to investigate heterogeneous partial feedback in a general
OFDMA-based heterogeneous multicell employing the best-M partial feedback
strategy. Exact sum rate analysis is first carried out and closed form
expressions are obtained by a novel decomposition of the probability density
function of the selected user's signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio. To
draw further insight, we perform asymptotic analysis using extreme value theory
to examine the effect of partial feedback on the randomness of multiuser
diversity, show the asymptotic optimality of best-1 feedback, and derive an
asymptotic approximation for the sum rate in order to determine the minimum
required partial feedback.Comment: To appear in IEEE Trans. on Signal Processin
