Joint transmit-receive space-time equalization in spatially correlated MIMO channels: a beamforming approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multi-input multi-output (MIMO) channels have been shown in the literature to present a significant capacity increase over single-input single-output ones in some situations. To achieve this theoretical capacity, the constituent parallel subchannels arising from the MIMO channel have to be properly used. Many practical schemes are being currently developed to achieve this goal. In this paper, we first show that, from an information-theoretic point of view, beamforming becomes asymptotically optimal as the spatial correlation of the channel fading increases. In light of this result, wideband beamvectors are jointly derived for both transmission and reception. We allow a controlled partial response and design zero-forcing and minimum mean–squared error transmit–receive filters. Conceptually, the beamforming scheme is shown to decompose into two stages: the first one corresponds to a spatial flattening of the MIMO channel, i.e., choosing the subchannel with the highest gain at each frequency; the second stage depends on the particular design criterion and performs a power distribution at the transmitter and defines the equalizer at the receiver. These methods are further extended to the general case of multiple beamforming, i.e., when more than one subchannel are used. An exact and practical implementation of a modified “waterfilling” solution required for the filter design is proposed. All derived methods are assessed and compared in terms of capacity and bit-error rate.

Single-Carrier Frequency-Domain Equalization for Orthogonal STBC over Frequency-Selective MIMO-PLC channels
In this paper we propose a new space diversity scheme for broadband PLC systems using orthogonal space-time block coding (OSTBC) transmission combined with single-carrier frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE). To apply this diversity technique to PLC channels, we first propose a new technique for combining SC-FDE with OSTBCs applicable to all dispersive multipath channels impaired by impulsive...

In this paper we introduce a technique of eigenbeamforming based on the channel correlation matrix and paired with orthogonal space-time code (O-STBC) at the transmitter side of the link. This structure combines the spatial signal paths decorrelation with the diversity gain provided by the space-time code, which results in performance improvement. The probability distributions for both bit-erro...

This paper focuses on capacity-maximization-based joint transmit/receive antenna selection scheme in IEEE 802.11n MIMO-OFDM WLANs with antenna arrays of higher-order modal SMP-SCP-ULA over spatially-correlated Ricean fading channels. As the selection signalling is perfectly fed back to transmitter we propose joint antenna selection and we use a flexible Two-Step Selection Algorithm (TSSA) at re...
