Evaluation of Linear Precoding Schemes for Cooperative Multi-Cell MU MIMO in Future Mobile Communication Systems

In Mobile Communication Systems, inter-cell interference becomes one of the challenges that degrade the system’s performance, especially in the region with massive mobile users. The linear precoding schemes were proposed to mitigate interferences between the base stations (inter-cell). These schemes are categorized into linear and non-linear;this study focused on linear precoding schemes, which are grounded into three types, namely Zero Forcing (ZF), Block Diagonalization (BD), and Signal Leakage Noise Ratio (SLNR). The study included the Cooperative Multi-cell Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) System, whereby each Base Station serves more than one mobile station and all Base Stations on the system are assisted by each other by shared the Channel State Information (CSI). Based on the Multi-Cell Multiuser MIMO system, each Base Station on the cell is intended to maximize the data transmission rate by its mobile users by increasing the Signal Interference to Noise Ratio after the interference has been mitigated due to the usefully of linear precoding schemes on the transmitter. Moreover, these schemes used different approaches to mitigate interference. This study mainly concentrates on evaluating the performance of these schemes through the channel distribution models such as Ray-leigh and Rician included in the presence of noise errors. The results show that the SLNR scheme outperforms ZF and BD schemes overall scenario. This implied that when the value of SNR increased the performance of SLNR increased by 21.4% and 45.7% for ZF and BD respectively.

APPLICATION OF FRF ESTIMATOR BASED ON ERRORS-IN-VARIABLES MODEL IN MULTI-INPUT MULTI-OUTPUT VIBRATION CONTROL SYSTEM

The FRF estimator based on the errors-in-variables （EV） model of multi-input multi-output （MIMO） system is presented to reduce the bias error of FRF HI estimator. The FRF HI estimator is influenced by the noises in the inputs of the system and generates an under-estimation of the true FRF. The FRF estimator based on the EV model takes into account the errors in both the inputs and outputs of the system and would lead to more accurate FRF estimation. The FRF estimator based on the EV model is applied to the waveform replication on the 6-DOF （degree-of-freedom） hydraulic vibration table. The result shows that it is favorable to improve the control precision of the MIMO vibration control system.

A multi-input and multi-output design on automotive engine management system

Lookup table is widely used in automotive industry for the design of engine control units(ECU).Together with a proportional-integral controller,a feed-forward and feedback control scheme is often adopted for automotive engine management system(EMS).Usually,an ECU has a structure of multi-input and single-output(MISO).Therefore,if there are multiple objectives proposed in EMS,there would be corresponding numbers of ECUs that need to be designed.In this situation,huge efforts and time were spent on calibration.In this work,a multi-input and multi-out(MIMO) approach based on model predictive control(MPC) was presented for the automatic cruise system of automotive engine.The results show that the tracking of engine speed command and the regulation of air/fuel ratio(AFR) can be achieved simultaneously under the new scheme.The mean absolute error(MAE) for engine speed control is 0.037,and the MAE for air fuel ratio is 0.069.

The increase in the number of devices with a massive revolution in mobile technology leads to increase the capacity of the wireless communications net-works. Multi-user Multiple-Input Multiple-Output is an advanced procedure of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output, which improves the performance of Wireless Local Area Networks. Moreover, Multi-user Multiple-Input Multiple-Output leads the Wireless Local Area Networks toward covering more areas. Due to the growth of the number of clients and requirements, researchers try to improve the performance of the Medium Access Control protocol of Multi-user Multiple-Input Multiple-Output technology to serve the user better, by supporting different data sizes, and reducing the waiting time to be able to transmit data quickly. In this paper, we propose a Clustering Multi-user Multiple-Input Multiple-Output protocol, which is an improved Medium Access Control protocol for Multi-user Multiple-Input Multiple-Out-put based on MIMOMate clustering technique and Padovan Backoff Algorithm. Utilizing MIMOMMate focuses on the signal power which only serves the user in that cluster, minimizes the energy consumption and increases the capacity. The implementation of Clustering Multi-user Multiple-Input Multiple-Output performs on the Network Simulator (NS2.34) platform. The results show that Clustering Multi-user Multiple-Input Multiple-Output protocol improves the throughput by 89.8%, and reduces the latency of wireless communication by 43.9% in scenarios with contention. As a result, the overall performances of the network are improved.

