Abstract Mobile communication systems are currently being developed with the aim of providing peak data rates up to 20 times higher to those of Long Term Evolution (LTE)-Advanced Release 10. However, this performance improvement is often far from being the experimented performance by all users, especially, for those users who are far from the base station. In this sense, there exists a consensus within the international scientific community on the fact that the best way to achieve the same quality for all users is with the use of heterogeneous networks composed of macrocells, microcells, femtocells, and relays. This dissertation addresses the use of mobile relays to provide service to users who are out-of-coverage or undergo low data rates as they are located at the cell-edge. Mobile relaying is a natural extension of the fixed relay in which users who are in the idle state could retransmit signals received from other transmitters to enhance signal quality and consequently data rates. The use of mobile relaying could make the data boost required by the future Fifth Generation (5G) affordable. Our investigations employ a simulation platform that includes link-level and system-level simulations. This dissertation focuses on proposing and evaluating new techniques that manage the use of the mobile relay in the new generation cellular networks. In particular, the dissertation studies mobile relaying from two complementary points of view. The first point of view investigates the mobile relay management at the network level through a signaling protocol known as Media Independent Han- dover (MIH). The main idea of the proposed mechanism is to use this signaling to connect the base station and the user in one of the following two manners. In the former, both entities are connected directly through the xG (x= 2, 3, 4, 5) wireless network. In the latter, there exists an xG connection between the base station and the mobile relay and another one between the mobile relay and the user through an IEEE 802.11 local wireless network. The investigations in this Thesis aim at finding a trade-off between using multiple mobile relays and reducing signaling overhead. i ABSTRACT The second point of view deals with mobile relying integration at the air interface level. It consists in detecting, proposing, and evaluating new trans- mission techniques that solve the drawbacks derived from coherent detection. As with point-to-point systems, employing multiple antennas in a cooperative system can significantly improve the spectral efficiency of the systems with only one transmit antenna assuming that the channel state information is available at the receiver. However, performing a coherent detection in a network assisted by relays consumes much more resources than a point-to-point network since the coherent detection requires the channel estimation of source-relay, relay- destination, and source-destination links. In this Thesis, the proposed solution is to use transmission techniques that do not need the channel knowledge to perform the detection. This transmission mode is referred to as non-coherent. This dissertation evaluates, firstly, the use of single-user open-loop commu- nication techniques over temporally-correlated Rayleigh fading Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) channels. Two non-coherent techniques are com- pared with several coherent schemes, for two and four antennas. On the other hand, in multi-carrier systems, the dissertation proposes to transmit the Grass- mannian signaling in the virtual block formed by the coherence time and the coherence bandwidth. This proposal is due to the fact that Grassmannian signaling achieves data rates approaching capacity over block-fading channels where the channel coefficients are constant during T time slots. However, this channel type is not common in real systems since channel correlation is of- ten found in frequency, time, and space. For this reason, the next objective is to evaluate the performance of Grassmannian signaling compared to the diversity transmission modes of LTE, analyzing the impact of user mobility and antenna correlation. Thanks to these investigations, we point that non- coherent systems are promising techniques in mobility scenarios with a high number of transmit antennas. This result motivates its relevance in the design of new single-user open-loop transmission methods with multiple antennas. In downlink multi-user non-coherent scenarios, superposition coding and a new suboptimum detection scheme are proposed. This detection system consid- erably reduces the complexity respect to the maximum likelihood detection. Finally, this dissertation proposes that Grassmannian signaling is transmitted in a new carrier type, where any reference signal is transmitted if it is indicated in the signaling forwarded to the user. In this way, the user would change its detection method to non-coherent. ii Resumen Los sistemas de comunicaciones m´ovilesest´ansiendo desarrollados en la actu- alidad con el objetivo de proporcionar tasas de datos de pico de hasta 20 veces superiores a las proporcionadas por Long Term Evolution (LTE)-Advanced Re- lease 10. Sin embargo, esta mejora en las prestaciones a menudo dista mucho de ser la experimentada por todos los usuarios, sobre todo por aquellos que est´anlejos de la estaci´onbase. En este sentido, existe un consenso entre la co- munidad cient´ıficainternacional sobre que la forma m´aseficiente de conseguir la misma calidad de servicio para todos los usuarios es con el uso de redes heterog´eneasque incluyan macroceldas, picoceldas, femtoceldas y relays. Esta Tesis aborda el uso de relays m´ovilespara dar servicio a usuarios que se encuentran fuera de cobertura o que experimentan bajas tasas de datos debido a que est´ansituados en el borde de la celda. El relay m´oviles una extensi´on natural del relay fijo, de manera que usuarios que est´enen reposo podr´ıan retransmitir las se~nalesrecibidas de otros transmisores, mejorando as´ıel nivel de se~nalrecibido y por consiguiente la tasa experimentada. Esto permitir´ıa mejorar la tasa del sistema hasta alcanzar los requisitos de la 5G con un coste razonable. Las investigaciones de esta Tesis doctoral emplean una plataforma de si- mulaci´onque incluye simulaciones a nivel de enlace y a nivel de sistema. Esta Tesis se centra en proponer y evaluar nuevas t´ecnicasque gestionen el uso del relay m´ovilen las redes celulares de nueva generaci´on.En particular, esta Tesis propone la gesti´ondel relay m´ovildesde dos puntos de vista. El primer punto de vista se centra en la gesti´on del relay m´ovil a nivel de red a trav´esde una se~nalizaci´onconocida como Media Independent Handover (MIH). La idea principal del mecanismo propuesto es usar esta se~nalizaci´onpara conectar la estaci´onbase y el usuario de dos formas diferentes. En la primera alternativa, ambas entidades est´anconectadas directamente a trav´esde la red inal´ambrica xG (x= 2, 3, 4, 5). En la segunda alternativa, existe una conexi´onxG desde la estaci´onbase al relay m´ovil,y otra desde el relay m´ovilal usuario a trav´esde una red local inal´ambrica IEEE 802.11. Las iii RESUMEN investigaciones de esta Tesis se centran en encontrar un compromiso entre usar multiples relays m´ovilesy reducir al m´aximola carga de se~nalizaci´on. El segundo punto de vista se centra a nivel radio y consiste en proponer y evaluar nuevas t´ecnicasde transmisi´onque solucionen los problemas deriva- dos de la detecci´oncoherente. Al igual que ocurre con los sistemas punto a punto, emplear m´ultiples antenas en un sistema cooperativo puede mejorar significativamente la eficiencia espectral respecto a los sistemas con una ´unica antena transmisora con la condici´onde que la informaci´ondel estado del canal est´edisponible en el receptor. Sin embargo, realizar una detecci´oncoherente en una red con relays consume muchos m´asrecursos que en una red punto a punto, puesto que la detecci´oncoherente requiere la estimaci´ondel canal de los enlaces fuente-relay, relay-destino y fuente-destino. En esta Tesis, la soluci´on propuesta es usar t´ecnicasde transmisi´onque no necesiten el conocimiento del canal para hacer la detecci´on. Este modo de transmisi´onse conoce como no coherente. Esta Tesis eval´ua,en primer lugar, el uso de t´ecnicasde comunicaci´on en lazo abierto y a un ´unicousuario sobre canales Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) con desvanecimientos Rayleigh temporalmente correlados. Se comparan dos t´ecnicasno coherentes con varios esquemas coherentes, para dos y cuatro antenas. Por otra parte, en sistemas multiportadora, la Tesis propone transmitir la se~nalizaci´onGrassmannian en el bloque virtual formado por el tiempo de coherencia y el ancho de banda de coherencia. Esto se debe a que la se~nalizaci´onGrasmannian alcanza tasas pr´oximasa la capacidad en canales block-fading donde los coeficientes del canal son constantes durante T periodos de tiempo. Sin embargo, este tipo de canal no suele ser com´unen sistemas reales, puesto que la correlaci´ondel canal suele encontrarse en frecuencia, en tiempo y en espacio. Por este motivo, el objetivo siguiente consiste en evaluar las prestaciones de la se~nalizaci´onGrassmannian con los modos de transmisi´on de diversidad de un sistema celular como LTE, analizando el impacto de la movilidad y la correlaci´onde las antenas. Gracias a estos estudios, se muestra que los sistemas no coherentes son t´ecnicas prometedoras en escenarios con movilidad y con un alto n´umerode antenas.

