Multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) systems are considered to improve the capacity and reliability of next generation mobile communication. However, the multiple RF chains associated with multiple antennas are costly in terms of size, power and hardware. Antenna selection is a low-cost low-complexity alternative to capture many of the advantages of MIMO systems. We proposed new joint Tx/Rx antenna selection algorithm with low complexity. The proposed algorithm is a method selects $L_R{\times}L_T$ channel matrix out of $L_R{\times}L_T$ entire channel gain matrix where $L_R{\times}L_T$ matrix selects alternate Tx antenna with Rx antenna which have the largest channel gain to maximize Frobenius norm. The feature of this algorithm is very low complexity compare with Exhaustive search which have optimum capacity. In case of $4{\times}4$ antennas selection out of $8{\times}8$ antennas, the capacity decreases $0.5{\sim}2dB$ but the complexity also decreases about 1/10,000 than optimum exhaustive search.

We consider three different secure broadcasting scenarios: i) Broadcast channels with common and confidential messages (BCC), ii) multi-receiver wiretap channels with public and confidential messages, and iii) compound wiretap channels. The BCC is a broadcast channel with two users, where in addition to the common message sent to both users, a private message, which needs to be kept hidden as much as possible from the other user, is sent to each user. In this model, each user treats the other user as an eavesdropper. The multi-receiver wiretap channel is a broadcast channel with two legitimate users and an external eavesdropper, where the transmitter sends a pair of public and confidential messages to each legitimate user. Although there is no secrecy concern about the public messages, the confidential messages need to be kept perfectly secret from the eavesdropper. The compound wiretap channel is a compound broadcast channel with a group of legitimate users and a group of eavesdroppers. In this model, the transmitter sends a common confidential message to the legitimate users, and this confidential message needs to be kept perfectly secret from all eavesdroppers. In this paper, we provide a survey of the existing information-theoretic results for these three forms of secure broadcasting problems, with a closer look at the Gaussian multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel models. We also present the existing results for the more general discrete memoryless channel models, as they are often the first step in obtaining the capacity results for the corresponding Gaussian MIMO channel models.

3GPP LTE-Advanced systems adopt multiple antennas for high speed data transmission. In general, the receiver complexity of a spatially mutiplexed (SM) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system grows in proportion to the number of candidate vectors. A large number of candidate vectors increases the reliability of the soft output values. The maximum likelihood (ML) signal detection with a large number of candidate vectors achieves high performance. On the other hand, low complexity receiver techniques with a small number of candidate vectors provide soft output values, such as low reliability. This paper addresses the improving reliability of the soft output obtained from a small number of candidate vectors. The improved performance of the proposed technique with the aid of computer simulations is reported.

We propose a simple power allocation scheme for an amplify-and-forward multiple relay system with multiple-input multiple-output antennas. Unlike the existing relay precoding matrix with full elements, proposed precoder is a diagonal matrix whose diagonal element is the relay gain for each stream. Furthermore, a weight vector is applied to streams, such that the mutual information of the system approaches that of the exhaustive search scheme, regardless of the number of antennas. Numerical results show that proposed scheme outperforms the conventional schemes with respect to mutual information.

Directional sensor networks (DSNs) can significantly improve the performance of a network by employing energy efficient communication protocols. Neighbor discovery is a vital part of medium access control (MAC) and routing protocol, which influences the establishment of communication between neighboring nodes. Neighbor discovery is a challenging task in DSNs due to the limited coverage provided by directional antennas. Furthermore, in these networks, communication can only take place when the beams of the directional antennas are pointed toward each other. In this article, we propose a novel multiple token-based neighbor discovery (MuND) protocol, in which multiple tokens are transmitted based on an area exploration algorithm. The performance of the protocol is evaluated using the Cooja simulator. The simulation results reveal that the proposed MuND protocol achieves lower neighbor discovery latency, with a 100% neighbor discovery ratio, and has a relatively low communication overhead and low energy consumption.

In this study, a space-time transmission scheme is proposed to tackle the limitations of channel estimation with orthogonal pilot information in colocated multiple-input multiple-output systems with several transmitting and receiving antennas. Channel information is obtained using orthogonal pilots. Channel estimation introduces pilot heads required to estimate a channel. This leads to bandwidth insufficiency. As a result, trade-offs exist between the number of pilots required to estimate a channel versus spectral efficiency. The detection of data symbols is performed using the maximum likelihood decoding method as it provides a consistent approach to parameter estimation problems. The moment-generating function of the instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio is used to drive an approximate expression of the symbol error rate for the proposed scheme. Furthermore, the order of diversity is less by one than the number of receiver antennas used in the proposed scheme. The effect of the length of a pilot sequence on the proposed scheme's performance is also investigated.

The diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) functions of three special half-duplex (HD) dynamic decode-and-forward (DDF) protocols with multiple antennas only at the source node, only at the destination node, and only at the relay node are analytically derived. The DMT functions of these three relay protocols are compared with one another and with those of the nonorthogonal amplify and forward (NAF) protocols.

In this paper, a transmitter-based multipath processing and inter-channel interference (ICI) cancellation scheme for a ultra-wideband (UWB) spatial multiplexing (SM) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system is presented. It consists of taps delayed lines and zero-forcing (ZF) filters in the transmitter and correlators in the receiver. For a UWB SM MIMO system with N transmit antennas, M receive antennas, and Q resolvable multipath components, the BER performance of a linear transmit ZF scheme is analyzed in a log-normal fading channel and also compared with that of a receiver-based ICI rejection approach. It is found that when M ${\leq}$ N, the transmit ZF processing approach outperforms the ZF receiver while making the mobile units low-cost and low-power.

In this paper, a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) hybrid-automatic repeat request (HARQ) algorithm with antenna scheduling is proposed. It retransmits the packet using scheduled transmit antennas according to the state of the communication link, instead of retransmitting the packet via the same antennas. As a result, a combination of conventional HARQ systems, viz. chase combining (CC) and incremental redundancy (IR) are used to achieve better performance and lower redundancy. The proposed MIMO-OFDM HARQ system with antenna scheduling is shown to be superior to conventional MIMO HARQ systems, due to its spatial diversity gain.
