Using joint minimum mean square error(MMSE) filter, the receiving decoding matrix is designed for each user in the paper. Source precoding (beamforming) matrix is optimized with convex function of weight mean square error (MSE). Relay precoding matrix is obtained under MSE decomposition and convex optimization. The precoding matrix index is fed back for clustered subcarrier of OFDM with limited feedback. Then using interpolation algorithm, all precoding matrices are achieved at base station (BS) and relay nodes. Simulations indicate the effectiveness of the proposed limited feedback joint precoding and beam_formlng design. The proposed method can improve bit error rate (BER) performance and obtain better sum-rate performance in contrast to existing algorithms. It displays the BER performance is close to that of the unquantified precoding feedback method.展开更多

On the other hand, the denoising properties of the wavelet transform make WT an efficient signal processing tool in noisy environments. A novel technique for the classification of multi-user chirp modulation signals is presented in this paper. A combination of the higher order moments and cumulants of the wavelet coefficients as well as the peaks of the bispectrum and its bi-frequencies are proposed as effective features. Different types of artificial intelligence based classifiers and clustering techniques are used to identify the chirp signals of the different users. In particular, neural networks (NN), maximum likelihood (ML), k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and support vector machine (SVMs) classifiers as well as fuzzy c-means (FCM) and fuzzy k-means (FKM) clustering techniques are tested. The Simulation results show that the proposed technique is able to efficiently classify the different chirp signals in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels with high accuracy. It is shown that the NN classifier outperforms other classifiers. Also, the simulations prove that the classification based on features extracted from wavelet transform results in more accurate results than that using features directly extracted from the chirp signals, especially at low values of signal-to-noise ratios.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

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

The challenge is always to optimize the compromise between performance and complexity. Compared with the solution commonly used today, the rake detector, successive interference cancellation (SIC) detector has better performance despite its higher complexity. Our innovative solution proposes joining detector and channel turbo decoder to get a significant gain in terms of performance. Furthermore, when detection and decoding are implemented in a single function, complexity does not increase much.展开更多

文摘Recently,Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces(RISs)have drawn intensive attention in the realization of the smart radio environment.However,existing works mainly consider the RIS as a whole uniform plane,which may be unrealistic to be installed on the facade of buildings when the RIS is extremely large.In contrast,this paper investigates a practical Sparse Array of Sub-surface(SAoS)deployment of the RIS for uplink multi-user millimeter Wave(mmWave)communication systems,in which the Mobile Stations(MSs)are distributed in the blind coverage area due to the blockage.In order to exploit the benefits of the sparse deployment,the correlation of the effective channel is firstly investigated.Then the approximation and lower bounds of the ergodic spectral efficiency are derived under frequency and spatial multiplexing scenarios,respectively.Based on the autocorrelation of the effective channel,we obtain an optimal reflect coefficient design as well as the deployment guidelines of RIS tiles.Moreover,the RIS tile scheduling algorithms are also proposed.Numerical results show that the ergodic spectral efficiency approximation matches well with the Monte Carlo result under frequency multiplexing scenarios,and the lower bound is tight under spatial multiplexing scenarios only when the effective channel is strongly correlated.On the basis of the RIS tile scheduling algorithm and the reflect coefficient design,the system performance can be significantly improved under frequency multiplexing scenarios.On the other hand,by deploying more sparse RIS tiles,we can increase the multiplexing gain under spatial multiplexing scenarios.

文摘This paper develops a new transmit beamforming for an integrated mechanical and electrical scanning dual-function radar-communication(DFRC)system.Differing from the related some works using beampattern sidelobe level to communication,we exploit the fact that transmit beamforming weight vector u k in directionθand weight vector u*k in direction-θcan achieve the same spatial power distribution,and formulate a new transmit beamforming vector design problem accounting for some extra sidelobe level constraints.By doing so,the number of the transmit beamforming weight vectors and the computing demand in the multi-user communication(MUC)scenario can be reduced.Finally,the numerical examples are designed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed design strategy in comparison with the existing method.

文摘In Multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) downlink system, suitable user selection schemes can improve spatial diversity gain. 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.
文摘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.

文摘In the uplink grant-free non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA)scenario,since the active user at the sender has a structured sparsity transmission characteristic,the compressive sensing recovery algorithm is initially applied to the joint detection of the active user and the transmitted data.However,the existing compressed sensing recovery algorithms with unknown sparsity often require noise power or signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)as the priori conditions,which greatly reduces the algorithm adaptability in multi-user detection.Therefore,an algorithm based on cross validation aided structured sparsity adaptive orthogonal matching pursuit(CVA-SSAOMP)is proposed to realize multi-user detection in dynamic change communication scenario of channel state information(CSI).The proposed algorithm transforms the structured sparsity model into a block sparse model,and without the priori conditions above,the cross validation method in the field of statistics and machine learning is used to adaptively estimate the sparsity of active user through the residual update of cross validation.The simulation results show that,compared with the traditional orthogonal matching pursuit(OMP)algorithm,subspace pursuit(SP)algorithm and cross validation aided block sparsity adaptive subspace pursuit(CVA-BSASP)algorithm,the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the accurate estimation of the sparsity of active user and the performance of system bit error ratio(BER),and has the advantage of low-complexity.
文摘This paper deals with the presentation of different multi-user detectors in the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) context. The challenge is always to optimize the compromise between performance and complexity. Compared with the solution commonly used today, the rake detector, successive interference cancellation (SIC) detector has better performance despite its higher complexity. Our innovative solution proposes joining detector and channel turbo decoder to get a significant gain in terms of performance. Furthermore, when detection and decoding are implemented in a single function, complexity does not increase much.

文摘Multi-user detection is one of the important technical problems for moderncommunications. In the field of quantum communication, the multi-access channel onwhich we apply the technology of quantum information processing is still an openquestion. In this work, we investigate the multi-user detection problem based on thebinary coherent-state signals whose communication way is supposed to be seen as aquantum channel. A binary phase shift keying model of this multi-access channel isstudied and a novel method of quantum detection proposed according to the conclusionof the quantum measurement theory. As a result, the average interference betweendeferent users is presented and the average error probability of the quantum detection isderived theoretically. Finally, we show the maximum channel capacity of this effectivedetection for a two-access quantum channel.
