The LMMSE and two variants of the LS estimator are analyzed and the optimal training design and placement strategies are derived. Closed-form expressions are derived for the minimum achievable MSE in each case, which are precisely verified through simulations.","PeriodicalId":436215,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 11th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"21 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":"114730231","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 regard, several contributions investigate the performance improvement of MIMO systems in terms of Shannon's mutual information. In most of these contributions, elements of the MIMO channel matrix are assumed to belong to a multivariate Gaussian distribution. The non Gaussian case, which is realistic in many practical environments, has been much less studied. This contribution is devoted to the study of the mutual information of MIMO channels when the channel matrix elements are Ricean with the non-Ricean component being iid but non-Gaussian. In this context, the mutual information behavior is studied in the large dimensional regime where both channel matrix dimensions converge to infinity at the same pace. In this regime, a Central Limit Theorem on the mutual information is provided. In particular, the mutual information variance is determined in terms of the parameters of the channel statistical model. Since non Gaussian entries are allowed, a new term proportional to the fourth cumulant of their distribution arises in the expression of the asymptotic variance. In addition, a bias term proportional to this fourth order cumulant appears.","PeriodicalId":436215,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 11th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"36 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":"124759948","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 aim of the combined BS assignment and downlink beamforming is to minimize sum power while guaranteeing a minimum SINR per user. A major finding is that a simple ZF beamforming with the optimal decentralized BS assignment, and with limited backhaul information exchange obtains near optimal performance near the cell edge when the user-specific SINR targets are high. Thus, only marginal gains are available from more complex BS assignment and beamforming approaches. However, in the case of low user-specific SINR targets, there is a significant gain available at the cell edge from the optimal beamforming and BS assignment. For example, a simple maximum channel norm selection based BS assignment method with the optimal minimum power beamforming can obtain much of this gain.","PeriodicalId":436215,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 11th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"35 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":"129963173","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 that the shift-orthogonal basis can be well approximated using the Zak transform whenever the initial pulse fulfils certain conditions. This method can be efficiently implemented with the discrete Fourier transform. Furthermore we discuss the existence of compactly supported shift-orthogonal pulses, which are desirable for pulse position modulation.","PeriodicalId":436215,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 11th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"73 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":"130135874","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 also present a basis optimization method for enhancing group sparsity. Statistical knowledge about the channel can be incorporated in the basis optimization if available.

In this scheme, we have employed orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) type pre-coding at the source node to combat multipath fading and timing errors from relay nodes by using cyclic prefix insertion for the broadcasted and relayed signals. To reduce the feedback overhead significantly we have proposed a quantized group feedback approach which can enhance the system performance.
