In this paper, we propose a decoding method that improves the transmission rate and reliability by integrating MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output) communication scheme using turbo code and FTN(Faster Than Nyquist) scheme among high rate and high reliability wireless communication schemes in wireless communication. The existing MIMO-FTN(Multiple Input Multiple Output-Faster Than Nyquist) scheme based on hierarchical space-time coded method induced data rate loss due to the application of the space-time trellis coding scheme to remove adjacent symbol interference due to FTN scheme. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a method using W-ZF(Weighted-Zero Forcing) which overcomes the disadvantages of ZF(Zero Forcing) scheme in MIMO-FTN scheme using ZF scheme. In this paper, we compared the performance and the transmission rate of the MIMO-FTN scheme based on the hierarchical space-time coding, the MIMO-FTN scheme using W-ZF and the SISO-FTN scheme. As a result, the MIMO-FTN scheme using the W-ZF scheme is two times better than the other two schemes.

The optimal number of users achieving the maximum sum throughput is analyzed in zero-forcing (ZF) based multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with a large number of base station (BS) antennas. By utilizing deterministic ergodic sum rates for the ZF-beam forming (ZF-BF) and ZF-receiver (ZF-R) with a large number of BS antennas [1], [2], we can obtain the ergodic sum throughputs for the ZF-BF and ZF-R for the uplink and downlink frame structures, respectively. Then, we can also formulate and solve the optimization problems maximizing the ergodic sum throughputs with respect to the number of users. This paper shows that the approximate downlink sum throughput for the ZF-BF is a concave function and the approximate uplink sum throughput for the ZF-R is also a concave function in a feasible range with respect to the number of users. The simulation results verify the analyses and show that the derived numbers of users provide the maximum sum throughputs for the ZF-BF as well as ZF-R in multiuser MIMO systems with a large number of BS antennas.

In this paper, a transmitter-based multipath processing and inter-channel interference (ICI) cancellation scheme for a ultra-wideband (UWB) spatial multiplexing (SM) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system is presented. It consists of taps delayed lines and zero-forcing (ZF) filters in the transmitter and correlators in the receiver. For a UWB SM MIMO system with N transmit antennas, M receive antennas, and Q resolvable multipath components, the BER performance of a linear transmit ZF scheme is analyzed in a log-normal fading channel and also compared with that of a receiver-based ICI rejection approach. It is found that when M ${\leq}$ N, the transmit ZF processing approach outperforms the ZF receiver while making the mobile units low-cost and low-power.

In this paper, we describe a hybrid ZF-SD method. The method is based on dimensionality reduction via predecoding and cancellation of those symbols that can be quickly and reliably detected by a linear decoder. The proposed method shows BER performance similar to SD but with much lower computational complexity than SD.

In this paper, Inter user interference elimination algorithm based on Block Diagonal Geometric Mean Decomposition(BD-GMD) for eliminating inter user interference apply to Zero-Forcing in the Successive Signal to Leakage plus Noise Ratio(SSLNR) in Coordinated Multi-Point Coordinated Beamforming system(CoMP CB). As a result, the leakage power is eliminated. The inter user interference elimination algorithm, however, cannot guarantee the enough desired signal power therefore we perform the channel ordering to overcome this disadvantage and increase the desired signal power. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme provides the improved Bit Error Rate(BER) performance compared with existing SSLNR-Zero-Forcing-Tomlinson Harashima precoding(SSLNR-ZF-THP).

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.

In this paper, we propose transceiver design strategies for the two-cell multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) interfering broadcast channel where inter-cell interference (ICI) exists in addition to inter-user interference (IUI). We first formulate the generalized zero-forcing interference alignment (ZF-IA) method based on the alignment of IUI and ICI in multi-dimensional subspace. We then devise a minimum weighted-mean-square-error (WMSE) method based on "regularizing" the precoders and decoders of the generalized ZF-IA scheme. In contrast to the existing weighted-sum-rate-maximizing transceiver, our method does not require an iterative calculation of the optimal weights. Because of this, the proposed scheme, while not designed specially to maximize the sum-rate, is computationally efficient and achieves a faster convergence compared to the known weighed-sum-rate maximizing scheme. Through analysis and simulation, we show the effectiveness of the proposed regularized ZF-IA scheme.

In this paper, we present a closed-form approximation of the average sum rate of zero-forcing (ZF) beamforming (BF) with semi-orthogonal user selection (SUS). We first derive the survival probability associated with the SUS that absolute square of the channel correlation between two users is less than the orthogonalization level threshold (OLT).With this result, each distribution for the number of surviving users at each iteration of the SUS and the number of streams for transmission is calculated. Secondly, the received signal power of ZF-BF is represented as a function of the elements of the upper triangular matrix from QR decomposition of the channel matrix. Thirdly, we approximate the received signal power of ZF-BF with the SUS as the maximum of scaled chisquare random variables where the scaling factor is approximated as a function of both OLT and the number of users in the system. Putting all the above derivations and order statistics together, the approximated ergodic sum rate of ZF-BF with the SUS is shown in a closed form. The simulation results verify that the approximation tightly matches with the sample average for any OLT and even for a small number of users.

In this paper, we present an asymptotical analysis of channel capacity of Bell labs layered space-time (BLAST) architectures based on a zero-forcing (ZF) criterion in the sense of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). We begin by introducing a new relationship related to multi-input multi-output (MIMO) channel capacity. We prove that Diagonal Bell Labs Space-Time (DBLAST) attains the lower bound for MIMO channels when interference nulling is carried out based on the ZF-criterion. An exact closed-form expression for the probability density function of the channel capacity is analyzed. Based on the asymptotic behavior of the channel capacity of each layer, closed-form expressions for the asymptotic ergodic capacity are derived for BLAST. Based on the analysis presented in this paper, we gain an insight on the channel capacity behavior for a MIMO channel. Computer simulation results have verified the validity and accuracy of the proposed analysis for a wide range of antenna array sizes.

본 논문은 MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output)- OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템에서 V-BLAST (Vertical-Ball Laboratories Layered Space Time) 수신기에 대하여 성능을 비교하고 평가한다. 신호는 각각 송신 안테나에서 독립적으로 전송되며 QPSK(Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) 방식을 이용하여 변조 되고, 송 수신단에 각각 2개의 안테나와 각각 4개의 안테나를 사용한다. V-BLAST 수신기로 ZF(zero-Forcing), MMSE(Minimum Mean Squared Error), ZF-OSIC(Zero Forcing - Ordered Successive Interference Cancellation), MMSE-OSIC(Minimum Mean Squared Error - Ordered Successive Interference Cancellation)를 사용한다. 모의실험 결과에서 MMSE 방식이 ZF 방식 보다 좋은 BER(Bit Error Rate)을 보이고, ZF-OSIC 방식은 ZF 방식과 MMSE 방식 보다 더 좋은 BER을 가지는 것을 확인 할 수 있으며, MMSE-OSIC 방식은 사용된 방식 중 가장 좋은 성능을 보인다.
