In this paper, the performance of precoding-aided differential spatial modulation (PDSM) systems with optimal transmit antenna subset (TAS) selection is examined analytically. The average bit error rate (ABER) performance of the optimal TAS selection-based PDSM systems using a zero-forcing (ZF) precoder is evaluated using theoretical upper bound and Monte Carlo simulations. Simulation results validate the analysis and demonstrate a performance penalty < 2.6 dB compared with precoding-aided spatial modulation (PSM) with optimal TAS selection. The performance analysis reveals a transmit diversity gain of (N_T-N_R+1) for the ZF-based PDSM (ZF-PDSM) systems that employ TAS selection with N_T transmit antennas, N_S selected transmit antennas, and N_R receive antennas. It is also shown that reducing the number of activated transmit antennas via optimal TAS selection in the ZF-PDSM systems degrades ABER performance. In addition, the impacts of channel estimation errors on the performance of the ZF-PDSM system with TAS selection are evaluated, and the performance of this system is compared with that of ZF-based PSM with TAS selection.

This paper applies transmit antenna selection algorithms to spatial-temporal combining-based spatial multiplexing (SM) ultra-wideband (UWB) systems. The employed criterion is based on the largest minimum output signal-to-noise ratio of the multiplexed streams. It is shown via simulations that the bit error rate (BER) performance of the SM UWB systems based on the two-dimensional Rake receiver is significantly improved by antenna diversity through transmit antenna selection on a log-normal multipath fading channel. When the transmit antenna diversity through antenna selection is exploited in the SM UWB systems, the BER performance of the spatial-temporal combining-based zero-forcing (ZF) receiver is also compared with that of the ZF detector followed by the Rake receiver.

We consider transmit antenna selection combined with power allocation for quadrature spatial modulation (QSM) systems to improve the error rate performance. The Euclidean distance-based joint optimization criterion is presented for transmit antenna selection and power allocation in QSM. It requires an exhaustive search and thus high computational complexity. Thus its reduced-complexity algorithm is proposed with a strategy of decoupling, which is employed to successively find transmit antennas and power allocation factors. First, transmit antennas are selected without considering power allocation. After selecting transmit antennas, power allocation factors are determined. Simulation results demonstrate considerable performance gains with lower complexity for transmit antenna selected QSM systems with power allocation, which can be achieved with limited rate feedback.

차세대 무선 통신 시스템에서는 높은 주파수 효율을 얻기 위해 다중 송수신 안테나(Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) 시스템을 갖는 공간 다중화(spatial multiplexing) 기술이 사용될 것이다. 다중 송수신 안테나 시스템은 비용과 복잡성을 줄이기 위해 송신 안테나 혹은 수신 안테나 중에서 이용 가능한 부 집합(sub-set)의 안테나만을 선택하는 것이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 다중경로를 가지는 다중 송수신 안테나 시스템에 적합한 송신 안테나 선택 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 송신 안테나 선택 기법을 사용한 MIMO 시스템은 안테나 선택 기법을 사용하지 않은 시스템과 기존 제안된 송신 안테나 선택 기법을 사용한 시스템보다 더 나은 비트 오류율(BER) 성능을 얻을 수 있다.

Transmit antenna selection techniques are prominent since they exploit the spatial selectivity at the transmitter side. In the literature, antenna selection techniques assume full knowledge of the channel state information (CSI). In this paper, we consider that the CSI is not perfectly known at the transmitter; however, a quantized version of the channel coefficients is fed back by the users. We employ the non-uniform Lloyd-Max quantization algorithm which takes into consideration the distribution of the channel coefficients. Simulation results show that the degradation in the BER of the system with imperfect CSI at the transmitter is tolerable, especially when the transmit diversity order is high.

