VI Adaptive Communications for Next Generation Broadband Wireless Access Systems VII Abstract In Broadband Wireless Access systems the efficient use of the resources is crucial from many points of views. From the operator point of view, the bandwidth is a scarce, valuable, and expensive resource which must be exploited in an efficient manner while the Quality of Service (QoS) provided to the users is guaranteed. On the other hand, a tight delay and link quality constraints are imposed on each data flow hence the user experiences the same quality as in fixed networks. During the last few years many techniques have been developed in order to increase the spectral efficiency and the throughput. Among them, the use of multiple antennas at the transmitter and the receiver (exploiting spatial multiplexing) with the joint optimization of the medium access control layer and the physical layer parameters. In this Ph.D. thesis, different adaptive techniques for B3G multicarrier wireless systems are developed and proposed focusing on the SS-MC-MA and the OFDM(A) (IEEE 802.16a/e/m standards) communication schemes. The research lines emphasize into the adaptation of the transmission having (Partial) knowledge of the Channel State Information for both; single antenna and multiple antenna links. For single antenna links, the implementation of a joint resource allocation and scheduling strategies by including adaptive modulation and coding is investigated. A low complexity resource allocation and scheduling algorithm is proposed with the objective to cope with real- and/or non-real- time requirements and constraints. A special attention is also devoted in reducing the required signalling both in the downlink and the uplink. Moreover, for multiple antenna links, the performance of a proposed adaptive transmit antenna selection scheme jointly with space-time block coding selection is investigated and compared with conventional structures. In this research line, mainly two optimizations criteria are proposed for spatial link adaptation, one based on the minimum error rate for fixed throughput, and the second focused on the maximisation of the rate for fixed error rate. Finally, some indications are given on how to include the spatial adaptation into the investigated and proposed resource allocation and scheduling process developed for single antenna transmission. VIII Adaptive Communications for Next Generation Broadband Wireless Access Systems IX Acknowledgments First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Faouzi Bader for the many hours that he has dedicated to this Ph.D. Thesis. His perseverance in pushing me to improve and achieve higher levels of demand, as well as his knowledge that has allowed me to go forward in this exciting world of research. Equally, I would like to express all my thanks to Dr. Joan Lluís Pijoan for that first coffee when he encouraged me to go ahead with the doctorate. Now, almost five years later, I realize that after many days (including weekends and holidays) of hard work, I see myself at the place I wanted and that the journey is still at its beginning. Nevertheless, I will never forget all the people from the Research Group in Electromagnetism and Communications (A.M. Sanchez, D. Badia, J. Pajares, J.Mauricio, J.R. Regué, M. Ribó, S. Graells, J.P. Rodríguez, R. Bardají and R.M. Alsina), and especially my old office mates (Ricard Aquilué, Pau Bergadà and Marc Deumal) with whom I shared many happy moments which made these years pass in a second. I would like to thank all those people and institutions that have helped me during all these years, mainly the Access Technologies Research area of the Centre Tecnològic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya ± (CTTC), the Wireless@KTH department from the Royal Institute of Technology University (KTH), and all the members of the Advanced Technologies Standardization and Regulation department of Samsung Electronics Research Institute, UK. Thanks to all of them for their support of the research undertaken in this thesis. In addition, all my sincere gratitude to all the reviewers of this Ph.D. thesis for their comments and suggestions that help to improve the quality of this dissertation. Finally, all my acknowledges to the ³'HSDUWDPHQW G¶8QLYHUVLWDWV 5HFHUFD L 6RFLHWDW GH OD Informació de la Generalitat de Catalunya´ ± (DURSI), for the awarded grantships within the ³%eques doctorals per a la formació de personal investigador´(FI) DQG³Beques per a estades per a la recerca fora de Catalunya´ ± (BE) programs. X Adaptive Communications for Next Generation Broadband Wireless Access Systems XI About the author Ismael Gutiérrez González received the Bachelor and Master degrees in Telecommunications Engineering in Sept. 2003 and June 2004 respectively from Enginyeria i Arquitectura La Salle of Ramon Llull University (URL) in Barcelona (Spain). In September, 2004 he was awarded with a Ph.D. scholarship from Enginyeria i Arquitectura La Salle, and four months later he was awarded with a Ph. D grantship from the local Catalan Government (Departament G¶8QLYHUVLWDWV 5HFHUFD L 6RFLHWDW GH OD ,QIRUPDFLy) for the period 2005-2008. During this period he was an active member of the Electromagnetism and Communications Research Group (GRECO) research group within the Electronics and Communications Department (DEC), where he carried out his Ph.D. researches in collaboration with the ³Access Technologies´ research area of the Centre Tecnològic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya (CTTC) of Barcelona. The author has participated in several European research projects as the ³:LUHOHVV 6\VWHPV 3URYLGLQJ+LJK4XDOLW\6HUYLFHV´ (WISQUAS) - CP2-035, WKH³PHYsical layer for DYnamic AccesS and cognitive radio´ (PHYDYAS)- ICT-211887, and the COST-289 related with ³Spectrum and Power Efficient Broadband Communications´, as well as in the industrial project related with the development of a ³broadband OFDM modem for medium and high voltage power lines´ lead by ENDESA Network Factory - Spain. During his Ph.D. research period, he was granted two international research mobility funds for his researches at Kunglinga Tekniska Högskolan (KTH) University of Stockholm, Sweden in 2006, and at Samsung Electronics Research Institute (SERI), UK in 2008. From September 2003 to January 2009, he exerted as assistant professor in Wireless and Mobile Communications Networks at Enginyeria i Arquitectura La Salle of URL University. Since March 2009, he has been a senior research engineer at the Advanced Technologies Standardization and Regulation (ATSR) department of Samsung Electronics Research Institute, in Staines, UK.
