Diversity techniques for a free-space optical communication system in correlated log-normal channels
International audiencePerformance analysis of free-space optical (FSO) communication systems in different channel conditions has gained significant attention in literature. Nevertheless, most existing studies consider uncorrelated channel conditions. An uncorrelated channel requires sufficient spacing between transmitters and limits the receiver field of view and link distance. However, this might not be feasible in all applications. Thereby, this paper studies repetition code (RC) and orthogonal space time block code (OSTBC) performance in correlated log-normal FSO channels using intensity modulation and direct detection. An approximate analytical expressions using moment generating function for the average bit error probability are derived. Our simulation results show that RCs are superior to OSTBCs in correlated channel conditions
Blind Channel Estimation for STBC Systems Using Higher-Order Statistics
International audienceThis paper describes a new blind channel estimation algorithm for Space-Time Block Coded (STBC) systems. The proposed method exploits the statistical independence of sources before space-time encoding. The channel matrix is estimated by minimizing a kurtosis-based cost function after Zero-Forcing equalization. In contrast to subspace or Second-Order Statistics (SOS) approaches, the proposed method is more general since it can be employed for the general class of linear STBCs including Spatial Multiplexing, Orthogonal, quasi-Orthogonal and Non-Orthogonal STBCs. Furthermore, unlike other approaches, the method does not require any modification of the transmitter and, consequently, is well-suited for non-cooperative context. Numerical examples corroborate the performance of the proposed algorithm
Linear Transmit-Receive Strategies for Multi-user MIMO Wireless Communications
Die Notwendigkeit zur Unterdrueckung von Interferenzen auf der einen Seite
und zur Ausnutzung der durch Mehrfachzugriffsverfahren erzielbaren Gewinne
auf der anderen Seite rueckte die raeumlichen Mehrfachzugriffsverfahren
(Space Division Multiple Access, SDMA) in den Fokus der Forschung. Ein
Vertreter der raeumlichen Mehrfachzugriffsverfahren, die lineare
Vorkodierung, fand aufgrund steigender Anzahl an Nutzern und Antennen in
heutigen und zukuenftigen Mobilkommunikationssystemen besondere Beachtung,
da diese Verfahren das Design von Algorithmen zur Vorcodierung
vereinfachen. Aus diesem Grund leistet diese Dissertation einen Beitrag zur
Entwicklung linearer Sende- und Empfangstechniken fuer MIMO-Technologie mit
mehreren Nutzern. Zunaechst stellen wir ein Framework zur Approximation des
Datendurchsatzes in Broadcast-MIMO-Kanaelen mit mehreren Nutzern vor. In
diesem Framework nehmen wir das lineare Vorkodierverfahren regularisierte
Blockdiagonalisierung (RBD) an. Durch den Vergleich von Dirty Paper Coding
(DPC) und linearen Vorkodieralgorithmen (z.B. Zero Forcing (ZF) und
Blockdiagonalisierung (BD)) ist es uns moeglich, untere und obere Schranken
fuer den Unterschied bezueglich Datenraten und bezueglich Leistung zwischen
beiden anzugeben. Im Weiteren entwickeln wir einen Algorithmus fuer
koordiniertes Beamforming (Coordinated Beamforming, CBF), dessen Loesung
sich in geschlossener Form angeben laesst. Dieser CBF-Algorithmus basiert
auf der SeDJoCo-Transformation und loest bisher vorhandene Probleme im
Bereich CBF. Im Anschluss schlagen wir einen iterativen CBF-Algorithmus
namens FlexCoBF (flexible coordinated beamforming) fuer
MIMO-Broadcast-Kanaele mit mehreren Nutzern vor. Im Vergleich mit bis dato
existierenden iterativen CBF-Algorithmen kann als vielversprechendster
Vorteil die freie Wahl der linearen Sende- und Empfangsstrategie
herausgestellt werden. Das heisst, jede existierende Methode der linearen
Vorkodierung kann als Sendestrategie genutzt werden, waehrend die Strategie
zum Empfangsbeamforming frei aus MRC oder MMSE gewaehlt werden darf. Im
Hinblick auf Szenarien, in denen Mobilfunkzellen in Clustern
zusammengefasst sind, erweitern wir FlexCoBF noch weiter. Hier wurde das
Konzept der koordinierten Mehrpunktverbindung (Coordinated Multipoint
(CoMP) transmission) integriert. Zuletzt stellen wir drei Moeglichkeiten
vor, Kanalzustandsinformationen (Channel State Information, CSI) unter
verschiedenen Kanalumstaenden zu erlangen. Die Qualitaet der
Kanalzustandsinformationen hat einen starken Einfluss auf die Guete des
Uebertragungssystems. Die durch unsere neuen Algorithmen erzielten
Verbesserungen haben wir mittels numerischer Simulationen von Summenraten
und Bitfehlerraten belegt.In order to combat interference and exploit large multiplexing gains of the
multi-antenna systems, a particular interest in spatial division multiple
access (SDMA) techniques has emerged. Linear precoding techniques, as one
of the SDMA strategies, have obtained more attention due to the fact that
an increasing number of users and antennas involved into the existing and
future mobile communication systems requires a simplification of the
precoding design. Therefore, this thesis contributes to the design of
linear transmit and receive strategies for multi-user MIMO broadcast
channels in a single cell and clustered multiple cells. First, we present a
throughput approximation framework for multi-user MIMO broadcast channels
employing regularized block diagonalization (RBD) linear precoding.
