Transmission Capacity of Full-Duplex MIMO Ad-Hoc Network with Limited Self-Interference Cancellation
In this paper, we propose a joint transceiver beamforming design to
simultaneously mitigate self-interference (SI) and partial inter-node
interference for full-duplex multiple-input and multiple-output ad-hoc network,
and then derive the transmission capacity upper bound (TC-UB) for the
corresponding network. Condition on a specified transceiver antenna's
configuration, we allow the SI effect to be cancelled at transmitter side, and
offer an additional degree-of-freedom at receiver side for more inter-node
interference cancellation. In addition, due to the proposed beamforming design
and imperfect SI channel estimation, the conventional method to obtain the
TC-UB is not applicable. This motivates us to exploit the dominating interferer
region plus Newton-Raphson method to iteratively formulate the TC-UB. The
results show that the derived TC-UB is quite close to the actual one especially
when the number of receive-antenna is small. Moreover, our proposed beamforming
design outperforms the existing beamforming strategies, and FD mode works
better than HD mode in low signal-to-noise ratio region.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, accepted by Globecom 201
Cooperation in Wireless Sensor Networks with Intra and Inter Cluster Interference
Virtual MIMO configuration, a common model for cooperation in sensor networks, trades off cooperation cost in front of MIMO gains. Most of proposed approaches rely mainly on the fact that cooperation at transmitter side alone seems to be much more powerful than receiver cooperation alone. The scenario that is analysed in this contribution includes the effect of interference of other clusters located closely that clearly degrades whatever cooperation type aforementioned. Under these circumstances, the use of additional sensors at receiver side helps creating a set of virtual beamformers, optimally designed to cancel the undesired signal. So, transmitter cooperation based on Dirty Paper Coding (DPC) strategies to minimize intra-cluster interference and virtual beamformers to minimize inter-cluster interference seems to be a very satisfactory combination
Spectral Efficiency Scaling Laws in Dense Random Wireless Networks with Multiple Receive Antennas
This paper considers large random wireless networks where
transmit-and-receive node pairs communicate within a certain range while
sharing a common spectrum. By modeling the spatial locations of nodes based on
stochastic geometry, analytical expressions for the ergodic spectral efficiency
of a typical node pair are derived as a function of the channel state
information available at a receiver (CSIR) in terms of relevant system
parameters: the density of communication links, the number of receive antennas,
the path loss exponent, and the operating signal-to-noise ratio. One key
finding is that when the receiver only exploits CSIR for the direct link, the
sum of spectral efficiencies linearly improves as the density increases, when
the number of receive antennas increases as a certain super-linear function of
the density. When each receiver exploits CSIR for a set of dominant interfering
links in addition to the direct link, the sum of spectral efficiencies linearly
increases with both the density and the path loss exponent if the number of
antennas is a linear function of the density. This observation demonstrates
that having CSIR for dominant interfering links provides a multiplicative gain
in the scaling law. It is also shown that this linear scaling holds for direct
CSIR when incorporating the effect of the receive antenna correlation, provided
that the rank of the spatial correlation matrix scales super-linearly with the
density. Simulation results back scaling laws derived from stochastic geometry.Comment: Submitte
Capactiy of single-hop communication links in wireless ad hoc networks
Thesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2004.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 67-68).This thesis defines the capacity of single-hop communication links in wireless ad hoc networks as the transferable data rate over that link determined by the Shannon limit and by the fixed modulation scheme and bit error rate. The resulting capacity formulas are derived under the assumption of r-3.8 path loss and uniform, but random, distribution of users. Rank of the link R is defined and included in the capacity formulas. After defining link capacity, the improvement of capacity is studied when different network components are implemented. These include successive interference cancellation (SIC), and multiple antenna arrays at the transmitting and the receiving end of the link. These strategies are then compared in terms of the dB improvement of capacity that they provide. Network parameter NP is defined in order to characterize spatial reuse in the network, and optimal network parameter is determined for maximizing link capacity in the process of dividing the network single frequency channel into equally sized subchannels.by Filip S.

