Design and Convergence Analysis of an IIC-based BICM-ID Receiver for FBMC-QAM Systems

In this paper, an iterative interference cancellation (IIC) based BICM-ID receiver is designed to cancel the intrinsic interference in FBMC-QAM systems. The proposed receiver consist of an inner decoder, which combines iterative demodulation and interference cancellation, and an outer decoder which is a low density parity check (LDPC) channel decoder. To evaluate the convergence behaviour of the proposed receiver, extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) chart analysis is employed, where EXIT curves for the components of the iterative decoder are derived. Numerical results show that the intrinsic interference in FBMC-QAM systems can be removed by adopting the proposed IIC-based BICM-ID receiver.

Beamforming and Resource Allocation for Multi-User Full-Duplex Wireless Powered Communications in IoT Networks

For a self-sustaining wireless communication system in Internet-of-Things (IoT) networks, energy harvesting (EH) can be implemented at each user node as a constant renewable power supply source. Hence, an investigation into the use of wireless powered communication network (WPCN) protocols to facilitate communication between an access point (AP) and multiple mobile users (MUs) is presented in this paper. The AP has multiple antennas and operates in the full-duplex (FD) mode. The MUs, on the other hand, have single antennas and works in the half-duplex (HD) mode. Each MU communicating with the FD-AP is assigned to one of two groups, based on the time allocation and channel access for either uplink (UL) or downlink (DL) communication. The channel assignment, time resource, and power resource allocations are optimized to maximize the UL weighted sum-rate. The sum-rate optimization problem is found to be non-convex. Therefore, an iterative algorithm is investigated to optimize the UL weighted sum-rate of the propose FD-WPCN system. Next, the proposed FD-WPCN algorithm is modified for a HD-WPCN enabled communication between the AP and multiple MUs. Extensive simulations are conducted to verify the proposed algorithm for FD-WPCN and compare its performance with the HD-WPCN counterpart. From the simulation results, FD-WPCN outperformed HD-WPCN at a low AP transmit signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region. The opposite behavior is observed for high AP transmit SNR due to increasing residual self-interference at the FD-AP.
