This letter solves the energy efficiency optimization problem for the simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) systems with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), multiple input single output (MISO) and power-splitting structures, where each user may have different individual quality of service (QoS) requirements about information and energy. Nonlinear energy harvesting model is used. Alternate optimization approach is adopted to find the solution, which shows a fast convergence behavior. Simulation results show the proposed scheme has higher energy efficiency than existing dual-layer iteration and throughput maximization methods.
In this paper, we apply extended regularized channel inversion precoding to address the multiuser multiantenna downlink transmission problem. Different from conventional regularized channel inversion precoding, extended RCI precoding considers non-homogeneous channels, adjusts more regularization parameters, and exploits the information gained by inverting the covariance matrix of the channel. Two ways of determining the regularization parameters are investigated. First, the parameters can be determined by solving a max-min SINR problem. The constraints of the problem can be transformed to the second-order cone (SOC) constraints. The optimal solution of the problem can be obtained by iteratively solving a second-order cone programming (SOCP) problem. In order to reduce the computational complexity, a one-shot algorithm is proposed. Second, the sum-rate maximization problem is discussed. The simple gradient-based method is used to solve the problem and get the regularization parameters. The simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithms exhibit improved max-min SINR performance and sum-rate performance over RCI precoding.
This paper studies a simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) system in which the transmitter not only sends data and energy to many types of wireless users, such as multiple information decoding users, multiple hybrid power-splitting users (i.e., users with a power-splitting structure to receive both information and energy), and multiple energy harvesting users, but also prevents information from being intercepted by a passive eavesdropper. The transmitter is equipped with multiple antennas, whereas all users and the eavesdropper are assumed to be equipped with a single antenna. Since the transmitter does not have any channel state information (CSI) about the eavesdropper, artificial noise (AN) power is maximized to mask information as well as to interfere with the eavesdropper as much as possible. The non-convex optimization problem is formulated to minimize the transmit power satisfying all signal-to-interference-plus-noise (SINR) and harvested energy requirements for all users so that the remaining power for generating AN is maximized. With perfect CSI, a semidefinite relaxation (SDR) technique is applied, and the optimal solution is proven to be tight. With imperfect CSI, SDR and a Gaussian randomization algorithm are proposed to find the suboptimal solution. Finally, numerical performance with respect to the maximum SINR at the eavesdropper is determined by a Monte-Carlo simulation to compare the proposed AN scenario with a no-AN scenario, as well as to compare perfect CSI with imperfect CSI.

In this paper, we investigate the problem of maximizing the weighted sum outage rate in multiuser multiple-input single-output (MISO) interference channels, where the transmitters have no knowledge of the exact values of channel coefficients, only the statistical information. Unfortunately, this problem is nonconvex and very difficult to deal with. We propose a new, provably convergent iterative algorithm where in each iteration, the original problem is approximated as second-order cone programming (SOCP) by introducing slack variables and using convex approximation. Simulation results show that the proposed SOCP algorithm converges in a few steps, and yields a better performance gain with a lower computational complexity than existing algorithms.

In this letter, we consider robust beamforming optimization for a multiuser multiple-input single-output system with simultaneous wireless information and power transmission (SWIPT) for the case of imperfect channel state information. Adopting the ellipsoidal uncertainty on channel vector, the robust beamforming design are reformulated as convex semi-definite programming (SDP) by rank-one relaxation. To reduce the complexity, an ellipsoidal uncertainty on channel covariance is studied to derive the equivalent form of original problem. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.
The performance of multiuser multiple-input single-output (MU-MISO) systems is not only affected by small-scale multipath fading but also by large-scale fading (i.e., shadowing) and path loss. In this paper, we concentrate on the sum rate distribution of MU-MISO systems employing linear zero-forcing beamforming, accounting for both multipath fading and shadowing effects, as well as spatial correlation at the transmit and receiver sides. In particular, we consider the classical spatially correlated lognormal model and propose closed-form bounds on the distribution of the achievable sum rates in MU-MISO systems. With the help of these bounds, we derive a relationship between the interuser distance and sum rate corresponding to 10% of the cumulative distribution function under different environmental conditions. A practical conclusion from our results based on the considered system is that the effect of spatially correlated shadowing can be considered to be independent when the interuser distance is approximately five times the shadowing correlation distance. Furthermore, a detailed analysis of the effects of composite channel attenuation consisting of multipath fading and shadowing is also provided.