Large-Scale MIMO versus Network MIMO for Multicell Interference Mitigation
This paper compares two important downlink multicell interference mitigation
techniques, namely, large-scale (LS) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and
network MIMO. We consider a cooperative wireless cellular system operating in
time-division duplex (TDD) mode, wherein each cooperating cluster includes
base-stations (BSs), each equipped with multiple antennas and scheduling
single-antenna users. In an LS-MIMO system, each BS employs antennas not
only to serve its scheduled users, but also to null out interference caused to
the other users within the cooperating cluster using zero-forcing (ZF)
beamforming. In a network MIMO system, each BS is equipped with only
antennas, but interference cancellation is realized by data and channel state
information exchange over the backhaul links and joint downlink transmission
using ZF beamforming. Both systems are able to completely eliminate
intra-cluster interference and to provide the same number of spatial degrees of
freedom per user. Assuming the uplink-downlink channel reciprocity provided by
TDD, both systems are subject to identical channel acquisition overhead during
the uplink pilot transmission stage. Further, the available sum power at each
cluster is fixed and assumed to be equally distributed across the downlink
beams in both systems. Building upon the channel distribution functions and
using tools from stochastic ordering, this paper shows, however, that from a
performance point of view, users experience better quality of service, averaged
over small-scale fading, under an LS-MIMO system than a network MIMO system.
Numerical simulations for a multicell network reveal that this conclusion also
holds true with regularized ZF beamforming scheme. Hence, given the likely
lower cost of adding excess number of antennas at each BS, LS-MIMO could be the
preferred route toward interference mitigation in cellular networks.Comment: 13 pages, 7 figures; IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal

Utilising SCM – MIMO channel model based on V-BLAST channel coding in V2V communication
Vehicular ad hoc networks VANETs has recently received significant attention in intelligent transport systems (ITS) research. It provides the driver with information regarding traffic and road conditions which is needed to reduce accidents, which will save many people's lives. In Vehicle-to-vehicle V2V communication the high-speed mobility of the nodes is the challenge, which significantly affects the reliability of communication. In this paper the utilising of SCM-MIMO channel model, (which is based on V-BLAST channel coding) is present to evaluate the performance of the PHY layer in V2V communication. The simulation results observed that the SCM model can overcome the propagation issues such as path loss, multipath fading and shadowing loss. The simulation considered three different environments, high, medium and low disruptions in urban traffic

Capacity and coverage of mmWave ad hoc networks
textAd hoc networks provide a flexible, infrastructure-free means to communicate between soldiers in war zones, aid workers in disaster areas, or consumers in device-to-device (D2D) applications. Ad hoc networks, however, are stilled plagued by interference. Communication with millimeter-wave (mmWave) devices offers hope to ad hoc networks through higher bandwidth, reduced interference due to directional antennas, and a lighter interference field due to blockage. This report uses a stochastic geometry approach to characterize the one-way and two-way coverage probability of a mmWave ad hoc network with directional antennas and random blockages. The coverage probability in the presence of noise and both line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight interference is analyzed and used to derive the transmission capacity. Several reasonable simplifications are used to derive the transmission capacity. Performance of mmWave is then analyzed in terms of area spectral efficiency and rate coverage. The results show that mmWave networks support larger densities, higher area spectral efficiencies, and better rate coverage compared to microwave ad hoc networks.Electrical and Computer Engineerin
Separation Framework: An Enabler for Cooperative and D2D Communication for Future 5G Networks
Soaring capacity and coverage demands dictate that future cellular networks
need to soon migrate towards ultra-dense networks. However, network
densification comes with a host of challenges that include compromised energy
efficiency, complex interference management, cumbersome mobility management,
burdensome signaling overheads and higher backhaul costs. Interestingly, most
of the problems, that beleaguer network densification, stem from legacy
networks' one common feature i.e., tight coupling between the control and data
planes regardless of their degree of heterogeneity and cell density.
Consequently, in wake of 5G, control and data planes separation architecture
(SARC) has recently been conceived as a promising paradigm that has potential
to address most of aforementioned challenges. In this article, we review
various proposals that have been presented in literature so far to enable SARC.
More specifically, we analyze how and to what degree various SARC proposals
address the four main challenges in network densification namely: energy
efficiency, system level capacity maximization, interference management and
mobility management. We then focus on two salient features of future cellular
networks that have not yet been adapted in legacy networks at wide scale and
thus remain a hallmark of 5G, i.e., coordinated multipoint (CoMP), and
device-to-device (D2D) communications. After providing necessary background on
CoMP and D2D, we analyze how SARC can particularly act as a major enabler for
CoMP and D2D in context of 5G. This article thus serves as both a tutorial as
well as an up to date survey on SARC, CoMP and D2D. Most importantly, the
article provides an extensive outlook of challenges and opportunities that lie
at the crossroads of these three mutually entangled emerging technologies.Comment: 28 pages, 11 figures, IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials 201
