A multiuser large-scale MIMO system with antenna correlation and mutual coupling is investigated in this paper. Based on the maximum signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) criteria, the optimal beamforming (BF) vector at the base station (BS) for each user is first obtained using statistical channel state information (CSI). Then, a closed-form expression for the achievable sum rate is derived in terms of a finite number of generalized Meijer-G functions, which is applicable to an arbitrary number of array elements and/or users, and provides an efficient means of evaluating the system performance. Finally, numerical results are provided to confirm the validity of the theoretical analysis and show the impact of various channel parameters on the system performance.

In this paper, the performance of generalized channel inversion (GCI) technique for a multiuser MIMO system operating under antenna mutual coupling conditions is investigated. The investigation is performed via theoretical derivations and computer simulations. The theoretical derivations show that the presence of mutual coupling may result in an increased performance in terms of sum rate capacity. The simulation experiments confirm the theoretical findings in examples of three groups of numerical results. These results show that the existence of mutual coupling in an array antenna at base station (BS) results in an increased sum rate capacity when antenna interelement spacing at BS is smaller than 0.55 λ. Also it is shown that the presence of mutual coupling at mobile user (MS) terminals results in an increased sum rate capacity when antenna inter-element spacing at MSs is smaller than 0.4 λ. When mutual coupling is considered at both BS and MSs, the system configuration with antenna inter-element spacing equal to 0.45 λat BS and 0.4 λat MSs leads to the highest sum rate capacity.

In this paper, we consider secure transmission in the downlink of a multicell multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system with M cells; each cell consists of an N-antenna base station (BS) and K single-antenna users. Coordinated beamforming (CBf) is employed for secrecy enhancement. For CBf, the BSs can jointly design their respective beamformers to control intercell interference and information leakage. Based on regularized channel inversion (RCI) precoding structures, we derive the concise formulas for the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) for the legitimate users and the colluding malicious users and the achievable secrecy sum rate for the CBf. Furthermore, we obtain a novel closed-form expression of the secrecy sum in the large-system regime where N and K tend to infinity with a fixed ratio β=K/N. Based on the large-system regime result, the regularization parameter is optimized to maximize the secrecy sum rate. It shows that the optimal regularization parameter decreases with the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and stays constant at high SNR if β>1/M. Compared with single-cell processing (SCP) without BS cooperation, simulation results show that the secrecy performance can be significantly enhanced by exploiting CBf. The analytical results are validated with the finite-size system by simulation.

Abstract The performance of Large-scale MIMO system is degraded by Pilot Contamination. In order to reduce Pilot Contamination, a downlink precoding algorithm is put forward, based on Interference Alignment (IA). The main idea of this algorithm is aligning the pilot contamination and inter-cell interference to the same null space in order to acquire the maximal degrees of freedom. Then the downlink receiving precoding matrix is solved with respect to a maximal SINR (Signal Interference Noise Ratio) criterion. Exploiting the channel reciprocity and an iterative process, Base station and User Equipment switch transmitting and receiving roles in the uplink and downlink, the precoding matrices of the Base station and User Equipment is gradually updated until convergence. Finally, the simulation results have shown that the algorithm proposed can efficiently mitigate the impact of pilot contamination and outperform some popular precoding algorithms, e.g., MF precoding algorithm and MMSE precoding algorithm. When the number of antennas increases, the performance of the proposed algorithm will be greatly improved.

Large Scale Multi User-MIMO (MU-MIMO) is a key technology with reference to 5G to achieve higher spectrum as well as energy efficiency. The new technology refers to the use of a large number of antennas at the base station serving many user terminals in the same time and frequency resource allowing the channel vectors nearly orthogonal as a result, there is a reduction in inter-user interference and users may be served with the significant data rate. The linear precoding techniques play a vital role in the reduction of interference among users and cells. In this paper, we have derived, analyzed and compared two important precoding techniques i.e. Zero-forcing (ZF) and Conjugate beamforming (CB) for large-scale multiuser-MIMO. We analyze these precoding techniques with respect to spectral efficiency and downlink power with imperfect channel state information (CSI) as well as with perfect CSI. It is shown that ZF performs better as compared to CB precoding for achieving higher spectral efficiency and requires lower downlink power. CB outperforms the ZF in terms of downlink transmit power when there is a requirement to achieve low spectral efficiency and also for celledge users, hence energy efficient in these cases. It is shown from simulation results that ZF precoding is the better choice for attaining higher spectral and energy efficiency for a large scale multiuser-MIMO communication system.

