Design Of Linear Precoded MIMO Communication SystemsBhavani Shankar, M R 04 1900 (has links)
This work deals with the design of MT transmit, MR receive antenna MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) communication system where the transmitter performs a linear operation on data. This linear precoding model includes systems which involve signal shaping for achieving higher data rates, uncoded MIMO Multicarrier and Single-Carrier systems and, the more recent, MIMO-OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) systems employing full diversity Space-Frequency codes. The objective of this work is to design diversity centric and rate centric linear precoded MIMO systems whose performance is better than the existing designs. In particular, we consider MIMO-OFDM systems, Zero Padded MIMO systems and MIMO systems with limited rate feedback. Design of full diversity MIMO-OFDM systems of rate symbol per channel use (1 s/ pcu) : In literature, MIMO-OFDM systems exploiting full diversity at a rate of 1 s/ pcu are based on a few specific Space-Frequency (SF)/ Space-Time-Frequency (STF) codes. In this work, we devise a general parameterized framework for the design of MIMO-OFDM systems employing full diversity STF codes of rate 1 s/ pcu. This framework unifies all existing designs and provides tools for the design of new systems with interesting properties and superior performance. Apart from rate and diversity, the parameters of the framework are designed for a low complexity receiver. The parameters of the framework usually depend on the channel characteristics (number of multipath, Delay Profile (DP)). When channel characteristics are available at the transmitter, a procedure to optimize the performance of STF codes is provided. The resulting codes are termed as DP optimized codes. Designs obtained using the optimization are illustrated and their performance is shown to be better than the existing ones. To cater to the scenarios where channel characteristics are not available at the transmitter, a complete characterization of a class of full diversity DP Independent (DPI) STF codes is provided. These codes exploit full diversity on channels with a given number of multipath irrespective of their characteristics. Design of DP optimized STF codes and DPI codes from the same framework highlights the flexibility of the framework.
Design of Zero Padded (ZP) MIMO systems : While the MIMO-OFDM transmitter needs to precode data for exploiting channel induced multipath diversity, ZP MIMO systems with ML receivers are shown to exploit multipath diversity without any precoding. However, the receiver complexity of such systems is enormous and hence a study ZP MIMO system with linear receivers is undertaken. Central to this study involves devising low complexity receivers and deriving the diversity gain of linear receivers. Reduced complexity receiver implementations are presented for two classes of precoding schemes. An upper bound on the diversity gain of linear receivers is evaluated for certain precoding schemes. For uncoded systems operating on a channel of length L, this bound is shown to be MRL_MT +1 for uncoded transmissions, i.e, such systems tend to exploit receiver and multipath diversities. On the other hand, MIMO-OFDM systems designed earlier have to trade diversity with receiver complexity. These observations motivate us to use ZP MIMO systems with linear receivers for channels with large delay spread when receiver complexity is at a premium. Design examples highlighting the attractiveness of ZP systems when employed on channels with large delay spread are also presented.
Efficient design of MIMO systems with limited feedback : Literature presents a number of works that consider the design of MIMO systems with partial feedback. The works that consider feedback of complete CSI, however, do not provide for an efficient system design. In this work, we consider two schemes, Correlation matrix feedback and Channel information feedback that convey complete CSI to the transmitter. This CSI is perturbed due to various impairments. A perturbation analysis is carried out to study the variations in mutual information for each of the proposed schemes. For ergodic channels, this analysis is used to design a MIMO system with a limited rate feedback. Using a codebook based approach, vector quantizers are designed to minimize the loss in ergodic capacity for each of the proposed schemes. The efficiency of the design stems from the ability to obtain closed-form expression for centroids during the iterative vector quantizer design. The performance of designed vector quantizers compare favorably with the existing designs. The vector quantizer design for channel information feedback is robust in the sense that the same codebook can be used across all operating SNR. Use of vector quantizers for improving the outage performance is also presented.

Resource Allocation for Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output Interference NetworksCao, Pan 11 March 2015 (has links) (PDF)
To meet the exponentially increasing traffic data driven by the rapidly growing mobile subscriptions, both industry and academia are exploring the potential of a new genera- tion (5G) of wireless technologies. An important 5G goal is to achieve high data rate. Small cells with spectrum sharing and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques are one of the most promising 5G technologies, since it enables to increase the aggregate data rate by improving the spectral efficiency, nodes density and transmission bandwidth, respectively. However, the increased interference in the densified networks will in return limit the achievable rate performance if not properly managed.
