The optimization criterion is to minimize the total transmit power subject to the constraints that the user worst-case signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratios (SINRs) are above a pre-defined quality of service (QoS) threshold. In contrast to the earlier approaches to this problem, we take into account positive semi-definiteness of the mismatched channel covariance matrices. Two approaches to solve the resulting robust downlink beamforming problem are proposed using semidefinite programming (SDP).

Pattern perturbations due to lens edge effects are systematically analyzed. Finally guidelines for an optimum antenna setup with minimum sensor size are derived. The results show excellent elevation beam shaping performance. High resolution direction of arrival (DOA) estimation is important for future automotive safety systems.

However, when considering a multi- cell scenario, i.e., a cellular network, the optimal strategy to maximize the sum rate capacity in each of the cells is still unknown. Nevertheless, based on a game-theoretic framework DPC can be applied at each cell as a decentralized strategy in a cellular network, in order to maximize the sum broadcast capacity of the network. By treating the cells in the network as players in a strategic cooperative game, simultaneous iterative waterfilling can be performed, i.e., every cell computes its optimal beamforming vectors according to DPC and by considering the intercell interference generated in the previous iteration. At each iteration the beamforming vectors for each user in each cell are updated with the gradient projection algorithm in order to maximize the sum network broadcast capacity. The algorithm is repeated until it converges, i.e., a local maximum is achieved. This theoretic result approaches the maximum rate that can be transmitted in the downlink of a network. Additionally, in order to introduce some fairness into the network, we consider in a similar way as the previous problem, the task of minimizing the sum of the mean square errors of all the users in the network.","PeriodicalId":255495,"journal":{"name":"2008 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas","volume":"3 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":"115394599","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}

To model the requirements arising from the individual users, we apply specific traffic and mobility models for metropolitan areas that represent user movement and service requirements in an adequate way. These demands result in an individual signal to interference and noise requirement that has to be fulfilled for each user on the physical layer. Thus, in a first step we analyze the interference among users on a 4-way junction on the downlink and show that it should not be ignored. Based on this observation, we propose the target SINR sensitive channel representative interference cancellation (TSS-CRIC) scheme. It groups the users in a street and calculates a channel representative. The latter, as a virtual user, reflects the spatial features of all users in the group. Moreover, it is tailored in such a way that the precoding computed on its basis achieves the individual Quality of Service requirements and is able to adapt itself as the users move through the scenario. These advantages justify the higher computational complexity compared to a scheme that achieves similar results with respect to pure interference suppression.","PeriodicalId":255495,"journal":{"name":"2008 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas","volume":"35 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":"115318352","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 installation of such systems on board of aircraft requires the development of a very low-profile aircraft antenna, which can point to satellites anywhere in the upper hemisphere. To this end, phased array antennas which are conformal to the aircraft fuselage are attractive. In this paper two key aspects of conformal phased array antenna arrays are addressed: the development of a broadband Ku-band antenna and the beam synthesis for conformal array antennas. The antenna elements of the conformal array are stacked patch antennas with dual linear polarization which have sufficient bandwidth. For beam forming synthesis a method based on a truncated singular value decomposition is proposed.","PeriodicalId":255495,"journal":{"name":"2008 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas","volume":"109 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":"115552204","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}
