In this paper, binary pulse-antipodal modulation (2PAM) direct-sequence (DS) ultra-wideband (UWB) system is applied to multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system using vertical bell lab layered space-time (V-BLAST) structure to achieve high-data-rate communications over indoor wireless channels. The relationship between antenna dimension and BER performance of 2PAM DS UWB MIMO system is discussed. In the receiver of UWB-MIMO system, various MIMO detection algorithms such as zero-forcing (ZF), ZF-ordered successive interference cancellation (OSIC), minimum-mean-square-error (MMSE), MMSE-OSIC and maximum likelihood (ML) are comparatively studied.

In this paper, we propose antenna and relay selection system by considering channel environment between nodes. Each node has multiple antennas in each hop. And, we analyze the performance of proposed system. A General MIMO system receives signals through multiple channels and obtains diversity gain. But MIMO system causes performance degradation due to poor received signals. The proposed system consider transmitters-relays channels, relays-receivers channels and select a best channel. This channel selection prevents performance degradation and increase total system's performance. Therefore, we must select best antennas and a best relay, simultaneously.

We investigate the connectivity of fading wireless ad-hoc networks with a pair of novel connectivity metrics. Our first metric looks at the problem of connectivity relying on the outage capacity of MIMO channels. Our second metric relies on a probabilistic treatment of the symbol error rates for such channels. We relate both capacity and symbol error rates to the characteristics of the underlying communication system such as antenna configuration, modulation, coding, and signal strength measured in terms of signal-to-interference-noise-ratio. For each metric of connectivity, we also provide a simplified treatment in the case of ergodic fading channels. In each case, we assume a pair of nodes are connected if their bi-directional measure of connectivity is better than a given threshold. Our analysis relies on the central limit theorem to approximate the distribution of the combined undesired signal affecting each link of an ad-hoc network as Gaussian. Supported by our simulation results, our analysis shows that (1) a measure of connectivity purely based on signal strength is not capable of accurately capturing the connectivity phenomenon, and (2) employing multiple antenna mobile nodes improves the connectivity of fading ad-hoc networks.

We propose a new duplex which does not require guard resources in MIMO environments. In the proposed duplex, two virtual channels in spatial domain are generated by preceding and postcoding MIMO channels, not to use guard resources in either the time or frequency domain. The capacity can be improved by properly selecting precoder and postcoder. We show the improved capacity of the proposed duplex outperforms conventional duplexes even without guard resources.

In this paper, we propose a novel interference alignment transceiver for multi-cell MIMO downlink channels with arbitrary number of cells and users per cell. We design the receive beamformer to align the interference from undesired base stations to the effective inter-cell interference (ICI) channels. Subsequently, we design the transmit precoder which can nulllify the interference from the corresponding base station. The proposed transceiver design can attain the degrees of freedom (DOF) equal to the number of streams per user. Accordingly, we investigate conditions for the antenna configuration. From numerical results, we confirm that the proposed transceiver design can achieve higher DOF than the conventional scheme under equal antenna configuration.

Interference alignment (IA) has been a powerful approach to achieve the maximum degree of freedom (DoF) for K users multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) interference channels. However, due to the feasibility constraint, aligning all the interference signals at each receiver is impractical for large K without symbol extension. In this paper, we propose two best-effort interference alignment (BEIA) schemes that the network selects the maximum number of interfering transmitters to align their signals given the feasibility conditions when each transmitter-receiver pair has a constant number of data streams. Besides, in case of not all interfering signals aligned at each receiver, an upper bound of the average throughput is derived. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes have superiority over the traditional methods, such as time division multiple access (TDMA) and cluster IA(CIA), in low and moderate signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region in terms of average user throughput. In addition, the proposed max-min relative interference distance alignment scheme outperforms the proposed scheme of equal interfering transmitters number alignment in terms of both average user throughput and minimum user throughput.

In this paper, a selective multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) transmission scheme is proposed in dual-hop MIMO relaying systems, in which orthogonal space-time block code(OSTBC) transmission and transmit antenna selection(TxAS) transmission are selectively used. Assuming independent Rayleigh fading channels, the outage probability is analyzed for a decode-and-forward(DF) relaying system using the selective MIMO transmission scheme. Also, through numerical investigation, the outage performance for the DF relaying system using the selective MIMO transmission scheme is compared with that for the conventional DF relaying system using OSTBC or TxAS. Moreover, from the performance comparison, it is shown that the proposed scheme can reduce the system overhead without outage performance degradation.

Closed-form expressions for capacity bounds of multiuser diversity combined with maximum ratio transmission (MRT) and maximum ratio combining (MRC) at each link are presented under the assumption of independent and quasi-static flat multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) Rayleigh fading channels. The analysis results precisely agree with the numerical verification results and clearly show the impact of MRT/MRC on multiuser diversity.

This paper considers a channel estimation scheme for millimeter-wave multiuser multiple-input multiple-output systems. According to the proposed method, parts of the beams are selected and the channel parameters are estimated according to the sparsity of channels and the orthogonality of the beams. Since the beams for each channel become distinct and the signal power increases with the increased number of antennas, the proposed approach is able to achieve good estimation performance. As a result, the sum rate can be increased in comparison with traditional approaches, and channels can be estimated with fewer pilot symbols. Numerical results verify that the proposed approach outperforms traditional approaches in cases with large numbers of antennas.