The considered setup can be modeled as MIMO interference networks, which can be classified into the K-user MIMO interference channel (IC) and the K-cell MIMO interfering broadcast channel/multiple access channel (MIMO-IBC/IMAC) according to the number of mobile stations (MSs) simultaneously served by each base station (BS). The thesis considers two physical layer (PHY) resource allocation problems that deal with the interference for both models: 1) Pareto boundary computation for the achiev- able rate region in a K-user single-stream MIMO IC and 2) grouping-based interference alignment (GIA) with optimized IA-Cell assignment in a MIMO-IMAC under limited feedback. In each problem, the thesis seeks to provide a deeper understanding of the system and novel mathematical results, along with supporting numerical examples. Some of the main contributions can be summarized as follows.
It is an open problem to compute the Pareto boundary of the achievable rate region for a K-user single-stream MIMO IC. The K-user single-stream MIMO IC models multiple transmitter-receiver pairs which operate over the same spectrum simultaneously. Each transmitter and each receiver is equipped with multiple antennas, and a single desired data stream is communicated in each transmitter-receiver link. The individual achievable rates of the K users form a K-dimensional achievable rate region. To find efficient operating points in the achievable rate region, the Pareto boundary computation problem, which can be formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem, needs to be solved. The thesis transforms the multi-objective optimization problem to two single-objective optimization problems–single constraint rate maximization problem and alternating rate profile optimization problem, based on the formulations of the ε-constraint optimization and the weighted Chebyshev optimization, respectively. The thesis proposes two alternating optimization algorithms to solve both single-objective optimization problems. The convergence of both algorithms is guaranteed. Also, a heuristic initialization scheme is provided for each algorithm to achieve a high-quality solution. By varying the weights in each single-objective optimization problem, numerical results show that both algorithms provide an inner bound very close to the Pareto boundary. Furthermore, the thesis also computes some key points exactly on the Pareto boundary in closed-form.
A framework for interference alignment (IA) under limited feedback is proposed for a MIMO-IMAC. The MIMO-IMAC well matches the uplink scenario in cellular system, where multiple cells share their spectrum and operate simultaneously. In each cell, a BS receives the desired signals from multiple MSs within its own cell and each BS and each MS is equipped with multi-antenna. By allowing the inter-cell coordination, the thesis develops a distributed IA framework under limited feedback from three aspects: the GIA, the IA-Cell assignment and dynamic feedback bit allocation (DBA), respec- tively. Firstly, the thesis provides a complete study along with some new improvements of the GIA, which enables to compute the exact IA precoders in closed-form, based on local channel state information at the receiver (CSIR). Secondly, the concept of IA-Cell assignment is introduced and its effect on the achievable rate and degrees of freedom (DoF) performance is analyzed. Two distributed matching approaches and one centralized assignment approach are proposed to find a good IA-Cell assignment in three scenrios with different backhaul overhead. Thirdly, under limited feedback, the thesis derives an upper bound of the residual interference to noise ratio (RINR), formulates and solves a corresponding DBA problem. Finally, numerical results show that the proposed GIA with optimized IA-Cell assignment and the DBA greatly outperforms the traditional GIA algorithm.

Coding For Wireless Relay Networks And Mutiple Access ChannelsHarshan, J 02 1900 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis addresses the design of low-complexity coding schemes for wireless relay networks and multiple access channels. The first part of the thesis is on wireless relay networks and the second part is on multiple access channels.
