Channel capacity of multiple-input multiple-output systems with transmit and receive correlation

In order to investigate the impact of channel model parameters on the channel capacity of a multipleinput multiple-output （MIMO） system, a novel method is proposed to explore the channel capacity under Rayleigh fiat fading with correlated transmit and receive antennas. The optimal transmitting direction which can achieve maximum channel capacity is derived using random matrices theory. In addition, the closed-form expression for the channel capacity of MIMO systems is given by utilizing the properties of Wishart distribution when SNR is high. Computer simulation results show that the channel capacity is maximized when the antenna spacing increases to a certain point, and furthermore, the larger the scattering angle is, the more quickly the channel capacity converges to its maximum. At high SNR （〉12 dB）, the estimation of capacity is close to its true wlue. And, when the same array configuration is adopted both at the transmitter and the receiver, the UCA yields higher channel capacity than ULA.     

Capacity analysis of transmit beamforming with variable feedback delay

The feedback delay can severely affect the quality of the channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT) which is fed back from the receiver. The outdated CSIT will cause large performance loss in the transmit beamforming systems. The effect of variable feedback delay on the capacity of transmit beamforming systems over Rayleigh fading channels is studied. First, the case of fixed feedback delay is considered and a closed-form expression of system capacity is derived. Based on the results of fixed delay, the delay following certain distributions in variable delay case is assumed and the closed-form expressions of capacities are derived. The closed-form expressions show that the capacity is significantly affected by the statistical characteristics of the feedback delay. The obtained results provide an analytical insight into the effects caused by variable delay on the system capacity.

Optimal training sequences for MIMO systems under correlated fading

The optimal design of training sequences for channel estimation in multiple-input multiple-output （MIMO） systems under spatially correlated fading is considered. The channel is assumed to be a block-fading model with spatial correlation known at both the transmitter and the receiver. To minimize the channel estimation error, optimal training sequences are designed to exploit full information of the spatial correlation under the criterion of minimum mean square error （MMSE）. It is investigated that the spatial correlation is helpful to decrease the estimation error and the proposed training sequences have good performance via simulations.

Hybrid transmit antenna selection and maximal-ratio transmission systems

Maximal-ratio transmission systems with transmit antenna selection is investigated. According to the order statistics of channel fiat fading coefficients, the closed-form expressions are derived for average SNR with any amount of RF chains and average BER with two RF chains, respectively. The algorithm for calculating the minimum of total transmit antennas is presented in terms of reduced RF chains. The method of quantizing transmit precoders is employed in this study to decrease feedback information. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed systems under full and quantized transmit precoders. The SNR of the proposed systems has been less degraded by the quantization of transmit precoder than that of pure maximal-ratio transmission systems.

Hybrid pilots assisted channel estimation algorithm for MIMO-OFDM systems

Abstract: A hybrid pilots assisted channel estimation algorithm for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and arbitrary Doppler spread scenarios is proposed. Motivated by the dissatisfactory performance of the optimal pilots (OPs) designed under static channels over multiple OFDM symbols imposed by fast fading channels, the proposed scheme first assumes that the virtual pilot tones superimposed at data locations over specific subcarriers are transmitted from all antennas, then the virtual received pilot signals at the corresponding locations can be obtained by making full use of the time and frequency domain correlations of the frequency responses of the time varying dispersive fading channels and the received signals at pilot subcarriers, finally the channel parameters are derived from the combination of the real and virtual received pilot signals over one OFDM symbol based on least square (LS) criterion. Simulation results illustrate that the proposed method is insensitive to Doppler spread and can effectively ameliorate the mean square error (MSE) floor inherent to the previous method, meanwhile its performance outmatches that of OPs at low SNR region under static channels.

The research and application of wireless local area networks (WLAN) technology are in a stage of rapid development. It has been one of research focuses of the wireless communications field. Through the use of enhanced single-user (SU)/multi-user (MU) multiple input multiple output (MIMO)-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technology, the next generation WLAN IEEE 802.11ac dramatically increases the throughput. An improved MIMO-OFDM scheme based on modulation diversity is proposed for the next generation WLAN. It uses two-dimensional modulation diversity to the current IEEE 802.11ac transmission scheme. Through the space-time-frequency component interleaver and the rotational modulation, the proposed scheme exhibits high spectral efficiency and low error rate in fading channels. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme significantly outperforms the SU/MU MIMO-OFDM scheme in the current IEEE 802.11ac standard, which is up to 5 dB.

Performance and EXIT analysis of parallel concatenated space time trellis codes

Space time trellis coding (STTC) techniques have been proposed to achieve both diversity and coding gains in multiple input multiple output (MIMO) fading channels. But with more transmit antennas STTCs suffer from the design difficulty and complexity increasing. This paper proposes a scheme, named parallel concatenated space time trellis codes (PC-STTC), to achieve the tradeoff between the performances and complexity of STTCs for a large number of transmit antennas. Simulation results and complexity comparison are provided to demonstrate the performance and superiority of the proposed scheme over conventional schemes in fast fading channels in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regions. And an EXIT (extrinsic information transform) chart is given to analyze the iterative convergence of the proposed scheme. It shows that PC-STTC has better iterative convergence in low SNR regions.
