It is shown that the interfering multicast network has strong interference for a larger set of channel parameters than what was previously obtained. The cyclic interference channel is a setup where each transmitter causes interference only to its neighboring receiver. Its capacity with strong interference is obtained. The noisy interference regime is also given as an extension of previous work in the fully connected interference channel.","PeriodicalId":307097,"journal":{"name":"2011 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133268231","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}

Assuming a sum-power constraint over all transmit antennas, the sum capacity of such a system can be achieved with dirty paper coding (DPC) which has been found as a very promising strategy. Rather than the usual sum-power constraint, in this paper we focus on the downlink of a cooperative multicellular network where each transmit antenna has an individual power constraint. This scenario is much more realistic than the case where a sum power constraint is considered, since in practical systems transmit antennas have their own power amplifiers. We extend this approach to the scenario where each base station (BS) is assumed to have an individual power constraint. We propose a capacity calculation algorithm which is able to take both per-BS and per-antenna power constraints into account.","PeriodicalId":307097,"journal":{"name":"2011 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129118535","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 number of active users K is larger than the number of transmit antennas M, the base station can exploit multiuser diversity by cleverly scheduling a set of M users. For this purpose, the base station needs to know the downlink channel state information of all the users in the system. In a frequency division duplex (FDD) system, this is attained with limited feedback from the users. Albeit most of the literature assumes a per-user limited feedback, a system limited feedback is actually more appropriate. Given a constraint on the total amount of airtime available for feedback, in this work we are interested in determining the optimum number of users that should feed back. We observe a tradeoff between the attainable degree of multiuser diversity and the feedback quality. The users are scheduled based on minimizing the sum of the mean square error (MSE) for the selected set of users.","PeriodicalId":307097,"journal":{"name":"2011 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127627018","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 show, how the pilot symbols required for achieving this information affect the possible data rates. The measurements of the channels are suffering from pilot contamination, due to the measurements in adjacent cells. On the one hand, with a too short pilot length, cooperation is not possible and the channels are learned too poorly, degrading the possible data rates. On the other hand, a too long pilot length reduces the efficiency of the system, leaving no resources for the data transmission. In addition, the channel measurements are outdated before they can be applied. With an upper bound to the sum rate of a system with interference coordination and a sub-optimal pilot allocation strategy, we discuss the pilot length trade-off.","PeriodicalId":307097,"journal":{"name":"2011 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114738890","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}

While the receiver has distribution knowledge of the doubly correlated Gaussian channel that is conditioned on pilot-based training observations (partial CSIRx), the transmitter has either conditional distribution knowledge about the receiver's observations based on feedback (partial CSITx), or only unconditioned distribution knowledge (statistical CSITx). In case of partial CSITx, the design is based on an alternating optimization of the transmit and receive filter. For statistical CSITx, a novel closed-form expression for the expected MMSE is calculated and the structure of the optimal precoder is determined. This enables us to employ an efficient gradient projection method for the robust precoder design.","PeriodicalId":307097,"journal":{"name":"2011 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas","volume":"127 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122978276","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 take a close look at the Cramér-Rao bound of the two-object estimation problem. We show the influence of the objects' phase difference and their signal power. Furthermore, criterions are introduced, which can be used to optimize the average direction estimation performance of an antenna array. It turns out that there are array and angle combinations which are more sensitive to phase difference changes than others.","PeriodicalId":307097,"journal":{"name":"2011 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128671563","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}
