A receiver is permitted to join the broadcast at any time, where after an initial startup delay, it is able to deliver packets at its channel rate. This transmission scheme is the first to allow in-order packet delivery while providing innovative information to all receivers at all times. We illustrate how this feature can be achieved by taking advantage of the early decoding properties of an existing network coding transmission scheme.","PeriodicalId":378421,"journal":{"name":"2014 Australian Communications Theory Workshop (AusCTW)","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133520286","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 a multi-cell network, interference is the main bottleneck on the communication rate, compared to noise. In this paper, we focus on deriving the ergodic downlink sum-rate scaling law for the system of interest considering an interference-limited regime (i.e., the high SNR region). More specifically, through deriving the moment generating function of the sum-rate, we show that the ergodic downlink sum-rate scales logarithmically as the number of users grows large. This result is different from the well-known double logarithmic sum-rate growth with increasing number of users due to the interference-limited assumption. Finally, numerical results are also presented to validate our analysis and provide further insights.","PeriodicalId":378421,"journal":{"name":"2014 Australian Communications Theory Workshop (AusCTW)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130561424","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 theory, due to the utilisation of superimposed signals at a wireless relay, PNC can double the system throughput when compared to traditional point-to-point systems. However, achieving perfect synchronisation between transmitted signals at the relay is challenging. The use of cyclic low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and cyclic redundancy check (CRC) to combat frame asynchrony in PNC has recently been proposed. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to cope with frame misalignment in PNC using cyclic codes with a cyclic prefix. We also introduce a new frame structure for PNC systems, which adopts Gold sequences as its pilot sequences. Due to particular properties of the Gold sequences, arrival delay between two signals overlapped at the relay can be estimated effectively. Simulation results show that cyclic prefix usage can significantly compensate for frame misalignment.","PeriodicalId":378421,"journal":{"name":"2014 Australian Communications Theory Workshop (AusCTW)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120943480","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 pilot contamination problem arises in multi-cell systems owing to transmission of the same pilots from users (or mobile stations) in different cells. The focus of this paper is to study the impact of different training sequences on pilot contamination in Massive MIMO systems. Specifically, we consider an adaptive beam-forming salgorithm which has been previously applied in MIMO interference networks. This algorithm uses bidirectional training in which training sequences are sent from current beamformers to adapt the mobile station receive filters and then the training sequences using mobile station filters as beamformers, are sent in reverse direction to adapt the beamformers at base station side. The adaptation of both transmit and receive filters is done using the least squares objective function. The adaptive beamforming algorithm shows improvement in performance in terms of average sum rate if the random training sequences are transmitted from users in different cells.

Each coded symbol in AFC is directly generated from information symbols, by linearly combining them with real weighting coefficients. Weight coefficients and the degree of each coded symbol are chosen from predetermined weight set and degree distribution function, respectively. We further formulate an optimization problem to find the optimum weight set in order to maximize the efficiency of the proposed code.

Increasing the number of feedback bits improves performance. However, this in turn requires a significant increase in the control channel bandwidth. The goal of the proposed reconfigurable antenna codebook scheme is to improve the closed-loop precoding gain without increasing the number of feedback bits. We employ reconfigurable antennas at the receiver resulting in multiple possible channel conditions. We have shown through simulations that increasing the number of receive antenna states has the same effect as a bigger codebook in terms of received signal to noise ratio gain, improved symbol error rate and sum rate gain. Different codeword and RA state selection methods are considered for both single and multi-layer transmissions and different system sizes, using LTE and Grassmannian codebooks with MMSE and SVD receivers.","PeriodicalId":378421,"journal":{"name":"2014 Australian Communications Theory Workshop (AusCTW)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129430645","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 paper concentrates on a particular method in which the channel, having a discrete tapped-delay-line structure, is simulated by generating a time-varying Doppler spread channel tap for each resolvable delay path. Each channel tap is created by the addition of multiple sinusoidal echoes, where the frequency of an echo is assigned randomly based on the channel Doppler spectrum. A model of this type has three key parameters: the sampling rate, the number of sinusoidal echoes and the total number of samples used in the channel realisation. Quantitative criteria are developed which provide guidelines for selecting values of parameters in the simulator design. These criteria are illustrated by examining the performance of two simulated channels, one having the Jakes Doppler spectrum the other a Gaussian Doppler spectrum. The performance is measured in terms of a normalised root-mean-squared-error between the specified and the achieved Doppler spectra. We conclude that to keep the NRMSE of the achieved Doppler spectrum to within 10%, 200 sinusoids are sufficient, provided that a suitable sampling frequency is selected.","PeriodicalId":378421,"journal":{"name":"2014 Australian Communications Theory Workshop (AusCTW)","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129181738","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 receiver uses an array of prisms to form channel matrices that can achieve angular diversity within a compact receiver structure. The transmission of light through a prism onto a photodetecting surface is analyzed showing that the channel gain depends on the orientation of the prisms. Thus, by arranging the prisms carefully, channel matrices with full rank can be formed in a multiple LED scenario, which facilitates the use of low complexity linear de-multiplexing algorithms, including zero-forcing (ZF) and minimum mean square error (MMSE). We present bit error rate (BER) results in a typical indoor scenario.
