Quasi-Newton FDE in One-Bit Pseudo-Randomly Quantized Massive MIMO-OFDM Systems
This letter offers a new frequency domain equalization (FDE) scheme that can
work with a pseudo-random quantization (PRQ) scheme utilizing non-zero
threshold quantization in one-bit uplink multi-user massive multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO) systems to mitigate quantization distortion and support
high-order modulation schemes. The equalizer is based on Newton's method (NM)
and applicable for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)
transmission under frequency-selective fading by exploiting the properties of
massive MIMO. We develop a low-complexity FDE scheme to obtain a quasi-Newton
method. The proposed detector outperforms the benchmark detector with
comparable complexity
Error Rate Analysis of GF(q) Network Coded Detect-and-Forward Wireless Relay Networks Using Equivalent Relay Channel Models
This paper investigates simple means of analyzing the error rate performance
of a general q-ary Galois Field network coded detect-and-forward cooperative
relay network with known relay error statistics at the destination. Equivalent
relay channels are used in obtaining an approximate error rate of the relay
network, from which the diversity order is found. Error rate analyses using
equivalent relay channel models are shown to be closely matched with simulation
results. Using the equivalent relay channels, low complexity receivers are
developed whose performances are close to that of the optimal maximum
likelihood receiver.Comment: 28 pages, 10 figures. This work has been submitted to the IEEE for

Factorization of Joint Probability Mass Functions into Parity Check Interactions
We show that any joint probability mass function (PMF) can be expressed as a product of parity check factors an d factors of degree one with the help of some auxiliary variables, if the alphabet size is appropriate for defining a parity chec k equation. In other words, marginalization of a joint PMF is equivalent to a soft decoding task as long as a finite field can be constructed over the alphabet of the PMF. In factor graph terminology this claim means that a factor graph representing such a joint PMF always has an equivalent Tanner graph. We provide a systematic method based on the Hilbert space of PMF s and orthogonal projections for obtaining this factorization
A Theoretical Performance Bound for Joint Beamformer Design of Wireless Fronthaul and Access Links in Downlink C-RAN
It is known that data rates in standard cellular networks are limited due to
inter-cell interference. An effective solution of this problem is to use the
multi-cell cooperation idea. In Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN), which is a
candidate solution in 5G and future communication networks, cooperation is
applied by means of central processors (CPs) connected to simple remote radio
heads with finite capacity fronthaul links. In this study, we consider a
downlink C-RAN with a wireless fronthaul and aim to minimize total power spent
by jointly designing beamformers for fronthaul and access links. We consider
the case where perfect channel state information is not available in the CP. We
first derive a novel theoretical performance bound for the problem defined.
Then we propose four algorithms with different complexities to show the
tightness of the bound. The first two algorithms apply successive convex
optimizations with semi-definite relaxation idea where other two are adapted
from well-known beamforming design methods. The detailed simulations under
realistic channel conditions show that as the complexity of the algorithm
increases, the corresponding performance becomes closer to the bound.Comment: 30 pages, single column, 11 figures, submitted to Transactions on

Beamformer Design with Smooth Constraint-Free Approximation in Downlink Cloud Radio Access Networks
It is known that data rates in standard cellular networks are limited due to
inter-cell interference. An effective solution of this problem is to use the
multi-cell cooperation idea. In Cloud Radio Access Network, which is a
candidate solution in 5G and beyond, cooperation is applied by means of central
processors (CPs) connected to simple remote radio heads with finite capacity
fronthaul links. In this study, we consider a downlink scenario and aim to
minimize total power spent by designing beamformers. We consider the case where
perfect channel state information is not available in the CP. The original
problem includes discontinuous terms with many constraints. We propose a novel
method which transforms the problem into a smooth constraint-free form and a
solution is found by the gradient descent approach. As a comparison, we
consider the optimal method solving an extensive number of convex sub-problems,
a known heuristic search algorithm and some sparse solution techniques.
Heuristic search methods find a solution by solving a subset of all possible
convex sub-problems. Sparse techniques apply some norm approximation
() or convex approximation to make the objective
function more tractable. We also derive a theoretical performance bound in
order to observe how far the proposed method performs off the optimal method
when running the optimal method is prohibitive due to computational complexity.
Detailed simulations show that the performance of the proposed method is close
to the optimal one, and it outperforms other methods analyzed.Comment: 18 pages, 12 figures, submitted to IEEE Access in Feb. 03, 2021. It

A Reduced Complexity Ungerboeck Receiver for Quantized Wideband Massive SC-MIMO
Employing low resolution analog-to-digital converters in massive
multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) has many advantages in terms of total
power consumption, cost and feasibility of such systems. However, such
advantages come together with significant challenges in channel estimation and
data detection due to the severe quantization noise present. In this study, we
propose a novel iterative receiver for quantized uplink single carrier MIMO
(SC-MIMO) utilizing an efficient message passing algorithm based on the
Bussgang decomposition and Ungerboeck factorization, which avoids the use of a
complex whitening filter. A reduced state sequence estimator with bidirectional
decision feedback is also derived, achieving remarkable complexity reduction
compared to the existing receivers for quantized SC-MIMO in the literature,
without any requirement on the sparsity of the transmission channel. Moreover,
the linear minimum mean-square-error (LMMSE) channel estimator for SC-MIMO
under frequency-selective channel, which do not require any cyclic-prefix
overhead, is also derived. We observe that the proposed receiver has
significant performance gains with respect to the existing receivers in the
literature under imperfect channel state information.Comment: This work has been submitted to the IEEE for possible publication.

Performance Analysis of Quantized Uplink Massive MIMO-OFDM With Oversampling Under Adjacent Channel Interference
Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems have attracted much attention lately due to the many advantages they provide over single-antenna systems. Owing to the many antennas, low-cost implementation and low power consumption per antenna are desired. To that end, massive MIMO structures with low-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADC) have been investigated in many studies. However, the effect of a strong interferer in the adjacent band on quantized massive MIMO systems have not been examined yet. In this study, we analyze the performance of uplink massive MIMO with low-resolution ADCs under frequency selective fading with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in the perfect and imperfect receiver channel state information cases. We derive analytical expressions for the bit error rate and ergodic capacity. We show that the interfering band can be suppressed by increasing the number of antennas or the oversampling rate when a zero-forcing receiver is employed
