Performance of downlink transmission strategies exploiting cooperative transmit diversity is investigated for distributed multiple-input single-output (MISO) systems, for which geographically distributed remote antennas (RA) in a cell can either communicate with distinct mobile stations (MS) or cooperate for a common MS. Statistical characteristics in terms of the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and the achievable capacity are analyzed for both cooperative and non-cooperative transmission schemes, and the preferred mode of operation for given channel conditions is presented using the analysis result. In particular, we determine an exact amount of the maximum achievable gain in capacity when RAs for signal transmission are selected based on the instantaneous channel condition, by deriving a general expression for the SINR of such antenna selection based transmission. For important special cases of selecting a single RA for non-cooperative transmission and selecting two RAs for cooperative transmission among three RAs surrounding the MS, closed-form formulas are presented for the SINR and capacity distributions.

In multimedia communication systems, efficient transmission system design should incorporate the use of matching unequal error protection (UEP), since source coders exhibit unequal bit error sensitivity. In this paper, we present UEP schemes which exploit differences in bit error protection levels in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems over frequency selective fading channels. We introduce an UEP scheme which improves the link performance with multiple transmit and receive antennas. Especially, we propose a new receiver structure based on two stage Maximum Likelihood detection (MLD) schemes which can approach the performance of a full search MLD receiver with much reduced computational complexity. In the performance analysis, we derive a generalized pairwise error probability expression for the proposed UEP schemes. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes achieve a significant performance gain over the conventional equal error protection (EEP) scheme.

LTE (long-term evolution) Rel-10 시스템은 하향링크에서 1Gbits/s 상향링크에서 50Mbits/s 데이터 송선율을 목표로 하므로 넓은 대역폭을 사용할 뿐만 아니라 상향 및 하향탱크에서 선부호화 MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) 기법을 적용해야 한다. 최근에는 스마트 중계기의 도입으로 협력통신을 통한 용량 개선이 가능해지면서 페이딩 채널에 LoS (line-of-sight) 성분을 고려하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 라이시안 페이딩 채널의 LoS 지표인 K-factor가 증가함에 따라 기존의 코드북보다 우수한 성능을 보이는 새로운 LTE 시스템용 코드북을 제안한다. 기존 LTE 코드북의 생성 원칙을 유지하면서 코드북의 코드워드 사이의 최소 chordal distance를 최대화하는 방법을 라이시안 채널에 적용한다. LTE 하향링크의 시스템 파라미터로 링크레벨 시뮬레이터를 제작하여 기존과 동일한 사이즈로 더 우수한 성능을 보임을 증명한다.

For massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) circumstances with time division duplex (TDD) protocol, pilot contamination becomes one of main system performance bottlenecks. This paper proposes an uplink pilot sequence assignment to alleviate this problem for spatially correlated massive MIMO circumstances. Firstly, a single-cell TDD massive MIMO model with multiple terminals in the cell is established. Then a spatial correlation between two channel response vectors is established by the large-scale fading variables and the angle of arrival (AOA) span with an infinite number of base station (BS) antennas. With this spatially correlated channel model, the expression for the achievable system capacity is derived. To optimize the achievable system capacity, a problem regarding uplink pilot assignment is proposed. In view of the exponential complexity of the exhaustive search approach, a pilot assignment algorithm corresponding to the distinct channel AOA intervals is proposed to approach the optimization solution. In addition, simulation results prove that the main pilot assignment algorithm in this paper can obtain a noticeable performance gain with limited BS antennas.

In this paper, we propose a new transmit diversity technique for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems to improve the link level performance of open-loop systems. By cyclically applying a predetermined set of preceding weight vectors, artificially induced fluctuation is created to achieve additional diversity gain in flat fading channels. To design the set of the precoding vectors, we exploit the knowledge on the distribution of near optimum Preceding vectors observed in a beamforming scheme based on the rotation transformations. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed open-loop diversity scheme with an arbitrary number of transmit antennas achieves a full diversity gain with computational complexity comparable to a single-input single-output (SISO) system.

In this paper, we propose a new power loading algorithm for orthogonalized spatial multiplexing(OSM) systems over flat-fading multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels. Compared to SVD-based transmission scheme, the OSM scheme exhibits a good system performance with lower complexity and feedback overhead. To further improve the performance in OSM systems with power loading, we introduce a geometric approach on the Euclidean distance between the constellation points in the effective channel. Using this approach, we show that the optimal power loading parameters in terms of the minimum distance can be obtained. Simulation results demonstrate that our algorithm provides a 5dB gain at a bit error rate (BER) of $10^{-4}$ over that of no power loading case with both QPSK and 16-QAM. Consequently, our power loading algorithm allows us to significantly improve the system performance with one additional feedback value.

It is well known that Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems offer the promise of achieving very high spectrum efficiencies (many tens of bit/s/Hz) in a mobile environment. The gains in MIMO capacity are sensitive to the presence of spatial and temporal correlation introduced by the radio environment. In this paper, we examine how MIMO capacity is influenced by a number of factors e.g., a) temporal correlation b) various combinations of low/high spatial correlations at either end, c) combined spatial and temporal correlations. In all cases, we compare the channel capacity that would be achievable under independent fading. We investigate the behaviour of "capacity fades," examine how often the capacity experiences the fades, develop a method to determine level crossing rates and average fade durations and relate these to antenna numbers. We also evaluate the influence of channel correlation on the capacity autocorrelation and assess the fit of a Gaussian random process to the temporal capacity sequence. Finally we note that the particular spatial correlation structure of the MIMO channel is influenced by a large number of factors. For simplicity, it is desirable to use a single overall correlation measure which parameterizes the effect of correlation on capacity. We verify this single parameter concept by simulating a large number of different spatially correlated channels.
