MmWave hybrid precoding overcomes this limitation by dividing the spatial signal processing between the radio frequency and baseband domains. Analog networks of phase shifters have been proposed to implement the radio frequency precoders, since they achieve a good compromise between complexity and performance. In this paper, we propose a low complexity hybrid precoding design for the architecture based on phase shifters. The new method is a greedy algorithm based on the orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm, but replacing the costly correlation operations over a dictionary with the element-wise normalization of the first singular vector of the residual. The main advantage is that the design avoids any assumption on the antenna array geometry. Additionally, numerical results show the superiority of the proposed method in terms of achievable spectral efficiency over other previous solutions.","PeriodicalId":211324,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115716174","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 recast the problem of designing linear transceivers for interference alignment as a non-convex quadratic feasibility problem, and apply an extension of the recently proposed Feasible Point Pursuit Successive Convex Approximation (FPP-SCA) algorithm [8] to solve it. Simulations suggest that the proposed algorithm can attain DoF very close to the known theoretical upper bound in certain cases, significantly outperforming existing approaches.","PeriodicalId":211324,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127111229","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 paper introduces the competitive rate gap analysis, and solves the particular case of two transmission slots. For two time slots, we show that the optimal competitive rate gap is 0.2075 bits/s/Hz, and present a transmission policy that achieves it.

However, the performance of IA is always limited by the accuracy of the CSI. In particular, this is a problem in time-varying channels, as the CSI at transmitter (CSIT) may become outdated when the channel is changing quickly. In this study, we propose a novel cooperative relay-based interference alignment (RIA) scheme, which aims to increase the number of Degrees of Freedom (DoF) for the multiuser networks, even when the required source-to-destination CSIT is completely outdated. With the RIA scheme, the DoF region is firstly derived under an ideal CSIT case. Then, the RIA scheme is respectively presented in non-ideal CSIT cases. Furthermore, the achievable DoF regions by RIA in these non-ideal cases are derived. In addition, the trade-off between relay-based and non-relay based IA schemes are analysed.","PeriodicalId":211324,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130239272","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 this paper, we consider a power constrained robust formulation of the downlink precoding problem to counter the phase uncertainties. In particular it considers imposing conditions on the average signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR), to deal with imperfect CSIT. In addition to the robust formulation, the primacy of user selection is highlighted and a new approach exploiting the satellite system design is proposed. Performance of the derived robust precoder in conjunction with the proposed location based user selection is then evaluated and the gains are tabulated.","PeriodicalId":211324,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"409 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132033305","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 highest efficiency is neither achieved by a pure small-cell approach, nor by a pure massive MIMO solution.

A modified WMMSE algorithm that incorporates such factors is proposed.

Since co-channel interference is the main inhibitor to achieve the full potential of frequency reuse, we propose to mitigate the negative impact of interference through cooperative transmission schemes. When desired information is shared among two beams, rates can be assigned to each user independently. This is crucial to benefit from the use of adaptive coding and modulation. In addition, the receiver can resort to multi-user detection, which is proven to give satisfactory performance when several signals are simultaneously received. Numerical results reveal that the proposed cooperative strategy brings substantial improvements, in terms of spectral efficiency, with respect to multibeam satellite systems, where receivers treat the interference as noise and data content is plainly delivered through the corresponding beam.","PeriodicalId":211324,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"31 5 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":"133746160","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}
