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 axe 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.

An Introduction to Transmit Antenna Selection in MIMO Wiretap Channels

This paper is a survey of transmit antenna selection-a low-complexity, energy-efficient method for improving physical layer security in multiple-input multiple-output wiretap channels. With this method, a single antenna out of multiple antennas is selected at the transmitter. We review a general analytical framework for analyzing exact and asymptotic secrecy of transmit antenna selection with receive maximal ratio combining, selection combining, or generalized selection combining. The analytical results prove that secrecy is significantly improved when the number of transmit antennas increases.

Transmit Antenna Selection in MIMO-OFDM System Based on CO-SFBC Schemes

A transmit antenna selection(TAS)multi-input multi-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing(MIMO-OFDM)system based on channel-orthogonalized space-frequency block coding(CO-SFBC)schemes was proposed for better performance.Firstly,the principles and criterions for designing CO-STBC/SFBC schemes with angle feedback were proposed,and then the effect of quantization for the feedback angle information within such schemes was discussed.Meanwhile,the TAS scheme was applied to the system to further improve the overall performance.Simulation results show that the combination of the proposed CO-STBC and TAS schemes can significantly improve the system performance,which is much larger than only applying them to systems individually.

Study on Stability and Efficiency of High-Power Ultrawideband Radiation Source

Investigations are directed to the development of high-power sources ofUWB （ultrawideband） radiation based on excitation of anterma arrays with bipolar voltage pulses. In the previously designed high-power UWB sources only one bipolar pulse former and different feeder systems for pulse distribution through the array elements were used. By means of this approach, a number of UWB sources were created with the bipolar voltage pulse length ranging from 0.2 to 2 ns and effective potential of radiation ranging from 0.4 to 3 MV. The approach has got a restriction related to the electrical breakdown in a bipolar voltage pulse former. A new approach to the creation of high-power UWB sources based on a multicharmel bipolar pulse former is suggested： the number of bipolar pulse formers is equal to the number of antennas in the array. The main problem in realization of this approach is a stable operation of bipolar pulse formers in order to ensure a coherent summation of radiated pulses in the far-field zone. The result of this work is the instability of-150 ps at the pulse length of 3 ns obtained in a one-channel bipolar pulse former indicating that the suggested approach is realizable.

Deep Learning Based Physical Layer Security of D2D Underlay Cellular Network

In order to improve the physical layer security of the device-to-device(D2D)cellular network,we propose a collaborative scheme for the transmit antenna selection and the optimal D2D pair establishment based on deep learning.Due to the mobility of users,using the current channel state information to select a transmit antenna or establish a D2D pair for the next time slot cannot ensure secure communication.Therefore,in this paper,we utilize the Echo State Network(ESN)to select the transmit antenna and the Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)to establish the D2D pair.The simulation results show that the LSTMbased and ESN-based collaboration scheme can effectively improve the security capacity of the cellular network with D2D and increase the life of the base station.

Adaptive Secure Transmission for Wireless Powered Communication Networks

This paper investigates secure transmission in a wireless powered communication network(WPCN)with an energy harvesting(EH)source configured with multiple antennas.In the WPCN,the EH source harvests energy from the radio frequency(RF)signals broadcasted by a power beacon(PB),and purely relies on the harvested energy to communicate with the destination in the presence of passive eavesdroppers.It is noteworthy that the RF-EH source is equipped with a finite energy storage to accumulate the harvested energy for the future usage.Moreover,due to energy-constraint and complexitylimitation,the multi-antenna source is only configured with a single RF-chain.To enhance the security for the WPCN,we propose two adaptive transmission schemes,i.e.,energy-aware transmit antenna selection(EATAS)and energy-aware differential spatial modulation(EADSM).According to the energy status and the channel quality,the source adaptively decides whether to transmit confidential information or harvest RF energy.To evaluate the secrecy performance of the proposed schemes,we first study the evolution of the energy storage,and then derive the analytical expressions of connection outage probability(COP),secrecy outage probability(SOP)and efficient secrecy throughput(EST).Numerical results demonstrate that our proposed schemes outperform the existing schemes,i.e.,time-switching based TAS(TS-TAS)Received:May 19,2020 Revised:Sep.13,2020 Editor:Deli Qiao and accumulate-then-transmit(ATT).And,increasing the transmit power of the PB or the capacity of the source’s energy storage is helpful to improve the secrecy performance.Moreover,there exists an optimal transmission rate for each proposed scheme to achieve best secrecy performance.

