Full-Duplex Radio for Uplink/Downlink Transmission with Spatial Randomness

We consider a wireless system with a full-duplex (FD) access point (AP) that transmits to a scheduled user in the downlink (DL) channel, while receiving data from an user in the uplink (UL) channel at the same time on the same frequency. In this system, loopback interference (LI) at the AP and inter user interference between the uplink (UL) user and downlink (DL) user can cause performance degradation. In order to characterize the effects of LI and inter user interference, we derive closed-form expressions for the outage probability and achievable sum rate of the system. In addition an asymptotic analysis that reveals insights into the system behavior and performance degradation is presented. Our results indicate that under certain conditions, FD transmissions yield performance gains over half-duplex (HD) mode of operation.

Relay Selection and Performance Analysis in Multiple-User Networks

This paper investigates the relay selection (RS) problem in networks with multiple users and multiple common amplify-and-forward (AF) relays. Considering the overall quality-of-service of the network, we first specify our definition of optimal RS for multiple-user relay networks. Then an optimal RS (ORS) algorithm is provided, which is a straightforward extension of an RS scheme in the literature that maximizes the minimum end-to-end receive signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of all users. The complexity of the ORS is quadratic in both the number of users and the number of relays. Then a suboptimal RS (SRS) scheme is proposed, which has linear complexity in the number of relays and quadratic complexity in the number of users. Furthermore, diversity orders of both the ORS and the proposed SRS are theoretically derived and compared with those of a naive RS scheme and the single-user RS network. It is shown that the ORS achieves full diversity; while the diversity order of the SRS decreases with the the number of users. For two-user networks, the outage probabilities and array gains corresponding to the minimum SNR of the RS schemes are derived in closed forms. It is proved that the advantage of the SRS over the naive RS scheme increases as the number of relays in the network increases. Simulation results are provided to corroborate the analytical results.

Annotated Raptor Codes

In this paper, an extension of raptor codes is introduced which keeps all the desirable properties of raptor codes, including the linear complexity of encoding and decoding per information bit, unchanged. The new design, however, improves the performance in terms of the reception rate. Our simulations show a 10% reduction in the needed overhead at the benchmark block length of 64,520 bits and with the same complexity per information bit.

Optimal Bandwidth and Power Allocation for Sum Ergodic Capacity under Fading Channels in Cognitive Radio Networks

This paper studies optimal bandwidth and power allocation in a cognitive radio network where multiple secondary users (SUs) share the licensed spectrum of a primary user (PU) under fading channels using the frequency division multiple access scheme. The sum ergodic capacity of all the SUs is taken as the performance metric of the network. Besides all combinations of the peak/average transmit power constraints at the SUs and the peak/average interference power constraint imposed by the PU, total bandwidth constraint of the licensed spectrum is also taken into account. Optimal bandwidth allocation is derived in closed-form for any given power allocation. The structures of optimal power allocations are also derived under all possible combinations of the aforementioned power constraints. These structures indicate the possible numbers of users that transmit at nonzero power but below their corresponding peak powers, and show that other users do not transmit or transmit at their corresponding peak power. Based on these structures, efficient algorithms are developed for finding the optimal power allocations.

Joint Bandwidth and Power Allocation with Admission Control in Wireless Multi-User Networks With and Without Relaying

Equal allocation of bandwidth and/or power may not be efficient for wireless multi-user networks with limited bandwidth and power resources. Joint bandwidth and power allocation strategies for wireless multi-user networks with and without relaying are proposed in this paper for (i) the maximization of the sum capacity of all users; (ii) the maximization of the worst user capacity; and (iii) the minimization of the total power consumption of all users. It is shown that the proposed allocation problems are convex and, therefore, can be solved efficiently. Moreover, the admission control based joint bandwidth and power allocation is considered. A suboptimal greedy search algorithm is developed to solve the admission control problem efficiently. The conditions under which the greedy search is optimal are derived and shown to be mild. The performance improvements offered by the proposed joint bandwidth and power allocation are demonstrated by simulations. The advantages of the suboptimal greedy search algorithm for admission control are also shown.

Four-Group Decodable Space-Time Block Codes

Two new rate-one full-diversity space-time block codes (STBC) are proposed. They are characterized by the \emph{lowest decoding complexity} among the known rate-one STBC, arising due to the complete separability of the transmitted symbols into four groups for maximum likelihood detection. The first and the second codes are delay-optimal if the number of transmit antennas is a power of 2 and even, respectively. The exact pair-wise error probability is derived to allow for the performance optimization of the two codes. Compared with existing low-decoding complexity STBC, the two new codes offer several advantages such as higher code rate, lower encoding/decoding delay and complexity, lower peak-to-average power ratio, and better performance.
