Spectral Efficiency Analysis of Multi-Cell Massive MIMO Systems with Ricean Fading
This paper investigates the spectral efficiency of multi-cell massive
multiple-input multiple-output systems with Ricean fading that utilize the
linear maximal-ratio combining detector. We firstly present closed-form
expressions for the effective signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR)
with the least squares and minimum mean squared error (MMSE) estimation
methods, respectively, which apply for any number of base-station antennas
and any Ricean -factor. Also, the obtained results can be particularized in
Rayleigh fading conditions when the Ricean -factor is equal to zero. In the
following, novel exact asymptotic expressions of the effective SINR are derived
in the high and high Ricean -factor regimes. The corresponding analysis
shows that pilot contamination is removed by the MMSE estimator when we
consider both infinite and infinite Ricean -factor, while the pilot
contamination phenomenon persists for the rest of cases. All the theoretical
results are verified via Monte-Carlo simulations.Comment: 15 pages, 2 figures, the tenth International Conference on Wireless

A Survey of Physical Layer Security Techniques for 5G Wireless Networks and Challenges Ahead
Physical layer security which safeguards data confidentiality based on the
information-theoretic approaches has received significant research interest
recently. The key idea behind physical layer security is to utilize the
intrinsic randomness of the transmission channel to guarantee the security in
physical layer. The evolution towards 5G wireless communications poses new
challenges for physical layer security research. This paper provides a latest
survey of the physical layer security research on various promising 5G
technologies, including physical layer security coding, massive multiple-input
multiple-output, millimeter wave communications, heterogeneous networks,
non-orthogonal multiple access, full duplex technology, etc. Technical
challenges which remain unresolved at the time of writing are summarized and
the future trends of physical layer security in 5G and beyond are discussed.Comment: To appear in IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communication
Power Efficient and Secure Full-Duplex Wireless Communication Systems
In this paper, we study resource allocation for a full-duplex (FD) radio base
station serving multiple half-duplex (HD) downlink and uplink users
simultaneously. The considered resource allocation algorithm design is
formulated as a non-convex optimization problem taking into account minimum
required receive signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratios (SINRs) for downlink
and uplink communication and maximum tolerable SINRs at potential
eavesdroppers. The proposed optimization framework enables secure downlink and
uplink communication via artificial noise generation in the downlink for
interfering the potential eavesdroppers. We minimize the weighted sum of the
total downlink and uplink transmit power by jointly optimizing the downlink
beamformer, the artificial noise covariance matrix, and the uplink transmit
power. We adopt a semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation approach to obtain
a tractable solution for the considered problem. The tightness of the SDP
relaxation is revealed by examining a sufficient condition for the global
optimality of the solution. Simulation results demonstrate the excellent
performance achieved by the proposed scheme and the significant transmit power
savings enabled optimization of the artificial noise covariance matrix.Comment: 6 pages, invited paper, IEEE Conference on Communications and Network

Millimeter Wave Systems for Wireless Cellular Communications
This thesis considers channel estimation and multiuser (MU) data transmission
for massive MIMO systems with fully digital/hybrid structures in mmWave
channels. It contains three main contributions. In this thesis, we first
propose a tone-based linear search algorithm to facilitate the estimation of
angle-of-arrivals of the strongest components as well as scattering components
of the users at the base station (BS) with fully digital structure. Our results
show that the proposed maximum-ratio transmission (MRT) based on the strongest
components can achieve a higher data rate than that of the conventional MRT,
under the same mean squared errors (MSE). Second, we develop a low-complexity
channel estimation and beamformer/precoder design scheme for hybrid mmWave
systems. In addition, the proposed scheme applies to both non-sparse and sparse
mmWave channel environments. We then leverage the proposed scheme to
investigate the downlink achievable rate performance. The results show that the
proposed scheme obtains a considerable achievable rate of fully digital
systems. Taking into account the effect of various types of errors, we
investigate the achievable rate performance degradation of the considered
scheme. Third, we extend our proposed scheme to a multi-cell MU mmWave MIMO
network. We derive the closed-form approximation of the normalized MSE of
channel estimation under pilot contamination over Rician fading channels.
Furthermore, we derive a tight closed-form approximation and the scaling law of
the average achievable rate. Our results unveil that channel estimation errors,
the intra-cell interference, and the inter-cell interference caused by pilot
contamination over Rician fading channels can be efficiently mitigated by
simply increasing the number of antennas equipped at the desired BS.Comment: Thesi
