In this letter, we derive a tight closed form formula for an ergodic rapacity of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) for the application of wireless communications. The derived expression is a simple close-form formula to determine the ergodic capacity of MIMO systems. Assuming the channels are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) Rayleigh flat-fading between antenna pairs, the ergodic capacity can be expressed in a closed form as the finite sum of exponential integrals.

This paper demonstrates OFDM with adaptive modulation applied to Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems. We apply an optimization algorithm to obtain a bit and power allocation for each subcarrier assuming instantaneous channel knowledge. The analysis and simulation is considered in two stages. The first stage involves the application of a variable-rate variable-power MQAM technique for a Single-Input Single-Output(SISO) OFDM system. This is compared with the performance of fixed OFDM transmission where a constant rate is applied to each subcarrier. The second stage applies adaptive modulation to a general MIMO system by making use of the Singular Value Decomposition to separate the MIMO channel into parallel subchannels. For a two-input antenna, two-output antenna system, the performance is compared with the performance of a system using selection diversity at the transmitter and maximal ratio combining at the receiver.

In low-density parity-check (LDPC) coded multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems, probabilistic information are exchanged between an LDPC decoder and a MIMO detector. TheMIMO detector has to calculate probabilistic values for each bit which can be very complex. In [1], the authors presented a class of linear block codes named low-density MIMO codes (LDMC) which can reduce the complexity of MIMO detector. However, this code only supports the outer-iterations between the MIMO detector and decoder, but does not support the inner-iterations inside the LDPC decoder. In this paper, a new approach to construct LDMC codes is introduced. The new LDMC codes can be encoded efficiently at the transmitter side and support both of the inner-iterations and outer-iterations at the receiver side. Furthermore they can achieve the design rates and perform very well over MIMO channels.

A multi-stage turbo equalization scheme based on the bit-level combining (BLC) is proposed for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ). In the proposed multi-stage turbo equalization scheme, the minimum mean-square-error equalizer at each iteration calculates the extrinsic log-likelihood ratios for the transmitted bits in a subpacket and the subpackets are sequentially replaced at each iteration according to the HARQ rounds of received subpackets. Therefore, a number of iterations are executed for different subpackets received at several HARQ rounds, and the transmitted bits received at the previous HARQ rounds as well as the current HARQ round can be estimated from the combined information up to the current HARQ round. In addition, the proposed multi-stage turbo equalization scheme has the same computational complexity as the conventional bit-level combining based turbo equalization scheme. Simulation results show that the proposed multi-stage turbo equalization scheme outperforms the conventional BLC based turbo equalization scheme for MIMO systems with HARQ.

Recently, a variety of reduced complexity soft-in soft-output detection algorithms have been introduced for iterative detection and decoding (IDD) systems. However, it is still challenging to implement soft-in soft-output detectors for MIMO systems due to heavy burden in computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a soft detection algorithm for MIMO systems which performs close to the full dimensional joint detection, yet offers significant complexity reduction over the existing detectors. The proposed algorithm, referred to as soft-input soft-output successive group (SSG) detector, detects a subset of symbols (called a symbol group) successively using a deliberately designed preprocessing to suppress the inter-group interference. In fact, the proposed preprocessor mitigates the effect of the interfering symbol groups successively using a priori information of the undetected groups and a posteriori information of the detected groups. Simulation results on realistic MIMO systems demonstrate that the proposed SSG detector achieves considerable complexity reduction over the conventional approaches with negligible performance loss.

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems can provide significant increments in capacity; however, the capacity of MIMO systems degrades severely when spatial correlation among multipath channels is present. This paper demonstrates that the influence of shadowing on the channel capacity is more substantial than that of multipath fading; therefore, the shadowing effect is actually the dominant impairment. To overcome the composite fading effects, we propose combining macroscopic selection diversity (MSD) schemes with MIMO technology. To analyze the system performance, the capacity outage expression of MIMO-based MSD (MSD-MIMO) systems using a characteristic function is applied. The analytic results show that there are significant improvements when MSD schemes are applied, even for the two-base-station diversity case. It is also observed that the effect of spatial correlation due to multipath fading is almost negligible when multiple base stations cooperatively participate in the mobile communication topology.

셀룰러 환경에서 전송 효율을 향상시키기 위하여 일반적으로 사용되는 다중 안테나 (multiple-input multiple-output: MIMO) 시스템은 공간 다중화 (spatial multiplexing: SM) 기법과 공간 다이버시티 (spatial diversity) 기법으로 구분된다. 이러한 MIMO 시스템은 셀룰러 환경에서 단말기가 셀 경계로 이동할수록 인접 셀로부터 오는 간섭 신호의 영향을 받게 되어 심각한 성능 열화를 겪게 된다. 따라서 MIMO 시스템의 전송 효율을 증대시키기 위하여 채널 환경에 적합한 송신 기법과 함께 셀 경계에서의 인접 셀 간섭을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 수신 기법의 활용은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 $M_T$개의 송신 안테나와 $M_R$개의 수신 안테나를 갖는 하향 링크 MIMO 시스템의 전송 효율 증대를 위하여 채널 환경에 따라 공간 다중화 및 공간 다이버시티를 이용한 적응적 송신 방법을 사용하곡 공간 다이버시티가 적용될 경우 MRC (maximal ratio combining) 기법과 ISD (intercell spatial demultiplexing) 기법을 적응적으로 사용하기 위한 선택 기준과, 적응적인 송수신 방식 적용시의 성능 이득을 산출한다. 단말기가 기지국 근처에 위치하여 높은 SIR (signal-to-interference ratio)을 가질 경우에는 공간 다중화를 이용한 송신 기법과 함께 SD (spatial demultiplexing) 수신 기법을 사용하고, 셀 경계와 같이 낮은 SIR을 가질 경우에는 공간 다이버시티를 이용한 송신 기법과 함께 기존의 MRC 수신 방식과 $M_R-1$개의 인접 셀 간섭 신호 성분들을 제거할 수 있는 ISD 수신 방식을 적응적으로 사용함으로써 시스템 전송 효율을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안을 제시한다. 제안한 송수신 방식의 성능을 검증하기 위하여 $M_R{\times}M_T$ MIMO 시스템에서 각각의 송수신 방식에 따른 수신 신호의 유효 신호 대 간섭 비의 확률 밀도 함수를 유도하곡 이를 활용하여 평균 유효 신호 대 간섭 비와 전송 효율을 산출하며, 모의실험 결과와의 비교를 통해 검증한다.

Multi-user multi-input multi-output (MU-MIMO) system has attracted the 4^th generation wireless network as one of core technique for performance enrichment. In this system rate control is a challenging problem and another problem is optimization. Proper scheduling can resolve these problems by deciding which set of user and at which rate the users send their data. This paper proposes a new multi-parameter based scheduling (MPS) for downlink multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) system under space-time block coding (STBC) transmissions. Goal of this MPS scheme is to offer improved link level performance in terms of a low average bit error rate (BER), high packet delivery ratio (PDR) with improved resource utilization and service fairness among the user. This scheme allows the set of users to send data based on their channel quality and their demand rates. Simulation compares the MPS performance with other scheduling scheme such as fair scheduling (FS), normalized priority scheduling (NPS) and threshold based fair scheduling (TFS). The results obtained prove that MPS has significant improvement in average BER performance with improved resource utilization and fairness as compared to the other scheduling scheme.
