In this paper, the downlink of the multicast based spatial modulation systems is investigated. Specifically, physical layer multicasting is introduced to increase the number of access users and to improve the communication rate of the spatial modulation system in which only single radio frequency chain is activated in each transmission. To minimize the bit error rate (BER) of the multicast based spatial modulation system, a joint optimizing algorithm of antenna selection and multicast precoding is proposed. Firstly, the joint optimization is transformed into a mixed-integer non-linear program based on single-stage reformulation. Then, a novel iterative algorithm based on the idea of branch and bound is proposed to obtain the quasioptimal solution. Furthermore, in order to balance the performance and time complexity, a low-complexity deflation algorithm based on the successive convex approximation is proposed which can obtain a sub-optimal solution. Finally, numerical results are showed that the convergence of our proposed iterative algorithm is between 10 and 15 iterations and the signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) of the iterative algorithm is 1-2dB lower than the exhaustive search based algorithm under the same BER accuracy conditions.

Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) suffers from spectral nulls of frequency-selective fading channels. Linear precoded (LP-) OFDM is an effective method that guarantees symbol detectability by spreading the frequency-domain symbols over the whole spectrum. This paper proposes a computationally efficient and low-cost implementation for discrete Hartley transform (DHT) precoded OFDM systems. Compared to conventional DHT-OFDM systems, at the transmitter, both the DHT and the inverse discrete Fourier transform are replaced by a one-level butterfly structure that involves only one addition per symbol to generate the time-domain DHT-OFDM signal. At the receiver, only the DHT is required to recover the distorted signal with a single-tap equalizer in contrast to both the DHT and the DFT in the conventional DHT-OFDM. Theoretical analysis of DHT-OFDM with linear equalizers is presented and confirmed by numerical simulation. It is shown that the proposed DHT-OFDM system achieves similar performance when compared to other LP-OFDMs but exhibits a lower implementation complexity and peak-to-average power ratio.

LTE 및 LTE-A 시스템에서 8-PSK 성운을 알파벳으로 가지는 이중계층 차분 코드북을 제안한다. 인접하는 무선 채널의 시간 상관으로 선부호화 행렬은 천천히 변화하므로, 무선 채널 공간의 전체를 양자화 하지 않고, 시간 상관에 따른 채널 공간의 일부분의 차분 성분만을 양자화하여 피드백을 한다면, 기존과 동일한 크기의 코드북으로도 가상적으로는 코드북이 매우 커지는 효과를 얻을 수 있어 채널 용량이 증가한다. 특히 제안하는 코드북은 LTE release-8의 코드북 설계조건인 8-PSK 성운을 사용하는 동 이득 특성 및 이중 계층 코드북이 단일 계층 코드북을 포함하는 특성을 가지는 새로운 차분 코드북이다. 코드북 내 코드워드들의 인자들이 8-PSK 성운만을 사용하므로, 선부호화 및 복호 시에 계산량이 낮아지는 LTE 코드북의 장점을 그대로 유지할 수 있다. 또한 동 이득 성질은 상대적으로 저렴한 비선형 증폭기를 사용할 수 있는 장점이 있어 가격의 제한을 받는 단말기 설계에는 필수적인 요소이다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통한 이중계층 선부호화 기법의 성능 분석에서, 동일한 피드백 비트 수를 갖는 같은 크기의 코드북에서 제안하는 차분 코드북은 정상상태에서 기존 LTE 코드북보다 최소 1.2dB 성능 향상을 보인다.

The Multiuser Eigenmode Transmission (MET) has generated significant interests in literature due to its optimal performance in linear precoding systems. The MET can simultaneously transmit several spatial multiplexing eigenmodes to multiple users which significantly enhance the system performance. The maximum number of users that can be served simultaneously is limited due to the constraints on the number antennas, and thus an appropriate user selection is critical to the MET system. Various algorithms have been developed in previous works such as the enumerative search algorithm. However, the high complexities of these algorithms impede their applications in practice. In this paper, motivated by the necessity of an efficient and effective user selection algorithm, a low complexity recursive user selection algorithm is proposed for the MET system. In addition, the fairness of the MET system is improved by using the combination of the proposed user selection algorithm and the adaptive Proportional Fair Scheduling (PFS) algorithm. Extensive simulations are implemented to verify the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

