Cellular Systems with Many Antennas: Large System Analysis under Pilot Contamination
Base stations with a large number of transmit antennas have the potential to
serve a large number of users simultaneously at higher rates. They also promise
a lower power consumption due to coherent combining at the receiver. However,
the receiver processing in the uplink relies on the channel estimates which are
known to suffer from pilot interference. In this work, we perform an uplink
large system analysis of multi-cell multi-antenna system when the receiver
employs a matched filtering with a pilot contaminated estimate. We find the
asymptotic Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) as the number of
antennas and number of users per base station grow large while maintaining a
fixed ratio. To do this, we make use of the similarity of the uplink received
signal in a multi-antenna system to the representation of the received signal
in CDMA systems. The asymptotic SINR expression explicitly captures the effect
of pilot contamination and that of interference averaging. This also explains
the SINR performance of receiver processing schemes at different regimes such
as instances when the number of antennas are comparable to number of users as
well as when antennas exceed greatly the number of users. Finally, we also
propose that the adaptive MMSE symbol detection scheme, which does not require
the explicit channel knowledge, can be employed for cellular systems with large
number of antennas.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Improved reception of in-body signals by means of a wearable multi-antenna system
High data-rate wireless communication for in-body human implants is mainly performed in the 402-405 MHz Medical Implant Communication System band and the 2.45 GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical band. The latter band offers larger bandwidth, enabling high-resolution live video transmission. Although in-body signal attenuation is larger, at least 29 dB more power may be transmitted in this band and the antenna efficiency for compact antennas at 2.45 GHz is also up to 10 times higher. Moreover, at the receive side, one can exploit the large surface provided by a garment by deploying multiple compact highly efficient wearable antennas, capturing the signals transmitted by the implant directly at the body surface, yielding stronger signals and reducing interference. In this paper, we implement a reliable 3.5 Mbps wearable textile multi-antenna system suitable for integration into a jacket worn by a patient, and evaluate its potential to improve the In-to-Out Body wireless link reliability by means of spatial receive diversity in a standardized measurement setup. We derive the optimal distribution and the minimum number of on-body antennas required to ensure signal levels that are large enough for real-time wireless endoscopy-capsule applications, at varying positions and orientations of the implant in the human body
Design of Multi-Antenna System for UMTS Clamshell Mobile Phones with Ground Plane Effects Considerations
In this paper, the influence of the ground plane dimensions on the port-to-port isolation of two closely-spaced Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Planar Inverted-F Antennas (PIFAs) with and without neutralization line is first presented. Parametric studies show the existence of an optimal size of the ground plane allowing optimizing the isolation and the efficiency of the considered antenna-system. The results obtained with this study are used in the second part to develop an efficient neutralized multi-antenna system for clamshell-type mobile phones. The obtained results, in terms of isolation, matching and diversity for the two possible configurations of the clamshell system in use namely the open and the closed states, show that good performance are obtained in the open state and preserved in the closed state. Prototypes of these two configurations are realized and measurement results are in good agreement with the simulations
Improved Alamouti STBC Multi-Antenna System using Hadamard Matrices
YesTo achieve multiple input multiple output (MIMO) in wireless communication, the orthogonal space-time block coding (OSTBC) is evaluated next. At first, the OSTBC design is extended to include Hadamard matrix, referred to in this work, as traditional Hadamard OSTBC. Next, the Hadamard matrix is imposed on the conventional OSTBC, which is referred to, in this work as, Alamouti-Hadamard STBC. Both the traditional Hadamard OSTBC and the conventional STBC are compared with the Alamouti-Hadamard STBC. It will be shown that imposing the Hadamard conditions over the conventional OSTBC, the performance of the OSTBC 2-transmit antenna scheme can be significantly improved in terms of BER performance. All propositions are well supported with analytical derivations

Low Power Analog-to-Digital Conversion in Millimeter Wave Systems: Impact of Resolution and Bandwidth on Performance
The wide bandwidth and large number of antennas used in millimeter wave
systems put a heavy burden on the power consumption at the receiver. In this
paper, using an additive quantization noise model, the effect of analog-digital
conversion (ADC) resolution and bandwidth on the achievable rate is
investigated for a multi-antenna system under a receiver power constraint. Two
receiver architectures, analog and digital combining, are compared in terms of
performance. Results demonstrate that: (i) For both analog and digital
combining, there is a maximum bandwidth beyond which the achievable rate
decreases; (ii) Depending on the operating regime of the system, analog
combiner may have higher rate but digital combining uses less bandwidth when
only ADC power consumption is considered, (iii) digital combining may have
higher rate when power consumption of all the components in the receiver
front-end are taken into account.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, in Proc. of IEEE Information Theory and
