Performance analysis of zero-forcing coordinated MIMO transmission in interference channels by Hai-rong WANG, Jian DONG, Yong-ming HUANG, ANGLV-xi Y

“…The performance of the zero-forcing (ZF) coordinated transmit strategy in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) interference channels was investigated.With the goal to derive analytical expression of its performance metric such as the sum rate and the outage probability,the asymptotic behavior of the performance metric was examined with the MIMO dimension tending to infinity.Using the random ma ix theory,an asymptotic estimate of all the eigenvalues of the effective channel matrix in the ZF coordinated transmit strategy was first proposed.Based on that,two closed-form expressions of the sum rate were derived,from which the scaling law of the sum rate with the MIMO dimension was obtained.Furthermore,using the multivariate statistics about the probability density distribution of the minimum eigenvalue of a Wishart matrix,the analytical expression of the outage probability for the coordinated transmit scheme was achieved under two special cases.Simulation results show that the proposed tical expression of the performance metric is valid not only in the large-dimension regime,but also in the normal-dimension regime.…”

MBER power allocation for joint precoding and space-time coding GFDM by Jianhui CAI, Guangqiu LI, Yanxu DUAN

“…In order to improve the bit error rate (BER) and bandwidth utilization performance of generalized frequency division multiplexing (GFDM) system over frequency selective fading channels, based on the minimum bit error rate (MBER) criterion, a joint precoding and space-time coding (STC) GFDM system and its corresponding power allocation strategy were proposed.The optimization goal of the power allocation strategy for the precoding STC-GFDM system can be converted from MBER to minimizing its noise enhancement factor, and the analytical expressions of its power allocation, bit error rate (BER) and bandwidth utilization were derived.Numerical calculation and simulation results show that compared with the precoding STC-GFDM system, the BER performance of precoding STC-GFDM system based on MBER criterion can be improved by about 0.4 dB when BER is 10^-3, and the bandwidth utilization performance can be improved by about 0.24 bit/(s·Hz) when signal to noise ratiois 12 dB.…”

Research on constrained policy reinforcement learning based multi-objective optimization of computing power network by Linjiang SHEN, Chang CAO, Chao CUI, Yan ZHANG

“…The computing power network needs to maximize the system performance index on the basis of meeting user business needs, and the existing methods are mainly based on the multi-objective weighting method, which has problems such as difficult to determine hyperparameters and poor cross-scenario applicability.Based on this, based on the analysis of the characteristics of the computing power network target, the user business requirements were taken as the policy constraints, and the performance indicators of the computing power network was taken as the optimization goal based on constrained policy optimization, and the expectation certainty of user business needs and the optimization of system performance through the value-strategy-hyper-parameter multi-level iterative strategy was realized.At the same time, the multi-scale step length (MSL) method for hyper-parameter optimization was studied, which further improved the stability and accuracy of the system.Simulation results show that the proposed method has good convergence and stability under the conditions of single terminal-single edge server, multi-terminal-multi-edge server and system load change.…”
