We consider two different non-ideal hardware models: i) an additive noise model in which the level of the noise at an antenna is proportional to the signal power at that antenna, ii) an additive precoder error model. We focus on the problem of minimizing mean-square error at the receiver under transmit power constraints at the transmitter. For the first hardware impairment model, this scenario leads to a non-convex formulation for which we propose a block-coordinate descent technique. The proposed method has a convergence guarantee and provides rank-constrained solutions. For the second model, analytical expressions for the optimum designs are provided. We compare the performance of our hardware impairment aware designs with that of designs developed with ideal hardware assumptions. Our results suggest that significant gains can be obtained by the proposed designs for sufficiently high signal-to-noise ratio values.","PeriodicalId":383105,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124094909","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}

Available CA modes have driven the antenna design towards the frequency agile volume optimized antenna solution presented in this work. It only covers the required instantaneous bandwidth while standard static antennas would require a wider bandwidth and therefore a larger volume to be compatible with all CA modes.","PeriodicalId":383105,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"123 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126867521","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}

For this we employ a simple additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) model, where in general K cooperating SUs are monitoring the wireless spectrum to determine the presence of a single primary user, which transmits phase shift keying (PSK) modulated signals. The sample covariance matrix is aWishart matrix under both the noise only and the signal plus noise hypothesis under this model. For K = 2, we derive the exact PDFs for the MMME detector under both hypotheses for a finite number of samples N taken. Then, we compare the performance of the MMME detector and the maximum-minimum eigenvalue (MME) detector aided by exact PDFs available in the literature for this model. Finally, we analyze the noise power uncertainty tolerance margin of the MMME detector under which it shows superior performance to the MME detector.","PeriodicalId":383105,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128934798","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 reality, EHDs are affected by several inefficiencies, e.g., energy leakage, battery degradation or storage losses. In this work we consider an energy harvesting transmitter with storage inefficiencies. In particular, we assume that when new energy has to be stored in the battery, part of this is wasted and the losses depend upon the current state of charge of the device. This is a practical realistic assumption, e.g., for a capacitor, that changes the structure of the optimal transmission policy. We analyze the throughput maximization problem with a dynamic programming approach and prove that, given the battery status and the channel gain, the optimal transmission policy is deterministic. We derive numerical results for the energy losses in a capacitor and show the presence of a loop effect that degrades the system performance if the optimal policy is not considered.","PeriodicalId":383105,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131036222","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}

Due to practical relevance, half-duplex relays are considered. Regarding the MAC, non-orthogonal channel access and orthogonal access, where the source is only active in the broadcast phase, will be distinguished. The emphasis of this paper lies on the achievable Decode and Forward (DF) rates subject to different energy constraints exploiting the degrees of freedom available for power and time allocation. These degrees of freedom are influenced by practical constraints, e.g. , whether source and relay have a local or common power supply. Furthermore, this work takes imperfect synchronization of source and relay into account. It will be shown that orthogonal channel access will approach the maximum achievable DF rate for relay positions close to the destination as well as that distributed Beamforming (dBF) in the presence of phase deviations is still valuable.","PeriodicalId":383105,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128372736","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}

It supports two-dimensional antenna arrays and enables to scrutinize concepts such as elevation beamforming and Full Dimension-Multiple Input Multiple Output. However, existing studies have mainly been carried out with commercial tools, thus largely limiting their reproducibility. This paper provides a guideline for the practical implementation of the 3D channel model into existing link- and system level simulation tools.

In our scheme, several mobile users transmit their data over an RF link to a relay node (e.g. a small cell base station) and the relay forwards the information to a destination (e.g. a macro cell base station) over a hybrid RF/FSO backhaul link. The RF links are full-duplex with respect to the FSO link and half-duplex with respect to each other, i.e., either the user-relay RF link or the relay-destination RF link is active. Depending on the channel statistics, the q-duplex relaying protocol may reduce to full-duplex relaying, when the quality of the FSO link is sufficiently high, or to half-duplex relaying, when the FSO link becomes unavailable due to severe atmospheric conditions. We derive an analytical expression for the end-to-end outage probability of the proposed protocol when the fading for the user-relay RF link, the relay-destination RF link, and the relay-destination FSO link are modelled as Rayleigh, Ricean, and Gamma-Gamma distributed, respectively. Our simulation results confirm the analytical derivations and reveal the effectiveness of the proposed q-duplex protocol and its superiority compared to existing schemes.","PeriodicalId":383105,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122795970","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}
