Optimal Channel Switching and Randomization Over Flat-Fading Channels for Outage Capacity Maximization

Capacity and optimal resource allocation for fading broadcast channels - Part II: Outage capacity

In this two-part paper, we study three capacity regions for fading broadcast channels and obtain their corresponding optimal resource allocation strategies: the ergodic (Shannon) capacity region, the zerooutage capacity region, and the capacity region with outage. In Part I, we obtained the ergodic capacity region of the fading broadcast channel under di erent spectrum-sharing techniques. In th...

Ergodic capacity, outage capacity, and information transmission over Rayleigh fading channels

We consider the lossy transmission of source information over Rayleigh fading channels. We investigate the usefulness of various channel capacity definitions, namely ergodic capacity, where it is assumed that the channel transitions over all the fading states, and outage capacity, where the source is transmitted at a constant rate with a specified outage probability. We also study the outage ra...

A Blind Hammerstein Diversity Combining Technique for Flat Fading Channels

Diversity combining techniques play an important role in combating the destructive effects of channel fading in wireless communication systems. In this work we present a blind diversity combining technique for Rayleigh flat fading channels based on Hammerstein type filters. We show that the performance of this technique is very close to ideal MRC system which is accepted as an optimum receiver ...

Compound Outage Probability and Capacity of a Class of Fading MIMO Channels with Channel Distribution Uncertainty

Outage probability and capacity of a class of block-fading MIMO channels are considered with partial channel distribution information. Specifically, the channel or its distribution are not known but the latter is known to belong to a class of distributions where each member is within a certain distance (uncertainty) from a nominal distribution. Relative entropy is used as a measure of distance ...
