The distortion analytical expression shows the relationship between the prototype pulses and the number of affected out-band subcarriers. Realistic study cases show that OQAM/FBMC is a suitable solution for OFDMA schemes, since distortion can be maintained at tolerable levels.","PeriodicalId":211324,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"71 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":"125912369","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 two solvers, one using alternating descent and the other using Metropolis-Hastings sampling. Although the latter is based on the concept of Bayesian sampling, we avoid confining the outliers to a specific model.

It is shown that the frequency domain implementation of the linear equalizer achieves good performance complexity trade-off. The cost to pay for the frequency domain processing is the addition of a Cyclic Prefix (CP) to ensure the blocks orthogonality. The consequence is a channel dependent spectral efficiency loss. We thus investigate on the efficiency gain related to the CP omission for frequency domain equalizers for different block sizes and show that for large block sizes, the equalizer's performance is not much sacrificed.","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":"130421572","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 show that eigenbeamforming leads to a simple yet effective maximization of the energy efficiency (EE) of the MIMO CP-SC link. Moreover, the associated power allocation relies on the combination of waterfilling among the spatial streams and a proper distribution of the per-stream allocated power among subcarriers. Numerical results show that, if we account for the efficiency of the high power amplifier (HPA) associated with the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), CP-SC can be more energy efficient than orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for moderate to high signal-to-noise (SNR) values.","PeriodicalId":211324,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"74 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":"124655209","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}

By allowing the filter length to exceed the cyclic prefix (CP) length of OFDM and designing the filter appropriately, the proposed f-OFDM waveform can achieve a desirable frequency localization for bandwidths as narrow as a few tens of subcarriers, while keeping the inter-symbol interference/inter-carrier interference (ISI/ICI) within an acceptable limit. Enabled by the proposed f-OFDM, an asynchronous filtered orthogonal frequency division multiple access (f-OFDMA)/filtered discrete-Fourier transform-spread OFDMA (f-DFT-S-OFDMA) scheme is introduced, which uses the spectrum shaping filter at each transmitter for side lobe leakage elimination and a bank of filters at the receiver for inter-user interference rejection. Per-user downsampling and short fast Fourier transform (FFT) are used at the receiver to ensure a reasonable complexity of implementation. The proposed scheme removes the inter-user time-synchronization overhead required in the synchronous OFDMA/DFT-S-OFDMA. The performance of the asynchronous f-OFDMA is evaluated and compared with that of the universal-filtered OFDM (UF-OFDM), proposed in [1], [2].","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":"2015-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132949167","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 target scenario is a two-hop distributed one-way relay network where the transmitters, relays and receivers are all equipped with a single antenna. Assuming that channel state information (CSI) is perfectly known, our goal here is to design the AF weights at the relays so that the system rate performance can be optimized. A classic AF scheme in this context is to employ a rank-one beamformed AF (BF-AF) strategy with a max-min-fair (MMF) achievable rate objective. In this way, the semidefinite relaxation (SDR) technique is widely used to provide an (approximate) solution for the MMF problem. It is known that the achievable rate performance of the SDR-based BF-AF scheme tends to degrade seriously with the number of users served in the relay network. This motivates us to propose stochastic beamformed AF (SBF-AF) schemes to improve the achievable rate performance. The salient feature of the SBF-AF schemes is that it employs time-varying AF weights and bypass some inherent issues in the SDR-based BF-AF scheme. Our theoretical analysis and numerical results both show that the SBF-AF schemes can outperform the BF-AF scheme.","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":"123800866","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}

This interference ultimately limits the achievable rate when basic linear beamforming is used. We show how to push this limit by exploiting the statistical properties of the channel. Specifically, we use a lower bound on the achievable rate to formulate a rate balancing problem which is independent of the instantaneous channel state information but only depends on the second order information. The rate balancing problem is then solved by methods known from classical MIMO systems leading to beamforming vectors and power allocations which significantly outperform the standard matched filter or zero-forcing approaches.","PeriodicalId":211324,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"8 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":"124900977","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 first propose a novel caching scheme to significantly improve the MIMO cooperation opportunity induced by PHY caching.

This is performed by considering certain informative prior distributions for the channel coefficients. Assuming a sparse multipath channel, the equalisation problem is formulated in a Bayesian setting and inference is performed in the well-known framework better known as Sparse Bayesian Learning (SBL). The previously proposed Fast Variational SBL (FVSBL) algorithm is capable of efficient inference in a true Bayesian setting but only in the case of uninformative prior distributions. We use a set of extensions to the FVSBL approach to mitigate these problems. These modifications stem from a refined fixed-point analysis. Empirical evidence supports the proper function of the proposed method.
