  • Article: Joint Viterbi Decoding and Decision Feedback Equalization for Monobit Digital Receivers
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: In ultra-wideband (UWB) communication systems with impulse radio (IR) modulation, the bandwidth is usually 1GHz or more. To process the received signal digitally, high sampling rate analog-digital-converters (ADC) are required. Due to the high complexity and large power consumption, monobit ADC is appropriate. The optimal monobit receiver has been derived. But it is not efficient to combat intersymbol interference (ISI). Decision feedback equalization (DFE) is an effect way dealing with ISI. In this paper, we proposed a algorithm that combines Viterbi decoding and DFE together for monobit receivers. In this way, we suppress the impact of ISI effectively, thus improving the bit error rate (BER) performance. By state expansion, we achieve better performance. The simulation results show that the algorithm has about 1dB SNR gain compared to separate demodulation and decoding method and 1dB loss compared to the BER performance in the channel without ISI. Compare to the full resolution detection in fading channel without ISI, it has 3dB SNR loss after state expansion.

  • Article: One-sided Precoder Designs on Manifolds for Interference Alignment
    Chen Zhang, Huarui Yin, Guo Wei
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Interference alignment (IA) is a technique recently shown to achieve the maximum degrees of freedom (DoF) of $K$-user interference channel. In this paper, we focus on the precoder designs on manifolds for IA. By restricting the optimization only at the transmitters' side, it will alleviate the overhead induced by alternation between the forward and reverse links significantly. Firstly a classical steepest descent (SD) algorithm in multi-dimensional complex space is proposed to achieve feasible IA. Then we reform the optimization problem on Stiefel manifold, and propose a novel SD algorithm based on this manifold with lower dimensions. Moreover, aiming at further reducing the complexity, Grassmann manifold is introduced to derive corresponding algorithm for reaching the perfect IA. Numerical simulations show that the proposed algorithms on manifolds have better convergence performance and higher system capacity than previous methods, also achieve the maximum DoF.

    Article: Monobit Digital Receivers for QPSK: Design, Analysis and Performance
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Future communication system requires large bandwidth to achieve high data rate up to multigigabit/ sec, which makes analog-to-digital (ADC) become a key bottleneck for the implementation of digital receivers due to its high complexity and large power consumption. Therefore, monobit receivers for BPSK have been proposed to address this problem. In this work, QPSK modulation is considered for higher data rate. First, the optimal receiver based on monobit ADC with Nyquist sampling is derived, and its corresponding performance in the form of deflection ratio is calculated. Then a suboptimal but more practical monobit receiver is obtained, along with iterative demodulation and small sample removal. The effect of the imbalances between the In-phase (I) and Quadrature-phase (Q) branches, including the amplitude and phase imbalances, is carefully investigated too. To combat the performance loss caused by IQ imbalances, monobit receivers based on double training sequences are proposed. Numerical simulations show that the low-complexity suboptimal receiver suffers only 3dB signal to noise ratio (SNR) loss in AWGN channels and 1dB SNR loss in multipath static channels compared with the matched filter based monobit receiver with full channel state information (CSI). The impact of the phase difference between the transmitter and receiver is presented. It is observed that the performance degradation caused by the amplitude imbalance is negligible. Receivers based on double training sequences can efficiently compensate the performance loss in AWGN channel. Thanks to the diversity offered by the multipath, the effect of imbalances on monobit receivers in fading channels is slight. I

    Article: Interference Alignment and Degrees of Freedom Region of Cellular Sigma Channel
    Huarui Yin, Lei, Ke, Zhengdao Wang
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: We investigate the Degrees of Freedom (DoF) Region of a cellular network, where the cells can have overlapping areas. Within an overlapping area, the mobile users can access multiple base stations. We consider a case where there are two base stations both equipped with multiple antennas. The mobile stations are all equipped with single antenna and each mobile station can belong to either a single cell or both cells. We completely characterize the DoF region for the uplink channel assuming that global channel state information is available at the transmitters. The achievability scheme is based on interference alignment at the base stations.

    Article: Degrees of Freedom Region for an Interference Network with General Message Demands
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: We consider a single hop interference network with $K$ transmitters and $J$ receivers, all having $M$ antennas. Each transmitter emits an independent message and each receiver requests an arbitrary subset of the messages. This generalizes the well-known $K$-user $M$-antenna interference channel, where each message is requested by a unique receiver. For our setup, we derive the degrees of freedom (DoF) region. The achievability scheme generalizes the interference alignment schemes proposed by Cadambe and Jafar. In particular, we achieve general points in the DoF region by using multiple base vectors and aligning all interferers at a given receiver to the interferer with the largest DoF. As a byproduct, we obtain the DoF region for the original interference channel. We also discuss extensions of our approach where the same region can be achieved by considering a reduced set of interference alignment constraints, thus reducing the time-expansion duration needed. The DoF region for the considered system depends only on a subset of receivers whose demands meet certain characteristics. The geometric shape of the DoF region is also discussed.