  • Applying Distributed Orthogonal Space Time Block Coding in Cooperative Communication Networks
    APPLYING DISTRIBUTED ORTHOGONAL SPACE TIME BLOCK CODING IN COOPERATIVE COMMUNICATION NETWORKS JAMES ADU ANSERE ODION EHIMIAGHE This thesis is presented as part of the Degree of Master of Science in Electrical Engineering with emphasis on Telecommunication Blekinge Institute of Technology April 2012 School of Engineering Department of Electrical Engineering Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden Supervisor: Professor Abbas Mohammed ABSTRACT In this research, we investigate cooperative spectrum sensing using distributed orthogonal space time block coding (DOSTBC). Multiple antennas are introduced at the transmitter and the receiver to achieve higher cooperative diversity in the cooperative wireless (CW) networks. The received signals from the primary users (PUs) at the cooperative relays (CRs) are encoded and retransmitted to the cooperative controller (CC), where further decisions are made depending on the information sent from the CRs. The cooperative relaying protocol employed here in CRs is based on decoding forward (DF) technique. The proposed Alamouti scheme in orthogonal space time block code (OSTBC) has been found to enhance detection performance in CW networks. The analyses over independent Rayleigh fading channels are performed by the energy detector. In CW networks the secondary users (SUs) use the available frequency band as the PUs is absent. The SU discontinue using the licensed band and head off as soon as the PU is present. The SUs is more responsive and intelligent in detecting the spectrum holes. The principal aim of the CW network is to use the available holes without causing any interference to the PUs. The CRs are preferably placed close to the PU to detect transmitted signal, with decoding capability the information collected are decoded by CRs using Maximum Likelihood (ML) decoding technique.

