For such systems, Lines mapping was proved to be a simple and efficient mapping when MMSE decoding is used. However, MMSE decoding presents a high computational load. In order to reduce complexity of such schemes, this paper studies the suitability of replacing the MMSE decoders by the much simpler ML decoders. The scenario where the ML decoders have some additional side information (Wyner-Ziv scenario) is also analyzed. Their performances are compared with the corresponding theoretical bound and with the obtained simulation results of their MMSE counterparts.","PeriodicalId":211324,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115679907","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}

We propose an iterative estimation approach based on solving in every iteration a specific weighted optimization problem. The weights are derived for two cases: known and partly known (or unknown) variances of the data estimation errors, assumed Gaussian; this assumption holds for the LTE uplink with the SC-FDMA modulation. We compare by simulation the proposed reweighted estimation approach with the conventional iterative estimation based on solving the unweighted optimization problem in a multiuser LTE uplink scenario. The comparison shows that the proposed weighted approach significantly outperforms the conventional unweighted estimation.","PeriodicalId":211324,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127305450","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}

In particular, total average transmission rate is derived as a function of various system parameters such as backhaul link capacity, cache size, number of active transmitter-receiver pairs as well as the quantization bits for channel state information (CSI). Given the fact that base stations are equipped both with caching and IA capabilities and have knowledge of content popularity profile, we then characterize an operational regime where the caching is beneficial. Subsequently, we find the optimal number of transmitter-receiver pairs that maximizes the total average transmission rate. When the popularity profile of requested contents falls into the operational regime, it turns out that caching substantially improves the throughput as it mitigates the backhaul usage and allows IA methods to take benefit of such limited backhaul.","PeriodicalId":211324,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122358879","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 receiver aims to jointly estimate the source signal and the state interference. We propose a layered parametric analog coding scheme based on linear and sawtooth mappings. We derive an upper bound on the distortion for the parametric scheme by assuming a suboptimal decoder. To optimize the system parameters, we use two suboptimal methods. The first one is partially numerical and part of the parameters are derived assuming no sawtooth mapping; the other one, however, is based on minimizing the derived upper bound. To improve the performance whenever storage and offline design complexity are not an issue, we design a nonparametric mapping through an iterative process based on joint optimization between the encoder and the decoder using the necessary conditions for optimality. Numerical results show that the nonparametric and parametric mappings outperform the linear scheme and overcome the saturation effect.","PeriodicalId":211324,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121591445","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 multitaper detector has been strongly recommended to be used for spectrum sensing in cognitive radio systems. In this paper we provide a new and accurate model for the Multitaper detector assuming that both the transmitting and detecting nodes are employing single-user multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) structures. We present closed form mathematical expressions for the performance of the decision variable within the hypotheses testing context. We model the decision variable using the Phase-Type distribution, where we derive the exact distribution parameters for both the null and the alternate hypotheses. Furthermore, we accurately bound the average probability of detection over Nakagami fading channels. Finally, the average probability of detection is maximized to yield a predetermined probability of false alarm. The results show that the obtained analytical models are accurate. As a generic trend, it is found that adjusting the length of observed sequences has no effect on the detector performance. On the other hand, it is found that increasing the number of receiving branches provides a significant enhancement for the MIMO-Multitaper method.","PeriodicalId":211324,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133133053","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}

Since the spectral efficiency of these networks is limited by pilot contamination, the pilot allocation across cells is of paramount importance. However, finding efficient pilot reuse patterns is non-trivial especially in practical asymmetric base station deployments. In this paper, we approach this problem using coalitional game theory. Each cell has its own unique pilots and can form coalitions with other cells to gain access to more pilots. We develop a low-complexity distributed algorithm and prove convergence to an individually stable coalition structure. Simulations reveal fast algorithmic convergence and substantial performance gains over one-cell coalitions and full pilot reuse.","PeriodicalId":211324,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128713820","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}
