ROTATION OPTIMIZATION FOR MPSK/MQAM SIGNAL CONSTELLATIONS OVER RAYLEIGH FADING CHANNELS
The performance of uncoded phase-shift-keying (PSK) and quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) schemes over fading channels can be improved by using coded modulation techniques. Improvement is due to the coding gain coupled with interleaving and depends on the complexity of the code. Recently, it was shown that constellation rotation coupled with interleaving can be used to improve the performance of QPSK modulation over block-fading single-input-singleoutput (SISO) wireless communication channels. This paper considers the use of such a scheme with higher order constellation sets such as 8PSK and 16QAM. A framework is then presented for the calculation of the optimum rotation angle for MPSK/MQAM schemes. A simple cost function based on the union bound of the symbol error probability (SEP) is defined. The optimum rotation angle is then found by minimizing the cost function using the gradient search algorithm. The obtained simulation results show considerable improvement over the conventional unrotated system. 1
Spatial-Interference Aware Cooperative Resource Allocation for 5G V2V Communications
Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) resource allocation (RA) schemes have been introduced in the cellular V2V (C-V2V) standard for sidelink (SL) communications to allow for an efficient sharing of the time-frequency resources in sub-6 GHz bands. However, the recent progress in connected and automated vehicles and the introduction of new bandwidth-eager mobility services are driving towards the use of millimeter-wave (mmW) frequencies (24.25-52.6 GHz). A characteristic of propagation at mmW frequencies is the severe path loss attenuation that can be compensated through beamforming. Therefore, its introduction adds a spatial dimension that must be considered in the design of RA schemes. The current fifth-generation (5G) RA standard for SL communication, which is inherited from the previous C-V2V standard, is not designed for directional communication and does not take into account the interference impact. Hence, this paper proposes a novel RA scheme to manage spatial-interference by adding the spatial dimension, i.e. the spatial beam directivity, and cooperation between vehicles for resource selection. The simulation results confirm that the three-dimensional cooperative RA (3D-CRA) has an average improvement of 10% in packet delivery ratio, 50% in collision probability, and 60% in channel busy ratio compared to the standard RA
Joint Linear Filter Design in Multiuser Cooperative Nonregenerative MIMO Relay Systems
This paper addresses the filter design issues for multiuser cooperative nonregenerative MIMO relay systems in both downlink and uplink scenarios. Based on the formulated signal model, the filter matrix optimization is first performed for direct path and relay path respectively, aiming to minimize the mean squared error (MSE). To be more specific, for the relay path, we derive the local optimal filter scheme at the base station and the relay station jointly in the downlink scenario along with a more practical suboptimal scheme, and then a closed-form joint local optimal solution in the uplink scenario is exploited. Furthermore, the optimal filter for the direct path is also presented by using the exiting results of conventional MIMO link. After that, several schemes are proposed for cooperative scenario to combine the signals from both paths. Numerical results show that the proposed schemes can reduce the bit error rate (BER) significantly
