Energy-efficient communication is an important requirement for mobile relay networks due to the limited battery power of user terminals. This paper considers energy-efficient relaying schemes through selection of mobile relays in cooperative cellular systems with asymmetric traffic. The total energy consumption per information bit of the battery-powered terminals,i.e.,the mobile station (MS) and the relay,is derived in theory. In the joint uplink and downlink relay selection (JUDRS) scheme we proposed,the relay which minimizes the total energy consumption is selected. Additionally,the energy-efficient cooperation regions are investigated,and the optimal relay location is found for cooperative cellular systems with asymmetric traffic. The results reveal that the MS-relay and the relay-base station (BS) channels have different influence over relay selection decisions for optimal energy-efficiency. Information theoretic analysis of the diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) demonstrates that the proposed scheme achieves full spatial diversity in the quantity of cooperating terminals in this network. Finally,numerical results further confirm a significant energy efficiency gain of the proposed algorithm comparing to the previous best worse channel selection and best harmonic mean selection algorithms.
In this article, a Grassmannian precoding multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) scheme for downlink transmission is proposed. The proposed MU-MIMO scheme will perform scheduling and precoding simultaneously at the base station, to obtain both the multiuser diversity gain and the precoding gain, to maximize the system capacity. The precoding method is related to Grassmannian precoding, which extends the point-to-point single-user Grassmannian precoding to point-to-multipoint multiuser Grassmannian precoding. It provides further significant system capacity enhancement than the single user MIMO (SU-MIMO) system and also outperforms the block diagonalization (BD) algorithm under the same simulation environment.
该文针对闭环多用户MIMO-OFDM系统提出一种基于线性预测的低速率CSI(Channel State Information)反馈方法。根据相关带宽将OFDM子载波划分成多个子带,移动台对每个子带的CSI作线性预测,并对预测误差进行量化编码后反馈给基站;基站使用相同的线性预测滤波器将反馈来的预测误差恢复成CSI,然后在每个子带上通过迫零-波束赋形实现多用户空间复用。同时,该文还在采用注水定理分配发射功率的条件下,从理论上分析了下行链路信道容量。数值仿真结果显示,每个反馈数据的实部或虚部仅用1bit量化时,本方法仍能够以较高的精度恢复CSI。与目前3GPP LTE标准所采用的基于码书的反馈方案相比,该方法能够在反馈开销相同情况下,有效地抑制同信道干扰,大幅提高系统容量。
