However, traditional channel estimation methods do not always yield reliable estimates. The methodology of this paper consists of deep residual shrinkage network (DRSN)neural network-based method that is used to solve this problem.Thus, the channel estimation approach, based on DRSN with its learning ability of noise-containing data, is first introduced. Then,the DRSN is used to train the noise reduction process based on the results of the least square (LS) channel estimation while applying the pilot frequency subcarriers, where the initially estimated subcarrier channel matrix is considered as a three-dimensional tensor of the DRSN input. Afterward, a mixed signal to noise ratio (SNR) training data strategy is proposed based on the learning ability of DRSN under different SNRs. Moreover, a joint mixed scenario training strategy is carried out to test the multi scenarios robustness of DRSN. As for the findings, the numerical results indicate that the DRSN method outperforms the spatial-frequency-temporal convolutional neural networks (SF-CNN)with similar computational complexity and achieves better advantages in the full SNR range than the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) estimator with a limited dataset. Moreover, the DRSN approach shows robustness in different propagation environments.展开更多

The massive M2M system included a single relay station, multiple paired source nodes and destination nodes. Source nodes precoding matrices and relay station precoding matrix were jointly optimized by maximizing the weighted sum-rate in OFDM systems. After some mathematical manipulation to sum-rate, the cost function of sum.rate was expressed as quadratic optimizing expressions which could be solved by regular convex optlmiTation softwares. Different from existing algorithms, the proposed precoding design was based on massive MIMO OFDM systems with multi-antenna users pairs together pilot decontamination transmission arrangement. Simulations indicate the effectiveness of the proposed optimal precoding system. The proposed scheme not only can reduce pilot contamination, but also can improve performance of bit-error-rate (BER) as wed as sum- rate contrast to existing algorithms. In addition, it shows that the proposed M2M massive MIMO system works steadily when the number of users increases in large scale.展开更多

However, the excessively high computational complexity of the signal detection in massive MIMO systems imposes a significant challenge for practical hardware implementations. In this paper, we propose a novel minimum mean square error(MMSE) signal detection using the accelerated overrelaxation(AOR) iterative method without complicated matrix inversion, which is capable of reducing the overall complexity of the classical MMSE algorithm by an order of magnitude. Simulation results show that the proposed AOR-based method can approach the conventional MMSE signal detection with significant complexity reduction.展开更多

By means of the performance analysis, the closed-form expressions of average packet error rate(APER)and overall average spectral efficiency(ASE)of distributed massive MIMO systems with CLD are derived based on the conditional probability density function of each user’s approximate effective signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and the switching thresholds under the target packet loss rate(PLR)constraint.With these results,using the approximation of complementary error functions,the approximate APER and overall ASE are also deduced. Simulation results illustrate that the obtained theoretical ASE and APER can match the corresponding simulations well. Besides,the target PLR requirement is satisfied,and the distributed massive MIMO systems offer an obvious performance gain over the co-located massive MIMO systems.展开更多

In particular, burst interference may occur only on data symbols but not on pilot symbols, which means that interference information cannot be premeasured. To cancel the burst interference, we first revisit the uplink multi-user system and develop a matrixform system model, where the covariance pattern and the low-rank property of the interference matrix is discussed. Then, we propose a turbo message passing based burst interference cancellation(TMP-BIC) algorithm to solve the data detection problem, where the constellation information of target data is fully exploited to refine its estimate. Furthermore, in the TMP-BIC algorithm, we design one module to cope with the interference matrix by exploiting its lowrank property. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can effectively mitigate the adverse effects of burst interference and approach the interference-free bound.展开更多

To reduce the overwhelming pilot overhead, a hybrid orthogonal and non-orthogonal pilot distribution at the base station(BS),which is a generalization of the existing pilot distribution scheme,is proposed by exploiting the common sparsity of channel due to the compact antenna arrangement. Then the block sparsity for antennas with hybrid pilot distribution is derived respectively and can be used to obtain channel impulse response. By employing the theoretical analysis of block sparse recovery, the total coherence criterion is proposed to optimize the sensing matrix composed by orthogonal pilots. Due to the huge complexity of optimal pilot acquisition, a genetic algorithm based pilot allocation(GAPA) algorithm is proposed to acquire optimal pilot distribution locations with fast convergence. Furthermore, the Cramer Rao lower bound is derived for non-orthogonal pilot-based channel estimation and can be asymptotically approached by the prior support set, especially when the optimized pilot is employed.展开更多

