A resource allocation algorithm is proposed in this paper to simultaneously minimize the total system power consumption and maximize the system throughput for the downlink of multi-user multiple input multiple output-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems. With the Lagrange dual decomposition method, we transform the original problem to its convex dual problem and prove that the duality gap between the two problems is zero, which means the optimal solution of the original problem can be obtained by solving its dual problem. Then, we use convex optimization method to solve the dual problem and utilize bisection method to obtain the optimal dual variable. The numerical results show that the proposed algorithm is superior to traditional single-objective optimization method in both the system throughput and the system energy consumption.

도심의 빌딩 등 인구밀집지역에서 사용되는 소형 셀 기지국에서는 셀 용량 증대를 위해 이중편파 다중안테나(MIMO)가 주로 사용된다. 본 논문은 이중편파 다중안테나(MIMO)를 사용하는 소형 셀의 용량을 향상시킬 수 있는 높은 교차편파분리도(XPD)를 가지는 이중편파 슬롯 안테나를 제안한다. 제안한 안테나는 평형구조 및 차동 급전회로를 사용하여 교차편파를 효과적으로 억제하고 높은 교차편파분리도(XPD)를 가진다. 또한 두 편파가 동일한 방사특성을 가지게 되어 소형 셀 다중안테나(MIMO) 시스템에 적합한 특성을 가진다. 모의실험, 제작 및 측정결과 제안한 안테나는 반사계수 -10 dB를 기준 180 MHz (2.51~2.7 GHz)의 대역폭, 최대 4.5 dBi 방사이득(3.5~4.5 dBi), 85도의 반 전력 빔폭을 가짐을 확인하였다. 또한 평균 교차편파 분리도(XPD)가 26.4 dB로 기존의 단일방사체에 서로 다른 급전을 이용하는 방법, 스위칭을 통해 편파를 선택적으로 사용하는 방법에 비하여 13.8 dB이상 개선된 특성을 가짐을 확인하였다.

차세대 와이파이 표준기술인 IEEE 802.11ay는 밀리미터파 대역에서 AP (Access Point)가 다수의 STA (Station)로 동시에 데이터를 전송하도록 MU-MIMO (Multiple User Multiple Input Multiple Output) 통신을 지원한다. 이를 위해, 주기적으로 MU-MIMO 빔포밍 훈련을 수행해야 하고, 효율적인 빔포밍 훈련을 위해서는 AP가 다수의 안테나로 다수의 빔을 동시에 전송할 때, 각 STA에서 측정되는 신호 세기를 정확히 예측하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 딥러닝 기반 다중 빔 전송링크 성능 예측기법을 제안한다. 제안한 예측기법은 특정 실내 또는 실외 환경에서 미리 학습된 딥러닝 모델을 이용하여 다수의 빔이 동시에 전송될 때 STA에서 측정되는 신호 세기 예측의 정확성을 높인다. 이때, 딥러닝의 입력으로 개별 빔이 전송될 때 STA에서 측정되는 신호 세기 정보를 이용하고, 개별 빔의 신호 세기 정보를 얻는 과정은 이미 기존의 빔포밍 훈련에 포함되어 있으므로 정보 수집을 위해 추가적인 비용을 발생하지 않는다. 성능평가를 위해 NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)에 의해 개발된 Q-D 채널구현 (Quasi-Deterministic Channel Realization) 오픈소스 소프트웨어를 활용하였고 실측 데이터 기반으로 밀리미터파 채널을 구현하였다. 실험결과에서는 제안한 예측기법이 다른 비교기법보다 향상된 예측성능을 보였다.

In this paper, the effective capacity of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system in two different cases with receive antenna selection (RAS) and transmit antenna selection (TAS) schemes is investigated. A closed-form solution for the maximum constant arrival rate of this network with statistical delay quality of service (QoS) constraint is extracted in the quasi-static fading channel. This study is conducted in two different cases.When channel state information (CSI) is not available at the MIMO transmitter, implementation of TAS is difficult. Therefore, RAS scheme is employed and one antenna with the maximum instantaneous signal to noise ratio is chosen at the receiver. On the other hand, when CSI is available at the transmitter, TAS scheme is executed. In this case, one antenna is selected at the transmitter. Moreover, an optimal power-control policy is applied to the selected antenna and the effective capacity of the MIMO system is derived. Finally, this optimal power adaptation and the effective capacity are investigated in two asymptotic cases with the loose and strict QoS requirements. In particular, we show that in the TAS scheme with the loose QoS restriction, the effective capacity converges to the ergodic capacity. Then, an exact closed-form solution is obtained for the ergodic capacity of the channel here.