    Article: Comments on Degrees of freedom region for $K$-user interference channel with $M$ antennas

    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: For a $K$-user interference channel with $M$ antenna at each transmitter and each receiver, the maximum total DoF of this channel has been previously determined to be $\max \sum_{k=1}^K d_k = MK/2$. However, the DoF region remains to be unknown. In this short note, through a simple time-sharing argument, we obtain the degrees of freedom (DoF) region of this channel. Comment: 2 pages

  • Article: Monobit digital receivers: design, performance, and application to impulse radio
    Huarui Yin, Zhengdao Wang, Lei Ke, Jun Wang
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Digital receivers for future high-rate high-bandwidth communication systems will require large sampling rate. This is especially true for ultra-wideband (UWB) communications with impulse radio (IR) modulation. Due to high complexity and large power consumption, multibit high-rate analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is difficult to implement. Monobit receiver has been previously proposed to relax the need for high-rate ADC. In this paper, we derive optimal digital processing architecture for receivers based on monobit ADC with a certain over-sampling rate and the corresponding theoretically achievable performance. A practically appealing suboptimal iterative receiver is also proposed. Iterative decision-directed weight estimation, and small sample removal are distinctive features of the proposed detector. Numerical simulations show that compared with full resolution matched filter based receiver, the proposed low complexity monobit receiver incurs only 2 dB signal to noise ratio (SNR) loss in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and 3.5dB SNR loss in standard UWB fading channels.

  • Conference Proceeding: ARQ Protocols for Two-User Cooperative Diversity Systems
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Automatic repeat-request (ARQ) protocols for two-user cooperative diversity system employing Alamouti space-time coding are investigated in this paper. A whole cooperative transmit frame of the original cooperative system consists of three sub-frames. According to different feedback schedules in a transmit frame at the destination, two basic ARQ protocols, namely post-cooperating and pre-cooperating, are proposed and analyzed. We show that both proposed ARQ protocols can improve the throughput in two-user cooperative system. Pre-cooperating protocol yields 50% gains in users' throughput than post-cooperating protocol if both users have high user-destination average received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the destination. Nevertheless, if both of user-destination average received SNRs are low, post-cooperating protocol is more effective than pre-cooperating protocol. Proposed protocols provide useful basic tools for designing more complicated ARQ protocols. Finally, simulation results verify our analysis.

  • Conference Proceeding: Selective cooperation based on overall power minimization in wireless networks
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: In this paper, we propose a selective cooperative scheme based on overall power minimization in wireless networks. While cooperation can potentially improve communication quality, this improvement often comes at a price in terms of extra power consumption for protocol overhead and the relaying device running. As such, we contend that it is worthwhile to consider a scheme that satisfies an overall symbol error rate (SER) constraint such that cooperation is only invoked to save power when necessary. We study that issue by looking at the overall power consumptions of cooperative and non-cooperative schemes in a 3-node model. Optimal power allocation strategies under an overall SER constraint are derived for both non-cooperative scheme and DF cooperative scheme. Taking into account overhead power, the scheme with minimum overall consumed power is adopted for a source-destination pair. When cooperative scheme is used, the potential relay leading to minimum overall power is also selected as the best relay. To reduce the complexity of the selective scheme, three geographical parameters, which are used to make decisions in proposed selective scheme, are evaluated. Numerical results show that the selective cooperative scheme is more power-efficient than both non-cooperative scheme and conventional cooperative scheme.

  • Conference Proceeding: Burst Impulse Radio Communication with the Aid of Non-Coherent Methods
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Burst communication is an important data transmission mode in wireless sensor network (WSN). Impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR UWB), which is a desired candidate of the physical layer of WSN, has been widely investigated. However, synchronization and timing recovery of coherent method requires a relative large system cost, which may constrain the widely use of impulse system. In this paper, we propose a coherent communication strategy while using non-coherent way to deal with the synchronization issue. This strategy can achieve a fast acquisition and precise timing with lower complexity, making the burst IR communication become promising in wireless sensor network.

  • Conference Proceeding: A Jitter-Robust High Data Rate Impulse Radio System with an Orthogonal Sinusoidal Correlation Receiver
    Han Huang, Huarui Yin, Guo Wei, Jinkang Zhu
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: In this paper, the impulse radio (IR) system of pulse position amplitude modulation (PPAM) using an orthogonal sinusoidal correlation receiver (OSCR) is proposed. PPAM combines pulse position modulation (PPM) with pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) to provide higher data throughput with low computational complexity. But the performance of PPAM is considerably sensitive to timing jitter. OSCR has remarkable tolerance against timing jitter, and thus can process PPAM signals with little SNR degradation. Simulation results show that the proposed system can provide higher data throughput while maintain the BER performance even when timing jitter is relatively large
