Impact of channel estimation error on channel capacity of multiple input multiple output system

In order to investigate the impact of channel estimation error on channel capacity of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system, a novel method is proposed to explore the channel capacity in correlated Rayleigh fading environment. A system model is constructed based on the channel estimation error at receiver side. Using the properties of Wishart distribution, the lower bound of the channel capacity is derived when the MIMO channel is of full rank. Then a method is proposed to select the optimum set of transmit antennas based on the lower bound of the mean channel capacity. The novel method can be easily implemented with low computational complexity. The simulation results show that the channel capacity of MIMO system is sensitive to channel estimation error, and is maximized when the signal-to-noise ratio increases to a certain point. Proper selection of transmit antennas can increase the channel capacity of MIMO system by about 1 bit/s in a flat fading environment with deficient rank of channel matrix.

This paper propose a novel noncoherent chaotic com- munication scheme named multiple-input multiple-output correlation-delay-shill- keying （MIMO-CDSK）. In this scheme, multiple antennas are employed to strengthen the robustness in transmission, and to get more diversity gain. The bit error rate （BER） of the MIMO-CDSK is studied analytically in AWGN channel model and multipath fading channel model. The theory and simulation results show that, the performance gain can be obtained with multiple antennas allocated in the transmitter and receiver. Moreover, it is observed that MIMO-CDSK system can effectively reduce the multipath interference.

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.

Improved List Sphere Decoder for Multiple Antenna Systems

An improved list sphere decoder （ILSD） is proposed based on the conventional list sphere decoder （LSD） and the reduced- complexity maximum likelihood sphere-decoding algorithm. Unlike the conventional LSD with fixed initial radius, the ILSD adopts an adaptive radius to accelerate the list cdnstruction. Characterized by low-complexity and radius-insensitivity, the proposed algorithm makes iterative joint detection and decoding more realizable in multiple-antenna systems. Simulation results show that computational savings of ILSD over LSD are more apparent with more transmit antennas or larger constellations, and with no performance degradation. Because the complexity of the ILSD algorithm almost keeps invariant with the increasing of initial radius, the BER performance can be improved by selecting a sufficiently large radius.

A Novel Compact Highly Isolated UWB MIMO Antenna with WLAN Notch

This paper presents a compact Multiple Input Multiple Output(MIMO)antenna with WLAN band notch for Ultra-Wideband(UWB)applications.The antenna is designed on 0.8mmthick low-cost FR-4 substrate having a compact size of 22mm×30 mm.The proposed antenna comprises of two monopole patches on the top layer of substrate while having a shared ground on its bottom layer.The mutual coupling between adjacent patches has been reduced by using a novel stub with shared ground structure.The stub consists of complementary rectangular slots that disturb the surface current direction and thus result in reducing mutual coupling between two ports.A slot is etched in the radiating patch for WLAN band notch.The slot is used to suppress frequencies ranging from 5.1 to 5.9 GHz.The results show that the proposed antenna has a very good impedance bandwidth of|S11|<−10 dB within the frequency band from 3.1–14 GHz.A low mutual coupling of less than−23 dB is achieved within the entire UWB band.Furthermore,the antenna has a peak gain of 5.8 dB,low ECC<0.002 and high Diversity Gain(DG>9.98).

Isolation Enhancement in a Compact Four-Element MIMO Antenna for Ultra-Wideband Applications

Mutual coupling reduction or isolation enhancement in antenna arrays is an important area of research as it severely affects the performance of an antenna.In this paper,a new type of compact and highly isolated Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output(MIMO)antenna for ultra-wideband(UWB)applications is presented.The design consists of four radiators that are orthogonally positioned and confined to a compact 40×40×0.8 mm3 space.The final antenna design uses an inverted L shape partial ground to produce an acceptable reflection coefficient(S11<−10 dB)in an entire UWB band(3.1–10.6)giga hertz(GHz).Moreover,the inter-element isolation has also been enhanced to>20 db for majority of the UWB band.The antenna was fabricated and tested with the vector network analyzer(VNA)and in an anechoic chamber for scattering parameters and radiation patterns.Furthermore,different MIMO diversity performance metrics are also measured to validate the proposed model.The simulation results and the experimental results from the constructed model agree quite well.The proposed antenna is compared with similar designs in recently published literature for various performance metrics.Because of its low envelope correlation coefficient(ECC<0.1),high diversity gain(DG>9.99 dB),peak gain of 4.6 dB,reduced channel capacity loss(CCL<0.4 b/s/Hz),and average radiation efficiency of over 85%,the proposed MIMO antenna is ideally suited for practical UWB applications.