A terminal-based dynamic clustering algorithm is proposed in a multi-cell scenario, where the user could select the cooperative BSs from the predetermined static base stations (BSs) set based on dynamic channel condition. First, the user transmission rate is derived based on linear precoding and per-cell feedback scheme. Then, the dynamic clustering algorithm can be implemented based on two criteria: (a) the transmission rate should meet the user requirement for quality of service (QoS); (b) the rate increment exceeds the predetermined constant threshold. By adopting random vector quantization (RVQ), the optimized number of cooperative BSs and the corresponding channel conditions are presented respectively. Numerical results are given and show that the performance of the proposed method can improve the system resources utilization effectively.

Suitable for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) communications, the joint beamforming space-time block coding (JBSTBC) scheme is proposed for high-speed downlink transmission. The major functionality of the scheme entails space-time block encoder and joint transmit and receive eigen-beamformer (EBF) incorporating with block-ordered layered decoder (BOLD), and its operating principle is described in this paper. Within these functionalities, the joint EBFs will be utilized for decorrelating fading channels to cause an enhancement in the spatial diversity gain. Furthermore, to fortify the capability of layered successive interference cancellation (LSIC) in block-ordered layered decoding process, this paper will develop a simple ad-hoc transmit power discrimination scheme (TPDS) based on a particular power discrimination function (PDF). To confirm the superior behavior of the proposed JBSTBC scheme employing ad-hoc TPDS, computer simulations will be conducted under various channel conditions with the provision of detailed mathematical derivations for clarifying its functionality.

Recently, there has been an increasing demand of high data rates services, where several multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) techniques were introduced to meet these demands. Among these techniques, vector perturbation combined with linear precoding techniques, such as zero-forcing and minimum mean-square error, have been proven to be efficient in reducing the transmit power and hence, perform close to the optimum algorithm. In this paper, we review several fixed-complexity vector perturbation techniques and investigate their performance under both perfect and imperfect channel knowledge at the transmitter. Also, we investigate the combination of block diagonalization with vector perturbation outline its merits.

순환 지연 다이버시티(CDD, cyclic delay diversity) 기법은 주파수 다이버시티를 이용하여 OFDM 시스템의 성능을 향상시키는 기법이다. 또한, 선형 프리코딩 기법은 채널 상황 정보(CSI, channel state information)를 이용하여 통신 시스템의 성능을 크게 증가시킬 수 있는 기법이다. 본 논문은 기존의 CDD-OFDM 송신 다이버시티 기법보다 향상된 성능을 얻기 위하여 선형 프리코딩 기법의 적용을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 채널 상황 정보 feedback이 필요한 FDD(frequency division duplex) 시스템 보다, feedback을 사용할 필요 없이 채널 가역성(reciprocity)의 성질을 이용할 수 있는 TDD(time division duplex) 시스템에서 더욱 효과적이다. 모의실험 결과를 통해 본 논문에서 제안된 기법이 기존의 프리코딩을 사용하지 않는 CDD-OFDM 시스템에 비하여 target BER $10^{-4}$에서 3km/h의 이동성(mobility)을 갖는 flat 페이딩 채널과 Pedestrian A(Ped A) 채널, 120km/h의 이동성을 갖는 flat 페이딩 채널과 Vehicular A(Veh A) 채널에서 각각 6.3dB. 6.2dB, 2.8dB, 3.8dB의 SNR 성능 이득을 얻는 것을 보인다.

We propose methods of linear transceiver design for two different power constraints, sum relay power constraint and per relay power constraint, which determine signal processing matrices such as base station (BS) transmitter, relay precoders and user receivers to minimize sum mean square error (SMSE) for multi-relay multi-user (MRMU) networks. However, since the formulated problem is non-convex one which is hard to be solved, we suboptimally solve the problems by defining convex subproblems with some fixed variables. We adopt iterative sequential designs of which each iteration stage corresponds to each subproblem. Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) theorem and SMSE duality are employed as specific methods to solve subproblems. The numerical results verify that the proposed methods provide comparable performance to that of a full relay cooperation bound (FRCB) method while outperforming the simple amplify-and-forward (SAF) and minimum mean square error (MMSE) relaying in terms of not only SMSE, but also the sum rate.