Present research works abo...Utilizing channel reciprocity, time reversal(TR) technique increases the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) at the receiver with very low transmitter complexity in complex multipath environment. Present research works about TR multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) communication all focus on the system implementation and network building. The aim of this work is to analyze the influence of antenna coupling on the capacity of wideband TR MIMO system, which is a realistic question in designing a practical communication system. It turns out that antenna coupling stabilizes the capacity in a small variation range with statistical wideband channel response. Meanwhile, antenna coupling only causes a slight detriment to the channel capacity in a wideband TR MIMO system. Comparatively, uncorrelated stochastic channels without coupling exhibit a wider range of random capacity distribution which greatly depends on the statistical channel. The conclusions drawn from information difference entropy theory provide a guideline for designing better high-performance wideband TR MIMO communication systems.展开更多

Non-linear source precoders in such a system have not been considered yet. In this paper, we study the joint design of source Tomlinson-Harashima precoders (THPs), relay linear precoder and MMSE receivers in two-way relay systems. This joint design problem is a highly nonconvex optimization problem. By dividing the original problem into three sub-problems, we propose an iterative algorithm to optimize precoders and receivers. The convergence of the algorithm is ensured since the updated solution is optimal to each sub-problem. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed iterative algorithm outperforms other algorithms in the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region.展开更多

摘要Based on massive MIMO ( multiple-input multiple-output) (M2M) systems, in order to avoid pilot contamination and improve the performance of rapacity, a pilot training transmission scheme was designed for pilot decontamination by utilizing orthogonal mbearriers of OFDM ( orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) during pilot transmission phase and a joint optimized transceiver design for multi-antenna user pairs was proposed during the data transmission phase. The massive M2M system included a single relay station, multiple paired source nodes and destination nodes. Source nodes precoding matrices and relay station precoding matrix were jointly optimized by maximizing the weighted sum-rate in OFDM systems. After some mathematical manipulation to sum-rate, the cost function of sum.rate was expressed as quadratic optimizing expressions which could be solved by regular convex optlmiTation softwares. Different from existing algorithms, the proposed precoding design was based on massive MIMO OFDM systems with multi-antenna users pairs together pilot decontamination transmission arrangement. Simulations indicate the effectiveness of the proposed optimal precoding system. The proposed scheme not only can reduce pilot contamination, but also can improve performance of bit-error-rate (BER) as wed as sum- rate contrast to existing algorithms. In addition, it shows that the proposed M2M massive MIMO system works steadily when the number of users increases in large scale.

摘要Pilot contamination can bring up a grave impairment in the performance of massive multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)systems.In this paper,an improved time-shifted pilot scheme is proposed to reduce the pilot contamination,where orthogonal pilots are employed in the same group to eliminate the residual intragroup interference existing in the original time-shifted pilot scheme.Meanwhile,the rigorous closed-form expressions of both downlink and uplink transmission rates with a finite number of antennas are derived,and it is shown that the intra-group interference can be completely eliminated by the proposed scheme.Simulation results demonstrate that both downlink and uplink transmission rates are significantly improved by employing the proposed scheme.
摘要This paper addresses the problem of channel estimation in a multiuser multi-cell wireless communications system in which the base station(BS)is equipped with a very large number of antennas(also referred to as"massive multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)").We consider a time-division duplexing(TDD)scheme,in which reciprocity between the uplink and downlink channels can be assumed.Channel estimation is essential for downlink beamforming in massive MIMO,nevertheless,the pilot contamination effect hinders accurate channel estimation,which leads to overall performance degradation.Benefitted from the asymptotic orthogonality between signal and interference subspaces for non-overlapping angle-of arrivals(AOAs)in the large-scale antenna system,we propose a multiple signals classification(MUSIC)based channel estimation algorithm during the uplink transmission.Analytical and numerical results verify complete pilot decontamination and the effectiveness of the proposed channel estimation algorithm in the multiuser multi-cell massive MIMO system.

