<p>In the high-end research process of wireless systems and in the race for the development of the new technologies, MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) is getting more attention now days. It has a high potential usage in the 3G and 4G communications and beyond. The MIMO based system has got the ability to increase the data throughput in spectrum-limited conditions. With the increase and complexity of wireless applications, the spectrum efficiency improvement in the physical layer will be saturated. MIMO is predicted to be one of the major features for the next generation wireless networking.

This paper considers the combination of interference alignment and distributed antenna systems to improve the rate performance of cell-edge users in the cellular downlink. Because the power resources of each antenna in distributed antenna systems are geographically separated, practical implementations of distributed antenna systems require consideration of per-antenna power constraints on the transmit antennas. For this reason, we consider interference alignment with two types of power constraints: per-antenna power inequality constraints and per-antenna power equality constraints. On one hand, we show that interference alignment with per-antenna power inequality constraints is arbitrarily feasible using a technique of antenna power back-off but suffers from a loss of performance that we quantify in the case of Rayleigh-fading. On the other hand, we show that interference alignment with per-antenna power equality constraints does not suffer from a systematic loss of performance but yet requires more antennas to be feasible. We develop algorithms for implementing interference alignment with both types of constraints and numerically validate the results of our analysis. Finally, we demonstrate using the 3rd Generation Partnership Project spatial channel model in a cellular setting that interference alignment with distributed antenna systems has better rate performance than interference alignment with centralized antenna systems throughout the entire cell, especially near the cell boundary. / text

Yes / An adaptive iterative learning control(ILC) approach is proposed for a class of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) uncertain nonlinear systems without prior knowledge about system control gain matrices. The Nussbaum-type gain and the positive definite discrete matrix kernel are proposed for dealing with selection of the unknown control gain and learning of the repeatable uncertainties, respectively. Asymptotic convergence for a trajectory tracking within a finite time interval is achieved through repetitive tracking. Simulations are carried out to show the validity of the proposed control method.

Yes / This paper investigates the stabilisation problem and consider transient optimisation for a class of the multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) semi-linear stochastic systems. A control algorithm is presented via an m-block backstepping controller design where the closed-loop system has been stabilized in a probabilistic sense and the transient performance is optimisable by optimised by searching the design parameters under the given criterion. In particular, the transient randomness and the probabilistic decoupling will be investigated as case studies. Note that the presented control algorithm can be potentially extended as a framework based on the various performance criteria. To evaluate the effectiveness of this proposed control framework, a numerical example is given with simulation results. In summary, the key contributions of this paper are stated as follows: 1) one block backstepping-based output feedback control design is developed to stabilize the dynamic MIMO semi-linear stochastic systems using a linear estimator; 2) the randomness and probabilistic couplings of the system outputs have been minimized based on the optimisation of the design parameters of the controller; 3) a control framework with transient performance enhancement of multi-variable semi-linear stochastic systems has been discussed. / Higher Education Innovation Fund (No. HEIF 2018-2020), De Montfort University, Leicester, UK.

This thesis presents the design and implementation of control strategies for building energy management systems (BEMS). The controllers considered include the multi PI-loop controllers, state-space designs, constrained input and output MIMO adaptive controllers, fuzzy logic solutions and genetic algorithm techniques. The control performances of the designs developed using the various methods based on aspects such as regulation errors squared, energy consumptions and the settling periods are investigated for different designs. The aim of the control strategy is to regulate the room temperature and the humidity to required comfort levels. In this study the building system under study is a 3 input/ 2 output system subject to external disturbances/effects. The three inputs are heating, cooling and humidification, and the 2 outputs are room air temperature and relative humidity. The external disturbances consist of climatic effects and other stochastic influences. The study is carried out within a simulation environment using the mathematical model of the test room at Loughborough University and the designed control solutions are verified through experimental trials using the full-scale BMS facility at the University of Bradford.
