We consider multiple-input multiple-output decode-and-forward relay systems in Rayleigh fading channels under the partial channel state information (CSI) that the channel statistics of the source-relay (SR) link and the instantaneous CSI of the source-destination and relay-destination links are known at the destination. In this paper, we propose a new near maximum likelihood (near-ML) decoder with two-level pairwise error probability (near-ML-2PEP) which uses the average PEP instead of the exact PEP. Then, we theoretically prove that the near-ML and near-ML-2PEP decoders achieve the maximum diversity, which is confirmed by Monte Carlo simulations. Moreover, we show that the near-ML-2PEP decoder can also achieve the maximum diversity by substituting the average PEP with the values that represent the error performance of the SR link.

Herein, a new space-time block coding technique is proposed for a MIMO 2 × 2 multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) system to minimize the bit error rate (BER) in Rayleigh fading channels with reduced decoding complexity using ZF and MMSE linear detection techniques. The main objective is to improve the service quality of wireless communication systems and optimize the number of antennas used in base stations and terminals. The idea is to exploit the correlation product technique between both information symbols to transmit per space-time block code and their own orthogonal Walsh-Hadamard sequences to ensure orthogonality between both symbol vectors and create a full-rate orthogonal STBC code. Using 16 quadrature amplitude modulation and the quasi-static Rayleigh channel model in the MATLAB environment, the simulation results show that the proposed space-time block code performs better than the Alamouti code in terms of BER performance in the 2 × 2 MIMO system for both cases of linear decoding ZF and MMSE.

This paper proposes a fast-processing and low-cost hardware multiple input multiple output (MIMO) channel emulator. The channel emulator is an important component of hardware-based simulation systems. The novelty of this work is the use of sharing and pipelining functions to reduce hardware resource utilization while maintaining a high sample rate. In our proposed emulator, the samples are created sequentially and interpolated to ensure the sample rate is equal to the base band rate. The proposed 4 × 4 MIMO requires low-cost hardware resource so that it can be implemented on a single field-programmable gate array (FPGA) chip. An implementation on Xilinx Virtex-7 VX980T was found to occupy 10.47% of the available configurable slice registers and 12.58% of the FPGA's slice lookup tables. The maximum frequency of the proposed emulator is 758.064 MHz, so up to 560 different paths can be processed simultaneously to generate 560 × 758 million × 2 × 32 bit complex-valued fading samples per second.

Wireless mobile communication systems in subway tunnels have been widely researched these years, due to increased demand for the communication applications. As a result, an accurate model is essential to effectively evaluate the communication system performance. Thus, a neoteric three-dimensional (3D) geometry-based stochastic model (GBSM) is proposed for the massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) fading channels in tunnel environment. Furthermore, the statistical properties of the channel such as space-time correlation, amplitude and phase probability density are analyzed and compared with those of the traditional two-dimensional (2D) model by numerical simulations. Finally, the ergodic capacity is investigated based on the proposed model. Numerical results show that the proposed model can describe the channel in tunnels more practically.

With the advent of the fifth-generation (5G) era, Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relay systems have experienced the rapid development. Recently, the performance analysis models of Massive MIMO relay systems have been proposed, which are mostly based on Rayleigh fading channels. In order to create a more suitable model for 5G Internet of Things scenarios, our study is based on the Rician fading channels, where line-of-sight (LOS) path exists in the channels. In this paper, we assume the channel state information (CSI) is perfect. In this case, we use statistical information to derive the analytical exact closed-form expression for the achievable sum rate of the uplink for the Massive MIMO two-hop relay system over Rician fading channels. Moreover, considering the different communication scenarios, we derive the analytical exact closed-form expression for the achievable sum rates of the uplink for other three scenarios. Finally, based on these expressions, we make simulations and analyze the performance under different transmit powers and Rician-factors, which provides a theoretical basis and reference for further research.

고속데이터 전송이 요구되는 경우, OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)은 다중경로에 의해 발생되는 주파수 선택성 페이딩에 쉽게 대처할 수 있다는 장점 때문에 다양한 고속 무선 통신 시스템에 채택되어왔다. 본 논문에서는 최적의 적응 비트로딩 알고리즘을 제안하고, 이를 확인하기 위해 SISO(Single Input Single Output)-OFDM 시스템에 이 알고리즘을 적용하고 고정 변조를 사용하는 SISO-OFDM과 비교 분석 하였다. 특히 다중 경로페이딩 채널에서 채널을 알고 있는 경우, MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output) 시스템의 적응 비트로딩을 시험하기 위해, 특이치 분해(SVD : Singular Value Decomposition)를 사용하여 MIMO 채널을 SISO 채널로 병렬 분해하여, 제안한 적응비트로딩 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 적응 비트로딩 MIMO-OFDM 시스템은 SISO-OFDM 시스템 보다 BER 성능이 우수함을 확인하였다.

The analysis of maximum diversity order and coding gain for multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems over time-and frequency-selective (or doubly-selective) channels is addressed in this paper. A novel channel time-space correlation function is developed given the spatially correlated doubly-selective Rayleigh fading channel model. Based on this channel-model assumption, the upper-bound of pairwise error probability (PEP) for MIMO-OFDM systems is derived under the maximum likelihood (ML) detection. For a certain space-frequency code, we quantify the maximum diversity order and deduce the expression of coding gain. In this wort the impact of channel time selectivity is especially studied and a new definition of time diversity is illustrated correspondingly

본 논문에서는 다중 경로 레이리 페이딩 시변 채널 환경의 Multiple Input Multiple Output-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) 시스템에서 효율적으로 채널 변화를 추적할 수 있는 채널 추적방식을 제안하였다. 제안된 방식은 시변 채널에 대응할 수 있도록 블라인드 채널 예측기를 설계하였다. 또한 주파수 영역 채널 추정이 Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) 시간영역 채널 추정과 결합되어 있으며 이 방식은 매 OFDM 심벌마다 역행렬을 계산할 필요가 없다는 장점이 있다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과 제안된 방식은 기존의 Li방식[4] 보다 성능이 우수함을 보였다. 도플러 주파수 100Hz 및 10-4 BER에서 Eb/No이득이 약 2.5 dB 정도 되었다. 도플러 주파수가 200Hz일 때 그 성능의 차이는 더욱 커졌다.

본 논문에서는 순간적인 채널 상태에 따라 K, 즉 survivor path의 개수를 적응적으로 조절하는 MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output) 검출 기법을 제안한다. 최적의 성능을 가지지만 높은 복잡도의 단점을 가지는 MLD(Maximum Likelihood Detection)의 단점을 개선하기 위해 MLD에 근접한 성능을 가지면서 복잡도는 확연히 감소시킨, 적응형 K-best SD (Sphere Decoding) 기법들이 제안되었지만, 채널 상태를 판별하기 위한 지표로, 채널의 페이딩 이득만을 이용할 뿐 순시적인 SNR(Signa1 to Noise Ratio) 값은 반영하지 못하는 단점을 가진다. 제안된 기법은 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 K를 조절하기 위한 채널 지표로 채널의 페이딩 성분뿐 아니라 SNR 성분까지 반영하는 path metric 값의 특성을 이용하여, 기존의 기법과 동일한 성능을 가지면서 낮은 복잡도를 가진다.

In this letter, we derive a tight closed-form formula for an ergodic capacity of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) for the application of wireless communications. The derived expression is a simple closed-form formula to determine the ergodic capacity of MIMO systems. Assuming the channels are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) Rayleigh flat-fading between antenna pairs, the ergodic capacity can be expressed in a closed form as the finite sum of exponential integrals.
