Trends of Basic Research in Wireless Networks Yingbo Hua University of California, Riverside June 2008 Fundamentals of Wireless Communications What is slow fading or fast fading? What are diversity-order and coding gain? What is SVD? What is MMSE estimation? What is successive interference cancellation? What is orthogonal scheduling? Channel Fading Wireless channel model: Diversity Order If the probability of detection error is in the order of 1/SNR^d when SNR is large, we say that the diversity order is d. For the same power, the larger is the diversity order, the smaller is the error rate. To improve diversity order, one can use time repetition, frequency repetition, and/or space-time coding. Alamouti code – rate-1 orthogonal code: Coding Gain If a coding method has the prob of error: a/SNR^d and another coding method has the prob of error: b/SNR^d, then we say that method 2 has a coding gain over method 1 by 10log_10 (a/b) in dB. Note: Diversity order is of the first order importance. Coding gain is of the second order importance. SVD Any m by n matrix A (real or complex, square or rectangular) can be decomposed into: MMSE Estimation Given random vector y, the MMSE estimate of another random vector x is Successive Interference Cancellation Consider one receiver receiving information from two transmitters simultaneously. It is possible for the receiver to recover info from user 1 first, and then remove the user-1 signal before recovering info from user 2. The sum capacity is Orthogonal Scheduling Consider the previous problem with orthogonal scheduling (TDMA or FDMA). The sum capacity is MIMO Channel MIMO link capacity Channel model: Capacity: bits/s where If (assumed to be known) then the optimal source covariance matrix is where Related results on single MIMO link Zero-forcing receiver, MMSE receiver MIMO multiuser downlink MIMO multiuser uplink Duality Dirty paper coding based capacity Channel state information feedback Rese
