Energy efficiency joint optimization algorithm for low-precision ADC massive MIMO systems by Haiyan CAO, Wenjuan HU, Yingjuan ZHI, Fangmin XU, Xin FANG

“…An uplink energy efficiency optimization algorithm based on alternating optimization algorithm was proposed for large-scale multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with low-precision analog to digital converters (ADC).That is,based on the maximum ratio combining (MRC) reception,an optimization model aiming at maximizing energy efficiency was established,and then the original fractional form optimization problem was converted into an equivalent subtractive form according to the nature of the fractional programming.In the case where the number of quantization bits was constant,the iterative optimization of the transmission power and the pilot length were performed.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better spectral efficiency and energy efficiency.…”

Channel estimation based on compressive sensing in two-way amplify-and-forward relay channel by Hao WEI, Bao-yu ZHENG, Xiao-yun HOU, Yan ZHU

“…The sparsity of concatenated convolutional channel in two-way amplify-and-forward relay was analyzed.Through the appropriate design of the pilot,the synthetic concatenated convolutional channels could be decomposed into two independent concatenated convolutional channels for channel estimation.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the concatenated convolutional channel possesses sparsity which varies within a range.The proposed scheme completes the two-way exchange of information by finishing concatenated convolutional channel estimation in end nodes.Without the priori information of the channel sparsity,this scheme improves the utilization of spectrum resources and the performance of channel estimation.…”

Channel estimation method for massive MIMO system in Rice channel by Xueli WANG, Haiquan WANG, Xiao LI, Dakuan YANG

“…The high-speed mobile transportations,such as high-speed rails,pilot-less airplanes,are mostly in the open areas.Due to the existence of line of sight (LOS) propagations,the Rayleigh fading model can not describe the channels very well in these environments.The Rice fading channel model is constituted of a LOS component and a multiple-path component,which can characterize the channels more accurately.Based on the Rice model,the improved channel estimation methods and corresponding decoding methods were proposed based on the superimposed training sequences for massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system.The improved channel estimation methods were divided into two cases:the LOS component was known to the receiver and the other was unknown.The numerical simulation results show that the superiority of the proposed methods.…”
