Cooperative Precoding with Limited Feedback for MIMO Interference Channels
Multi-antenna precoding effectively mitigates the interference in wireless
networks. However, the resultant performance gains can be significantly
compromised in practice if the precoder design fails to account for the
inaccuracy in the channel state information (CSI) feedback. This paper
addresses this issue by considering finite-rate CSI feedback from receivers to
their interfering transmitters in the two-user multiple-input-multiple-output
(MIMO) interference channel, called cooperative feedback, and proposing a
systematic method for designing transceivers comprising linear precoders and
equalizers. Specifically, each precoder/equalizer is decomposed into inner and
outer components for nulling the cross-link interference and achieving array
gain, respectively. The inner precoders/equalizers are further optimized to
suppress the residual interference resulting from finite-rate cooperative
feedback. Further- more, the residual interference is regulated by additional
scalar cooperative feedback signals that are designed to control transmission
power using different criteria including fixed interference margin and maximum
sum throughput. Finally, the required number of cooperative precoder feedback
bits is derived for limiting the throughput loss due to precoder quantization.Comment: 23 pages; 5 figures; this work was presented in part at Asilomar 2011

RF-Powered Cognitive Radio Networks: Technical Challenges and Limitations
The increasing demand for spectral and energy efficient communication
networks has spurred a great interest in energy harvesting (EH) cognitive radio
networks (CRNs). Such a revolutionary technology represents a paradigm shift in
the development of wireless networks, as it can simultaneously enable the
efficient use of the available spectrum and the exploitation of radio frequency
(RF) energy in order to reduce the reliance on traditional energy sources. This
is mainly triggered by the recent advancements in microelectronics that puts
forward RF energy harvesting as a plausible technique in the near future. On
the other hand, it is suggested that the operation of a network relying on
harvested energy needs to be redesigned to allow the network to reliably
function in the long term. To this end, the aim of this survey paper is to
provide a comprehensive overview of the recent development and the challenges
regarding the operation of CRNs powered by RF energy. In addition, the
potential open issues that might be considered for the future research are also
discussed in this paper.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures, 1 table, Accepted in IEEE Communications Magazin
Wireless-Powered Communication Assisted by Two-Way Relay with Interference Alignment Underlaying Cognitive Radio Network
This study investigates the outage performance of an under-laying
wireless-powered secondary system that reuses the primary users (PU) spectrum
in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) cognitive radio (CR) network. Each
secondary user (SU) harvests energy and receives information simultaneously by
applying power splitting (PS) protocol. The communication between SUs is aided
by a two-way (TW) decode and forward (DF) relay. We formulate a problem to
design the PS ratios at SUs, the power control factor at the secondary relay,
and beamforming matrices at all nodes to minimize the secondary network's
outage probability. To address this problem, we propose a two-step solution.
The first step establishes closedform expressions for the PS ratios at each SU
and secondary relay's power control factor. Furthermore, in the second step,
interference alignment (IA) is used to design proper precoding and decoding
matrices for managing the interference between secondary and primary networks.
We choose IA matrices based on the minimum mean square error (MMSE) iterative
algorithm. The simulation results demonstrate a significant decrease in the
outage probability for the proposed scheme compared to the benchmark schemes,
with an average reduction of more than two orders of magnitude achieved
Wireless Energy Harvesting Assisted Two-Way Cognitive Relay Networks: Protocol Design and Performance Analysis
This paper analyzes the effects of realistic relay transceiver on the outage probability and throughput of a two-way relay cognitive network that is equipped with an energy-harvesting relay. In this paper, we configure the network with two wireless power transfer policies and two bidirectional relaying protocols. Furthermore, the differences in receiver structure of relay node that can be time switching or power splitting structure are also considered to develop closed-form expressions of outage and throughput of the network providing that the delay of transmission is limited. Numerical results are presented to corroborate our analysis for all considered network configurations. This paper facilitates us not only to quantify the degradation of outage probability and throughput due to the impairments of realistic transceiver but also to provide an insight into practical effects of specified configuration of power transfer policy, relaying protocol, and receiver structure on outage and throughput. For instance, the system with multiple access broadcast protocol and the power splitting-based receiver architecture achieves ceiling throughout higher than that of the transmission rate of source nodes. On the contrary, a combination of dual-source energy transfer policy and the time division broadcast protocol is contributed the highest level of limiting factor in terms of transceiver hardware impairments on the network throughput.</p
Rate-Energy Balanced Precoding Design for SWIPT based Two-Way Relay Systems
Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) technique is a
popular strategy to convey both information and RF energy for harvesting at
receivers. In this regard, we consider a two-way relay system with multiple
users and a multi-antenna relay employing SWIPT strategy, where splitting the
received signal leads to a rate-energy trade-off. In literature, the works on
transceiver design have been studied using computationally intensive and
suboptimal convex relaxation based schemes. In this paper, we study the
balanced precoder design using chordal distance (CD) decomposition, which
incurs much lower complexity, and is flexible to dynamic energy requirements.
It is analyzed that given a non-negative value of CD, the achieved harvested
energy for the proposed balanced precoder is higher than that for the perfect
interference alignment (IA) precoder. The corresponding loss in sum rates is
also analyzed via an upper bound. Simulation results add that the IA schemes
based on mean-squared error are better suited for the SWIPT maximization than
the subspace alignment-based methods.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2101.1216
