    Cognitive Beamforming for Multiple Secondary Data Streams With Individual SNR Constraints

    Full text link
    In this paper, we consider cognitive beamforming for multiple secondary data streams subject to individual signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) requirements for each secondary data stream. In such a cognitive radio system, the secondary user is permitted to use the spectrum allocated to the primary user as long as the caused interference at the primary receiver is tolerable. With both secondary SNR constraint and primary interference power constraint, we aim to minimize the secondary transmit power consumption. By exploiting the individual SNR requirements, we formulate this cognitive beamforming problem as an optimization problem on the Stiefel manifold. Both zero forcing beamforming (ZFB) and nonzero forcing beamforming (NFB) are considered. For the ZFB case, we derive a closed form beamforming solution. For the NFB case, we prove that the strong duality holds for the nonconvex primal problem and thus the optimal solution can be easily obtained by solving the dual problem. Finally, numerical results are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed cognitive beamforming solutions.Comment: This is the longer version of a paper to appear in the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processin

    Design guidelines for spatial modulation

    No full text
    A new class of low-complexity, yet energyefficient Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) transmission techniques, namely the family of Spatial Modulation (SM) aided MIMOs (SM-MIMO) has emerged. These systems are capable of exploiting the spatial dimensions (i.e. the antenna indices) as an additional dimension invoked for transmitting information, apart from the traditional Amplitude and Phase Modulation (APM). SM is capable of efficiently operating in diverse MIMO configurations in the context of future communication systems. It constitutes a promising transmission candidate for large-scale MIMO design and for the indoor optical wireless communication whilst relying on a single-Radio Frequency (RF) chain. Moreover, SM may also be viewed as an entirely new hybrid modulation scheme, which is still in its infancy. This paper aims for providing a general survey of the SM design framework as well as of its intrinsic limits. In particular, we focus our attention on the associated transceiver design, on spatial constellation optimization, on link adaptation techniques, on distributed/ cooperative protocol design issues, and on their meritorious variants
