This paper presents the coexistence issues between M-WiMAX TDD and WCDMA FDD systems. To improve the M-WiMAX system performance and to reduce the adjacent channel interference to WCDMA FDD system, transmit and receive beamforming techniques are applied in the base stations of M-WiMAX system. Furthermore, we propose an adjacent channel interference modeling methodology, which captures the effect of transmit beamforming on the adjacent channel interference. Besides, we verify the performance improvement in the uplink of WCDMA system due to the transmit beamforming in M-WiMAX downlink based on the proposed adjacent channel interference modeling methodology. We also verify the performance enhancement due to the receive beamforming in the uplink of M-WiMAX system through system level Monte Carlo simulations, considering random user position, the effect of shadowing and multi-path fading channel. Discussions on the gain of applying transmit and receive beamforming in M-WiMAX system comparing the case of SISO system are also included. Furthermore, we present the performance of cosited M-WiMAX and WCDMA systems, considering commercial deployment, additional channel filter at base stations and the effects of TxBF and RxBF.

본 논문에서는 연계 빔형성과 비연계 빔형성 방법이 동시에 가능한 하이브리드 모드 빔형성 (HMB) 방법을 제안한다. HMB는 점근적으로 합 전송 증가율에 있어서 최적의 빔형성 방법임을 증명한다. 다양한 모의 실험을 통해서 HMB는 대칭 간섭 채널 환경에서 연계 빔형성 방법과 거의 동일한 성능을 달성함을 보인다. 또한, 보다 현실적인 비대칭적 간섭 채널 환경에서는 비대칭 채널 환경에서 연계 빔형성의 전력 비효율성으로 인한 성능의 저하를 갖지만, 연계 빔형성 방법보다는 우수한 성능을 갖는다는 것을 보인다.

In the multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system, orthogonal random beamforming (ORBF) scheme is proposed to serve multiple users simultaneously in order to achieve the multi-user diversity gain. The opportunistic space-division multiple access system (OSDMA-S) scheme performs multiple weighting matrices during the training phase and chooses the best weighting matrix to be used to broadcast data during the transmitting phase. The OSDMA-S scheme works better than the original ORBF by decreasing the inter-user interference during the transmitting phase. To save more time in the training phase, a partly random multiple weighting matrices selection scheme is proposed in this paper. In our proposed scheme, the Base Station does not need to use several unitary matrices to broadcast pilot symbol. Actually, only one broadcasting operation is needed. Each subscriber generates several virtual equivalent channels with a set of pre-saved unitary matrices and the channel status information gained from the broadcasting operation. The signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR) of each beam in each virtual equivalent channel is calculated and fed back to the base station for the weighting matrix selection and multi-user scheduling. According to the theoretical analysis, the proposed scheme relatively expands the transmitting phase and reduces the interactive complexity between the Base Station and subscribers. The asymptotic analysis and the simulation results show that the proposed scheme improves the throughput performance of the multi-user MIMO system.

랜덤 빔 형성 기법은 정적인 채널에서 다중 사용자 다이버시티를 얻게 하지만, 사용자수에 따른 성능의 제약이 있다. 이를 극복하기 위해 송신단에서 다중 랜덤 빔을 형성하는 기법들이 소개되었다. 특히 코드북에 기반을 둔 랜덤 빔 형성 기법은 적은 파일럿 수로 다중 랜덤 빔을 형성한다. 그러나 그 기법은 채널특성에 따른 빔 디자인의 어려움이 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 다중 코드북을 교대로 이용하여 랜덤 빔을 형성하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 기법은 기존 기법에 비해 휠씬 용이하게 빔을 디자인하여 적은 파일럿을 이용하면서 다중 사용자 다이버시터 이득과 선택적 다이버시티 이득을 동시에 얻는다.