However, the expected benefits of these technologies cannot be achieved without a proper system design. In this paper, we consider the problem of jointly optimizing terminal precoders/decoders and relay forwarding matrices on the basis of the sum mean square error (MSE) criterion in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) two-way relay systems, where two multi-antenna nodes mutually exchange information via multi-antenna amplify-and-forward relays. This problem is nonconvex and a local optimal solution is typically found by using iterative algorithms based on alternating optimization. We show how the constrained minimization of the sum-MSE can be relaxed to obtain two separated subproblems which, under mild conditions, admit a closed-form solution.

ABSTRACT Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) play a key role in automation and consumer electronics applications. This paper deals with joint design of the source precoder, relaying matrices, and destination equalizer in a multiple-relay amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperative multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) WSN, when partial channel-state information (CSI) is available in the network. In particular, the considered approach assumes knowledge of instantaneous CSI of the first-hop channels and statistical CSI of the second-hop channels. In such a scenario, compared to the case when instantaneous CSI of both the first- and second-hop channels is exploited, existing network designs exhibit a significant performance degradation. Relying on a relaxed minimum-mean-square-error (MMSE) criterion, we show that strategies based on potential activation of all antennas belonging to all relays lead to mathematically intractable optimization problems. Therefore, we develop a new joint relay-and-antenna selection procedure, which determines the best subset of the available antennas possibly belonging to different relays. Monte Carlo simulations show that, compared to conventional relay selection strategies, the proposed design offers a significant performance gain, outperforming also other recently proposed relay/antenna selection schemes.

Increased capacity can be achieved by introducing additional spatial channels that are exploited by using coding such as space-time coding (STC). The spatial diversity improves the link reliability by reducing the adverse effects of link fading and shadowing. In this article, we survey environmental factors that affect MIMO capacity. These include channel complexity, external interferences, and channel estimation errors. With the use of MIMO communication techniques, multipath need not be a hindrance and can be exploited to increase potential data rates and simultaneously improve robustness of the wireless links. This review article provides a detailed explanation of this MIMO technology and explains how such benefits can be achieved using this technological breakthrough.

