基于扇区差值的60 GHz毫米波的空间复用方法研究

对60 GHz无线个域网中空间复用技术进行了研究。提出了一种基于扇区差值的空间复用的新方法。利用PCP/AP收集到的STA用于在服务期中使用的扇区ID信息,建立波束形成信息表。PCP/AP通过查找已分配服务期与候选服务期的链路STA及其对应在链路中使用的扇区ID信息,计算出两个服务期中链路STA的最小扇区差值。根据最小扇区差值来判断所选SP中的链路是否能够进行空间复用;进而实现根据最小扇区差值找出与当前候选服务期进行最佳空间复用的已分配服务期。仿真表明,基于扇区差值的空间复用方法能够获得更高的空间复用增益。

Opportunistic Relaying Schemes for Amplify and Forward Bidirectional Relay Channels with Multi antenna Sources

We consider a two-way relay network where the Amplify-and-Forward (AF) protocol is adopted by all relays in this paper.The network consists of two multi-antenna source nodes and multiple distributed single-antenna relays.Two opportunistic relaying schemes are proposed to efficiently utilize the antennas of the source nodes and the relay nodes.In the first scheme,the best relay is selected out by a max-min-max criterion before transmitting.After that,at each source,only the antenna with the largest channel gain between itself and the best relay is activated to transmit and receive signals with full power.In the second scheme,assisted by the best relay which is selected by the typical max-min criterion,both source nodes use all their antennas to exchange data,and match filter beamforming techniques are employed at both source nodes.Further analyses show that all schemes can achieve the full diversity order,and the conclusions are not only mathematically demonstrated but numerically illustrated.System performance comparisons are carried out by numerical methods in terms of rate sum and outage probability,respectively.The beamforming assisted scheme can be found to be superior to the antenna selection scheme when accurate Channel State Information (CSI) is available at the transmitters.Otherwise,the latter is very suitable.

Angle-Threshold Random Beamforming Scheme for Multi-Antenna System

Codebook-based multiple input multiple output(MIMO) beamforming can significantly improve the system spectral efficiency with limited feedback and gets widely adopted.However,this scheme has a drawback of heavy feedback load that the sum feedback rate can be a bottleneck for the communication system,especially when the number of users is large.In this paper,a new scheme using pseudo-random beamforming vectors and angle based threshold in the feedback process is proposed.In the proposed scheme,both the base-station and the users have no need to store a codebook.In each access procedure,the base-station generates a pseudo-random beamforming vector,and each user calculates the angle between the beamforming vectors and its channel state information(CSI) vector.If the angle is less than a predefined angle-threshold,the user feeds back its channel quality indicators(CQI),otherwise it keep silence.Compared with the codebook based scheme,the proposed scheme can largely reduce the sum feedback rate with negligible throughput loss.In particular,when the system has a constraint on the total sum feedback rate in uplink channel,the proposed scheme can increase the system throughput significantly.

Adaptive robust beamformer for multi-pair two-way relay networks with imperfect channel state information

In wideband multi-pair two-way relay networks, the performance of beamforming at a relay station(RS) is intimately related to the accuracy of the channel state information(CSI) available. The accuracy of CSI is determined by Doppler spread, delay between beamforming and channel estimation, and density of pilot symbols,including transmit power of pilot symbols. The coefficient of the Gaussian-Markov CSI error model is modeled as a function of CSI delay, Doppler spread, and signal-to-noise ratio, and can be estimated in real time. In accordance with the real-time estimated coefficients of the error model, an adaptive robust maximum signal-to-interferenceand-noise ratio(Max-SINR) plus maximum signal-to-leakage-and-noise ratio(Max-SLNR) beamformer at an RS is proposed to track the variation of the CSI error. From simulation results and analysis, it is shown that: compared to existing non-adaptive beamformers, the proposed adaptive beamformer is more robust and performs much better in the sense of bit error rate(BER); with increase in the density of transmit pilot symbols, its BER and sum-rate performances tend to those of the beamformer of Max-SINR plus Max-SLNR with ideal CSI.
