The rate-splitting (RS) approach to this problem involves splitting the messages of each user into common and private portions that are transmitted in superposition and decoded sequentially. By adjusting the rates of each portion, the RS approach is able to mitigate the interference that conventional linear beamforming (CLB) schemes incur when users have channels that are closely aligned. However, the transmitter design problem for the RS approach can be quite challenging to solve. In this paper we develop a single-rate-splitting approach, in which RS is applied only to the user with the channel that is “most aligned” with the other channels. This approach greatly reduces the computational cost of RS designs, and admits an offset-based variant that provides robustness to channel estimation errors. Despite its simplifications, our simulation results indicate that the proposed approach retains most of the performance advantage of RS transmission over CLB.","PeriodicalId":240036,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 19th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129293159","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}

When the RRHs have multiple antennas and limited radio front-end resources, the design of uplink channel estimation is faced with the challenges posed by reduced radio frequency (RF) chains and one-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) at the RRHs. This work tackles the problem of jointly optimizing the pilot sequences and the pre-RF chains analog combiners with the goal of minimizing the sum of mean squared errors (MSEs) of the estimated channel vectors at the BBU. The problem formulation models the impact of the ADC operation by leveraging Bussgang's theorem. An efficient solution is developed by means of an iterative alternating optimization algorithm. Numerical results validate the advantages of the proposed joint design compared to baseline schemes that randomly choose either pilots or analog combiners.","PeriodicalId":240036,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 19th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116228636","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}

Our objective is to maximize the minimum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) subject to a given transmit power.

In this paper, a spatial precoder-decoder design based on Interference Alignment (IA) is proposed assuming that an interference channel is shared by Kc communication users and Kr radar users. In order to find an IA based precoder-decoder solution guaranteeing desired multiplexing gain or diversity order, the design problem is formulated using a rank minimization criterion with rank constraint for the communication subsystem and rank minimization criterion with l0 norm constraint for the radar, respectively. To deal with the non-convex nature of the optimization problem, we relax the problem by using nuclear norm. A generalized likelihood ratio test for target detection and a maximum likelihood estimator for target direction parameter are derived. The performance of the proposed IA based precoder-decoder design is analyzed using the GLRT detector and the ML estimator for MIMO radar. Analytical and simulation results show that radar detection performance is similar to the interference-free case with desired diversity order if the decoder matrix is semi-unitary and IA is perfect.","PeriodicalId":240036,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 19th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122639449","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}

For scattering networks, a deformation error stability bound has been established. It remained an open question for which functions in L2 (R d) the bound actually is finite. For practical applications, it is further relevant to know whether the deformation error can be controlled for a “large” set of functions or only for a “small” set. Recently, there has been progress regarding the mathematical understanding of scattering networks and new decay bounds on the energy per network layer were discovered. We show how these bounds can be used to control the deformation error by constructing an upper bound on the existing deformation error bounds. The structure of the new deformation error bound is less complex and allows us to conduct a qualitative mathematical analysis using the functional analytic tool of Baire categories and determine the “size” of the set of functions for which finiteness holds. Our results reveal that the new bound is finite only on a set of first Baire category (meager set). In addition, our investigations focus on shift invariance which is an important property for many signal processing applications. We study the deformation error bounds for shift-invariant closed subspace of L2R) as input for DCNNs. This turns out to be closely related to the Paley-Wiener spaces of bandlimited functions.","PeriodicalId":240036,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 19th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133755210","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}
