A Fast Decodable Full-Rate STBC with High Coding Gain for 4x2 MIMO Systems
In this work, a new fast-decodable space-time block code (STBC) is proposed.
The code is full-rate and full-diversity for 4x2 multiple-input multiple-output
(MIMO) transmission. Due to the unique structure of the codeword, the proposed
code requires a much lower computational complexity to provide
maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding performance. It is shown that the ML decoding
complexity is only O(M^{4.5}) when M-ary square QAM constellation is used.
Finally, the proposed code has highest minimum determinant among the
fast-decodable STBCs known in the literature. Simulation results prove that the
proposed code provides the best bit error rate (BER) performance among the
state-of-the-art STBCs.Comment: 2013 IEEE 24th International Symposium on Personal Indoor and Mobile

Distributed MIMO coding scheme with low decoding complexity for future mobile TV broadcasting
A novel distributed space-time block code (STBC) for the next generation
mobile TV broadcasting is proposed. The new code provides efficient performance
within a wide range of power imbalance showing strong adaptivity to the single
frequency network (SFN) broadcasting deployments. The new code outperforms
existing STBCs with equivalent decoding complexity and approaches those with
much higher complexities
Reduced-complexity maximum-likelihood decoding for 3D MIMO code
The 3D MIMO code is a robust and efficient space-time coding scheme for the
distributed MIMO broadcasting. However, it suffers from the high computational
complexity if the optimal maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding is used. In this
paper we first investigate the unique properties of the 3D MIMO code and
consequently propose a simplified decoding algorithm without sacrificing the ML
optimality. Analysis shows that the decoding complexity is reduced from O(M^8)
to O(M^{4.5}) in quasi-static channels when M-ary square QAM constellation is
used. Moreover, we propose an efficient implementation of the simplified ML
decoder which achieves a much lower decoding time delay compared to the
classical sphere decoder with Schnorr-Euchner enumeration.Comment: IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC 2013),

Achieving Low-Complexity Maximum-Likelihood Detection for the 3D MIMO Code
The 3D MIMO code is a robust and efficient space-time block code (STBC) for
the distributed MIMO broadcasting but suffers from high maximum-likelihood (ML)
decoding complexity. In this paper, we first analyze some properties of the 3D
MIMO code to show that the 3D MIMO code is fast-decodable. It is proved that
the ML decoding performance can be achieved with a complexity of O(M^{4.5})
instead of O(M^8) in quasi static channel with M-ary square QAM modulations.
Consequently, we propose a simplified ML decoder exploiting the unique
properties of 3D MIMO code. Simulation results show that the proposed
simplified ML decoder can achieve much lower processing time latency compared
to the classical sphere decoder with Schnorr-Euchner enumeration
Cross-layer Resource Allocation Scheme for Multi-band High Rate UWB Systems
In this paper, we investigate the use of a cross-layer allocation mechanism
for the high-rate ultra-wideband (UWB) systems. The aim of this paper is
twofold. First, through the cross-layer approach that provides a new service
differentiation approach to the fully distributed UWB systems, we support
traffic with quality of service (QoS) guarantee in a multi-user context.
Second, we exploit the effective SINR method that represents the
characteristics of multiple sub-carrier SINRs in the multi-band WiMedia
solution proposed for UWB systems, in order to provide the channel state
information needed for the multi-user sub-band allocation. This new approach
improves the system performance and optimizes the spectrum utilization with a
low cost data exchange between the different users while guaranteeing the
required QoS. In addition, this new approach solves the problem of the
cohabitation of more than three users in the same WiMedia channel
Robustness maximization of parallel multichannel systems
Bit error rate (BER) minimization and SNR-gap maximization, two robustness
optimization problems, are solved, under average power and bit-rate
constraints, according to the waterfilling policy. Under peak-power constraint
the solutions differ and this paper gives bit-loading solutions of both
robustness optimization problems over independent parallel channels. The study
is based on analytical approach with generalized Lagrangian relaxation tool and
on greedy-type algorithm approach. Tight BER expressions are used for square
and rectangular quadrature amplitude modulations. Integer bit solution of
analytical continuous bit-rates is performed with a new generalized secant
method. The asymptotic convergence of both robustness optimizations is proved
for both analytical and algorithmic approaches. We also prove that, in
conventional margin maximization problem, the equivalence between SNR-gap
maximization and power minimization does not hold with peak-power limitation.
Based on a defined dissimilarity measure, bit-loading solutions are compared
over power line communication channel for multicarrier systems. Simulation
results confirm the asymptotic convergence of both allocation policies. In non
asymptotic regime the allocation policies can be interchanged depending on the
robustness measure and the operating point of the communication system. The low
computational effort of the suboptimal solution based on analytical approach
leads to a good trade-off between performance and complexity.Comment: 27 pages, 8 figures, submitted to IEEE Trans. Inform. Theor
A Novel Data-Aided Channel Estimation with Reduced Complexity for TDS-OFDM Systems
In contrast to the classical cyclic prefix (CP)-OFDM, the time domain
synchronous (TDS)-OFDM employs a known pseudo noise (PN) sequence as guard
interval (GI). Conventional channel estimation methods for TDS-OFDM are based
on the exploitation of the PN sequence and consequently suffer from intersymbol
interference (ISI). This paper proposes a novel dataaided channel estimation
method which combines the channel estimates obtained from the PN sequence and,
most importantly, additional channel estimates extracted from OFDM data
symbols. Data-aided channel estimation is carried out using the rebuilt OFDM
data symbols as virtual training sequences. In contrast to the classical turbo
channel estimation, interleaving and decoding functions are not included in the
feedback loop when rebuilding OFDM data symbols thereby reducing the
complexity. Several improved techniques are proposed to refine the data-aided
channel estimates, namely one-dimensional (1-D)/two-dimensional (2-D) moving
average and Wiener filtering. Finally, the MMSE criteria is used to obtain the
best combination results and an iterative process is proposed to progressively
refine the estimation. Both MSE and BER simulations using specifications of the
DTMB system are carried out to prove the effectiveness of the proposed
algorithm even in very harsh channel conditions such as in the single frequency
network (SFN) case
