For such systems, we study the particular case where, in order to minimize overhead, each of N relays decide independently whether to join the cooperation with basis on the received signal as compared to a certain threshold. Since in such a scheme the number of active relays K at a given realization is random, the channel becomes a random set relay channel (RSRC). The mutual information (MI) of AF-DSTBC in the RSRC are analyzed, addressing the ergodic delay-tolerant case. Results on MI are given in the form of three different upper bounds, each offering a different trade-offs of complexity and closeness. It is found that the maximal MI is not achieved under full-time-all-relay cooperation (K = N), even if the total power at the receiver increases with K. It is also shown that the optimum power allocation depends on the threshold, such that the MI is maximized not under equal power allocation, but rather when more power is allocated to the second stage (relaying).","PeriodicalId":436215,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 11th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128443948","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, the interference cancellation comes at the cost of reduced number of degrees of freedom for users. We present in this contribution a new block diagonalization extension that increases the number of degrees of freedom for a subset of preferred terminals using an algebraic parameter. We show how this extension can be used in resource allocation in order to provide a better rate for high priority users without increasing the transmit power. With this scheme, the new algebraic parameter is used in addition to the transmit power in order to provide different priorities to the served users. Also, we investigate two low complexity approaches to exploit block diagonalization techniques in OFDMA scenarios by calculating one precoder for a chunk of sub-carriers. We compare these two methods in terms of sum capacity and sensitivity to the new parameter.","PeriodicalId":436215,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 11th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128936861","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}

After the Intermediate Frequency (IF) down-conversion stage, the signals are sampled and all the other demodulation tasks are assigned to a Digital Signal Processor (DSP). In this paper we concentrate on only one Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) signal. After reduction of the communication chain to a linear model, the issue of proper sampling rate choice is addressed. It is shown how improper sampling rate can lead to a poorly conditioned problem that causes symbol cancelations and poor performances. In the analysis the role of the device noise at the input of the ADC is also addressed by computing autocorrelation and Power Spectral Density (PSD) after undersampling. Some simulations confirm the analysis.","PeriodicalId":436215,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 11th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126311946","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 propose an iterative algorithm that efficiently solves the optimization problem. The algorithm successively removes the worst branches and thereby constructs a reduced trellis code that is matched to the channel. The second contribution of this paper are tight lower bounds for the mutual information rate (MIR) of Markov sources on ISI channels with finite input and output alphabets. The bounds can be evaluated within a small trellis window without using Monte Carlo methods.","PeriodicalId":436215,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 11th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127862994","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}

Unfortunately, the likelihood function turns out to be multi-modal and thus finding the global maxima is challenging. We rely on spectral factorization and the cyclostationarity of the output to obtain the correct channel zeros.
