This kind of impulsive noise can severely degrade the performance of linear receivers intended for operation under additive gaussian noise. Therefore, we propose the use of a quasi-optimal detection scheme with almost the same implementation complexity than the traditional linear receiver. Indeed, it only requires an additional memoryless saturating nonlinearity. This receiver is known to be optimal under a Laplacian noise distribution. We show that it is nearly optimal for the rest of the K-distribution family. Simulations results for the case of Wi-Fi 802.11b are presented quantifying the performance of this receiver compared with other interesting detection schemes. The results are very promising since improvements of 1 to 2 dB are shown to be achievable with small modifications in the linear receiver structure.","PeriodicalId":211324,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"25 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":"133540253","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}

Essential self-interference signal models under different RF imperfections are first presented, and then used to formulate widely linear, nonlinear and augmented nonlinear digital canceler structures. Furthermore, a general parameter estimation procedure based on least squares is laid out. Digital cancellation with actual measured self-interference signals is then performed using all the presented methods. To ensure a realistic scenario, the used transmitter has realistic levels of I/Q imbalance, and is also utilizing a highly nonlinear low-cost power amplifier. Furthermore, a realistic RF canceler is incorporated in the measurements, and both shared-antenna and dual-antenna based devices are measured and experimented. The obtained results indicate that only a digital canceler structure capable of modeling all the essential impairments is able to suppress the self-interference close to the receiver noise floor.","PeriodicalId":211324,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"13 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":"120981175","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}

However, as UER needs to use its own power to forward other user's data, D2D communication may be unreasonable to the UER. To overcome this issue, motivated by the recent progress in energy harvesting (EH) techniques, we propose a D2D communication provided EH heterogeneous cellular network (D2D-EHHN), where UERs harvest energy from an access point (AP) and use the harvested energy for D2D communication. We first derive the UER distribution according to the EH parameters, and then propose opportunistic D2D communication scheme to determine the transmission mode based on the best UER location. We then explore the effect of network parameters on the outage probability. Particularly, we show that having a high EH efficiency at user equipments (UEs) does not always improve the performance of D2D-EHHN, especially for dense network, and also how EH parameters affect the optimal offloading bias that minimizes the outage probability of D2D-EHHN.","PeriodicalId":211324,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"62 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":"124989501","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 full-duplex operation allows leveraging channel reciprocity for open-loop uplink training to estimate the downlink channels. However, the uplink transmission of training creates interference at the downlink receiving mobile nodes. We characterize the optimal training resource allocation and its associated spectral efficiency, in the proposed open-loop training based full-duplex system. We also evaluate the performance of the half-duplex counterpart to derive the relative gains of full-duplex training.

The investigated architecture can be modeled as a multiple-access relay channel (MARC) channel where multiple users communicate with a final destination (the macro base station) with the help of a relay (the small cell base station). A network-coding-based MARC, which exploits both the direct and relayed transmissions, is introduced to deal with low-capacity BH. We assess the UL average system capacity for 1) the baseline association based on the strongest reference signal received power (RSRP) in downlink (DL) and 2) the optimized user association chosen to improve the overall network UL sum-rate. Our results show that the network-coding-based MARC scheme achieves significant gains with respect to the pure relaying strategy. We further show that the optimized user association provides significant gains in network UL sum-rate with respect to the RSRP association, for the same sum power constraint and without degrading DL performance, especially when the BH capacity is sufficiently large.","PeriodicalId":211324,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"78 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":"128400437","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}

However, with multiple antennas on both ends, the MIMO setting requires global Channel State Information at the Transmitter (CSIT) (i.e. CSIT from the other transmitters (Tx) also). Though global CSIT can be organized within a cluster, it leads to significant fast CSIT acquisition overhead. In this paper we focus on the (dominant) multipath components in the MIMO propagation channels with only the slow fading components known to the Tx, corresponding to a structured form of covariance CSIT. The pathwise approach allows for a decomposition of the alignment tasks between Tx and receivers (Rx), leading to the sufficiency of local pathwise CSIT plus limited coordination overhead. To optimize Ergodic Weighted Sum Rate at finite SNR, we exploit the uplink/downlink duality to design the Tx beamformers as MMSE filters, in which averaging over complex path amplitudes leads to pathwise filters. We furthermore explore a relation between the difference of convex (DC) functions programming and the Weighted Sum MSE (WSMSE) approaches, indicating significant convergence speed potential for the former, and allowing a fixing of the latter for the case of partial CSIT.","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":"2015-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127870413","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}

Multi-way relay networks (MWRNs) can address this challenge by improving the system spectral efficiency. In this work, we further improve the spectral efficiency of MWRNs by proposing a novel linear beamforming design, namely partial zero-forcing (PZF), for MWRNs with a multiple-input-multiple-output relay. Compared to zero-forcing (ZF), in PZF, the constraints on the relay beamforming are relaxed such that only partial user-interference, instead of all, is canceled at the relay. After receiving the relay's signal, the users eliminate the remaining interferences through self-interference and successive interference cancellation. By taking such two-stage interference cancellation, PZF better exploits the degrees-of-freedom in MWRNs and achieves higher data rates than ZF.","PeriodicalId":211324,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"38 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":"127286657","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}
