Joint Linear Processing for an Amplify-and-Forward MIMO Relay Channel with Imperfect Channel State Information

چکیده
The problem of jointly optimizing the source precoder, relay transceiver, and destination equalizer has been considered in this paper for a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) amplify-and-forward (AF) relay channel, where the channel estimates of all links are assumed to be imperfect. The considered joint optimization problem is nonconvex and does not offer closed-form solutions. However, it has been shown that the optimization of one variable when others are fixed is a convex optimization problem which can be efficiently solved using interior-point algorithms. In this context, an iterative technique with the guaranteed convergence has been proposed for the AF MIMO relay channel that includes the direct link. It has been also shown that, for the double-hop relay case without the receive-side antenna correlations in each hop, the global optimality can be confirmed since the structures of the source precoder, relay transceiver, and destination equalizer have closed forms and the remaining joint power allocation can be solved using Geometric Programming (GP) technique under high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) approximation. In the latter case, the performance of the iterative technique and the GP method has been compared with simulations to ensure that the iterative approach gives reasonably good solutions with an acceptable complexity. Moreover, simulation results verify the robustness of the proposed design when compared to the nonrobust design that assumes estimated channels as actual channels.

Water-filling for full-duplex multiple-hop MIMO relay system
A water-filling (WF) method is one of the techniques to improve a performance of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. However, the application of the WF method to multiple-hop MIMO relay systems (MMRSs) has not been discussed, especially in amplify-and-forward (AF) schemes. In this paper, the WF method for MMRSs with AF scheme is proposed and evaluated in both perfect and imperfect ch...

In this paper, we propose a robust relay precoder in the multiple operator relay sharing system, where multiple base stations transmit to their target user terminals simultaneously with the assistance of an amplify-and-forward relay. The base stations and the user terminals are equipped with single antennas while the relay employs multiple antennas. The channel state information at the relay is...

In this paper, we develop widely linear transmit strategies for two-way relaying networks with single or multiple pairs of users and a MIMO amplify and forward relay. By taking advantage of the noncircularity of the complex-valued transmitted signals, a significant performance gain is obtained over linear transmit strategies when SNR balancing or relay transmit power minimization is chosen as t...
