The conventional detection methods developed for spatially-multiplexed MIMO systems such as OSIC and QRD-M show performance difference for each user depending on the order of detection when they are applied to detection of multi-user signals in uplink multiuser systems based on collaborative spatial multiplexing. In this paper, a signal detection method for uplink multiuser systems based on collaborative spatial multiplexing is proposed to provide similar performance for each user while its performance is close to the case of ML detection. Compared with QRD-M method, computational complexity of the proposed signal detection method is similar in the case of QPSK, and significantly lower in the case of high modulation order with 16-QAM and 64-QAM.

In multi-user MIMO systems, a base station transmits multiple data to multi-user simultaneously in order to improve performance and bandwidth efficiency. When the base station transmits multiple data to multi-user simultaneously, multi-user interference occurs severely. In this paper, we define a post-processing leakage as the total power leaked from desired user to all other users after combining at the output of each user. Using concept of the post-processing leakage, we also define a performance metric, the so called signal-to-post-processing-leakage-plus-noise ratio (SPPLNR). Assuming that the receiver is the minimum mean square error (MMSE) receiver, we propose an iterative SPPLNR-based beamforming that determines beamforming vectors and combining vectors by using an iterative method. The proposed scheme does not impose a condition on the relation between the number of transmit antennas for the base station and the number of receive antennas for users. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms a beamforming scheme perfectly eliminating the multi-user interference when channel estimation error exists.

In this paper, we first study the spatial multiplexing gain for the 3-cell interfering broadcast channels (IFBC) where all base stations and mobile users are equipped with multiple antennas. Then, we present the IA scheme in conjunction with user selection which outperforms the TDMA technique in the IFBC environment. The optimal scheduling method utilizes multiuser diversity to achieve a significant fraction of sum capacity by using an exhaustive search algorithm. To reduce the computational complexity, a suboptimal scheduling method is proposed based on a coordinate ascent approach.

Two-dimensional orthogonal variable spreading codes are presented far multiplexing of forward link in direct sequence code division multiple access(DS-CDMA) multiple antennas system. The bit error rate(BER) performance under a multi-user environment fur the additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) channel and Rayleigh fading MIMO channel are evaluated. The results demonstrate that the proposed scheme could provide flexible rates and lower peak correlation values.

In this paper, we evaluate system performance and propose signal separation and detection when a user with one antenna shares the co-channel together with a user with two space-time coded antennas. The proposed technique can identify co-channel users by an interference cancellation method and detect the signals by maximum likelihood method. Simulation results show that the shortcoming of the Minimum Mean-Squared Error technique which can be applied two users with the same number of antenna but can not applied for heterogeneous MIMO users with the different number of antennas. Also, we apply the proposed scheme to OFDM system and evaluate the system performance. By simulations, we identify that the performance of the proposed system is the same as that of the existing single antenna users and improves the performance of the two-antenna MIMO users.

In this paper, using received channel information, we analyze performance in MIMO multiuser system in low-to-medium mobile speed by selecting each user's constellations, powers, and transmit antennas. Given a target of symbol error, we determine each user's constellations, powers, selected tranprobability smit antennas such that the required signal-to-noise(SNR) is minimized for MMSE, V-BLAST receiver according to each user's information and channel estimation information. When we do power control with antenna selection technique through uplink channels of MIMO system in low-to-medium mobile speed, we analyze system performance with wireless channel information from Base-Station(BS) to Users. By simulation, it has been shown that the proposed antenna selection scheme for transmitting data offer better performance improvement than all transmit antennas for transmitting data.

In this paper, we assume the uplink multiuser MIMO system based on FDD. Considering the implementation of practical system, Antenna selection and Transmit Beamforming scheme are suggested. System model of both two schemes are introduced and the scheduling algorithm which approaches the optimal performance with affordable computational complexity is proposed for each transmission scheme. Simulation results show that the sum-rate of the proposed low complexity scheduler approaches the performance of brute-force scheduler which is believed to be the optimal scheme.

In this letter, we propose a mathematical model of variable-length payloads transmitted in EDCA and transmitted using MU-MIMO. Assuming fixed-length or the use of mean value of payload length leads to discordant results while calculating the total payload length of variable-length frames transmitted within a fixed duration. Using the proposed model results in accurate results (less than 3% relative errors) for total payload length under variable-length traffic.

It is confirmed that the proposed channel estimator can achieve accurate channel tracking performance even when various time-varying channel environments and traffic patterns are provided.

Recently, as required wireless communication traffic increase, millimeter wave mobile technologies that can secure broadband spectrum are gaining attention. However, the path loss is high in the millimeter wave channel. Massive MIMO system is being researched in which can complement the path loss by beamforming by equiped large-scale antenna at the base station. While legacy beamforming techniques have analog and digital methods, practical difficulties exist for application to massive MIMO systems in terms of system complexity and cost. Therefore, this paper studies a hybrid beamforming scheme for massive MIMO system in the millimeter wave band. Also this paper considers spatial multiplexing scheme to serve multi-users with multiple received antennas. Gains of the beamforming and the spatial multiplexing schemes are evaluated by analyzing the spectral efficiency.
