Wireless MIMO Switching: Weighted Sum Mean Square Error and Sum Rate Optimization
This paper addresses joint transceiver and relay design for a wireless
multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) switching scheme that enables data
exchange among multiple users. Here, a multi-antenna relay linearly precodes
the received (uplink) signals from multiple users before forwarding the signal
in the downlink, where the purpose of precoding is to let each user receive its
desired signal with interference from other users suppressed. The problem of
optimizing the precoder based on various design criteria is typically
non-convex and difficult to solve. The main contribution of this paper is a
unified approach to solve the weighted sum mean square error (MSE) minimization
and weighted sum rate maximization problems in MIMO switching. Specifically, an
iterative algorithm is proposed for jointly optimizing the relay's precoder and
the users' receive filters to minimize the weighted sum MSE. It is also shown
that the weighted sum rate maximization problem can be reformulated as an
iterated weighted sum MSE minimization problem and can therefore be solved
similarly to the case of weighted sum MSE minimization. With properly chosen
initial values, the proposed iterative algorithms are asymptotically optimal in
both high and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regimes for MIMO switching,
either with or without self-interference cancellation (a.k.a., physical-layer
network coding). Numerical results show that the optimized MIMO switching
scheme based on the proposed algorithms significantly outperforms existing
approaches in the literature.Comment: This manuscript is under 2nd review of IEEE Transactions on

Achieving Large Multiplexing Gain in Distributed Antenna Systems via Cooperation with pCell Technology
In this paper we present pCellTM technology, the first commercial-grade
wireless system that employs cooperation between distributed transceiver
stations to create concurrent data links to multiple users in the same
spectrum. First we analyze the per-user signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio
(SINR) employing a geometrical spatial channel model to define volumes in space
of coherent signal around user antennas (or personal cells, i.e., pCells). Then
we describe the system architecture consisting of a general-purpose-processor
(GPP) based software-defined radio (SDR) wireless platform implementing a
real-time LTE protocol stack to communicate with off-the-shelf LTE devices.
Finally we present experimental results demonstrating up to 16 concurrent
spatial channels for an aggregate average spectral efficiency of 59.3 bps/Hz in
the downlink and 27.5 bps/Hz in the uplink, providing data rates of 200 Mbps
downlink and 25 Mbps uplink in 5 MHz of TDD spectrum.Comment: IEEE Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems, and Computers, Nov.
