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.

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.

Closed-loop transmit diversity systems with hybrid antenna selection

The paper investigates closed-loop transmit diversity （CLTD） systems with antenna selection technique. The expected received signal-noise-ratio （RxSNR） of the proposed systems is analyzed and compared with CLTD systems. An algorithm is proposed for determining the number of increased transmit antennas in terms of a reduced RF chains without performance degradation. Since a feedback channel is bandwidth-limited, we present a method of quantizing transmit-weight vectors. Simulation results demonstrate advantage of the proposed systems with full and quantized feedback information. Quantized feedback has less effect on the proposed systems than CLTD systems.

Achieving Directionality and Transmit Diversity via Integrating Beam Pattern Scanning (BPS) Antenna Arrays and OFDM

In this paper, we introduce a novel merger of antenna arrays with scanning beam patterns, and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Controlled time varying phase shifts are applied to the antenna array elements mounted at the base station with beam patterns directed toward the desired user. This creates a small beam pattern movement called Beam Pattern Scanning (BPS). In rich scattering environments BPS creates a time varying environment leading to time diversity exploitable at the receiver enhances its probability-of-error performance. Here, we apply OFDM signals to BPS antenna arrays, and we achieve: (1) directionality, which supports Space Division Multiple Access (SDMA);and (2) a time diversity gain, which leads to high performance. We discuss the structure of the base station antenna array and the OFDM receiver that exploits time diversity. We also introduce the merger of BPS and multi-carrier OFDM (MC-OFDM) systems. In MC-OFDM each bit is transmitted over all sub-carriers after serial to parallel conversion. BPS/ MC-OFDM receiver exploits both time diversity inherent in BPS, and frequency diversity inherent in MC-OFDM transmission technique. Simulation results show high Probability-of-error performance is achie- vable via BPS/OFDM and BPS/MC-OFDM schemes comparing to the traditional OFDM and MC-OFDM, respectively. Simulations also reveal that MC-OFDM system as well as its merger with BPS is capable of mitigating large Peak-to-Average Ratio (PAPR) problem in traditional OFDM system. In addition, performance simulations with coded OFDM (COFDM) and coded MC-OFDM (MC-COFDM) and their merger with BPS are studied.