Distributed space-time coding is a well known technique to achieve spatial diversity in wireless networks wherein, several geographically separated nodes assist a source node to distributively transmit a space-time block code (STBC) to the destination. Such STBCs are referred to as Distributed STBCs (DSTBCs). In the first part of the thesis, we focus on designing full diversity DSTBCs with some nice properties which make them amenable for implementation in practice. Towards that end, a class of full diversity DST-BCs referred to as Co-ordinate Interleaved DSTBCs (CIDSTBCs) are proposed for relay networks with two-antenna relays. To construct CIDSTBCs, a technique called co-ordinate vector interleaving is introduced wherein, the received signals at different antennas of the relay are processed in a combined fashion. Compared to the schemes where the received signals at different antennas of the relay are processed independently, we show that CIDSTBCs provide coding gain which comes in with negligible increase in the processing complexity at the relays. Subsequently, we design single-symbol ML decodable (SSD) DSTBCs for relay networks with single-antenna nodes. In particular, two classes of SSD DSTBCs referred to as (i) Semi-orthogonal SSD Precoded DSTBCs and (ii) Training-Symbol Embedded (TSE) SSD DSTBCs are proposed. A detailed analysis on the maximal rate of such DSTBCs is presented and explicit DSTBCs achieving the maximal rate are proposed. It is shown that the proposed codes have higher rates than the existing SSD DSTBCs.
In the second part, we study two-user Gaussian Multiple Access Channels (GMAC). Capacity regions of two-user GMAC are well known. Though, capacity regions of such channels provide insights into the achievable rate pairs in an information theoretic sense, they fail to provide information on the achievable rate pairs when we consider finitary restrictions on the input alphabets and analyze some real world practical signal constellations like QAM and PSK signal sets. Hence, we study the capacity aspects of two-user GMAC with finite input alphabets. In particular, Constellation Constrained (CC) capacity regions of two-user SISO-GMAC are computed for several orthogonal and non-orthogonal multiple access schemes (abbreviated as O-MA and NO-MA schemes respectively). It is first shown that NO-MA schemes strictly offer larger capacity regions than the O-MA schemes for finite input alphabets. Subsequently, for NO-MA schemes, code pairs based on Trellis Coded Modulation (TCM) are proposed such that any rate pair on the CC capacity region can be approached. Finally, we consider a two-user Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) fading MAC and design STBC pairs such that ML decoding complexity is reduced.

Conception de systèmes multi-antennaires pour techniques de diversité et MIMO : application aux petits objets nomades communicants / Design of multi-antenna systems for diversity and MIMO techniques : applications to small communicating devicesDioum, Ibra 12 December 2013 (has links)
La demande de transmissions à débits de plus en plus élevés s’accentue davantage avec l’essor de nouveaux services dans les réseaux de communication sans fils. Pour répondre à cette demande, une solution consiste à augmenter la capacité de transmission du canal radiofréquence entre la station de base et le terminal portatif. Ceci peut être réalisé en augmentant le nombre d’éléments rayonnant impliqués à l’émission et à la réception de cette liaison radiofréquence : on parle alors de technique MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output). Cette thèse porte principalement sur la conception, l’optimisation et la caractérisation de systèmes multi-antennaires pour techniques de diversité et MIMO en bandes LTE (Long Term Evolution). Trois prototypes multi-bandes sont proposés dont deux systèmes planaires et un système d’antennes IFAs compactes. De nouvelles solutions multi-bandes et l’influence de la position de l’antenne sur le plan de masse sont étudiées pour réaliser de la diversité spatiale, de polarisation et de diagramme de rayonnement avec une faible corrélation entre les signaux reçus sur chaque antenne mais surtout une bonne efficacité totale. Une ligne de neutralisation est utilisée pour isoler les antennes et un fonctionnement multi-bande est réalisé. L’impédance d’entrée des antennes est étudiée avec la méthode de Youla & Carlin afin d’améliorer la bande passante de la structure compacte de type IFA. Les performances en diversité et en MIMO de ces systèmes sont évaluées dans différents environnements de propagation. Elles montrent que ces systèmes peuvent être utilisés efficacement pour des applications en diversité et MIMO. / The transmission demand for increasing data rate becomes more and more important with the development of new services in radio communication networks. To answer to this demand, one solution consists in increasing the transmission capacity of the radio channel between the base station and the handset terminal. This can be realized by increasing the number of radiating elements involved in the transmission and the reception of this radio link: we talk about MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technique. The work realized in this thesis concerns mainly design, optimization and characterization of multi-antenna systems for MIMO and diversity techniques in LTE (Long Term Evolution) bands. Three multi bands prototypes are proposed whose two planar systems and one compact IFAs antennas system. News multiband solution and antenna position influence on the PCB were studied to realize spatial, polarization and pattern diversity with low correlation between received signals on each antenna and a good efficiency. The neutralization line was used for antennas isolation and its application in multiband was realized. The antenna load impedance has been studied with Youla & Carlin method in order to improve the frequency bandwidth of the compact IFA structure. Diversity and MIMO performances of these systems were evaluated in different propagation environments. They show that these systems can be effectively used for diversity and MIMO application.

