One possible architecture to reduce the number of RF chains is hybrid beamforming in which the overall beamformer consists of a concatenation of an analog RF beamformer implemented using phase shifters (PSs) and a low-dimensional baseband digital beamformer. However, conventional hybrid beamforming designs require high-resolution PSs, which are expensive. In this paper, we consider transceiver design for maximizing the spectral efficiency of a large-scale MIMO system with hybrid beamforming architecture where only finite-resolution PSs are available at both ends. We propose a heuristic transceiver design for the critical case where the number of RF chains is equal to the number of data streams. We show that the proposed hybrid beamforming design can achieve a rate close to that of optimal exhaustive search. We also suggest how to generalize the algorithm for the setting where the number of RF chains exceeds the number of data streams. We show that the generalized algorithm can use the extra RF chains to significantly improve the system performance in the case of low-resolution PSs.","PeriodicalId":211324,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124805863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Distributed encoders observe the individual components of the multiterminal sources and attempt to describe them to a central decoder. Instead of assuming the sources and the channel have matched bandwidth, we consider the scenario when the transmission is subject to a bandwidth constraint in terms of the number of channel uses per source sample. We study the minimum transmission power such that the decoder can reconstruct the individual sources and meet the mean squared error (MSE) constraints on them. For any given bandwidth and distortion constraints, we optimize uncoded transmission to obtain an upper bound on the minimum transmission power.

We extend Binary Iterative Hard Thresholding (BIHT), an efficient sparse recovery algorithm from the area of Compressed Sensing (CS) that takes the 1-bit quantization explicitly into account, to complex-valued signals and multiple measurement vectors such that it is applicable to 1-bit DoA estimation with multiple snapshots. The comparison of the resulting Complex-valued BIHT (CBIHT) algorithm to subspace- and CS-based methods in terms of both DoA estimation performance and computational complexity demonstrates that CBIHT is well suited for scenarios with many antenna elements and a few snapshots.","PeriodicalId":211324,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124409048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The uplink-downlink transformation shall be performed at the base station by exploiting the current uplink and delayed downlink measurements. Based on a physically motivated geometric channel model, where different plane waves are assumed to superpose at the receiver antenna, the uplink-downlink transformation problem is shown to be a linear estimation problem. We propose a Kalman filter based uplink-downlink transformation algorithm. Commonly, the parameters of the Kalman filter, e.g., the state transition matrix, are obtained by using the channel autocorrelation matrix from stochastic channel models, e.g., the Jakes' fading model with truncated one-sided exponential power delay profile. However, the stochastic process for many channels of interest is not ergodic. Thus these stochastic channel models do not describe the statistics for a single realization. We thus propose to use these stochastic channel models for initialization only and then to periodically update the parameters of the Kalman filter by using the estimated channel coefficients. This results in an adaptive Kalman filter based uplink-downlink transformation algorithm. Performance of the proposed algorithm is assessed using Monte Carlo simulations.","PeriodicalId":211324,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114372698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Under common assumptions, the wireless channel constitutes an observable (by the sensors/network nodes), spatiotemporal, conditionally Gaussian stochastic process, which is statistically dependent on a set of hidden channel parameters, called the channel state. The channel state evolves in time according to a known, non Gaussian Markov stochastic kernel. Advocating the use of grid based approximate filters as an effective and robust means for recursive tracking of the channel state, we propose a sequential spatiotemporal predictor for tracking the respective channel gain map, for each sensor in the network. We also show that both estimators (state and gain map trackers) converge towards the true respective Minimum Mean Squared Error (MMSE) optimal estimators, in a common, relatively strong sense.

The use of MIMO techniques in mobile communications has achieved significant benefits in improving the system throughput. The basic underlying concept of MIMO is to exploit the signal and channel characteristics to eliminate interference between multiple transmissions. Departing from the work carried out under the industrial projects in the works of Henarejos et al. (2013), we extend the results provided in their respective reports. The goal is to increase the SE without an increment of radiated energy without any Channel State Information at Transmitter (CSIT) and feedback at the transmitter and maintaining a very low computational complexity at the receiver. Although a priori additional power is required to increase the SE, we demonstrate that the proposed Polarized Modulation (PMod) scheme exploits the polarization diversity reducing the required EbN0 and adding an extra bit. We also introduce two receivers to demodulate this scheme of different computational complexities. We describe a Near Optimal Detector (NOD) which achieves almost the same performance as the optimal detector based on the Maximum Likelihood Detection (MLD), but with lower computational complexity. Finally, the results demonstrate that the PMod requires less EbN0 compared with the single polarization case, guarantees the robustness in the presence of the cross-polarization and validates that PMod can multiplex two streams of different Quality of Service (QoS).","PeriodicalId":211324,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129565939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