  • Distributed Space-Time Coding Techniques with Limited Feedback in Cooperative MIMO Networks
    Distributed Space-Time Coding Techniques with Limited Feedback in Cooperative MIMO Networks Tong Peng Doctor of Philosophy University of York Electronics February 2014 Abstract DSTC designs with high diversity and coding gains and efficient detection and code ma- trices optimization algorithms in cooperative MIMO networks are proposed in this thesis. Firstly, adaptive power allocation (PA) algorithms with different criteria for a cooperative MIMO system equipped with DSTC schemes are proposed and evaluated. Linear receive filter and maximum likelihood (ML) detection are considered with amplify-and-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF) cooperation strategies. In the proposed algorithms, the elements in the PA matrices are optimized at the destination node and then trans- mitted back to the relay nodes via a feedback channel. Linear minimum mean square error (MMSE) receive filter expressions and the PA matrices depend on each other and are updated iteratively. Stochastic gradient (SG) algorithms are developed with reduced detection complexity. Secondly, an DSTC scheme is proposed for two-hop cooperative MIMO networks. An adjustable code matrix obtained by a feedback channel is employed to transform the space-time coded matrix at the relay node. The effects of the limited feedback and the feedback errors are assessed. An upper bound on the pairwise error probability analysis is derived and indicates the advantage of employing the adjustable code matrices at the relay nodes. An alternative optimization algorithm for the adaptive DSTC scheme is also derived in order to eliminate the need for feedback. Thirdly, an adaptive delay-tolerant DSTC (DT-DSTC) scheme is proposed for two-hop cooperative MIMO networks.

  • Capacity Limits of MIMO Systems
    1 Capacity Limits of MIMO Systems Andrea Goldsmith, Syed Ali Jafar, Nihar Jindal, and Sriram Vishwanath DRAFT 2 I. INTRODUCTION In this chapter we consider the Shannon capacity limits of single-user and multi-user MIMO systems. These fundamental limits dictate the maximum data rates that can be transmitted simultaneously to all users over the MIMO channel with asymptotically small error probability, assuming no constraints on delay or complexity of the encoder and decoder. Much of the initial excitement about MIMO systems was due to pioneering work by Winters [132], Foschini [29], and Telatar [113] predicting remarkable capacity growth for wireless systems with multiple antennas when the channel exhibits rich scattering and its variations can be accurately tracked. This initial promise of exceptional spectral efficiency almost “for free” resulted in an explosion of research and commercial activity to characterize the theoretical and practical issues associated with MIMO systems. However, these predictions are based on somewhat unrealistic assumptions about the underlying time-varying channel model and how well it can be tracked at the receiver as well as at the transmitter. More realistic assumptions can dramatically impact the potential capacity gains of MIMO techniques. This chapter provides a comprehensive summary of MIMO Shannon capacity for both single-user and multi-user systems with and without fading under different assumptions about what is known at the transmitter(s) and receiver(s). We first provide some background on Shannon capacity and mutual information, and then apply these ideas to the single-user AWGN MIMO channel. We next consider MIMO fading channels, describe the different capacity definitions that arise when the channel is time-varying, and present the MIMO capacity under these different definitions.

  • Machine Learning for 5G MIMO Modulation Detection

Most of the existing modulation detection algorithms address the detection dedicated to the non-cooperative systems only. In this work, we propose the detection of modulations in the multi-relay cooperative multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems for 5G communications in the presence of spatially correlated channels and imperfect channel state information (CSI). At the destination node, we extract the higher-order statistics of the received signals as the discriminating features. After applying the principal component analysis technique, we carry out a comparative study between the random committee and the AdaBoost machine learning techniques (MLTs) at low signal-to-noise ratio. The efficiency metrics, including the true positive rate, false positive rate, precision, recall, F-Measure, and the time taken to build the model, are used for the performance comparison. The simulation results show that the use of the random committee MLT, compared to the AdaBoost MLT, provides gain in terms of both the modulation detection and complexity.
