Simulation results show that the proposed ZFBF scheme with receiver antenna selection （ZFBF-AS） achieves considerable throughput improvement over the ZFBF scheme with single receiver antenna. The results also show that, with multi-user diversity, the ZFBF-AS scheme approaches the throughput performance of the ZFBF scheme using all receiver antennas （ZFBF-WO-AS） when the base station adopts semi-orthogonal user selection （SUS） algorithm, and achieves larger throughput when the base station adopts the Round-robin scheduling algorithm. Compared with ZFBF-WO-AS, the proposed ZFBF-AS scheme can reduce the cost of user equipments and the channel state information requirement at the transmitter （CSIT） as well as the multiuser scheduling complexity at the transmitter.展开更多

In ...The existing physical layer security algorithm, which is based on artificial noise, could affect legitimate receivers negatively when the number of users is no less than sending antennas in multi-user MIMO system. In order to improve security of multi-user MIMO system under this scenario, we propose a new multi-user MIMO system physical layer security algorithm based on joint channel state matrix. Firstly, multiple users are processed together, thus a multi-user joint channel state matrix is established. After achieving Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) of the joint channel state matrix, the minimum singular value is obtained, which can be utilized for precoding to eliminate the interference of artificial noise to legitimate receivers. Further, we also present an approach to optimize the power allocation. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can increase secrecy capacity by 0.1 bit/s/HZ averagely.展开更多

In most of previous studies, it is always assumed that the base station (BS) knows full channel state information (CSI) of each user, which does not consider the reality. However, there are only limited feedback bits in real system. Besides, user fairness is often ignored in most of current user selection schemes. To discuss the user fairness and limited feedback, in this paper, the user selection scheme with limited feedback bits is proposed. The BS utilizes codebook precoding transmitting strategy with LTE codebook. Furthermore, this paper analyzes the influence of the number of feedback bits and the number of users on user fairness and system sum capacity. Simulation results show that in order to achieve better user fairness, we can use fewer bits for feedback CSI when the number of user is small, and more feedback bits when the number of users is large.展开更多

On the other hand, the capacity of multi-user systems greatly depends on the knowledge of the channel at the transmitter while this is not always the case in single-user MIMO systems. In this paper, we investigate combined user selection and zero-forcing precoding schemes that use partial channel information, i.e., very low amount of channel information at the base station. We show that while greatly reducing the complexity and channel knowledge feedback load, the proposed schemes preserve the optimality of zero-forcing scheme in term of achievable ergodic sum capacity in limit of large number of active users.展开更多

NOMA is able to contribute to the improvement ofthe tradeoff between system capacity and user fairness(i.e., cell-edge user experience). This improvement becomes in particularemphasized in a cellular system where the channel conditions vary significantly among users due to the near-far effect. In this arti-cle, we provide an overview of the concept, design and performance of NOMA. In addition, we review the potential benefits and is-sues of NOMA over orthogonal multiple access(OMA) such as orthogonal frequency division multiple access(OFDMA) adoptedby LTE, and the status of 3GPP standardization related to NOMA.展开更多

The investigated distributed relay diversity schemes extend the ideas of a single hop transmit antenna schemes such as Cyclic Delay Diversity (CDD), Space Time Transmit Diversity (STTD), transmit Coherent Combining (CC) and Selection Diversity (SD) to distributed diversity systems. In contrast to the classical single hop system, the antennas in the distributed systems belongs to distributed relays instead of being co-located at the transmitter. The distributed relay diversity methods considered in this paper: Relay CDD (RCDD), Relay Alamouti (i.e.STTD), Relay CC (RCC) and Relay SD (RSD) are compared to the traditional 1-hop system. Analytical expressions for the received Signal to Interference Noise Ratio (SINR) are derived and used in a dynamic multi-cell multi-user simulator. Results show considerable SINR gains for both Round Robin and Max-SINR schedulers. The SINR gains translate into substantial cell throughput gains, up to 200%, compared to 1-hop systems. Despite its low complexity, the RCDD scheme has similar performance to that of other more sophisticated 2-hop schemes such as Relay Alamouti and Relay Coherent Combining. Marginally better results are observed for the Relay Selection Diversity scheme.展开更多
