In this paper, we consider a relaying system which employs a single relay in a wireless network with distributed sources and destinations. Here, all source, destination, and relay nodes are equipped with multiple antennas. For amplify-and-forward relay systems, we confirm the achievable sum rate through a joint multiple source precoders and a single relay filter design. To this end, we propose a new linear processing scheme in terms of maximizing the sum rate performance by applying a blockwise relaying method combined with geometric programming techniques. By allowing the global channel knowledge at the source nodes, we show that this joint design problem is formulated as a standard geometric program, which can guarantees a global optimal value under the modified sum rate criterion. Simulation results show that the proposed blockwise relaying scheme with the joint power allocation method provides substantial sum rate gain compared to the conventional schemes.

Lattice-reduction (LR) techniques have been developed for signal detection in spatial multiplexing multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems to obtain the largest diversity gain. Thus, an LR-assisted zero-forcing (ZF) receiver can achieve the maximum diversity gain in spatial multiplexing MIMO systems. In this paper, a simplified analysis of the achievable diversity gain is presented by fitting the channel coefficients lattice-reduced by a complex Lenstra-Lenstra-$Lov{\acute{a}}z$ (LLL) algorithm into approximated Gaussian random variables. It will be shown that the maximum diversity gain corresponding to two times the number of receive antennas can be achieved by the LR-based ZF detector. In addition, the approximated bit error rate (BER) expression is also derived. Finally, the analytical BER performance is comparatively studied with the simulated results.

In existing literature on multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relaying communication systems, antenna selection is often implemented by maximizing the channel capacity or the output single-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient low-complexity antenna selection scheme for MIMO relaying communication systems. The proposed algorithm is based on beamforming and maximizing the Frobenius norm to jointly optimize the transmit power, number of active antennas, and antenna subsets at the source, relaying and destination. We maximize the energy efficiency between the link of source to relay and the link of relay to destination to obtain the maximum energy efficiency of the system, subject to the SNR constraint. Compared to existing antenna selection methods forMIMO relaying communication systems, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method can save more power in term of energy efficiency, while having lower 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.

Cooperative communications using relays in wireless networks have similar effects of multiple-input and multiple-output without the need of multiple antennas at each node. To implement cooperation into a system, efficient protocols are desired. In IEEE 802.11 families such as a/b/g, mobile stations can automatically adjust transmission rates according to channel conditions. However throughput performance degradation is observed by low-rate stations in multi-rate circumstances resulting in so-called performance anomaly. In this paper, we propose active relay-based cooperative medium access control (AR-CMAC) protocol, in which active relays desiring to transmit their own data for cooperation participate in relaying, and it is designed to increase throughput as a solution to performance anomaly. We have analyzed the performance of the simplified AR-CMAC using an embedded Markov chain model to demonstrate the gain of AR-CMAC and to verify it with our simulations. Simulations in an infrastructure network with an IEEE 802.11b/g access point show noticeable improvement than the legacy schemes.

The paper analyzes the sum spectral efficiency (SE) for a heterogeneous cellular network (HetNet) which has the backhaul, provided with wireless full-duplex massive multiple-input multiple-out (MIMO) with hardware distortions. We derive approximate expressions to obtain the uplink/downlink sum SE of the backhaul. The analytic results have been shown to be exact when compared to Monte Carlo simulations. From the analysis, it is shown that the desired signal and the hardware distortion noise have the same order. The sum SE generally improves when the number of receive antennas increases but degrades when the hardware quality reduces. A sum SE performance ceiling is introduced by the hardware quality level.

차세대 무선 통신 시스템은 현재보다 고속의 데이터 전송과 매우 큰 시스템 용량을 요구하며, 이와 같은 요구를 충족시키기 위해서 복수의 안테나를 사용하여 송수신을 하는 MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output) 기술이 널리 연구되고 있다. 이 논문은 하나의 송신기에서 복수의 수신기에게 각각 복수의 데이터 스트림을 동시에 전송하면서 동적 슬롯할당을 이용하여 성능을 향상시키는 동적 슬롯할당 공간분할 다중접속 MIMO 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 기술은 빔포밍 차원의 감소로 인한 성능 감소를 최소화하면서 다른 MIMO 기술보다 많은 수의 병렬 데이터를 전송할 수 있게 함으로써 시스템 용량을 크게 증가시키는 것이 가능하다.

