It was shown recently, that in case of Rayleigh fading and an uninformed transmitter the average rate achieved with quasi-orthogonal space-time block codes (QSTBC), which use an orthogonal space-time block code (OSTBC) as building element, is equal to the average rate of the underlying OSTBC. In this work, we assume that the transmitter knows the mean channel matrix in a more general scenario either by feedback or channel estimation and the receiver has perfect CSI. We then analyze the optimal transmit strategy with respect to the average rate. Interestingly, at first the optimization problem is non-convex. However, after choosing the optimal directions, the remaining power allocation problem turns out to be convex. We analyze the impact of the mean component on the average rate, the optimal transmit strategy including the optimal power allocation. We show that in case of mean knowledge the QSTBC outperform the OSTBC with respect to the average rate and illustrate our theoretical results using numerical simulations

We address the problem of codebook design for the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) fast non-coherent MIMO block fading channel. The channel matrix is assumed deterministic (no stochastic model attached) and unknown at both the receiver and the transmitter. To handle the unknown deterministic space-time channel, a generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) receiver is implemented. The case of single transmit antenna is considered and it is shown that the problem of finding good codes corresponds geometrically to a packing problem in the complex projective space. We provide new constellations and demonstrate that they perform substantially better than state-of-art known solutions which assume equal prior probabilities for the transmitted codewords. Our results are also of interest for Bayesian receivers which decode constellations with non-uniform priors

A block-fading multi-user OFDMA downlink can be characterized by its outage probability region. For application in wireless resource allocation, a computationally efficient approximation of the outage region is required. The outage region is fully characterized by its Pareto efficient boundary. As a result, a finite set of well-distributed Pareto efficient samples provides the desired efficient approximation. The method of proper equality constraints (PEC) is employed to compute efficient points. In addition, an algorithm for choosing the equality constraints is presented, which provides a good distribution of samples and ensures fast convergence of the nonconvex PEC optimization

We consider blind channel estimation for orthogonal modulation and its variants - which include pulse position modulation (PPM) and frequency shift keying (FSK). While equalization of this modulation format has been given some attention by the research community, little attention has been paid to techniques for (blind) channel estimation in systems employing orthogonal modulation. We extend classical subspace-based blind techniques in a way that is suitable for use with orthogonal modulation. Unlike classical subspace-based blind channel estimators, however, our scheme does not require oversampling and/or multiple sensors. After introducing the system model, we present the proposed method of channel estimation, and include conditions under which the scheme is valid. We conclude with several simulations.

The paper presents performance limits for transmitting correlated Gaussian signals over additive, Gaussian channels with memory and limited transmit power. Both absolute performance limits as well as performance limits for linear systems are given. A bandwidth matching technique is introduced for the adaptation of the signal to the channel. This can be used as an instrument for resource allocation when combining subband source decomposition and OFDM transmission in a source-channel coding environment

Adaptive scheduling schemes which consider channel conditions are examples of cross-layer design in wireless networks. Research work which has been done on optimizing the performance of scheduling systems have shown that in each time slot it is better to transmit to the users with the best channel condition. In order to realize such schemes, most of earlier works have considered perfect feedback channels to send channel state information (CSI) to the scheduler. However, in practical systems there are some sources of imperfectness in feedback channels such as delay and quantization error. In this paper, we consider the effect of CSI delay on the performance of such systems. A new delay-aware scheduling scheme is proposed, which takes into account the difference in delay profiles of different users in the scheduling algorithm. Also a reduced complexity alternative scheme is investigated

This paper considers the problem of blind separation of a MIMO convolutive mixture of i.i.d. source signals. Separation criteria are considered for the overall extraction of source signals according to the use of so-called reference signals. We present a new MIMO contrast function using reference signals, which is moreover seen to have joint-diagonalization interpretation. A link with the PARAFAC decomposition is also emphasized. Finally the performance are investigated through computer simulations

The problem of joint scheduling and beamforming for a multiple antenna broadcast channel with partial channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT) is considered. We show how long-term statistical channel knowledge can be efficiently combined with instantaneous low-rate feedback for user selection and linear beamforming. A low complexity algorithm based on an estimate (bound) of the multiuser interference is proposed. Our scheme is shown to exhibit significant throughput gain over opportunistic techniques, approaching the sum rate of full CSIT for small angle spreads

A new detection algorithm for uncoded multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) systems based on the complex version of the sphere decoder (SD) is presented in this paper. The algorithm performs a fixed number of operations to detect the symbols, independent of the noise level. The algorithm achieves this by combining a novel channel matrix preprocessing with a search through a small subset of the complete receive constellation. Simulation results show it has only a very small bit error ratio (BER) degradation compared to the original SD while being suited for a fully-pipelined hardware implementation due to its fixed complexity

In this paper we focus on a sensor network scheme whose nodes are locally coupled oscillators that evolve in time according to a differential equation, whose parameters depend on the local estimate. The proposed system is capable, by self-synchronization, to reach the network consensus that coincides with the globally optimum maximum likelihood estimate, even though each sensor is only locally coupled with nearby nodes. Our main contribution is to study the effect of propagation delay on both the synchronization capability of the system and the final estimate. We provide delay-independent conditions for the proposed system to synchronize, and we derive closed-form expression of the synchronized state. Interestingly, the effect of propagation delays is simply to introduce a bias on the final estimate, that depends on the network topology and on the values of the delays. The analysis of this bias, suggest us how to design the coupling mechanism in order to alleviate it or even remove it
