In order to improve the coverage and achieve massive spectrum access, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technology is applied in millimeter wave massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) communication network. However, the power assumption of active sensors greatly limits its wide applications. Recently, Intelligent Reconfigurable Surface (IRS) technology has received wide attention due to its ability to reduce power consumption and achieve passive transmission. In this paper, spectral efficiency maximum problem in the millimeter wave mMIMO-NOMA system with IRS is considered. The sparse RF chain antenna structure is designed at the base station based on continuous phase modulation. Furthermore, a joint optimization problem for power allocation, power splitting, analog precoding and IRS reconfigurable matrices are constructed, which aim to achieve the maximum spectral efficiency of the system under the constraints of user's quality of service, minimum energy harvesting and total transmit power. A three-stage iterative algorithm is proposed to solve the above mentioned non-convex optimization problems. We obtain the local optimal solution by fixing some optimization parameters firstly, then introduce the relaxation variables to realize the global optimal solution. Simulation results show that the spectral efficiency of the proposed scheme is superior compared to the conventional system with phase shifter modulation. It is also demonstrated that IRS can effectively assist mmWave communication and improve the system spectral efficiency.

Three-dimensional multiple-input multiple-output (3D MIMO) and large-scale MIMO are two promising technologies for upcoming high data rate wireless communications, since the inter-user interference can be reduced by exploiting antenna vertical gain and degree of freedom, respectively. In this paper, we derive the achievable sum rate of 3D MIMO systems employing zero-forcing (ZF) receivers, accounting for log-normal shadowing fading, path-loss and antenna gain. In particular, we consider the prevalent log-normal model and propose a novel closed-form lower bound on the achievable sum rate exploiting elevation features. Using the lower bound as a starting point, we pursue the "large-system" analysis and derive a closed-form expression when the number of antennas grows large for fixed average transmit power and fixed total transmit power schemes. We further model a high-building with several floors. Due to the floor height, different floors correspond to different elevation angles. Therefore, the asymptotic achievable sum rate performances for each floor and the whole building considering the elevation features are analyzed and the effects of tilt angle and user distribution for both horizontal and vertical dimensions are discussed. Finally, the relationship between the achievable sum rate and the number of users is investigated and the optimal number of users to maximize the sum rate performance is determined.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive-perturbation-aided opportunistic precoding (APOP) scheme for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. To update a precoding matrix in MIMO systems, the proposed algorithm produces a random perturbation in each time slot. Then the additional adaptive perturbation is also applied, which depends on the reports of achievable data-rates from users. If the prior random perturbation increased the data rate, the adaptive perturbation is set to be the same as the prior random perturbation, otherwise the negative value of the prior random perturbation is applied for adaptive perturbation. Furthermore, to enhance the achievable data rates, the information on the stored precoding matrices in the memory as well as the currently generated precoding matrix is used for scheduling. Simulation results show that compared to conventional opportunistic precoding schemes, higher data rates are achieved by the proposed APOP scheme, especially when there are a relatively small number of users.

This paper proposes the efficient transmit antenna selection (TAS) scheme considering trade-off between the performance and the complexity in massive MIMO system. The massive MIMO system is a core technology to achieve performance objectives for 5 generation wireless communication. It achieve high spectral efficiency, a reliability, and a diversity gain. However many RF chains required by massive transmit antennas equipped in a base station create the problem such as high hardware cost and complexity. Therefor we investigates the transmit antenna selection scheme, in which the number of RF chains of BS is reduced, and the trade-off between the performance and the complexity is considered for proposed scheme. And, the spectral efficiency and complexity are analysed by transmit antenna selection schemes.

Exploiting multiple antennas at mobile devices is difficult due to limited size and power. In this paper, a distributed MIMO protocol achieving the capacity of conventinal MIMO systems is proposed and analyzed. For exploiting distributed MIMO features, Quantize-Map-and-Forward (QMF) scheme shows improved performance than Amplify-and-Forward (AF) scheme. Also, the protocol based on multiple access channel (MAC) is proposed to improve the multiplexing gain. We showed that sufficient condition of the number of slave nodes to achieve the gain of a MAC based protocol. Because the base station can support multiple clusters operating in distributed MIMO, the total cellular capacity can be extremely enhanced in proportional to the number of clusters.

A novel compact pattern diversity slot antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) and Bluetooth applications is presented. This antenna consists of two modified coplanar waveguides that feed staircase-shaped radiating elements, wherein two different fork-like stubs are placed at the $45{\circ}$ axis. The measured results show that this proposed antenna operates from 2.3 GHz to 12.5 GHz, covering Bluetooth, WLAN, WiMAX, and UWB. The performance of radiation patterns and the corresponding envelope correlation coefficient prove this antenna is suitable for MIMO/diversity systems. Also, the antenna's compact size makes it a good candidate for portable devices.

This letter analyzes the performance of a two-hop MIMO multiuser relay network with a fixed gain amplify-and-forward protocol and antenna selection at the transmitter and receiver. A new expression for the cumulative distribution function of the highest instantaneous end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio is derived. Based on the above result, closed-form expressions for outage probability and bit error rate are presented. Also, the diversity order of the system is determined. Finally, computer simulations are compared to the analytical results, and insights and observations are provided.

In this paper, an low power symbol detector is proposed for MIMO communication system with two transmit and two receive antennas. The proposed symbol detector can support both the spatial multiplexing (SM) mode and spatial diversity (SD) mode for MIMO transmission technique, and shows the optimal maximum likelihood (ML) performance. Also, by sharing the hardware block and using the dedicated clock MIMO modes, the power of the proposed architecture is dramatically decreased. The proposed symbol detector was designed in hardware description language (HDL) and synthesized to logic gates using a $0.13-{\mu}m$ CMOS standard cell library. The power consumption was estimated by using Synopsys Power CompilerTM, which is reduced by maximum 85%, compared with the conventional architecture.

In order to improve a total system throughput when a base station (BS) transmits data to user equipments (UEs), we propose a scheme to apply multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO), space-time block coding (STBC), and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) together. An MU-MIMO is applied to two UEs near the BS and STBC is applied to a UE far from the BS because of the difficulty of obtaining the channel information. Also NOMA is applied to differentiate the data from the near UE and the far UE. Two orthognal precoding vectors are used for the MU-MIMO UEs and it causes no interference between them. The STBC technique with the two procoding vectors are also used for the far UEs. Through performance analysis and simulation, we show that the proposed scheme has higher total system throughput than the conventional ones.

This paper describes a VLSI implementation of BLAST detection for MIMO-OFDM systems. To achieve high speed requirement, we propose the fully pipeline architecture for BLAST structure. This design is implemented using $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. For a 4-transmit and 4-receive antennas system, it takes $7.5{\mu}s$ to calculate nulling vector and detection order from 48 channel matrixes.