DSTTD(double space time transmit diversity) 시스템을 위한 새로운 안테나 선택과 뒤섞는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 안테나 뒤섞는 방법만을 이용하는 기존 DSTTD 방식과 다르게 여러 신호를 동일한 안테나로 송신하는 것을 허용한다. 이러한 기법을 통하면 기존 방법에 비해 1.8 dB 정도의 신호 대 잡음비 이득을 얻을 수 있다. 제안찬 기법의 단점으로 안테나 선택과 뒤섞는 가짓수가 단순히 뒤섞기만 수행한 가짓수에 비해 많다는 것인데 이를 성능 열화 거의 없이 여섯 가지로 줄일 수 있음을 보인다. 제안한 방식을 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통하여 비교한 결과, 기존 DSTTD 방식뿐만 아니라 기존 시공간 블록 코드(space time block code: STBC)와 공간 다중화(spatial multiplexing) 방식보다도 우수함을 확인 할 수 있었다.

In this work, an efficient transmit antenna selection approach for the quadrature spatial modulation (QSM) systems is proposed. The conventional Euclidean distance antenna selection (EDAS)-based schemes in QSM have too high computational complexity for practical use. The proposed antenna selection algorithm is based on approximation of the EDAS decision metric employed for QSM. The elimination of imaginary parts in the decision metric enables decoupling of the approximated decision metric, which enormously reduces the complexity. The proposed method is also evaluated via simulations in terms of symbol error rate (SER) performance and compared with the conventional EDAS methods in QSM systems.

For dual-hop multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) decode-and-forward relaying systems, we propose a selective relaying scheme that uses orthogonal space-time block code (OSTBC) and transmit antenna selection with maximal-ratio combining (TAS/MRC) or vice versa at the first and second hops, respectively. The aim is to achieve an asymptotically identical performance to the dual-hop relaying system with only TAS/MRC, while requiring lower feedback overhead. In particular, we give the selection criteria based on the antenna configurations and the average channel powers for the first and second hops, assuming Rayleigh fading channels. Also, the numerical results are shown for the outage performance comparison between the dual-hop DF relaying systems with the proposed scheme, only TAS/MRC, and only OSTBC.

본 논문은 순차적인 간섭제거와 전송 안테나 별 전송률을 제어하는 공간 다중화 전송 MIMO 시스템에서 채널환경에 따라 전송에 사용되는 안테나를 선택하고 데이터 율을 조절하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 수신기에서 전송에 사용될 송신 안테나 및 전송률을 결정하고, 이는 각 송신 안테나 별 전송률에 대한 피드백 채널을 통해 송신기로 전송된다. 본 연구에서는 각 단계에서 최소의 SINR을 가지는 안테나를 제거해가는 연속적인 단계들로 이루어진 직렬 결정 방식을 제안한다. 또한, 각 연속적인 심볼 추정 단계에서 가장 낮은 신호 대 간섭 비를 갖는 심볼을 먼저 추정하는 "reverse detection ordering"이 각 안테나에 할당되는 용량 차이를 증가시킴으로서 안테나 선택에 의한 이득을 증가시킴을 보인다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안된 "reverse detection ordering"을 기반으로 하는 직렬 결정 방식이 낮은 복잡도을 가지면서 heuristic 방식과 비슷한 용량을 제공함을 보여준다.

This paper investigates the outage behavior of peak interference power limited cognitive radio (CR) networks with multiple transmit antennas. In CR-multi-input single-output (MISO) channel, the total transmit power is distributed over the transmitantennas. First, we use the orthogonal space-time codes (STC) to achieve the transmit diversity at CR-receiver (rx) and investigate the effect of the power distribution on the interference power received at the primary-receiver (P-rx). Then, we investigate the transmit antenna selection (TAS) scheme in which the CR system selects the best transmit antenna and allocates all the power to the selected best antenna. Two transmit antenna selection strategies are proposed depending on if feedback channel is available or not. We derive the closed form expressions of outage probability and outage capacity of all schemes with arbitrary number of transmit-antennas. We show that the proposed schemes significantly improve the outage capacity over the single antenna systems in Rayleigh fading environment. We also show that TAS based scheme outperforms the STC based scheme when peak interference power constraint is imposed on the P-rx only if a feedback channel from CR-rx to CR-transmitter is available.