Transmitted power will decrease, cross-modulate distortion and inter-modulate distortion will be caused and antenna pattern will shift if transmitted antennas are fixed together. All these will lead to the alteration of area coverage. According to the basic theory of electromagnetism compatibility a computer model is established. We do some quantitative analysis of the problems above and give total number, arrangement mode and distance between antennas of bleeper station that operate at 150 MHz. The relation of these factors above are also given. All these are basis of the arrangement of antenna group of bleeper station.

Training Sequence Design for Coordination on Multiple Point System

Although the Cramer-Rao Bound(CRB) can be used as the benchmark of estimation algorithm performance,it's too complicated for joint training sequence(TS) design for multiple input multiple output(MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) coordination on multiple point(CoMP) systems.So a minimum mean square error(MSE) based sub-optimal sequence design criterion was proposed,including ideal sequence correlation property and sequence length constraint.The simulation results verify the theory analysis.

Opportunistic Vector Perturbation with Superposition Signalling

In this letter,we first put forward a new basic problem to the famous vector perturbation(VP) precoding that whether the extended constellation of VP could transmit more information bits.Then,we propose an opportunistic vector perturbation(OVP) precoding with superposition signalling scheme,which is aimed at getting the performance of VP closer to capacity limit.The main idea is using subsequent recoverable data symbol vector to perturb currently transmitting data symbol vector opportunistically.Analysis and simulation results show that the proposed OVP can transmit more valid information bits than conventional VP at the same transmit power,modulation order and number of antennas.

Diversity order of decode-and-forward MIMO relaying with transmit antenna selection

This article analyzes the diversity order of several proposed schemes, where the transmit antenna selection （TAS） strategies are combined with low-complexity decode-and-forward （DF） protocols in the multiple-input multiple-output （MIMO） relaying scenario. Although antenna selection is a suboptimal form of beamforming, it enjoys the advantages of tractable optimization and low feedback overhead. Specifically, this article proposes schemes that combine TAS strategies with fixed decode-and-forward （FDF） and selection decode-and-forward （SDF） protocols. Following that, the asymptotic expressions of outage probabilities are derived and the diversity order of the proposed schemes analyzed. These kinds of combination of transmit antenna selection strategies and low-complexity decode-and-forward protocols can achieve partial diversity order in the MIMO relaying scenario. The numerical simulations verify the analysis.

Low-complexity transmit antenna selection algorithm for massive MIMO

Massive multiple input multiple output(MIMO)systems can increase capacity and reliability greatly.However,extremely high hardware costs and computational complexity lead to the demand for reasonable antenna selection.Aiming at the problem that the traditional antenna selection algorithm based on maximizing sum capacity has large complexity and worse bit error rate(BER)performance,a two-step selection algorithm is proposed,which selects a part of the antennas based on the norm-based antenna selection(NBS)firstly,and then selects the antenna based on maximizing capacity via convex optimization.The simulation results show that the improved algorithm has better BER performance than the traditional algorithms.At the same time,it reduces computational complexity greatly.

Performance of Adaptive Subchannel Assignment-Based MIMO/OFDM Systems over Multipath Fading Channels

Adaptive antenna arrays at both the base and mobile stations can further increase system capacity and improve the quality of service of conventional orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （OFDM） systems. Conventional adaptive antenna array-based multiple-input multiple-output （MIMO）/OFDM systems use the sub-carriers characterized by the largest eigenvalue to transmit the OFDM symbols. This paper describes the performance of adaptive subchannel assignment-based MIMO/OFDM systems over multipath fading channels, The system adaptively selects the eigenvectors associated with the relatively large subchannel eigenvalues to generate the antenna array weights at the base and mobile stations and then adaptively assigns the corresponding best subchannels to transmit the OFDM symbols. Simulation results show that the proposed system can achieve better performance than the conventional adaptive antenna arraybased MIMO/OFDM system over multipath fading channels.
