This paper considers a channel estimation scheme for millimeter-wave multiuser multiple-input multiple-output systems. According to the proposed method, parts of the beams are selected and the channel parameters are estimated according to the sparsity of channels and the orthogonality of the beams. Since the beams for each channel become distinct and the signal power increases with the increased number of antennas, the proposed approach is able to achieve good estimation performance. As a result, the sum rate can be increased in comparison with traditional approaches, and channels can be estimated with fewer pilot symbols. Numerical results verify that the proposed approach outperforms traditional approaches in cases with large numbers of antennas.

본 논문에서는, 적응 간섭 제거기(AIC : adaptive interference canceller)에 사용되는 적응 알고리즘 중 계산량이 적고, 하드웨어적 복잡성이 낮은 최소 평균 자승(LMS)알고리즘의 적응화 상수(constant step size)를 여러 개 사용하여 빠른 수렴 속도와 낮은 평균 자승 에러를 가지는 방법을 제안한다. 최소 평균 자승 알고리즘에서 적응화 상수는 수렴속도와 평균 자승 에러를 제거하는데, 적응화 상수가 증가할수록 수렴속도가 빨라지는 반면, 평균 자승 에러는 증가하게 된다. 이 논문에서는 수렴속도를 증가하는 동시에 평균 자승 에러를 줄이기 위해, 최소 평균 자승 알고리즘에서 세 개의 적응화 상수를 가지는 새로운 검출기를 제안한다. 이 구조에서, 매 반복횟수에 따른 각 그룹 출력 값들을 가지고, 선택(selection)부분에서 평균 자승 에러들을 비교하며, 가장 작은 평균 자승 에러를 나타내는 그룹의 에러 값과 필터 계수 값들이 선택되어져 여러 적응화 상수 최소 평균 자승 알고리즘(several step size LMS algorithm)부분에서 각 그룹의 필터 계수를 갱신하는데 필요한 정보로 이용된다.

In this paper, perfodrmance of matched-filter (MF) acquisition scheme is analyzed for a direct-sequence/code-division-multiple-access (DS/CDMA) system in a microcellular environment. Mean acquistion time is used as a performance measure. It is demonstrated that acquisition performance is enhanced using interference suppression filter in a Rician fading channel. To apply for multiuser environments, multiple access interference is considered in the performance analysis. From the numerical results, it is shown that mean acquistion time decreases with the increasing SNR/chip, and acquisition performance is improved as the number of taps of interference suppression filter. It is also shown that mean acquisition time increases with the number of users in the system, and acquistion performance is degraded as the icrease of narrowband interference bandwidth. The analysis in this paper can be applied to a DS/CDMA overlay environment.

We present a multiuser synchronization scheme for OFDMA uplink systems. First a new preamble structure is proposed by which timing and frequency offsets estimation is developed. Based on proposed structure a new joint synchronization scheme is presented and the simulation results show that the performance of this scheme don't suffer from the number of users.

For multi-cell environments, coordinated random beamforming technique in multiuser MIMO(multiple-input multiple-output) broadcast channel is considered. In order to mitigate severe interference at receivers, the multi-cell environments might require complex transmitter and receiver design because the scheduler decision based on full channel state information (CSI) in one cell must be intertwined with decision made by other cells' CSI. With limited CSI, however, this paper considers a scheme of randomizing transmitters' beamforming but being coordinated with other cell transmitters. The transmitters in each cell share random beamforming patterns and schedule data transmission within coherent scheduling period. The corandomized beams allow the users to be selected with the highest SINRs even in multi-cell environments. We analyze the performance of the proposed scheme. And numerical results show that the scheme achieves better performance than the conventional random beamforming when applying to multi-cell environments.

동일 그룹에 속하는 사용자들의 신호 크기가 다른 경우에 대하여 혼합형 다중 사용자 간섭제거 기법에 대한 성능 분석을 하였다. 이를 바탕으로, 기존의 혼합형 간섭제거 기법은 전력 제어를 하지 않거나 전력 제어가 완벽하지 않은 상황에서, 동일 그룹에 속하는 사용자들의 신호 크기 차이가 크게 날 경우, 사용자들의 큰 신호 크기 차이로 인해 전체적인 성능이 떨어지게 됨을 보였다. 이 논문에서 제안한 기법은 신호의 크기를 고려하여 그룹화 알고리즘을 적용하도록 함으로써, 그룹에 속하는 사용자들의 신호 크기 차이가 적도록 그룹을 형성함으로써 혼합형 간섭제거 기법의 성능을 개선하였다. 그룹의 수가 같은 경우 제안된 기법과 기존의 기법의 성능을 비트 오류율을 지표로 하여 성능이 개선됨을 확인하였다.

This paper studies the uplink resource allocation for multiple radio access (MRA) in reconfigurable radio systems, where multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) multicarrier-code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) and MIMO orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) networks coexist. By assuming multi-radio user equipment with network-guided operation, the optimal resource allocation for MRA is analyzed as a cross-layer optimization framework with and without fairness consideration to maximize the uplink sum-rate capacity. Numerical results reveal that parallel MRA, which uses MC-CDMA and OFDMA networks concurrently, outperforms the performance of each MC-CDMA and OFDMA network by exploiting the multiuser selection diversity.

In this paper, we propose two novel user selection algorithms for multiuser multiple-input and multiple-output downlink wireless systems, in which both a base station (BS) and mobile stations (MSs) are equipped with multiple antennas. Linear transmit beamforming at the BS and receive combining at the MSs are used to avoid interference between users and find a better sum-rate capacity performance. An optimal technique for selecting users would entail an exhaustive search, which in practice becomes computationally complex for a realistic number of users. Suboptimal algorithms with low complexity are proposed for a coordinated beamforming scheme. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed algorithms is better than that provided by previous algorithms and is very close to an optimal approach with reduced complexity.

We consider a power controlled code division multiple access (CDMA) system with multiple flow types. At each of the N nodes, there are F flow types with different signal-to-interference-and-noise-ratio (SINR) requirements. To keep the complexity of the transmitter low, we assume that each node uses the same power level for all its flows. The single flow case has been fully solved and is well-understood. We concentrate on the multiple flow case, and use a novel and different approach. For the uplink problem with N = 2 and F arbitrary, the necessary and sufficient conditions to have a solution are found and proved. For the general N > 1 uplink problem, we provide a necessary condition for the problem to have a solution and an iterative algorithm to find the optimum solution. For the downlink case with F > 1 some properties of the optimal sequences are obtained.

Cooperative diversity is a novel technique to improve diversity gains, capacity gains, and energy saving. This technique involves multiple terminals sharing resources in order to build a virtual antenna array in a distributed fashion. In this paper, we propose a multi-user cooperative diversity protocol called Relay-assisted Multiple Access Channel(R-MAC) that allows multiple source terminals to transmit their signals simultaneously and the relay terminal forwards the aggregated signal received from the source terminals to the destination terminal. The proposed protocol converts the distributed antenna channels into an effective MIMO channel by exploiting a relay, increasing both diversity gain and system throughput. We investigate the performance of the proposed protocol in terms of outage probability and diversity-multiplexing tradeoff where we assume block fading channel environment. Our simulation results show that the proposed protocol outperforms direct transmission in the high spectral efficiency regime where the conventional cooperative diversity protocols cannot outperform direct transmission.
