For N = 2 independent sources and dual-frequency operation (i.e., two separate frequency channels are available for transmission), it has been recently shown that additional diversity gain can be attained by simply switching the transmit frequency bands between users at the relay site, thus reducing the scenario to a 2times2 MIMO channel with achievable diversity order equal to 2. In this paper we propose to extend this previous work to the case where the sources are spatially correlated. Under a detect-and-forward (DF) relay approach, and using a maximum likelihood (ML) detector, we show that the performance of the aforementioned dual-frequency scheme can be enhanced by preprocessing the detected symbols and properly designing the constellation mapping at the relay site. In addition, we derive closed-form expressions for the symbol error probability of our proposed scheme. Simulation results show that our system outperforms the scheme in when the relay is close to the sources.","PeriodicalId":255495,"journal":{"name":"2008 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas","volume":"204 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116358203","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 issue becomes even more serious in a multi-antenna transmitter. To increase power efficiency, a PAR reduction scheme must be applied at the transmitter. Recently, generalizations of two popular PAR reduction techniques, partial transmit sequences (PTS) and selected mapping (SLM), to multi-antenna systems have been proposed. In this paper, a comparison of these two schemes is accomplished. For that purpose, a point-to-point and a broadcast scenario is assessed. It is shown that under the condition of (almost) same computational complexity, PTS offers significant gains compared to SLM.","PeriodicalId":255495,"journal":{"name":"2008 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126581389","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 performance of both theoretical and measured single and multiple antenna receivers with various polarimetric radiation patterns is compared for different satellite elevation angles. The spatio-temporal satellite to indoor channels are obtained via a 3D ray tracing engine and a geometry-based channel modeling tool. Moreover, the influence of coupling effects between closely spaced antennas on the availability is studied. Under the assumption of a line-of-sight (LOS) connection between the satellite and the wall where the possible window is placed, the indoor performance with and without windows is compared. The results show quantitatively that additional antennas placed at the receiver reduce both the spatial and the temporal variability of the received power, significantly reducing the transmit power required for the same target availability. The antenna coupling effects increase the required link margin.","PeriodicalId":255495,"journal":{"name":"2008 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127343210","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}

Although MIMO-OFDM systems provide both spatial and frequency diversities that can be exploited by the transmitter, e. g. through spreading, they often suffer from the presence of antenna correlations which can degrade the system performance. Full channel knowledge is usually assumed at the receiver and none at the transmitter. In this paper, partial channel knowledge (transmit correlations) is assumed to be available at the transmitter and is exploited by the precoder. Spreading is also applied at the transmitter to extract the MIMO-OFDM diversity either fully or partially. In addition, coded transmission using convolutional codes is assumed. At the receiver, iterative equalization and decoding is employed assuming full channel knowledge. Two sub-optimum equalizers, soft Cholesky equalizer (SCE) and recurrent neural network equalizer (RNN), are used for equalization. Through the used of EXIT-charts, the performance of the MIMO-OFDM system with both precoding and spreading is analyzed.","PeriodicalId":255495,"journal":{"name":"2008 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130716907","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 EM channel estimation is tested under two scenarios - time-varying interference environment with pilot symbol-aided modulation, and a single-user environment without any pilot symbols. For the time-varying interference scenario, the initial estimate of channel coefficient and the noise PSD are obtained from pilots and further estimations are refined using turbo decoder soft outputs. In contrast, pilot symbols are eliminated for the single-user iterative receiver with initial estimation performed from the received code symbols, followed by the iterative updates using the feedback from the turbo decoder as before. The refined channel coefficients and noise PSD are iteratively passed to the turbo decoder resulting in improved decoding results for both time-varying interference and single-user scenarios.","PeriodicalId":255495,"journal":{"name":"2008 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131228334","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}

Due to the combinatorial structure the considered problems are non-convex. We propose algorithms based on the Lagrangian dual avoiding a combinatorial optimization. The resulting power allocations are surprisingly close to the information-theoretic optimum. Moreover, the performance loss can be upper bounded by an expression based on the the Lagrangian duality gap, which yields a valuable statement about any arbitrary resource allocation fulfilling the constraints.","PeriodicalId":255495,"journal":{"name":"2008 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128464476","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 proposed strategy achieves these quality of service (QoS) restrictions at the same time as an opportunistic user selection is performed, so that the system multiuser gain is extracted while the QoS is satisfied. The system minimum-guaranteed throughput is then formulated in a closed form expression, and a throughput maximization is performed through the optimization of the number of transmitting beams, therefore exploiting the system spatial capabilities in the most convenient approach.","PeriodicalId":255495,"journal":{"name":"2008 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116817923","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}