In this paper, we investigate the impact of hardware impairments (HWIs) on the performance of a downlink massive MIMO system. We consider a single-cell system with maximum ratio transmission (MRT) as precoding scheme, and with all the HWIs characteristics such as phase noise, distortion noise, and amplified thermal noise. Based on the system model, we derive closed-form expressions for a typical user data rate under two scenarios: when a common local oscillator (CLO) is used at the base station and when separated oscillators (SLOs) are used. We also derive closed-form expressions for the downlink transmit power required for some desired per-user data rate under each scenario. Compared to the conventional system with ideal transceiver hardware, our results show that impairments of hardware make a finite upper limit on the user's downlink channel capacity; and as the number of base station antennas grows large, it is only the hardware impairments at the users that mainly limit the capacity. Our results also show that SLOs configuration provides higher data rate than CLO at the price of higher power consumption. An approach to minimize the effect of the hardware impairments on the system performance is also proposed in the paper. In our approach, we show that by reducing the cell size, the effect of accumulated phase noise during channel estimation time is minimized and hence the user capacity is increased, and the downlink transmit power is decreased.

Lenstra-Lenstra-$Lov{\acute{a}}sz$ (LLL) is an effective receiving algorithm for Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems, which is believed can achieve full diversity in MIMO detection of fading channels. However, the LLL algorithm features polynomial complexity and shows poor performance in terms of convergence. The reduction of algorithmic complexity and the acceleration of convergence are key problems in optimizing the LLL algorithm. In this paper, a variant of the LLL algorithm, the Hybrid-Fix-and-Round LLL algorithm, which combines both fix and round measurements in the size reduction procedure, is proposed. By utilizing fix operation, the algorithmic procedure is altered and the size reduction procedure is skipped by the hybrid algorithm with significantly higher probability. As a consequence, the simulation results reveal that the Hybrid-Fix-and-Round-LLL algorithm carries a faster rate of convergence compared to the original LLL algorithm, and its algorithmic complexity is at most one order lower than original LLL algorithm in real field. Comparing to other families of LLL algorithm, Hybrid-Fix-and-Round-LLL algorithm can make a better compromise in performance and algorithmic complexity.

압축 센싱 (Compressive Sensing, CS)은 많은 응용분야에서 유망한 기술로 널리 연구되고 있다. 압축 센싱 이론에 의하면 어떤 특별한 기저에서 성긴 신호 (sparse signal)이라는 것이 알려졌다면 이 신호는 전통적인 방법이 사용하는 샘플 수보다 훨씬 적은 샘플로 최적화 과정을 통해 복원이 가능하다는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 압축 센싱 기술을 균일한 선형 배열로 구성된 다중 입출력 레이더 시스템에 적용하고자 한다. 특별히 압축 센싱 기술을 사용하여 DOA (direction-of-arrival)을 찾는 문제를 고찰하고 그 성능을 전통적인 적응형 다중 입출력 기법의 성능과 비교한다. 모의 실험을 통해 압축 센싱 방법은 전통적인 적응형 다중 입출력 기법에 비해 훨씬 적은 샘플로 비슷한 성능을 보임을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we investigate the performance evaluation of three dimensional (3D) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with an adjustable base station (BS) antenna tilt angle and zero-forcing (ZF) receivers in Ricean/Lognormal fading channels. In particular, we take the lognormal shadow fading, 3D antenna gain with antenna tilt angle and path-loss into account. First, we derive a closed-form lower bound on the sum rate, then we obtain the optimal BS antenna tilt angle based on the derived lower bound, and finally we present linear approximations for the sum rate in high and low-SNR regimes, respectively. Based on our analytical results, we gain valuable insights into the impact of key system parameters, such as the BS antenna tilt angle, the Ricean K-factor and the radius of cell, on the sum rate performance of 3D MIMO with ZF receivers.

Massive (large-scale) MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) is one of the key technologies in next-generation wireless communication systems. This paper proposes a high-performance low-complexity turbo receiver for SC-FDMA (single-carrier frequency-division multiple access) based MMIMO (massive MIMO) systems. Because SC-FDMA technology has the desirable characteristics of OFDMA (orthogonal frequency division multiple access) and the low PAPR (peak-to-average power ratio) of SC transmission schemes, the 3GPP LTE (long-term evolution) has adopted it as the uplink transmission to meet the demand high data rate and low error rate performance. The complexity of computing will be increased greatly in base station with massive MIMO (MMIMO) system. In this paper, a low-complexity adaptive turbo equalization receiver based on normalized minimal symbol-error-rate for MMIMO SC-FDMA system is proposed. The proposed receiver is with low complexity than that of the conventional turbo MMSE (minimum mean square error) equalizer and is also with better bit error rate (BER) performance than that of the conventional adaptive turbo MMSE equalizer. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