Comparing dirty paper coding (DPC) and linear precoding algorithms (e.g.,
zero forcing (ZF) and block diagonalization (BD)), we further quantify
lower and upper bounds of the rate and power offset between them as a
function of the system parameters such as the number of users and antennas.
Next, we develop a novel closed-form coordinated beamforming (CBF)
algorithm (i.e., SeDJoCo based closed-form CBF) to solve the existing open
problem of CBF. Our new algorithm can support a MIMO system with an
arbitrary number of users and transmit antennas. Moreover, the application
of our new algorithm is not only for CBF, but also for blind source
separation (BSS), since the same mathematical model has been used in BSS
application.Then, we further propose a new iterative CBF algorithm (i.e.,
flexible coordinated beamforming (FlexCoBF)) for multi-user MIMO broadcast
channels. Compared to the existing iterative CBF algorithms, the most
promising advantage of our new algorithm is that it provides freedom in the
choice of the linear transmit and receive beamforming strategies, i.e., any
existing linear precoding method can be chosen as the transmit strategy and
the receive beamforming strategy can be flexibly chosen from MRC or MMSE
receivers. Considering clustered multiple cell scenarios, we extend the
FlexCoBF algorithm further and introduce the concept of the coordinated
multipoint (CoMP) transmission. Finally, we present three strategies for
channel state information (CSI) acquisition regarding various channel
conditions and channel estimation strategies. The CSI knowledge is required
at the base station in order to implement SDMA techniques. The quality of
the obtained CSI heavily affects the system performance. The performance
enhancement achieved by our new strategies has been demonstrated by
numerical simulation results in terms of the system sum rate and the bit
error rate

Cancelamento de interferĂŞncia em sistemas celulares distribuĂdos
Doutoramento em Engenharia ElectrotécnicaO tema principal desta tese é o problema de cancelamento de interferência
para sistemas multi-utilizador, com antenas distribuĂdas. Como tal, ao iniciar,
uma visĂŁo geral das principais propriedades de um sistema de antenas
distribuĂdas Ă© apresentada. Esta descrição inclui o estudo analĂtico do impacto
da ligação, dos utilizadores do sistema, a mais antenas distribuĂdas.
Durante essa análise é demonstrado que a propriedade mais importante do
sistema para obtenção do ganho máximo, através da ligação de mais antenas
de transmissĂŁo, Ă© a simetria espacial e que os utilizadores nas fronteiras das
células são os mais bene ciados. Tais resultados são comprovados através
de simulação. O problema de cancelamento de interferência multi-utilizador
é considerado tanto para o caso unidimensional (i.e. sem codi cação) como
para o multidimensional (i.e. com codi cação). Para o caso unidimensional
um algoritmo de pré-codi cação não-linear é proposto e avaliado, tendo
como objectivo a minimização da taxa de erro de bit. Tanto o caso de
portadora Ăşnica como o de multipla-portadora sĂŁo abordados, bem como o
cenário de antenas colocadas e distribuidas. É demonstrado que o esquema
proposto pode ser visto como uma extensĂŁo do bem conhecido esquema
de zeros forçados, cuja desempenho é provado ser um limite inferior para
o esquema generalizado. O algoritmo é avaliado, para diferentes cenários,
através de simulação, a qual indica desempenho perto do óptimo, com baixa
complexidade. Para o caso multi-dimensional um esquema para efectuar
"dirty paper coding" binário, tendo como base códigos de dupla camada é
proposto. No desenvolvimento deste esquema, a compressĂŁo com perdas de
informação, é considerada como um subproblema. Resultados de simulação
indicam transmissĂŁo dedigna proxima do limite de Shannon.This thesis focus on the interference cancellation problem for multiuser distributed
antenna systems. As such it starts by giving an overview of the
main properties of a distributed antenna system. This overview includes, an
analytical investigation of the impact of the connection of additional distributed
antennas, to the system users. That analysis shows that the most
important system property to reach the maximum gain, with the connection
of additional transmit antennas, is spatial symmetry and that the users at
the cell borders are the most bene ted. The multiuser interference problem
has been considered for both the one dimensional (i.e. without coding) and
multidimensional (i.e. with coding) cases. In the unidimensional case, we
propose and evaluate a nonlinear precoding algorithm for the minimization
of the bit-error-rate, of a multiuser MIMO system. Both the single-carrier
and multi-carrier cases are tackled as well as the co-located and distributed
scenarios. It is demonstrated that the proposed scheme can be viewed as an
extension of the well-known zero-forcing, whose performance is proven to be
a lower bound for the generalized scheme. The algorithm was validated extensively
through numerical simulations, which indicate a performance close
to the optimal, with reduced complexity. For the multi-dimensional case, a
binary dirty paper coding scheme, base on bilayer codes, is proposed. In the
development of this scheme, we consider the lossy compression of a binary
source as a sub-problem. Simulation results indicate reliable transmission
close to the Shannon limit
