In this paper, we present a low complexity modified multi-level sphere decoder (SD) for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems employing quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signals. The proposed decoder, exploiting the multi-level structure of the QAM signal scheme, first decomposes the high-level constellation into low-level 4-QAM constellations, so-called sub-constellations. Then, it deploys SD in the sub-constellations in parallel. In addition, in the searching stage, it uses the optimal low-complexity sort method. Computer simulation results show that the proposed decoder can provide near optimal maximum-likelihood (ML) performance while it significantly reduces the computational load.

We investigate the opposite of artificial noise (AN)-assisted communication in multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) wiretap channels for the multiuser case by taking the side of the eavesdropper. We first define a framework for an AN-assisted multiuser multiple-input-multiple-output (MU-MIMO) system, for which eavesdropping methods are proposed with and without knowledge of legitimate users' channel state information (CSI). The proposed method without CSI is based on a modified joint approximate diagonalization of eigen-matrices algorithm, which eliminates permutation indetermination and phase ambiguity, as well as the minimum description length algorithm, which blindly estimates the number of secret data sources. Simulation results show that both proposed methods can intercept information effectively. In addition, the proposed method without legitimate users' CSI performs well in terms of robustness and computational complexity.

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmit pre-coding/beamforming can significantly improve system spectral efficiency. However, several obstacles prevent precoding from wide deployment in early wireless networks: The significant feedback overhead, performance degradation due to feedback delay, and the large storage requirement at the mobile devices. In this paper, we propose a precoding method that addresses these issues. In this approach, only 3 or 6 bits feedback is needed to select a precoding matrix from a codebook. There are fifteen codebooks, each corresponding to a unique combination of antenna configuration (up to 4 antennas) and codebook size. Small codebooks are prestored and large codebooks are efficiently computed from the prestored codebook, modified Hochwald method and Householder reflection. Finally, the feedback delay is compensated by channel prediction. The scheme is validated by simulations and we have observed significant gains comparing to space-time coding and antenna selection. This solution was adopted as a part of the IEEE 802.16e specification in 2005.

In this paper, an adaptive minimum transmit power modulation scheme under constant data rate and fixed bit error rate (BER) for the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system is proposed. It adjusts the modulation order and allocates the transmit power to each spatial sub-channel when meeting the user's requirements at the cost of minimum transmission power. Compared to the other algorithm, it can obtain good performance with lower computational complexity and can be applied to the wireless communication system. Computer simulation results present the efficiency of the proposed scheme. And its performance under different channel condition has been compared with the other algorithm.

This paper considers a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) power line communication (PLC) network where interference alignment (IA) technique is used to mitigate the interference that arises in multi-user networks. IA as a precoding technique requires perfect channel state information (CSI) to achieve maximum multiplexing gain. Due to the common-mode reception at the receiver ports, we assume imperfect CSI for the IA precoding design. Here, the CSI is quantized and sent via feedback to the transmit ports. For different levels of CSI quantization, we evaluate the performance of various IA algorithms via Monte Carlo simulations. Simulation results reveal the superior performance of the proposed scheme due to common-mode reception in IA MIMO PLC networks. It is shown that for a quantization level of 5 bits, the CM reception improves the sum-rate by up to 70%.

빔 공간 Multiple-Input Multiple Output(MIMO) 시스템은 단일 Radio Frequency(RF)-체인을 가지는 Electronically Steerable Parasitic Array Radiator(ESPAR) 안테나를 이용하여 다수의 데이터를 동시에 전송할 수 있는 시스템이다. 단일 안테나, 단일 RF-체인을 사용하는 ESPAR 안테나의 특성에 의해 빔 공간 MIMO 시스템은 기존 MIMO 시스템에 비해 시스템의 복잡도가 줄어들고 안테나의 소형화가 가능하다. 기존에는 빔 공간 MIMO 시스템을 사용하여 단일 반송파를 전송하는 연구만이 진행되었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다중 반송파를 전송하기 위해 Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(OFDM) 기반의 빔 공간 MIMO 시스템을 제안하고 성능을 분석하였다. 제안하는 빔 공간 MIMO 시스템은 기생소자의 리액턴스 값에 의해 Bit Error Rate(BER) 성능이 변화하기 때문에 최적의 성능을 가지는 리액턴스 값을 찾고, 이때의 BER 성능이 기존의 MIMO OFDM 시스템의 성능과 유사한 것을 확인하였다.

This work investigates the progressive linear precoder design for packet retransmissions in multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems with multiple codewords and automatic repeat request (ARQ) bundling feedback. Assuming perfect channel state information, a novel progressive linear ARQ precoder is proposed in the perspective of minimizing the packet error rate. We devise the ARQ precoder by combining power loading and sub channel pairing between current retransmission and previous transmissions. Furthermore, we extend the design to the case that the channel estimation error exists. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme can improve the performance of MIMO ARQ systems significantly regardless of the channel estimation error.

Massive (large-scale) MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) is one of the key technologies in next-generation wireless communication systems. This paper proposes a high-performance low-complexity turbo receiver for SC-FDMA (single-carrier frequency-division multiple access) based MMIMO (massive MIMO) systems. Because SC-FDMA technology has the desirable characteristics of OFDMA (orthogonal frequency division multiple access) and the low PAPR (peak-to-average power ratio) of SC transmission schemes, the 3GPP LTE (long-term evolution) has adopted it as the uplink transmission to meet the demand high data rate and low error rate performance. The complexity of computing will be increased greatly in base station with massive MIMO (MMIMO) system. In this paper, a low-complexity adaptive turbo equalization receiver based on normalized minimal symbol-error-rate for MMIMO SC-FDMA system is proposed. The proposed receiver is with low complexity than that of the conventional turbo MMSE (minimum mean square error) equalizer and is also with better bit error rate (BER) performance than that of the conventional adaptive turbo MMSE equalizer. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