A NOVEL ZERO-FORCING PRECODING METHOD FOR MULTI-CELL MIMO SYSTEMS

Precoding methods at the Base Station (BS) can be used to deal with the inter-cell interference and improve the signal quality of the user especially at the cell edge. In this paper, a novel Zero-Forcing (ZF) precoding method is proposed and investigated for multi-cell Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) systems. We propose a relaxed ZF precoding method by relaxing the ZF criterion to some degree so that the inter-cell interference may not be zero. Complexity analysis shows that compared with the conventional ZF method, the additional computation complexity for the proposed method is trivial. Simulation results show that the proposed relaxed ZF method has better performance than the conventional ZF method in terms of the sum-rate, especially at low Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR).

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.

Target estimation using MIMO radar with multiple subcarriers

This paper analyzes the effect of waveform parame- ters on the joint target location and velocity estimation by a non- coherent multiple input multiple output （MIMO） radar transmitting multiple subcarriers signals. How the number of subcarriers in- fluences the estimation accuracy is illustrated by considering the joint Cramer-Rao bound and the mean square error of the maxi- mum likelihood estimate. The non-coherent MIMO radar ambiguity function with multiple subcarriers is developed and investigated by changing the number of subcarriers, the pulse width and the frequency spacing between adjacent subcarriers. The numerical results show that more subcarriers mean more accurate estimates, higher localization resolution, and larger pulse width results in a worse performance of target location estimation, while the fre- quency spacing affects target location estimation little.

Input series out putparallel based multi-modular boost half bridge DC-DC converter with a dynamic control scheme

Multi-modular system plays an important role in power system architecture because low voltage and low power converters can be connected in any combination parallel or series at input/ output side in order to obtained any given power system specifications. Multi-modular boost haft bridge DC-DC converter in the configuration of input series output parallel has been investigated in this paper. The boost half bridge DC-DC converters are connected in input series output parallel con- figuration in order to achieve equal input voltage sharing and output current sharing between the con- verters. This can be achieved with the help of dynamic control scheme which consists of two loops, a voltage loop and a current loop, for each module. Dynamic behavior of multi-modular converter configuration has been observe by varying the load condition. Moreover, the results obtained through multi-modular converter describe that the system has good dynamic and steady state response. Al- though two converter modules are focused in this paper but it can be modified to any number of modules.

Robust MIMO Precoding for Cognitive Multiuser Relay Networks with Imperfect Channel State Information

In this paper, a novel robust precoder with imperfect channel state information(CSI)is proposed for multi-input multi-output(MIMO)cognitive multiuser networks equipped with relays. In the proposed model, the secondary users(SUs)are allowed to share the spectrum with the primary users(PUs)when the interference temperature(IT)is below a specific threshold. The transmitting strategy of relays is amplify-and-forward(AF), and the CSI error is characterized in terms of spherical uncertainty region. A minmax problem for the transmit power of the relays is considered when the mean square error(MSE)of SUs and the IT of PU meet their corresponding thresholds, and it is transformed into a semi-definite programming(SDP)problem to search for the solution. Numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed precoder.

Triple-Polarized Multi-User Mimo-Idma System under Correlated Fading Channel

A multiple-input multiple-output interleave division multiple access (MIMO-IDMA) system with Triple Polarized Division Multiplexing (TPDM) is presented in this paper. The present methodology replaces three independent linearly polarized antennas with a single triple polarized antenna at both the transmitter and receiver. The users in the communication link are accommodated and separated using a user-specific interleaver combined with low rate spreading sequence. To eliminate the effects of multi-stream interference (MSI), minimum mean square error (MMSE) algorithm based on successive interference cancellation (SIC) Multi-user detection (MUD) technique is employed at the receiver. Furthermore, log-maximum a posteriori probability (MAPP) decoding algorithm is implemented at the mobile stations (MSs) to overcome the effects of multi-user interference (MUI) effects. The paper also evaluates the effects of coded MIMO-IDMA in the downlink communication by adopting the Stanford University Interim (SUI) and Long-term Evolution (LTE)channel model specifications. In comparison with the traditional uncoded system, the present solution considering turbo coded triple-polarized MIMO-IDMA system with iterative decoding algorithm provides better bit error rate (BER) with reduced signal to noise ratio (SNR). The simulation results also show that though the SNR requirement is higher for the proposed technique compared to the conventional uni-polarized antenna based MIMO-IDMA system, it gives the advantages of achieving higher data rate with reduced cost and space requirements in the context of a downlink (DL).