Conception d'un sondeur de canal MIMO - Caractérisation du canal de propagation d'un point de vue directionnel et doublement directionnelCOSQUER, Ronan 22 October 2004 (has links) (PDF)
Depuis l'apparition des premiers réseaux radiomobiles cellulaires analogiques au d´ebut des années 70, nous avons assisté à une explosion de la demande en systèmes de communication sans fil. Les services concernés par les télécommunications sans fil se sont depuis étendus à la transmission de données et aux applications multimédia. Devant la nécessité d'avoir des débits élevés tout en garantissant une certaine qualit´e de service, les techniques MIMO (Multiple Input - Multiple Output) apparaissent comme très prometteuses. En utilisant plusieurs antennes simultanément en émission et en réception, ces systèmes exploitent la dimension spatiale pour la transmission de l'information. Ainsi la mise en oeuvre de ces techniques permet d'aboutir à une amélioration substantielle des débits et/ou des performances des liaisons numériques. Comme dans toutes les études systèmes, une analyse approfondie du canal de transmission et des mécanismes de propagation associés s'avère indispensable. Si dans un contexte classique, la caractérisation et la modélisation du canal peuvent se limiter au domaine temporel, il est n´ecessaire pour les systèmes MIMO de considérer la dimension spatiale au même niveau que la dimension temporelle. Une modélisation précise et réaliste du canal dans le domaine spatial est d'autant plus importante dans un contexte MIMO, puisque le gain par rapport à un système classique en terme de débit et/ou de performance est largement tributaire des propriétés spatiales du canal. C'est dans ce contexte que s'inscrit le travail présenté dans ce document. Cette thèse a pour objectif la conception d'un système de mesure performant permettant d'approfondir la connaissance du canal de propagation MIMO pour la bande UMTS.

A Filterbank Precoding Framework For MIMO Frequency Selective ChannelsVijaya, Krishna, A 08 1900 (has links)
Wireless systems with multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver (MIMO systems) have been the focus of research in the recent past due to their ability to provide higher data rates and better reliability than their single antenna counterparts. Designing a communication system for MIMO frequency selective channels provides many signal processing challenges. Popular methods like MIMOOFDM and space-time precoding linearly process blocks of data at both the transmitter and the receiver. Independence between the blocks is ensured by introducing sufficient redundancy between successive blocks. This approach has many pitfalls, including the limit on achievable data rate due to redundancy requirements and the need for additional coding/processing.
In this thesis, we provide a filterbank precoding framework (FBP) for communication over MIMO frequency selective channels. By viewing the channel as a polynomial matrix, we derive the minimum redundancy required for achieving FIR equalization of the precoded channel. It is shown that, for most practical channels, a nominal redundancy is enough. The results are general, and hold for channels of any dimension and order. We derive the zero-forcing and MMSE equalizers for the precoded channel. The role of equalizer delay in system performance is analyzed.
We extend the minimum redundancy result to the case of space-time filterbank precoding (STFP). Introducing the time dimension allows the channel to be represented by a block pseudocirculant matrix. By using the Smith form of block pseudocirculant matrices, we show that very high data rates can be achieved with STFP.
When channel information is available at the transmitter, we derive an iterative algorithm for obtaining the MMSE optimal precoder-equalizer pair. We then provide a comparison of FBP with the block processing methods. It is shown that FBP provides better BER performance than the block processing methods at a lower computational cost. The reasons for the better performance of FBP are discussed.

