چکیده

With the advent of small cell networks (SCNs) to support growing wireless data volumes and thus reduced cell sizes, cooperative communications are significantly facilitated. Applicable to 3GPP LTE-A, we propose a novel channel/queue-aware user pairing and scheduling scheme in a cooperative virtual multiple-input multiple-output (VMIMO) system. The queueing performance of the VMIMO system with the scheduling scheme is analyzed based on the finite-state Markov model (FSMM), and compared with that of non-cooperative systems. Bounds on the average queuing delay of users are derived by using a semi-definite programming (SDP) approach. The presented analyses are validated through comparing the analytical and simulation results. It is found that the introduced VMIMO pairing process is able to significantly reduce service delays, bringing on a positive impact of cooperative techniques on next generation wireless systems. Index Terms – VMIMO, Pairing, Finite-State Markov Model (FSMM).

Clustering and power management for virtual MIMO communications in wireless sensor networks

Multi-input multi-output (MIMO) is a well-established technique for increasing the link throughput, extending the transmission range, and/or reducing energy consumption. In the context of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), even if each node is equipped with a single antenna, it is possible to group several nodes to form a virtual antenna array, which can act as the transmitting or receiving end o...

Sum-Rate Maximization Based on Power Constraints for Cooperative AF Relay Networks

In this paper, our objective is maximizing total sum-rate subject to power constraints on total relay transmit power or individual relay powers, for amplify-and-forward single-antenna relay-based wireless communication networks. We derive a closed-form solution for the total power constraint optimization problem and show that the individual relay power constraints optimization problem is a quad...
