We investigate the opposite of artificial noise (AN)-assisted communication in multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) wiretap channels for the multiuser case by taking the side of the eavesdropper. We first define a framework for an AN-assisted multiuser multiple-input-multiple-output (MU-MIMO) system, for which eavesdropping methods are proposed with and without knowledge of legitimate users' channel state information (CSI). The proposed method without CSI is based on a modified joint approximate diagonalization of eigen-matrices algorithm, which eliminates permutation indetermination and phase ambiguity, as well as the minimum description length algorithm, which blindly estimates the number of secret data sources. Simulation results show that both proposed methods can intercept information effectively. In addition, the proposed method without legitimate users' CSI performs well in terms of robustness and computational complexity.

채널 상태 정보 (Channel State Information, CSI)를 사용하지 않는 비동기식 복조기를 위한 다중 격자 부호화 연속 위상 주파수 변조 방식 (Multiple Trellis Coded Modulation applied to Continuous Phase Frequency Shift Keying, MTCM/CPFSK)의 성능을 비상관적인 라이시안 페이딩 채널상에서 분석하였다. 복조기에서 신호 판별에 적합한 척도(metric)로 수신 신호와 후보 신호 사이의 제곱 교차 상관값 (squared cross-correlation)을 사용하였으며, 이 때 신호쌍 오류(Pairwise Error Probability, PEP)를 구하였다. 또한, PEP를 이용하여 신호 사이의 등가 정규화 기하 제곱 거리 (Equivalent Normalized Squared Distance, ENSD)를 구하고, 완벽한 CSI를 사용하는 비동기식 MTCM/CPFSK의 ENSD와 비교하였다. 마지막으로, PEP를 변환 함수 상한법(Transfer Function Bounding, TFB)에 대입하여 각각의 방법에 의해 구해진 이론적인 비트 오류 성능(Bit Error Rate, BER)을 비교하고, 모의실험 결과를 통하여 검증하였다.

본 논문은 DVB-T(Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial) 방송 시스템에서 사용되고 있는 전송방식인 COFDM 복조기에서의 디매퍼의 성능 개선 방법에 관한 것이다. BER의 관점에서 보는 시스템의 성능을 높이기 위하여 pilots정보를 바탕으로 채널상태정보를 생성시켜 이를 이용하는 디매핑 방법을 제안하였다. 채널상태정보는 수신된 캐리어들 중의 pilots 캐리어로부터 얻을 수 있는데, 이것은 바로 수신된 데이터 캐리어의 SNR로 정의된다. DVB-T의 표준 fading 채널 환경의 실험을 통한 BER을 측정한 결과 각종 모드에서 기존의 soft decision방법보다 우수한 성능을 나타내었다.

Channel estimation and data detection for OFDM systems over time- and frequency-selective channels are investigated. Relying on the complex exponential basis expansion channel model, a pilot-embedded channel estimation scheme with low computational complexity and spectral efficiency is proposed. A periodic pilot sequence is superimposed at a low power on information bearing sequence at the transmitter before modulation and transmission. The channel state information(CSI) can be estimated using the first-order statistics of the received data. In order to enhance the performance of channel estimation, we recover the transmitted data which can be exploited to estimate CSI iteratively. Simulation results show that the proposed method is suitable for doubly-selective channel estimation for the OFDM systems and the performance of the proposed method can be better than that of the Wiener filter method under some conditions. Through simulations, we also analyze the factors which can affect the system performances.

The frequency spectrum available for the wireless communication is extremely crowded. In order to improve the spectral efficiency, the two-way relay networks have aroused great attention. A simple $N^{th}$ best-relay selection criterion for the opportunistic two-way relay networks is proposed, which can be implemented easily by extending the distributed timer technique in practice, since the proposed criterion is mainly based on the channel gains. The outage performance of the proposed relay selection scheme is analyzed under the outdated channel state information (CSI), and a tight closed-form lower bound and asymptotic value of the outage probability over Rayleigh fading channels are obtained. Simulation results demonstrate that the tight closed-form lower bound of the outage probability very closely matches with simulated ones in the whole SNR region, and the asymptotic results provide good tight approximations to the simulation ones, especially in the high SNR region.

We consider multiple-input multiple-output decode-and-forward relay systems in Rayleigh fading channels under the partial channel state information (CSI) that the channel statistics of the source-relay (SR) link and the instantaneous CSI of the source-destination and relay-destination links are known at the destination. In this paper, we propose a new near maximum likelihood (near-ML) decoder with two-level pairwise error probability (near-ML-2PEP) which uses the average PEP instead of the exact PEP. Then, we theoretically prove that the near-ML and near-ML-2PEP decoders achieve the maximum diversity, which is confirmed by Monte Carlo simulations. Moreover, we show that the near-ML-2PEP decoder can also achieve the maximum diversity by substituting the average PEP with the values that represent the error performance of the SR link.

For multi-cell environments, coordinated random beamforming technique in multiuser MIMO(multiple-input multiple-output) broadcast channel is considered. In order to mitigate severe interference at receivers, the multi-cell environments might require complex transmitter and receiver design because the scheduler decision based on full channel state information (CSI) in one cell must be intertwined with decision made by other cells' CSI. With limited CSI, however, this paper considers a scheme of randomizing transmitters' beamforming but being coordinated with other cell transmitters. The transmitters in each cell share random beamforming patterns and schedule data transmission within coherent scheduling period. The corandomized beams allow the users to be selected with the highest SINRs even in multi-cell environments. We analyze the performance of the proposed scheme. And numerical results show that the scheme achieves better performance than the conventional random beamforming when applying to multi-cell environments.

Block diagonalization (BD) has been proposed as a simple and effective technique in multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) broadcast channels. However, when channel state information (CSI) knowledge is limited at the transmitter, the performance of the BD may be degraded because inter-user interference cannot be completely eliminated. In this paper, we propose an efficient CSI quantization technique for BD precoded systems with limited feedback where users supported by a base station are selected by dynamic scheduling. First, we express the received signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) when multiple data streams are transmitted to the user, and derive a lower bound expression of the expected received SINR at each user. Then, based on this measure, each user determines its quantized CSI feedback information which maximizes the derived expected SINR, which comprises both the channel direction and the amplitude information. From simulations, we confirm that the proposed SINR-based channel quantization scheme achieves a significant sum rate gain over the conventional method in practical MU-MIMO systems.

In this paper, we consider a source node that operates over a time varying channel with energy harvesting capability. The goal of the source is to maximize the average number of successfully delivered packets per time slot. The source is able to choose whether to transmit a packet or defer the transmission in each time slot. The decision which is chosen by the source depends on the channel information available and the length of the energy queue. We formulate the problem of finding the optimal policy as a Markovian decision problem. We show some properties of the value function that represents the discounted number of successfully delivered packets per time slot. We prove that the optimal policy is a threshold type policy depending on the state of the channel and the length of the energy queue. We also derive an upper bound for the average number of packets per time slots successfully received by the destination. We show using numerical results that this bound is a tight bound on the performance of the optimal policy. And we consider the case of time varying channel but without channel state information (CSI). Then, we study the impact of channel time varying nature and the availability of CSI. In this case, we show that the optimal policy is a greedy policy. The performance of this greedy policy is also calculated.