Low-Complexity PAPR Reduction Schemes for Multi-Carrier SystemsWang, Sen-Hung 23 August 2010 (has links)
Selected mapping (SLM) schemes are commonly employed to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. It has been shown that the computational complexity of the traditional SLM scheme can be substantially reduced by adopting conversion vectors obtained by using the inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) of the phase rotation vectors in place of the conventional IFFT operations. To ensure that the elements of these phase rotation vectors have an equal magnitude, conversion vectors should have the form of a perfect sequence. This study firstly presents three novel classes of perfect sequence, each of which comprises certain base vectors and their cyclically shifted versions. Three novel low-complexity SLM schemes are then proposed based upon the unique structures of these perfect sequences. It is shown that while the PAPR reduction performances of the proposed schemes are marginally poorer than that of the traditional SLM scheme, the three schemes achieve a substantially lower computational complexity. Since the three proposed PAPR reduction schemes cannot be utilized in the orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) system. A low-complexity scheme for PAPR reduction in OFDMA uplink systems using either an interleaved or a sub-band sub-carrier assignment strategy is also proposed in the second part of this study. The proposed scheme requires just one IFFT operation. The PAPR reduction performance of the proposed scheme is only marginally poorer than that of the traditional SLM scheme. However, the proposed schemes have significantly lower computational complexities. Besides, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) OFDM systems with space-frequency block coding (SFBC) are well-known for their robust performance in time selective fading channels. However, SFBC MIMO-OFDM systems have a high computational complexity since the number of IFFTs required scales in direct proportion to the number of antennas at the transmitter. Furthermore, SFBC MIMO-OFDM systems have a high PAPR. Accordingly, a low-complexity PAPR reduction scheme for SFBC MIMO OFDM systems with the Alamouti encoding scheme is proposed in this study. Extending this scheme obtains two low-complexity transmitter architectures for SFBC MIMO-OFDM systems with a general encoding matrix and an arbitrary number of transmitter antennas. The proposed schemes achieve a significant reduction in computational complexity by fully exploiting the time-domain signal properties of the transmitted signal. In addition, a PAPR reduction scheme is presented based on the proposed transmitter schemes. It is shown that the PAPR reduction performance of the proposed scheme is almost as good as that of the traditional SLM scheme, but is achieved with a substantially lower computational complexity.

Optimizing dense wireless networks of MIMO linksCortes-Pena, Luis Miguel 27 August 2014 (has links)
Wireless communication systems have exploded in popularity over the past few decades. Due to their popularity, the demand for higher data rates by the users, and the high cost of wireless spectrum, wireless providers are actively seeking ways to improve the spectral efficiency of their networks. One promising technique to improve spectral efficiency is to equip the wireless devices with multiple antennas. If both the transmitter and receiver of a link are equipped with multiple antennas, they form a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) link.
The multiple antennas at the nodes provide degrees-of-freedom that can be used for either sending multiple streams of data simultaneously (a technique known as spatial multiplexing), or for suppressing interference through linear combining, but not both. Due to this trade-off, careful allocation of how many streams each link should carry is important to ensure that each node has enough degrees-of-freedom available to suppress the interference and support its desired streams. How the streams are sent and received and how interference is suppressed is ultimately determined by the beamforming weights at the transmitters and the combining weights at the receivers. Determining these weights is, however, made difficult by their inherent interdependency.
Our focus is on unplanned and/or dense single-hop networks, such as WLANs and femtocells, where each single-hop network is composed of an access point serving several associated clients. The objective of this research is to design algorithms for maximizing the performance of dense single-hop wireless networks of MIMO links. We address the problems of determining which links to schedule together at each time slot, how many streams to allocate to each link (if any), and the beamforming and combining weights that support those streams.
This dissertation describes four key contributions as follows:
- We classify any interference suppression technique as either unilateral interference suppression or bilateral interference suppression. We show that a simple bilateral interference suppression approach outperforms all known unilateral interference suppression approaches, even after searching for the best unilateral solution.
- We propose an algorithm based on bilateral interference suppression whose goal is to maximize the sum rate of a set of interfering MIMO links by jointly optimizing which subset of transmitters should transmit, the number of streams for each transmitter (if any), and the beamforming and combining weights that support those streams.
- We propose a framework for optimizing dense single-hop wireless networks. The framework implements techniques to address several practical issues that arise when implementing interference suppression, such as the overhead of performing channel measurements and communicating channel state information, the overhead of computing the beamforming and combining weights, and the overhead of cooperation between the access points.
- We derive the optimal scheduler that maximizes the sum rate subject to proportional fairness.
Simulations in ns-3 show that the framework, using the optimal scheduler, increases the proportionally fair aggregate goodput by up to 165% as compared to the aggregate goodput of 802.11n for the case of four interfering single-hop wireless networks with two clients each.