Beamforming techniques have been successfully utilized for traffic channels in order to solve the interference problem. However, their use for control channels has not been sufficiently investigated. In this paper, a (semi-) centralized beamforming strategy that adaptively changes beam patterns and controls the total transmit power of cells is proposed for the performance enhancement of the common channel in hierarchical cell structure (HCS) networks. In addition, some examples of its practical implementation with low complexity are presented for two-tier HCS networks consisting of macro and pico cells. The performance of the proposed scheme has been evaluated through multi-cell system-level simulations under optimistic and pessimistic interference scenarios. The cumulative distribution function of user geometry or channel quality has been used as a performance metric since in the case of common control channel the number of outage users is more important than the sum rate. Simulation results confirm that the proposed scheme provides a significant gain compared to the random beamforming scheme as well as conventional systems that do not use the proposed algorithm. Finally, the proposed scheme can be applied simultaneously to several adjacent macro and pico cells even if it is designed primarily for the pico cell within macro cells.

Identification of noose sources, their locations and strengths, has been taken great attention. The methods that can identify noise sources normally assume that noise sources are located in a free field. However, the sound in a reverberant field consists of that coming directly from the source plus sound reflected or scattered by the walls or objects in the field. In contrast to the exterior sound field. reflections are added to sound field. Therefore, we haute to consider the reverberation effect on the source identification method. The main objective of this paper is to identify noise source in the reverberant field. At fist, we try to identify noise sources in a rigid wall emc;psire using the beamforming method. In many cases of practical interest, the wall has admittance so that random reflections occur in an enclosure. In this paper, we assumed the complex reverberant field in the enclosure to be the sum of plane caves with random Incidence and magnitude. Then we try to explain effects of reverberant field at interior source identification.

This paper analyzes the nodes deployment optimization problem in energy constrained wireless sensor networks, which multi-hop cooperative beamforming (CB) based cooperative-multi-input-single-output (CMISO) transmission is adopted to reduce the energy consumption. Firstly, we establish the energy consumption models for multi-hop SISO, multi-hop DSTBC based CMISO, multi-hop CB based CMISO transmissions under random nodes deployment. Then, we minimize the energy consumption by searching the optimal nodes deployment for the three transmissions. Furthermore, numerical results present the optimal nodes deployment parameters for the three transmissions. Energy consumption of the three transmissions are compared under optimal nodes deployment, which shows that CB based CMISO transmission consumes less energy than SISO and DSTBC based CMISO transmissions. Meanwhile, under optimal nodes deployment, the superiorities of CB based CMISO transmission over SISO and DSTBC based CMISO transmissions can be more obvious when path-loss-factor becomes low.

In this paper, the sensitivity of massive antenna arrays and digital beamforming to radio frequency (RF) chain in-phase quadrature-phase (I/Q) imbalance is studied and analyzed. The analysis shows that massive antenna arrays are increasingly sensitive to such RF chain imperfections, corrupting heavily the radiation pattern and beamforming capabilities. Motivated by this, novel RF-aware digital beamforming methods are then developed for automatically suppressing the unwanted effects of the RF I/Q imbalance without separate calibration loops in all individual receiver branches. More specifically, the paper covers closed-form analysis for signal processing properties as well as the associated radiation and beamforming properties of massive antenna arrays under both systematic and random RF I/Q imbalances. All analysis and derivations in this paper assume ideal signals to be circular. The well-known minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamformer and a widely-linear (WL) extension of it, called WL-MVDR, are analyzed in detail from the RF imperfection perspective, in terms of interference attenuation and beamsteering. The optimum RF-aware WL-MVDR beamforming solution is formulated and shown to efficiently suppress the RF imperfections. Based on the obtained results, the developed solutions and in particular the RF-aware WL-MVDR method can provide efficient beamsteering and interference suppressing characteristics, despite of the imperfections in the RF circuits. This is seen critical especially in the massive antenna array context where the cost-efficiency of individual RF chains is emphasized.

본 논문에서는 두 셀 대칭적 간섭 채널 환경에서 세 가지 방식의 협력적 불규칙 빔형성 방법을 분석한다. 먼저, 기지국 선택을 통한 간단한 형태의 부분 협력 빔형성 방법은 연계적 인코딩을 적용한 불규칙 빔형성 방법과 동일한 평균 합 전송률을 갖는다는 것을 증명한다. 또한, 전송 모드 선택 방법을 적용하는 경우에 시스템의 사용자가 많을 때에 부가적인 합 전송율의 이득이 발생하는 것을 증명하였다. 모의 실험 결과를 통해서 성능에 대한 분석이 유효함과 정확성을 확인하였다.