摘要Recently,cell-free(CF)massive multipleinput multiple-output(MIMO)becomes a promising architecture for the next generation wireless communication system,where a large number of distributed access points(APs)are deployed to simultaneously serve multiple user equipments(UEs)for improved performance.Meanwhile,a clustered CF system is considered to tackle the backhaul overhead issue in the huge connection network.In this paper,taking into account the more realistic mobility scenarios,we propose a hybrid small-cell(SC)and clustered CF massive MIMO system through classifications of the UEs and APs,and constructing the corresponding pairs to run in SC or CF mode.A joint initial AP selection of this paradigm for all the UEs is firstly proposed,which is based on the statistics of estimated channel.Then,closed-form expressions of the downlink achievable rates for both the static and moving UEs are provided under Ricean fading channel and Doppler shift effect.We also develop a semi-heuristic search algorithm to deal with the AP selection for the moving UEs by maximizing the weight average achievable rate.Numerical results demonstrate the performance gains and effective rates balancing of the proposed system.

摘要Massive multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) system is capable of substantially improving the spectral efficiency as well as the capacity of wireless networks relying on equipping a large number of antenna elements at the base stations. However, the excessively high computational complexity of the signal detection in massive MIMO systems imposes a significant challenge for practical hardware implementations. In this paper, we propose a novel minimum mean square error(MMSE) signal detection using the accelerated overrelaxation(AOR) iterative method without complicated matrix inversion, which is capable of reducing the overall complexity of the classical MMSE algorithm by an order of magnitude. Simulation results show that the proposed AOR-based method can approach the conventional MMSE signal detection with significant complexity reduction.

摘要The performance of uplink distributed massive multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)systems with crosslayer design(CLD) is investigated over Rayleigh fading channel, which combines the discrete rate adaptive modulation with truncated automatic repeat request. By means of the performance analysis, the closed-form expressions of average packet error rate(APER)and overall average spectral efficiency(ASE)of distributed massive MIMO systems with CLD are derived based on the conditional probability density function of each user’s approximate effective signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and the switching thresholds under the target packet loss rate(PLR)constraint.With these results,using the approximation of complementary error functions,the approximate APER and overall ASE are also deduced. Simulation results illustrate that the obtained theoretical ASE and APER can match the corresponding simulations well. Besides,the target PLR requirement is satisfied,and the distributed massive MIMO systems offer an obvious performance gain over the co-located massive MIMO systems.

摘要This paper investigates the fundamental data detection problem with burst interference in massive multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(MIMO-OFDM) systems. In particular, burst interference may occur only on data symbols but not on pilot symbols, which means that interference information cannot be premeasured. To cancel the burst interference, we first revisit the uplink multi-user system and develop a matrixform system model, where the covariance pattern and the low-rank property of the interference matrix is discussed. Then, we propose a turbo message passing based burst interference cancellation(TMP-BIC) algorithm to solve the data detection problem, where the constellation information of target data is fully exploited to refine its estimate. Furthermore, in the TMP-BIC algorithm, we design one module to cope with the interference matrix by exploiting its lowrank property. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can effectively mitigate the adverse effects of burst interference and approach the interference-free bound.

摘要How to obtain accurate channel state information(CSI)at the transmitter with less pilot overhead for frequency division duplexing(FDD) massive multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)system is a challenging issue due to the large number of antennas. To reduce the overwhelming pilot overhead, a hybrid orthogonal and non-orthogonal pilot distribution at the base station(BS),which is a generalization of the existing pilot distribution scheme,is proposed by exploiting the common sparsity of channel due to the compact antenna arrangement. Then the block sparsity for antennas with hybrid pilot distribution is derived respectively and can be used to obtain channel impulse response. By employing the theoretical analysis of block sparse recovery, the total coherence criterion is proposed to optimize the sensing matrix composed by orthogonal pilots. Due to the huge complexity of optimal pilot acquisition, a genetic algorithm based pilot allocation(GAPA) algorithm is proposed to acquire optimal pilot distribution locations with fast convergence. Furthermore, the Cramer Rao lower bound is derived for non-orthogonal pilot-based channel estimation and can be asymptotically approached by the prior support set, especially when the optimized pilot is employed.

