A multi-channel access problem based on hypergraph model in ultra-dense small cell networks is studied in this paper. Due to the hyper-dense deployment of samll cells and the low-powered equipment, cumulative interference becomes an important problem besides the direct interference. The traditional binary interference model cannot capture the complicated interference relationship. In order to overcome this shortcoming, we use the hypergraph model to describe the cumulative interference relation among small cells. We formulate the multi-channel access problem based on hypergraph as two local altruistic games. The first game aims at minimizing the protocol MAC layer interference, which requires less information exchange and can converge faster. The second game aims at minimizing the physical layer interference. It needs more information interaction and converges slower, obtaining better performance. The two modeled games are both proved to be exact potential games, which admit at least one pure Nash Equilibrium (NE). To provide information exchange and reduce convergecne time, a cloud-based centralized-distributed algorithm is designed. Simulation results show that the proposed hypergraph models are both superior to the existing binary models and show the pros and cons of the two methods in different aspects.

Block diagonalization (BD) has been proposed as a simple and effective technique in multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) broadcast channels. However, when channel state information (CSI) knowledge is limited at the transmitter, the performance of the BD may be degraded because inter-user interference cannot be completely eliminated. In this paper, we propose an efficient CSI quantization technique for BD precoded systems with limited feedback where users supported by a base station are selected by dynamic scheduling. First, we express the received signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) when multiple data streams are transmitted to the user, and derive a lower bound expression of the expected received SINR at each user. Then, based on this measure, each user determines its quantized CSI feedback information which maximizes the derived expected SINR, which comprises both the channel direction and the amplitude information. From simulations, we confirm that the proposed SINR-based channel quantization scheme achieves a significant sum rate gain over the conventional method in practical MU-MIMO systems.

This paper suggests an efficient method of protection ratio calculation and shows some calculated results applicable to frequency coordination in microwave relay system networks, and the net filter discrimination (NFD) associated with Tx spectrum mask and overall Rx filter characteristics has been examined to obtain the adjacent channel protection ratio. The protection ratio comprises several factors such as C/N of modulation scheme, noise-to-interference ratio, multiple interference allowance, fade margins of multi-path and rain attenuation, and NFD. According to computed results for 6.7 GHz, 64-QAM, and 60 km at BER $10^{-6}$, fade margin and co-channel protection ratio are 41.1 and 75.2 dB, respectively, In addition, NFD for channel bandwidth of 40 MHz reveals 28.9 dB at the first adjacent channel, which results in adjacent channel protection ratio of 46.3 dB. The proposed method provides some merits of an easy calculation, systematic extension, and applying the same concept to frequency coordination in millimeter wave relay system networks.

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.

DS-CDMA 하향링크에서는 직교확산부호에 의하여 사용자들을 구분하는데 다중경로 페이딩(multhpath fading)에 의한 다중접속간섭(MAI)과 주파수 선택적 페이딩에 의하여 확산부호의 직교성은 깨어지게 되고 시스템의 성능열화를 가져온다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 선형 채널 등화기를 사용하여 다중경로 페이딩 채널을 등화 시킴으로써 직교부호의 직교성을 복구한 후 부호-정합 필터(code-matched filter)를 통하여 데이터를 복조하는 단일사용자 수신기를 제안하였다. 기존의 연구는 주로 이상적인 채널정보를 가정하였는데 본 논문에서는 채널추정 방법으로 병렬기준전송(transmission of a parallel reference)방법인 파일럿 채널지원(pilot channel assisted)방법을 사용하였으며, 특히 채널 추정의 정확도를 높이기 위하여 사용자 신호에 주기적으로 보호심볼(guard symbol)을 삽입하였다. 성능분석결과 정확한 채널추정으로 인하여 이상적인 채널정보를 사용한 경우에 비해 성능저하가 크지 않았으며, MMSE criterion에 의한 채널등화로 기존의 수신기에 비해 특히 사용자가 많을 경우에 우수한 성능을 보임을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서 제안한 적응형 탐색 채널추정 알고리듬은 간섭신호와 유사한 기준신호를 정하기 위해 LMS 알고리듬을 수행하기 전에 병렬의 컨볼루션 연산을 수행한다. 컨볼루션 연산을 통해 출력된 신호는 채널의 지연시간과 진폭특성을 가지고 있어 간섭신호와 유사한 특성을 가진다. 또한 LMS 알고리듬 수행에 있어서 탭 계수를 갱신할 때 사용하는 추정간격 값을 고정된 값이 아닌 기울기의 부호에 따라 가변적인 값을 갖도록 하였다. 제안된 알고리듬의 성능평가는 이동통신환경과 유사한 Jake's 모델의 Rayliegh 다중경로 채널환경에서 실험하였다. 모의실험결과 기존 LMS 알고리듬은 데이터 110개를 반복 수행함으로써 약 -40 dB의 제곱오차수렴을 보였고 제안한 적응형 탐색 채널추정 알고리듬은 데이터 120개를 반복 수행함으로써 약 -80 dB의 제곱오차수렴을 보였다. 데이터의 반복연산에 따른 수렴속도는 다소 증가하였으나 오차정확도는 약 40 dB의 우수한 개선특성을 보였다.

In MC-CDMA systems effects of delay spread of the channel are reduced with increased symbol duration by simultaneously transmitting data symbols on the parallel subcarriers. However, the increased symbol duration causes the system to be more vulnerable to time selective fading. In other words, although MC-CDMA systems are robust against frequency selective fading in a multipath environment, they are sensitive to Doppler spread and hence inter-carrier interference is increased. In this paper, we investigate the effects of time selective fading characteristics of the mobile channel from the viewpoint of desired signal power to inter-carrier interference power ratio at the combiner output of the MC-CDMA receiver.

Power control is a key technique in spectrum underlay cognitive network to guarantee the interference temperature limit of the primary users (PUs) and the quality of service of the secondary users (SUs). In this paper, a robust power control scheme via link gain pricing with $H_{\infty}$ estimator is proposed. The scheme guarantees the interference temperature of the PUs through operating in the network-centric manner, and keeps the fairness between the SUs through link gain pricing. Furthermore, the $H_{\infty}$ filter is also used in the proposed scheme to estimate the channel variation, and thus the power control scheme is robust to the severe channel fading. Plenty of simulations are taken, and prove its superior robust performance against the channel fading, and its effectiveness in guaranteeing the interference temperature limit of the PUs.

This paper addresses an in-depth analysis of the stratosphere-to-Earth co-channel interference produced by high-altitude platforms (HAPs) and proposes a new methodology for the evaluation of its impact to terrestrial systems in terms of fractional degradation in performance, taking into account parameters such as HAP's mobility, realistic distribution of azimuth and elevation angles of the terrestrial microwave links (TMLs), and gradual high-altitude platform network (HAPN) loading. Simulations performed for different HAPN configurations, prove that the implementation of the methodology proposed, may lead to a more efficient use of the spectrum shared between the two services.
