However, finding the group of mobile stations (MSs) that maximizes the system capacity using SDMA is a complex combinatorial problem, which can only be assuredly solved through an exhaustive search (ES). Because an ES is usually too complex, several suboptimal SDMA algorithms have been proposed. SDMA algorithms mainly differ on the grouping metrics they employ to quantify the spatial compatibility among MSs and on the grouping algorithm used to build the SDMA groups while avoiding ESs. In this work, the performance-complexity trade-off of four SDMA algorithms is investigated in terms of the average system capacity they achieve and on the number of operations they require. Expressions for the computational complexity of the algorithms are presented and it is shown that the algorithms proposed by the authors by Maciel and Klein (2007) attain almost the same average system capacity with comparable or lower complexity than other algorithms considered for benchmarking.","PeriodicalId":255495,"journal":{"name":"2008 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas","volume":"77 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":"126238981","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 focus on a scenario with per-antenna power constraint, which is of importance for a realistic implementation. Two design criteria are considered: (1) maximizing the weighted sum rate subject to per-antenna power constraints; (2) maximizing the minimum user rate subject to per-antenna power constraints. Non-convexity and the complicated mathematical structure of the problems make it difficult to derive efficient, globally optimal algorithms. Even the power allocation problem for sum-rate optimization leads to a problem formulation involving ratios of posynomials, which is generally an intrinsically intractable NP hard problem. The problems studied here are even more complicated, since we consider a joint optimization over powers, transmit filters and receive filters. For these problems, we derive iterative algorithms and prove the monotonic convergence of the algorithms. Additionally, we show that the results can be extended to other variations of the problems and the problems with other kinds of power constraints.","PeriodicalId":255495,"journal":{"name":"2008 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas","volume":"19 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":"114465227","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 problem is that the model predictions of channel power gain do not take into account the existence of additional receivers. As the number of terminals grows unboundedly, the sum of the predicted receive powers increases unboundedly, and eventually becomes larger than the total transmit power. In a passive propagation medium - like air - such model errors conflict with the principle of conservation of energy, when applied to asymptotic large system analysis. We propose a simple generic modification which - while applicable to any of the existent channel power gain models - corrects this model error and is intended as a first step towards the provision of a channel power gain model that allows for a meaningful large system analysis. We present a fully worked out example which, besides providing interesting insight, is also intended to demonstrate that mathematical tractability is not seriously affected by the proposed modification.","PeriodicalId":255495,"journal":{"name":"2008 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas","volume":"106 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":"132426347","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}

Applying the adaptive transmission mode, an adaptive subcarrier allocation and modulation is performed based on channel quality information (CQI) fed back digitised over a feedback channel to the transmitter. As CQI the resulting instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the output of the maximum ratio combiner of the different subcarriers is applied to exploit multi-user diversity. The CQI available at the transmitter side is assumed to be imperfect due to time delay, estimation and feedback errors. Applying the non-adaptive transmission mode, no instantaneous CQI is required. A transmission scheme exploiting frequency diversity in addition to the spatial diversity using OSTBC and MRC is employed. The data rates are compared in order to identify the optimal transmission mode depending on the grade of CQI imperfectness, where a given target bit error rate has to be fullfilled.","PeriodicalId":255495,"journal":{"name":"2008 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas","volume":"36 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":"121770255","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}

As a means to consider the system behavior including the channel code regarding bit or frame error rate (BER, FER) versus normalized average mutual information (NAMI) of an OFDM symbol for several M-QAM alphabets is investigated. To this end an approximation to the mutual information of MIMO systems with M-QAM signal alphabets is derived and compared to channel decomposition approaches to find a complexity/accuracy trade-off. Based on the mutual information results two algorithms using this channel knowledge are introduced. On the one hand, the error rates can be optimized assuming a fixed rate requirement and on the other hand the achieved transmission rate can be optimized under a BER/FER constraint. In both cases a NAMI threshold derived from the simulated system behavior for a specific channel code is used to adapt the allocated modulation alphabets via a greedy algorithm to achieve the target NAMI within an error margin.","PeriodicalId":255495,"journal":{"name":"2008 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121134926","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}