摘要Location-based services have become an important part of the daily life.Fingerprint localization has been put forward to overcome the shortcomings of the traditional positioning algorithms in indoor scenario and rich scattering environment.In this paper,a single-site multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM)system is modeled,from which an angle delay channel power matrix(ADCPM)is extracted.Considering the changing environment,auto encoders are used to generate new fingerprints based on ADCPM fingerprints to improve the robustness of the fingerprints.When the scattering environment has changed beyond a certain extent,the robustness will not be able to make up for the positioning error.Under this circumstance,an updating of the fingerprint database is imperative.A new fingerprint database updating algorithm which combines a new clustering method and an updating rule based on probability is proposed.Simulation results show the desirable performance of the proposed methods.
摘要Unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs),due to their adaptable mobility and various applications,including supporting communication infrastructure,monitoring,and rescue,are becoming increasingly valuable,making them a valuable addition to emergency communication networks.Even though cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output(CF-mMIMO)networks provide high communication data rates,their immobility makes it difficult to maintain quality network continuity in emergency,unpredictable,and congested areas where users’equipment is located.To mitigate this challenge,the integration of aerial access points(AAPs)into CF-mMIMO networks is proposed by using the multi-agent deep deterministic policy gradient(MADDPG)framework,which teaches several UAVs to jointly learn the best deployment plans by estimating user distributions and traffic demand trends on invitations to provide tremendous dynamic coverage,increased spectral efficiency(SE),and throughput maximization.The predictive component framework utilizes a long short-term memory(LSTM)network model incorporating concepts of learning,association,movement,and service provision for temporal traffic forecasting,thereby ensuring proactive UAV positioning before coverage holes emerge.Our extensive simulation results demonstrate that the MADDPG-based throughput deployment strategy achieves approximately 45 Gbps for 50 UAVs,the SE for downlink and uplink of 10.2 bps/Hz and 15.2 bps/Hz,respectively,and the minimal transmit power of 3.5 kJ as compared with the multi-agent soft actorcritic(MASAC)method,traditional heuristic-LSTM,and single-agent reinforcement learning approaches.

摘要Utilizing channel reciprocity, time reversal(TR) technique increases the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) at the receiver with very low transmitter complexity in complex multipath environment. Present research works about TR multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) communication all focus on the system implementation and network building. The aim of this work is to analyze the influence of antenna coupling on the capacity of wideband TR MIMO system, which is a realistic question in designing a practical communication system. It turns out that antenna coupling stabilizes the capacity in a small variation range with statistical wideband channel response. Meanwhile, antenna coupling only causes a slight detriment to the channel capacity in a wideband TR MIMO system. Comparatively, uncorrelated stochastic channels without coupling exhibit a wider range of random capacity distribution which greatly depends on the statistical channel. The conclusions drawn from information difference entropy theory provide a guideline for designing better high-performance wideband TR MIMO communication systems.

摘要Existing minimum-mean-squared-error (MMSE) transceiver designs in amplified-and-forward (AF) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) two-way relay systems all assume a linear precoder at the sources. Non-linear source precoders in such a system have not been considered yet. In this paper, we study the joint design of source Tomlinson-Harashima precoders (THPs), relay linear precoder and MMSE receivers in two-way relay systems. This joint design problem is a highly nonconvex optimization problem. By dividing the original problem into three sub-problems, we propose an iterative algorithm to optimize precoders and receivers. The convergence of the algorithm is ensured since the updated solution is optimal to each sub-problem. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed iterative algorithm outperforms other algorithms in the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region.
