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
Robust Sum MSE Optimization for Downlink Multiuser MIMO Systems with Arbitrary Power Constraint: Generalized Duality Approach
This paper considers linear minimum meansquare- error (MMSE) transceiver
design problems for downlink multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
systems where imperfect channel state information is available at the base
station (BS) and mobile stations (MSs). We examine robust sum mean-square-error
(MSE) minimization problems. The problems are examined for the generalized
scenario where the power constraint is per BS, per BS antenna, per user or per
symbol, and the noise vector of each MS is a zero-mean circularly symmetric
complex Gaussian random variable with arbitrary covariance matrix. For each of
these problems, we propose a novel duality based iterative solution. Each of
these problems is solved as follows. First, we establish a novel sum average
meansquare- error (AMSE) duality. Second, we formulate the power allocation
part of the problem in the downlink channel as a Geometric Program (GP). Third,
using the duality result and the solution of GP, we utilize alternating
optimization technique to solve the original downlink problem. To solve robust
sum MSE minimization constrained with per BS antenna and per BS power problems,
we have established novel downlink-uplink duality. On the other hand, to solve
robust sum MSE minimization constrained with per user and per symbol power
problems, we have established novel downlink-interference duality. For the
total BS power constrained robust sum MSE minimization problem, the current
duality is established by modifying the constraint function of the dual uplink
channel problem. And, for the robust sum MSE minimization with per BS antenna
and per user (symbol) power constraint problems, our duality are established by
formulating the noise covariance matrices of the uplink and interference
channels as fixed point functions, respectively.Comment: IEEE TSP Journa
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