This study analyzes the performance of a downlink beamformer with partitioned vector quantization under optimized feedback budget allocation. A multiuser multiple-input single-output downlink precoding system with perfect channel state information at mobile stations is considered. The number of feedback bits allocated to the channel quality indicator (CQI) and the channel direction indicator (CDI) corresponding to each partition are optimized by exploiting the quantization mean square error. In addition, the effects of equal and unequal partitioning on codebook memory and system capacity are studied and elucidated through simulations. The results show that with optimized CQI-CDI allocation, the feedback budget distributions of equal or unequal partitions are proportional to the size ratios of the partitioned subvectors. Furthermore, it is observed that for large-sized partitions, the ratio of optimal CDI to CQI is much higher than that for small-sized partitions.

The second generation digital terrestrial broadcasting system (DVB-T2) is the first broadcasting system employing MISO (Multiple-Input Single-Output) algorithms. The potential MISO gain of this system has been roughly predicted through simulations and field tests. Of course, the potential MISO SFN gain (MISO-SFNG) differs according to the simulation conditions, test methods, and measurement environments. In this paper, network gains of SISO-SFN and MISO-SFN are theoretically derived. Such network gains are also analyzed with respect to the receive power imbalance and coverage distances of SISO and MISO SFN. From the analysis, it is proven that MISO-SFNG is always larger than SISO SFN gain (SISO-SFNG) in terms of the achievable SNR. Further, both MISO-SFNG and SISO-SFNG depend on the power imbalance, but the network gains are constant regardless of the modulation order. Once the field strength of the complete SFN is obtained by coverage planning tools or field measurements, the SFN service coverage can be precisely calibrated by applying the closed-form SFNG formula.

In this letter, a quantization error-aware Tomlinson-Harashinma Precoding (THP) is proposed based on the equivalent zero-forcing (ZF) criterion in Multiuser Multiple-Input Single-Output (MU-MISO) systems with limited feedback, where the transmitter has only quantized channel direction information (CDI). This precoding scheme is robust to the channel uncertainties arising from the quantization error and the lack of channel magnitude information (CMI). Our simulation results show that the new THP scheme outperforms the conventional precoding scheme in limited feedback systems with respect to Bit Error Ratio (BER).
In this letter, a prerake combining scheme for signal detection in ultra-wideband (UWB) multiple input single output (MISO) systems with a hybrid pulse amplitude and position modulation (PAPM) is analytically examined. For a UWB MISO system, the analytical BER performance of a prerake combining scheme with PAPM is presented in a log-normal multipath fading channel. The analytical BERs are observed to match well the simulated results for the set of parameters chosen. The prerake diversity combining UWB systems, which can significantly reduce the complexity of the receiver side compared to the rake diversity systems, improve the error performance as the number of transmit antennas increases.

Recently, Li and Xia proposed a physical-layer security design to guarantee a low probability of interception (LPI) for asynchronous cooperative systems without relying on upper-layer data encryption. The proposed scheme utilizes diagonal unitary codes to perform different encoding in the frequency domain over subcarriers within each OFDM block to randomize the transmitted signals. To build on their idea, in this letter, a subcarrier-reference (SR) transmission scheme is proposed with deliberate signal randomization to achieve LPI in multiuser MISO-OFDMA systems. For each user, one of the allocated subcarriers is chosen by the transmitter to send reference signals, and others are chosen to send the user's information symbols. By some deliberate signal randomization, the eavesdropper cannot detect the transmitted symbols, while the authorized users can operate the system successfully without knowledge of the channels by subcarrier-reference demodulation. Extensive simulations are conducted to demonstrate the scheme's effectiveness.

This letter investigates the cluster lifetime of single-hop wireless sensor networks with cooperative Multi-Input Single-Output (MISO) scheme. The energy consumptions of both intra-cluster and out-cluster communications are considered. Moreover, uniform and linear data aggregations are discussed. It is found the optimal transmission scheme varies with the distance from the cluster to the base station. More interestingly and novelly, the effect of cluster size on the cluster lifetime has been clarified.

