چکیده

This paper explores the use of quasi-static frequency-domain antenna combining weights for multi-user (e.g., SDMA) or multi-stream (e.g., MIMO) communication systems operating in rapidly time-varying frequency-selective channels. By implementing combining weights that are constant across a time slot but are updated from slot-to-slot (i.e., “quasi-static”), great computational complexity savings can be realized compared to calculating new weights at each data block within a time slot. The quasi-static weights are computed by first modeling the timevarying channel for each user as the superposition of multiple time-invariant channels, called Doppler channels. The weights are then calculated based on all users’ Doppler channels. These new weights work by using some of the degrees of freedom of the antenna array to suppress time variations as well as multiple access interference. Despite being fixed across a time slot, these weights can equalize and suppress SDMA interference even when the channel varies significantly over the slot. Simulation results show the effectiveness of these weights for equalization and interference suppression.

Space-time overlays for convolutionally coded systems

In this paper, we consider the design of space–time overlays to upgrade single-antenna wireless communication systems to efficiently accommodate multiple transmit antennas. We define the overlay constraint such that the signal transmitted from the first antenna in the upgraded system is the same as that in the single-antenna system. The signals transmitted from the remaining antennas are design...

Deterministic approaches for blind equalization of time-varying channels with antenna arrays

In this paper, we study the blind equalization problem of time-varying (TV) systems where the channel variations are too rapid to be tracked with conventional adaptive equalizers. We show that using a finite Fourier basis expansion, a TV antenna array system can be cast into a time-invariant multiinput, multi-output (MIMO) framework. The multiple inputs are related through the bases, thereby al...

Performance Analysis and Constituent Code Design for Space-Time Turbo Coded Modulation over Fading Channels

Recent advances in space-time coding and array processing have lead to substantial improvements in broadband wireless access systems. A design method for constituent recursive space-time trellis codes (Rec-STTrCs) and parallel concatenated space-time turbo coded modulation (STTuCM) was introduced recently as a new framework for building low complexity, large equivalent constraint-length STTrCs....

Wrapped Space-Time Codes for Quasi-Static Multiple-Antenna Channels

We propose a new space-time coding scheme for the quasi-static multiple-antenna channel with perfect channel state information at the receiver and no channel state information at the transmitter. The new scheme includes both trellis space-time codes and layered space-time codes as special cases. When the number of transmit antennas is not larger than the number of receive antennas our scheme ca...
