The paucity of pilot signals in Massive MIMO system is a vital issue. To accommodate substantial number of users, pilot signals are reused. This leads to interference, resulting in pilot contamination and degrades channel estimation at the Base Station (BS). Hence, mitigation of pilot contamination is exigency in Massive MIMO system. The proposed Time Shifted Pilot Signal Transmission with Pilot signal Hopping (TSPTPH), addresses the pilot contamination issue by transmitting pilot signals in non-overlapping time interval with hopping of pilot signals in each transmission slot. Hopping is carried by switching user to new a pilot signal in each transmission slot, resulting in random change of interfering users. This contributes to the change in channel coefficient, which leads to improved channel estimation at the BS and therefore enhances the efficiency of Massive MIMO system. In this system, Uplink Signal Power to Interference plus Noise Power Ratio (SINR) and data-rate are calculated for pilot signal reuse factor 1 and 3, by estimating the channel with Least Square estimation. The proposed system also reduces the uplink Signal power for data transmission of each User Equipment for normalized spectral efficiency with rising number of antennas at the BS and thus improves battery life.

MIMO systems utilizing multiple antenna transmission and reception is one of the key technologies to enhance the capacity of 5G wireless communications. In order to obtain an appropriate performance evaluation of MIMO techniques, the usage of wireless channel model reflecting spatial channel characteristics is required, such as the 3-dimensional spatial channel model(3D SCM) proposed by 3GPP TR36.873 documentation. In this paper, we implement and verify the channel simulation environment based on 3D SCM, to present and compare the characteristics of UMi and UMa environments. We also apply MIMO transmission to the UMa scenario to investigate the channel correlation among antenna elements with different array distances and to identify the corresponding throughput changes. By evaluating the channel power correlations for randomly distributed users within the sector for different horizontal and vertical antenna distances, we present the statistical characteristics which determine the transmission performance under the SCM environment.

Since FDD massive MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) system deploys hundreds of transmit antennas at base station (BS) compared to conventional MIMO system, the overhead of transmitting channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) increases proportionally to the number of transmit-antennas. To overcome these disadvantages, we proposed beamforming based CSI-RS transmission technique for FDD massive MIMO system which transmit CSI-RS by limited amount of downlink resources.

MIMO(multi-input multi output) 기법은 여러 개의 안테나를 이용하여 채널의 다이버시티를 증가시켜 주파수 대역폭의 확장 없이 채널 용량을 증가시키는 기법이다. 그러나 MIMO 기법은 수신단의 복잡도가 높으며, 심볼간의 간섭 및 다중 경로 채널에 취약하다. 이런 MIMO 기법의 단점을 상호 보완 부호를 적용하여 극복함으로써 수신 SNR 성능을 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다. 상호 보완 부호를 MIMO 기법에 적용하면, 수신단에서 상관관계를 이용하여 심볼 간의 간섭을 완벽하게 제거할 수 있으며 다중 경로 채널에서도 강인한 장점이 있다. 제안된 알고리듬은 각각 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션으로 검증하였다.

In the control system analysis and synthesis, the nonminimum phase system has some difficulties due to the undershoot behaviour and the constrained sensitivity function. SISO problems has been widely investigated in the literatures, and it is well known that the undershoot cannot be eliminated by any linear feedback control. However, the undershoot compensation in MIMO system is less studied, and this paper is to deal with the zero property and the nonminimum phase behaviour of the MIMO system. Firstly, some definitions of the zeros will be introduced. Second, some systems including nonminimum phase transmission zeros are exemplified to show that the undershoot behaviour could be eliminated by a linear feedback in MIMO systems.

This paper proposes an adaptive combined scalable video coding (CSVC) system for video transmission over MIMO-OFDM (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) broadband wireless communication systems. The scalable combination method of CSVC adaptively combines the medium grain scalable (MGS), the coarse grain scalable (CGS) and the scalable spatial modes with the limited feedback partially from channel state information (CSI) of MIMO-OFDM systems. The objective is to improve the average of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and bit error rate (BER) of the received video stream by exploiting partial CSI of video sources and channel condition. Experimental results show that the delivered quality using the proposed adaptive CSVC over MIMO-OFDM system performs better than those proposed previously in the literature.

In this letter, an MMSE based continuous turbo equalizer is proposed for MIMO-HARQ systems. In the proposed scheme, the soft information from the reception process for the previous transmission is reutilized at the initialization of the reception process for the next transmission to enhance the decoding convergence speed. Simulation results verify that the proposed scheme achieves an improved BLER with a significantly accelerated decoding convergence speed.

In this paper, we investigate two types of in-phase and quadrature-phase (IQ) data transfer methods for cloud multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) network operation. They are termed "after-precoding" and "before-precoding". We formulate a cloud massive MIMO operation problem that aims at selecting the best IQ data transfer method and transmission strategy (beamforming technique, the number of concurrently receiving users, the number of used antennas for transmission) to maximize the ergodic sum-rate under a limited capacity of the digital unit-radio unit link. Based on our proposed solution, the optimal numbers of users and antennas are simultaneously chosen. Numerical results confirm that the sum-rate gain is greater when adaptive "after/before-precoding" method is available than when only conventional "after-precoding" IQ-data transfer is available.

In this paper, we propose a MIMO-OFDMA (Multi Input Multi Output-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) system based on Grassmannian beamforming for performance improvement of downlink real-time traffic transmission in harsh channel conditions with low CIR (Carrier-to-Interference Ratio). In the proposed system to reduce feedback information for the beamforming, we also apply Grassmannian Beamforming. Furthermore, we propose antenna selection scheme which performs the beamforming with more useful transmit antennas. In the proposed system, the optimal combination of transmit antennas with maximum MRT (Maximum Ratio Transmission) beamforming gain, is selected. Simulation results reveal that the proposed MIMO-OFDMA system achieves significant improvement of spectral efficiency in low CIR region as compared to a typical open-loop MIMO-OFDMA system using pseudo-orthogonal space time block code.

A high-performance time-division multiplexing (TDM) -based multiuser (MU) multiple-input multipleoutput (MIMO) system for efficient indoor visible-light communication (VLC) is presented. In this work, a MIMO technique based on RGB light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with selection combining (SC) is utilized for data transmission. That is, the proposed scheme employs RGB LEDs for parallel transmission of user data and transmits MU data in predefined slots of a time frame with a simple and efficient design, to schedule the transmission times for multiple users. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme offers an approximately 6 dB gain in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at a bit error rate (BER) of $3{\times}10^{-5}$, as compared to conventional MU single-input single-output (SISO) systems. Moreover, a data rate of 66.7 Mbps/user at a BER of $10^{-3}$ is achieved for 10 users in indoor VLC environments.