Recently, a new diversity scheme called spatial phase coding (SPC) have been introduced. In conventional SPC, it was assumed that the channel phases between the transmit antennas and the receive antenna independently vary. However, practical channel phase dependently vary between neighboring subcarriers. In this letter, a feedback design method which is more efficient than conventional SPC is proposed. Furthermore, the scheme to improve the BER performance of conventional SPC using 1-bit feedback is suggested.
In this letter, we consider a diversity precoding scheme for signal detection in ultra-wideband (UWB) multiple input single output (MISO) systems, which consists of linear diversity prefilters in the transmitter. For a UWB MISO system, the BER performance of a linear transmit diversity precoding system with imperfect channel estimation is presented in IEEE 802.15.3a UWB multipath channels and also compared with that of a linear receive diversity postcoding approach. It is shown that the diversity precoding UWB MISO system offers the performance equivalent to the diversity postcoding scheme for single input multiple output (SIMO) systems while making the mobiles low-cost and low-power.

In this paper, the exact distribution of the channel capacity of MISO (multiple-input single-output) systems subject to co-channel interference is derived from an information theoretic viewpoint. It is found that the MISO channel capacity in the interference-limited channel follows the F-distribution. By using these capacity distributions, the outage capacity in Rayleigh fading channels can be accurately computed. We confirm the accuracy of our analysis by performing simulations. Our results exactly match those of the empirical simulations of interference-limited systems.

Simple but efficient antenna selection schemes are proposed for the downlink of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transmission with multiple transmit antennas over frequency selective fading channels, where transmit antennas are selected at the mobile terminal and the base station is informed of the selected antennas through feedback channel. To obtain the optimal antenna selection, channel frequency responses are required and performances have to be evaluated at all the subcarriers. To reduce the computational complexity at mobile terminal, time-domain channels are utilized for antenna selection in place of channel frequency responses. Our scheme does not guarantee the optimal antenna selection but is shown by numerical simulations to yield reasonable selections. Moreover, by using a specially designed pilot OFDM preamble, an antenna selection without channel estimation is developed. Efficiencies of our suboptimal antenna selections with less computational complexities are verified by numerical simulations.

In this letter, we compare a Multiple-Input Single-Output (MISO)-Ultra WideBand (UWB)- Impulse Radio (IR) system and a Single-Input Single-Output (SISO)-UWB-IR system at high transmission rates. We evaluate the Bit Error Rate (BER) of the two systems with some RAKE receivers under heavy multipath environments. From the results of our computer simulation, we show that the SISO-UWB-IR system with Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE)-RAKE receiver is a good candidate to achieve high transmission rates.
With the need and adoption of link aggregation where multiple links exist between two adjacent nodes in order to increase transmission capacity between them, there arise the problems of service guarantee and fair sharing of multiple servers. Although a lot of significant work has been done for single-server scheduling disciplines in the past years, not much work is available for multi-server scheduling disciplines. In this paper, we present and investigate two round robin based multi-server scheduling disciplines, which are Multi-Server Uniform Round Robin (MS-URR) and Multi-Server Deficit Round Robin (MS-DRR). In particular, we analyze their service guarantees and fairness bounds. In addition, we discuss the misordering problem with MS-DRR and present a bound for its misordering probability.

Laser induced boron doping of silicon is studied as a function of the laser pulse number and energy density, in a special configuration where the precursor gas (BCl3) is injected and chemisorbed on the Si surface prior to each laser pulse. In-situ optical diagnostics, based on the transient reflectivity at 675 nm, allow to control the evolution of the dopant concentration and of the doped layer thickness during the laser doping process. Samples are characterized by the four-point probe method, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). As the laser pulse number is scanned from 10 to 200 at a constant laser pulse energy, the junction depth increases from 21 to 74 nm while its sheet resistance decreases from 220 to 17 Ω/. Moreover, boron concentrations well above the solubility limit (up to 31021 cm-3 for 200 pulses) and very abrupt box-like dopant profiles are obtained. So, laser doping, in this dopant gas injection configuration, seems to be a very attractive technique to meet the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) requirements for ultra-shallow junctions.
