Instantaneous relay (relay-without-delay) using interference alignment is a promising approach to neutralizing interference and improving system capacity. In Wang Chenwei's work, a 2-user scenario required both source and relay to access the global channel state information (CSI). This paper shows a new method of interference alignment improves the degrees of freedom (DoF) prominently for the 3-user MIMO interference channel with instantaneous relay. This new method is focused on the relay node that completes the alignment interference neutralization so the global CSI is obtained only once and the pressure on the base station can be mitigated. In addition, the 3-user MIMO interference channels with instantaneous relay can achieve 2M DoF when source and destination have M antennas, respectively. This method shows 33% improvement over the conventional method using interference alignment which obtains 3M/2 DoF.

Most recent research on iterative solutions for interference alignment (IA) presents solutions assuming channel reciprocity based on the suppression of interference from undesired sources by using an appropriate decoding matrix also known as a receiver combining matrix for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) interference channel networks and reciprocal networks. In this paper, we present an alternative solution for IA by designing precoding and decoding matrices based on the concept of signal leakage (the measure of signal power that leaks to unintended users) on each transmit side. We propose an iterative algorithm for an IA solution based on maximization of the signal-to-leakage-and-noise ratio (SLNR) of the transmitted signal from each transmitter. In order to make an algorithm removing the requirement of channel reciprocity, we deploy maximization of the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) in the design of the decoding matrices. We show through simulation that minimizing the leakage in each transmission can help achieve enhanced performance in terms of aggregate sum capacity in the system.

본 논문에서는, 하향 다중 사용자 MIMO 환경에서 간섭 검출 및 제거를 하기위해 확장된 fixed-complexity sphere decoder (FSD) 알고리즘이 제안되었다. 제안된 알고리즘은, generalized sphere decoder (GSD) 알고리즘을 이용한 채널행렬 확장과 간섭신호와 요구신호를 고려한 채널행렬 순서화를 통해 FSD 알고리즘을 간섭신호 검출에 활용 가능하도록 확장 하였다. IEEE802.11ac의 통신모드 중 네 명의 다중 사용자에게 각각 702 Mbit/s 전송이 가능한 환경의 몬테카를로실험을 통해서, 제안된 알고리즘이 10% packet error rate기준으로 간섭제거 기능이 없는 maximum-likelihood 검출성능 대비 $E_b/N_0$가 약 3 dB 향상됨을 보여주었다.

In this paper, various ultra-wideband (UWB) spatial multiplxing (SM) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) receivers based on a prerake diversity combining scheme are discussed and their performance is analyzed. Several UWB MIMO detection approaches such as zero forcing (ZF), minimum mean square error (MMSE), ordered successive interference cancellation (OSIC), sorted QR decomposition (SQRD), and maximum likelihood (ML) are considered in order to cope with inter-channel interference. The UWB SM systems based on transmitter-side multipath preprocessing and receiver-side MIMO detection can either boost the transmission data rate or offer significant diversity gain and improved BER performance. The error performance and complexity of linear and nonlinear detection algorithms are comparatively studied on a lognormal multipath fading channel.

This paper proposes an advanced turbo receiver with joint inter-carrier interference (ICI) self cancellation and channel equalization for multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems over rapidly time-varying channel environment. The ICI caused by impairment of local oscillators and carrier frequency offset (CFO) is the major problem for MIMO-OFDM communication systems. The existing schemes (conjugate cancellation (CC) and phase rotated conjugate cancellation (PRCC)) that deal with the ICI cancellation and channel equalization can't provide satisfactory performance over time-varying channels. In term of error rate performance and low computational complexity, ICI self cancellation is the best choice. So, this paper proposes a turbo receiver to deal with the problem of joint ICI self cancellation and channel equalization. We employ the adaptive phase rotations in the receiver to effectively track the CFO variations without feeding back the CFO estimate to the transmitter as required in traditional existing scheme. We also give some simulations to verify the proposed scheme. The proposed schene outperforms the existing schemes.

