It yields channel estimates after every OFDM symbol reflecting time-variant channel behavior and provides data with approx. 4 bit/s/Hz for a 4×4 MIMO setup due to a decision directed scheme. Through the usage of short LDPC codes and employing a MIMO-OFDM symbol reconstruction method from the LDPC decoder output significant gains in estimation accuracy were realized in computer experiments even in high velocity scenarios. Simulation results based on 3GPP MIMO spatial channel model show the estimation accuracy for a range of velocities which are underlined by comparison of bit error rates with perfect channel state information and the channel estimation.","PeriodicalId":311394,"journal":{"name":"2010 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas (WSA)","volume":"7 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120818641","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 present a versatile methodology for maximizing LoS-MIMO capacity at any operating signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by capitalizing on some recent results in two areas: i) design of optimized LoS MIMO configurations and ii) MIMO capacity maximization with reconfigurable antenna arrays. Our theoretical and numerical results demonstrate that by simply adjusting the antenna spacing as a function of SNR, significant capacity gains are achievable. In the following, the implications of the model parameters on the system performance are also assessed.","PeriodicalId":311394,"journal":{"name":"2010 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas (WSA)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123998131","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}

However, using carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA), it can support only point-to-point links. On the other hand, it is known that multiuser MIMO techniques significantly increase the spectral efficiency of a network. There are already some enhanced MIMO signal processing techniques available which enable concurrent multiuser transmissions by utilising multiuser interference cancellation techniques. Multiuser interference can also be cancelled in a distributed manner. To enhance IEEE 802.11n systems such that multiple users can transmit simultaneously, we propose a novel cluster-based CSMA/CA (CB-CSMA/CA) protocol. According to this protocol, nodes in a network are grouped in clusters such that the nodes which belong to the same cluster can transmit or receive simultaneously. In this paper, we explain the basics of the protocol and investigate throughput performance of the CB-CSMA/CA. We apply the CB-CSMA/CA to a multiuser zero-forcing relaying network, where several amplify-and-forward relays assist the communication between multiple source and destination pairs and perform distributed channel orthogonalisation. This cooperative network can be considered as a future application for next generation WLANs. As it is shown, the CB-CSMA/CA provides a significant throughput gain over point-to-point systems.","PeriodicalId":311394,"journal":{"name":"2010 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas (WSA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129417938","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 apply the S-GSVD, second order statistics of the noise should be estimated, e.g., via samples captured in the absence of the desired signal components. In this contribution, we propose the Iterative Sequential Generalized Singular Value Decomposition (I-S-GSVD) based prewhitening scheme for multidimensional HOSVD based subspace estimation when information about the noise statistics is not available. Even without the availability of samples in the absence of the desired signals components, it is possible to obtain the prewhitening correlation factors and the signal parameters in an iterative way using a deterministic algorithm in combination with the S-GSVD. This combination constitutes our proposed I-S-GSVD. Finally, the I-S-GSVD inherits the computational efficiency from the S-GSVD compared to matrix based prewhitening schemes.","PeriodicalId":311394,"journal":{"name":"2010 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas (WSA)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116243051","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 spherical harmonics domain array processing problem is expressed with a matrix formulation. The weight vector design problem is written as a multiply constrained problem, so that the resulting beamformer can provide a suitable trade-off among mutually conflicting beamforming objectives, such as the lowest sidelobe level, beamwidth, multi-null steering, robustness and so on. The multiply constrained problem is formulated as a convex form of second-order cone programming which is computationally tractable. The main advantage of this method over classical element-space array processing approaches is that the frequency dependent components can be pre-decoupled and removed from angular dependent spherical harmonics, so the same beampattern could be used over a frequency range with a single set of array weights, and the complexity of broad-band beamforming optimization algorithms can be reduced.","PeriodicalId":311394,"journal":{"name":"2010 International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas (WSA)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128403304","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 sensed information at each of such nodes is channel-encoded and forwarded to a central receiver through parallel independent AWGN channels. In this scenario, several recent contributions have shown that the end-to-end Bit Error Rate (BER) performance can be dramatically improved if the decoders associated to each received signal and the data fusion stage exchange soft information in an iterative Turbo-like fashion. In order to achieve optimum performance, the probability of sensing error must be known (or estimated) at the receiver.