Design of integrated radar and communication system based on MIMO-OFDM waveform

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) waveform enables radar and communication functions simultaneously, which encounters low angle resolution and poor data rate for traditional single input single output (SISO) systems. To solve these problems, an integrated radar and communication system (IRCS) with multiple input multiple output (MIMO) OFDM waveform is proposed. The different limitations of radar and communication in designing such a system are investigated. Then, an optimization problem is devised to obtain suitable system parameters, including the number of subcarriers, subcarrier spacing, number of symbols, pulse repetition frequency (PRF) and length of cyclic prefix (CP). Finally, to satisfy the requirements of both radar and communication, the IRCS parameters are derived in three typical cases. Several numerical results are presented to illustrate the demands of radar and communication, inconsistent or consistent, for the IRCS parameters and the superiority of the proposed system.

Angle estimation in bistatic MIMO radar using improved reduced dimension Capon algorithm

This paper discusses the problem of direction of departure （DOD） and direction of arrival （DOA） estimation for a bistatic multiple input multiple output （MIMO） radar, and proposes an improved reduced-dimension Capon algorithm therein. Compared with the reduced-dimension Capon algorithm which requires pair matching between the two-dimensional angle estimation, the pro- posed algorithm can obtain automatically paired DOD and DOA estimation without debasing the performance of angle estimation in bistatic MIMO radar. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm has a lower complexity than the reduced-dimension Capon algorithm, and it is suitable for non-uniform linear arrays. The complexity of the proposed algorithm is analyzed and the Cramer-Rao bound （CRB） is also derived. Simulation results verify the usefulness of the proposed algorithm.

Hybrid pilots assisted channel estimation algorithm for MIMO-OFDM systems

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.

MIMO-DCSK communication scheme and its performance analysis over multipath fading channels

The differential chaotic shift keying （DCSK） communication in multiple input multiple output （MIMO） multipath fading chan- nels is considered. A simple MIMO-DCSK communication scheme based on orthogonal multi-codes （OMCs） and equal gain combination （EGC） is proposed, in which OMCs are used to spread the same information bit at each transmitting antenna and the infor- mation bit is detected by EGC at receiving antenna. The OMCs are constructed from one chaotic sequence by means of othogo- nal space-time block coding （OSTBC）. The output signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） after EGC is given based on central limit theory （CLT）, and it can effectively exploit the spatial diversity of the underlying MIMO system. Simulation results show that the full spatial diversity gain is achieved without channel estimation in the MIMO-DCSK communication scheme and it performs better than MC-EGC for a large number of transmitting antennas.

Fast DOA estimation algorithm for MIMO sonar based on ant colony optimization

The maximum likelihood （ML） estimator demonstrates remarkable performance in direction of arrival （DOA） estimation for the multiple input multiple output （MIMO） sonar. However, this advantage comes with prohibitive computational complexity. In order to solve this problem, an ant colony optimization （ACO） is incorporated into the MIMO ML DOA estimator. Based on the ACO, a novel MIMO ML DOA estimator named the MIMO ACO ML （ML DOA estimator based on ACO for MIMO sonar） with even lower computational complexity is proposed. By extending the pheromone remaining process to the pheromone Gaussian kernel probability distribution function in the continuous space, the pro- posed algorithm achieves the global optimum value of the MIMO ML DOA estimator. Simulations and experimental results show that the computational cost of MIMO ACO ML is only 1/6 of the MIMO ML algorithm, while maintaining similar performance with the MIMO ML method.

This paper presents an efficient Joint Coding and Modulation Diversity ( JCMD ) scheme. The proposed scheme applied modulation diversity technique to MIMO-OFDM system which can effectively use time, frequency and space diversity combined with channel coding. In fading channel,the proposed scheme not only achieves high spectral efficiency,but also greatly enhances the reliability of wireless transmission. The self- developed hardware prototype system proves that the proposed scheme can be realized and has high reliability. Compared with traditional MIMO-OFDM scheme based on bit-interleaved coded modulation ( BICM) ,software and hardware simulation results show that the proposed scheme with the optimal rotational angle can obtain a significant performance advantage both for precoded and non-precoded system in the condition of non-perfect channel knowledge and non-ideal synchronization.

Multi-dimensional blind separation method for STBC systems

Intercepted signal blind separation is a research topic with high importance for both military and civilian communication systems. A blind separation method for space-time block code （STBC） systems is proposed by using the ordinary independent component analysis （ICA）. This method cannot work when specific complex modulations are employed since the assumption of mutual independence cannot be satisfied. The analysis shows that source signals, which are group-wise independent and use multi-dimensional ICA （MICA） instead of ordinary ICA, can be applied in this case. Utilizing the block-diagonal structure of the cumulant matrices, the JADE algorithm is generalized to the multidimensional case to separate the received data into mutually independent groups. Compared with ordinary ICA algorithms, the proposed method does not introduce additional ambiguities. Simulations show that the proposed method overcomes the drawback and achieves a better performance without utilizing coding information than channel estimation based algorithms.