본 논문에서는 다수의 송신 안테나와 수신 안테나를 갖는 RF 중계기를 위한 적응 간섭제거 알고리즘을 제안한다. 중계기에서 다수의 안테나를 사용하는 경우 송신 안테나와 수신 안테나간의 불완전한 격리로 인해 간섭이 발생하고, 궤환 간섭 경로는 MIMO (multi-input multi-output) 채널로 모델링된다. 이런 궤환 간섭을 제거하기 위해 적응 신호처리 기법에 기반하여 LMS (least mean square) 간섭제거 알고리즘과 RLS (recursive least squares) 간섭제거 알고리즘을 유도한다. 모의 실험을 통해 제안된 간섭 제거 알고리즘의 수렴 특성 및 정상 상태에서의 간섭 제거 성능을 비교한다.

본 논문에서는 K 사용자 MIMO 간섭 채널을 고려하였으며, 정보와 전력을 동시에 전송하는 SWIPT 시스템을 위한 송수신기 설계 방법에 대해서 다룬다. 그리고, 정보 수신 장치와 전력 수확 장치가 같은 수신기에 존재하는 SWIPT 시스템을 고려한다. 제안하는 방식에서는 신호대 누수 잡음비 (SLNR)를 비용 함수로 사용하고, 수확 전력에 대한 임계값을 만족하도록 송수신기를 설계한다. 즉, 수확 전력에 대한 제약 조건 하에서, SLNR을 최대화시키도록 송신단 프리코딩 벡터, 수신단 검파기 벡터, 전력 분배 상수를 동시에 설계한다. 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통하여, 제안하는 기법과 기존 기법의 신호 대 간섭 잡음비 (SINR) 성능을 비교하였다. 사용자 수, 송신 안테나 개수, 수신 안테나 개수 간의 특별한 제약 조건을 만족하는 경우, 제안하는 기법은 낮은 SNR에서 기존 기법보다 우수한 SINR 성능을 나타낸다는 것을 보였다. 또한, 특별한 제약 조건을 만족하지 못하는 경우에는, 제안 기법이 모든 SNR 범위에 대해서 기존 기법보다 더 우수한 성능을 나타낸다는 것을 보였다.

Full Dimension multiple input multiple output (FD-MIMO) architecture employs a planar array design at the Base Station (BS) to provide high order multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) via simultaneous data transmission to large number of users. With FD-MIMO, the BS can also adjust the beam direction in both elevation and azimuth direction to concentrate the energy on the user of interests while minimizing the interference leakage to co-scheduled users in the same cell or users in the neighboring cells. In a typical highly populated macrocell environment, modelling the elevation angular characteristics of three-dimensional (3D) channel is critical to understanding the performance limits of the FD-MIMO system. In this paper, we study the throughput performance of FD-MIMO system with varying elevation angular spread and inter-element spacing using a 3D spatial channel model. Our results show that for a typical urban scenario, horizontal beamforming with correlated antenna spacing achieves optimal performance but by restricting the spread of elevation angles of departure, elevation beamforming achieves high array gain with wide inter-element spacing. We also realize significant gains due to spatial array processing via modelling the elevation domain and varying the inter-element spacing for both the transmitter and receiver.

In massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, linear channel estimation algorithms are widely applied owing to their simple structures. However, they may cause pilot contamination, which affects the subsequent data detection performance. Therefore, herein, for an uplink multicell massive multiuser MIMO system, we consider using an alternating projection (AP) for channel estimation to eliminate the effect of pilot contamination and improve the performance of data detection in terms of the bit error rates as well. Even though the AP is nonlinear, it iteratively searches the best solution in only one dimension, and the computational complexity is thus modest. We have analyzed the mean square error with respect to the signal-to-interference ratios for both the cooperative and non-cooperative multicell scenarios. From the simulation results, we observed that the channel estimation results via the AP benefit the following signal detection more than that via the least squares for both the cooperative and non-cooperative multicell scenarios.
