On multi-user EXIT chart analysis aided turbo-detected MBER beamforming designs
Abstract—This paper studies the mutual information transfer characteristics of a novel iterative soft interference cancellation (SIC) aided beamforming receiver communicating over both additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and multipath slow fading channels. Based on the extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) chart technique, we investigate the convergence behavior of an iterative minimum bit error rate (MBER) multiuser detection (MUD) scheme as a function of both the system parameters and channel conditions in comparison to the SIC aided minimum mean square error (SIC-MMSE) MUD. Our simulation results show that the EXIT chart analysis is sufficiently accurate for the MBER MUD. Quantitatively, a two-antenna system was capable of supporting up to K=6 users at Eb/N0=3dB, even when their angular separation was relatively low, potentially below 20?.

Gibbsian Hypothesis in Turbulence
We show that Kolmogorov multipliers in turbulence cannot be statistically
independent of others at adjacent scales (or even a finite range apart) by
numerical simulation of a shell model and by theory. As the simplest
generalization of independent distributions, we suppose that the steady-state
statistics of multipliers in the shell model are given by a
translation-invariant Gibbs measure with a short-range potential, when
expressed in terms of suitable ``spin'' variables: real-valued spins that are
logarithms of multipliers and XY-spins defined by local dynamical phases.
Numerical evidence is presented in favor of the hypothesis for the shell model,
in particular novel scaling laws and derivative relations predicted by the
existence of a thermodynamic limit. The Gibbs measure appears to be in a
high-temperature, unique-phase regime with ``paramagnetic'' spin order.Comment: 19 pages, 9 figures, greatly expanded content, accepted to appear in

Symmetric Radial Basis Function Assisted Space-Time Equalisation for Multiple Receive-Antenna Aided Systems
This constribution considers nonlinear space-time equalisation (STE) designed for single-input multiple-output (SIMO) systems. By exploiting the inherent symmetry of the underlying optimal Bayesian STE solution, a novel symmetric radial basis function (RBF) based STE scheme is proposed, which is capable of achieving the optimal Bayesian equalisation performance. The adaptive adjustment of the STE taps of this symmetric RBF (SRBF) based STE can be achieved by estimating the SIMO channel encountered using the classic least mean square channel estimator and computing the optimal RBF centres from the resultant SIMO channel matrix estimate. Our simulation results demonstrate that the performance of this SRBF based STE is robust with respect to the choice of the algorithmic parameters
Genetic iterative search-centre-shifting K-best sphere detection for rank-deficient SDM-OFDM systems
A generic sphere-detection (SD) scheme is proposed, which substantially reduces the detection complexity by decomposing it into two stages, namely the generic iterative search-centre-update phase and the reduced-complexity search around it. This two-stage philosophy circumvents the high complexity of channel-coded soft-decision aided SDs
Minimum Bit-Error Rate Design for Space-Time Equalisation-Based Multiuser Detection
A novel minimum bit-error rate (MBER) space–time equalization (STE)-based multiuser detector (MUD) is proposed for multiple-receive-antenna-assisted space-division multiple-access systems. It is shown that the MBER-STE-aided MUD significantly outperforms the standard minimum mean-square error design in terms of the achievable bit-error rate (BER). Adaptive implementations of the MBER STE are considered, and both the block-data-based and sample-by-sample adaptive MBER algorithms are proposed. The latter, referred to as the least BER (LBER) algorithm, is compared with the most popular adaptive algorithm, known as the least mean square (LMS) algorithm. It is shown that in case of binary phase-shift keying, the computational complexity of the LBER-STE is about half of that required by the classic LMS-STE. Simulation results demonstrate that the LBER algorithm performs consistently better than the classic LMS algorithm, both in terms of its convergence speed and steady-state BER performance.

Multiple-antenna-aided OFDM employing genetic-algorithm-assisted minimum bit error rate multiuser detection
The family of minimum bit error rate (MBER) multiuser detectors (MUD) is capable of outperforming the classic minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) MUD in terms of the achievable bit-error rate (BER) owing to directly minimizing the BER cost function. In this paper,wewill invoke genetic algorithms (GAs) for finding the optimum weight vectors of the MBER MUD in the context of multiple-antenna-aided multiuser orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) .We will also show that the MBER MUD is capable of supporting more users than the number of receiver antennas available, while outperforming the MMSE MUD

Iterative Multiuser Minimum Symbol Error Rate Beamforming Aided QAM Receiver
A novel iterative soft interference cancellation (SIC) aided beamforming receiver is developed for high-throughput quadrature amplitude modulation systems. The proposed SIC based minimum symbol error rate (MSER) multiuser detection scheme guarantees the direct and explicit minimization of the symbol error rate at the output of the detector. Adopting the extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) chart technique, we compare the EXIT characteristics of an iterative MSER multiuser detector (MUD) with those of the conventional minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) detector. As expected, the proposed SIC-MSER MUD outperforms the SIC-MMSE MUD. Index Terms—Beamforming, iterative multiuser detection, minimum symbol error rate, quadrature amplitude modulation
Symmetric complex-valued RBF receiver for multiple-antenna aided wireless systems
A nonlinear beamforming assisted detector is proposed for multiple-antenna-aided wireless systems employing complex-valued quadrature phase shift-keying modulation. By exploiting the inherent symmetry of the optimal Bayesian detection solution, a novel complex-valued symmetric radial basis function (SRBF)-network-based detector is developed, which is capable of approaching the optimal Bayesian performance using channel-impaired training data. In the uplink case, adaptive nonlinear beamforming can be efficiently implemented by estimating the system’s channel matrix based on the least squares channel estimate. Adaptive implementation of nonlinear beamforming in the downlink case by contrast is much more challenging, and we adopt a cluster-variationenhanced clustering algorithm to directly identify the SRBF center vectors required for realizing the optimal Bayesian detector. A simulation example is included to demonstrate the achievable performance improvement by the proposed adaptive nonlinear beamforming solution over the theoretical linear minimum bit error rate beamforming benchmark