This paper describes specular reflectance measurements of dielectric plates in three waveguide frequency bands: D-band (110-170 GHz), G-band (140-220 GHz), and J-band (220-325 GHz). The transmit (Tx) part of the proposed specular reflectance measurement system is stationary, while the receive (Rx) part and the material under test (MUT) holder are concentric-rotating with a 2:1 speed ratio for specular reflectance measurements. In specular reflectance measurements, the first step measures the specular reflection coefficients of an MUT and a metal plate on the MUT holder located at the center of the Tx and Rx parts, and the second step calculates the specular reflectance defined by the specular reflection power (i.e., intensity) of the MUT normalized to that of the metal plate. Multiple reflection effects between the Tx and Rx antennas and the MUT on the measured specular reflectance are minimized by averaging out the multiple specular reflectances measured with changing the separation distance between the two antennas by ${\lambda}/8$ intervals. Measurement results of the perpendicular-polarized specular reflectance of commonly used dielectric plates are verified by comparing those with the analytic results and show that the results measured over the overlapped frequency range of the D-/G-bands and at the boundary frequency of the G-/J-bands agree well with the results for the other band, respectively.

본 논문에서는 2PAM(binary pulse-antipodal modulation) DS(direct-sequence) UWB(ultra-wideband) 시스템을 V-BLAST(vertical bell lab layered space-time) 구조를 사용하는 MIMO(multiple input multiple output) 시스템에 적용하여 실내 무선 채널 환경에서 고속 데이터 전송률을 달성하고자 한다. 이러한 2PAM DS UWB MIMO 시스템의 BER 성능과 송수신 안테나의 차원과의 관계가 논의된다. 또한, UWB-MIMO 시스템의 수신기에서는 ZF(zero-forcing), ZF-OSIC(ordered successive interference cancellation), MMSE(minimum-mean-square-error), MMSE-OSIC, ML(maximum likelihood)과 같은 다양한 MIMO(multiple input multiple output)와 같은 다양한 MIMO 검출기법이 비교, 분석된다.

무선 네트워크의 물리계층에서 이용하는 무선 전송매체는 전송 범위내의 모든 이웃 노드들이 동시에 전송 신호를 수신할 수 있는 브로드캐스트 전파 특성을 갖는다. 기존의 비동기 무선 MAC 프로토콜들은 신뢰성 있는 브로드캐스트에 대한 구제적인 해결 방안을 고려하지 않고 있다. 무지향성 브로드캐스트가 과다한 채널 경쟁과 충돌을 발생시켜 네트워크의 성능 저하를 야기하기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 링크계층에서 지향성 안테나를 이용하여 지향성 브로드캐스트를 지원하는 MDB(MAC protocol for Directional Broadcast) 프로토콜을 제안한다. MDB 프로토콜은 DAST(Directional Antennas Statement Table) 정보와 4-way 핸드셰이크에 의한 D-MACA(Directional Multiple Access Collision Avoidance) 구조를 기반으로 Hidden Terminal 문제와 Deafness 문제를 해결한다. 성능 평가를 위해 MDB 프로토콜과 기존의 IEEE 802.11 DCF(Distributed Coordination Function) 프로토콜[9]와 참고문헌 [3]의 프로토콜 2를 비교대상으로 브로드캐스트로 인한 충돌 발생률과 브로드캐스트 완료율 관점에서 성능을 분석하였다. 성능 분석 결과는 네트워크 밀도가 높을수록 MDB 프로토콜이 기존의 프로토콜보다 높은 브로드캐스트 완료율과 낮은 충돌 발생률을 보였다.
