본 논문은 다중 셀 다중입력 단일 출력 (MISO : multiple-input single-output) 하향링크 능동 안테나 시스템 (AAS : active antenna systems)에서 기지국의 수직 각도를 최적화하는 새로운 기법을 제시한다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 전역 탐색 방식 대신 간단하면서 최적의 값에 근사한 알고리듬들을 제안한다. 먼저, random matrix theory의 특성을 반영하여 평균 전송용량에 large system approximation이 적용된 수직적 빔포밍 알고리듬을 소개한다. 다음으로, signal-to-leakage-and-noise ratio (SLNR)을 기반으로 최적화 문제를 간단하게 만드는 수직적 빔포밍 알고리듬을 제안한다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안된 알고리듬들의 성능이 기존의 전역 탐색 알고리듬에 비해 복잡도가 매우 감소됨에도 불구하고 거의 비슷한 성능을 보임을 증명하였다.

이 논문에서는 MISO 하향 능동 안테나 시스템에서 수직 분할 기법을 연구하였다. 능동 안테나 시스템에서는 각 섹터에서 안테나 빔 패턴을 조절 가능 할 뿐만 아니라 복수의 수직 안테나 빔을 통해 수직 섹터분할도 가능하다. 수직 섹터 분할을 위한 최적 빔 기울기를 구하기 위해 기존의 전역 탐색 기법은 매우 높은 계산 복잡도를 요구하기 때문에 이 논문에서는 이러한 계산 복잡도를 낮추기 위해 두 가지 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 먼저 불규칙 행렬이론에서의 광범위 시스템 근사치를 이용하여 근사 전송률 합에 기반을 둔 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한, 기존의 하나의 섹터 전송 기법에서의 결과를 이용한 폐쇄 형태 표현을 가진 알고리즘도 제안하였다. 실험결과를 통해 제안된 알고리즘들이 기존의 전역 탐색 알고리즘에 비해 복잡도를 매우 감소시킴에도 불구하고 거의 비슷한 성능을 가짐을 확인하였다.

When operating in frequency-division duplex (FDD) mode, transmit beamforming in multiple-input single-output (MISO) wireless communication systems typically requires accurate knowledge of downlink channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter. In practical FDD systems, obtaining such downlink CSI at the transmitter is challenging, if not impractical. To circumvent such challenge and support user mobility, we present a new method for transmit beamforming based on simple beam-control commands (BCCs) in MISO FDD mobile systems. We then numerically evaluate the effects of BCC errors in terms of transmit power efficiency, system capacity, and outage probability.

This paper introduces the downlink Eigen-beamformer with Space-Time Block Code (STBC)[1,2] employed on the MISO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) systems. The proposed scheme is acquired both transmit diversity gain from STBC and beamforming gain from Eigen-beamformer. In general, it is well described that the diversity gain be maximized when channel parameters associated to fingers are mutually independent. Major role of utilizing Eigen-beamformer is to enforce channel parameters being uncorrelated. According to this, the proposed STBC combined with Eigen-beamformer on the downlink significantly improves its performance under the spatially correlated channel. Simulation results are accomplished under three distinct channels conditioned with varying the degree of their correlations. The result indicates that our proposed scheme is good performance in spatially correlated channel.

In this paper, we focus on the total transmission power minimization problem for downlink beamforming multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems while ensuring each user's QoS requirement. Although the linear integer programming (LIP) solution we formulate provides the performance upper bound of the margin adaptive (MA) optimization problem, it is hard to be implemented in practice due to its high computational complexity. By regarding each user's equivalent channel gain as approximate independent values and using iterative descent method, we present a heuristic MA resource allocation algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm efficiently converges to the local optimum, which is very close to the performance of the optimal LIP solution. Compared with existing space division multiple access (SDMA) OFDM systems with or without adaptive resource allocation, the proposed algorithm achieves significant performance improvement by exploiting the frequency diversity and multi-user diversity in downlink multiple-input single-output (MISO) OFDM systems.

In this paper, the Eigen-RAKE receiver in wideband direct sequence code-division multiple access(DS-CDMA) systems with downlink smart antenna is analyzed for different spreading bandwidths(1.25 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz) and different channel environments(macro, micro). The realistic spatio-temporal wideband multipath channel is assumed, one of which is standardized multiple-input single-output(MISO) radio channel model for WCDMA link-level simulations proposed by $3^{rd}$ generation partnership project(3GPP) contributions. We assumed spatial scattering phenomenon in which many unresolvable path signals within a limited range of spatial angle simultaneously contribute to the signals received at the receiver. Several multipaths within one chip are distinguished into each one and the first multipath components are selected as the desired signal and the others are considered self-interference. Downlink DS-CDMA system with eigenbeamformer using wider bandwidth present better performance than that using narrow bandwidth system by employing Eigen-RAKE receiver of many number of branches. It is shown that the downlink eigenbeamformer is more effective in typical urban macro cellular environments when using Eigen-RAKE receiver.

Performance of downlink transmission strategies exploiting cooperative transmit diversity is investigated for distributed multiple-input single-output (MISO) systems, for which geographically distributed remote antennas (RA) in a cell can either communicate with distinct mobile stations (MS) or cooperate for a common MS. Statistical characteristics in terms of the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and the achievable capacity are analyzed for both cooperative and non-cooperative transmission schemes, and the preferred mode of operation for given channel conditions is presented using the analysis result. In particular, we determine an exact amount of the maximum achievable gain in capacity when RAs for signal transmission are selected based on the instantaneous channel condition, by deriving a general expression for the SINR of such antenna selection based transmission. For important special cases of selecting a single RA for non-cooperative transmission and selecting two RAs for cooperative transmission among three RAs surrounding the MS, closed-form formulas are presented for the SINR and capacity distributions.

다중 안테나 전송은 단일 셀 환경에서 큰 성능 이득을 제공하는 반면에 다중셀 환경에서는 간섭에 의해서 다중 안테나의 이득이 많이 사라지게 된다. 또한, 다중셀 환경에서 효율적인 빔 형성 방법을 계산하는 것은 여전히 어려운 문제중에 하나이다. 먼저 이 논문에서는 다중셀 환경에서 점근적으로 낮은 SNR과 높은 SNR에서 최적의 하향링크 빔행성 방법이 MRT 빔형성과 ZF 빔형성임을 보인다. 둘째, 이 점근적 최적 빔 형성 결과를 이용하여 쌍대 역방향 문제로부터 얻어진 MMSE 빔형성 형태를 갖는 두가지의 준최적 하향 빔형성 방식을 제안한다. 각 빔 형성 방식에 대해서 복잡도에 띠라서 세가지의 다른 부클래스 알고리즘을 고려한다. 모의 실험을 통하여 제안된 준 최적 알고리듬은 복잡도와 성능 사이에 트레이드 오프를 제공함을 보인다.

This paper investigates a protocol so-called Adaptive Harvest Then Transmit (AHTT) for wireless powered communication networks (WPCNs) in multiple-input single-output (MISO) downlink systems, which assists in transmitting signals from a multi-antenna transmitter to a single-antenna receiver. Particularly, the power constrained relay is supplied with power by utilizing radio frequency (RF) signals from the source. In order to take advantage of multiple antennas, two different linear processing schemes, including Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) and Selection Combination (SC) are studied. The system outage capacity and ergodic capacity are evaluated for performance analysis. Furthermore, the optimal power allocation is also considered. Our numerical and simulation results prove that the implementation of multiple antennas helps boost the energy harvesting capability. Therefore, this paper puts forward a new way to the energy efficiency (EE) enhancement, which contributes to better system performance.