Three-dimensional (3D) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system can exploit the spatial degree of freedom in vertical dimension and can significantly improve system performance compared with 2D transmission scheme. However, in the actual frequency division duplex (FDD) transmission mode, the large overhead of the reference signal and channel state information (CSI) feedback would become a barrier for performance improvement of 3D MIMO system with the significantly increased number of transmit antennas. To deal with these problems, this paper proposes a new transmission scheme of the channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS), where the CSI-RS is precoded with 3D beamforming vectors and composed of two components: long-term CSI-RS and short-term CSI-RS. For the purpose of conducting efficient transmission in widely used FDD system, we also propose a corresponding limited channel state information feedback scheme. Moreover, multiuser pairing and scheduling criteria based on the design of the CSI-RS are proposed to realize the multiuser transmission. We have investigated multiple options for 3D MIMO codebook scheme and finally adopt the Kronecker product-based codebook (KPC) for precoding operation at the base station (BS). Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed scheme for the 3D MIMO system achieves a better tradeoff between resource overhead and throughput performance.

<p>In this paper, downlink multiuser-MIMO system with large number of transmitting antennas at the base station and R user terminals each having single antenna is considered. According to this design, an access point communicates with large number of users in the Rayleigh fading scenario. Due to large number of users, it becomes difficult to accommodate all of them in the system simultaneously. So, a user grouping technique known as K-mean clustering is used, such that a group of users with similar conditions at that particular time are served together. While making groups, the interference is surely reduced but the number of users being served at a time also reduces. So, it is necessary to make out the balance such that the performance of the system is maintained while accommodating maximum number of users. So, optimum number of user groups needs to be formed. The results show that when groups are increased from two till four sum rate increases but when five groups are made the sum rate decreases to a point but, is still higher than two groups.</p><p> </p>

In this paper, the system performance of an energy harvesting (EH) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system for use in disasters was investigated. The communication protocol was divided into two phases. In the first phase, a UAV relay (UR) harvested energy from a power beacon (PB). In the second phase, a base station (BS) transmitted the signal to the UR using non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA); then, the UR used its harvested energy from the first phase to transfer the signal to two sensor clusters, i.e., low-priority and high-priority clusters, via the decode-and-forward (DF) technique. A closed-form expression for the throughput of the cluster heads of these clusters was derived to analyze the system performance. Monte Carlo simulations were employed to verify our approach.


Scalable version of multiuser MIMO called Large-scale MIMO is a one of the powerful technology in future wireless communication systems in which huge amount of BS (base station) antennas utilized to process multiple user equipment. Energy consumed is high with more antennas and also it leads to increase the signal detection complexity and overall circuit power consumption. Designing energy efficient and low complexity MIMO system is considered as a challenging issue. This paper presents the ISSOR signal detection for energy efficient and low complexity large scale MIMO system. VA-GSM (Variable Antenna Generalized spatial modulation) is used in which the number of active antenna transmissions are varied for every transmission in the large scale MIMO. In transmitter side, Eigen value based approach is used for antenna selection. Then, improved symmetric successive over relaxation (ISSOR) approach is proposed for low complexity signal detection in receiver side. The number of user equipment, transmit power, as well as the amount of antennas at the base station, are considered as the optimal system parameters which are chosen for enhancing the efficiency of utilized energy in the system. The proposed scheme implemented in MATLAB software. The proposed scheme attained the high energy efficiency compared to other approaches. Moreover, the BER is utilized to estimate the performance of an offered algorithm and also compared to the previously determined algorithm of existing literatures.

The effects of pilot contamination (PC) on the performance of multi-cell multi-user massive multiple input multiple output (MC-MU-m-MIMO) system in uplink has been analyzed in this article. In a multi-cell scenario, the channel estimation (CE) at the desired cell using pilot reuse to avoid significant overhead results in poor CE due to PC. The improvement in degraded performance due to the effect of PC has been shown using low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes. The comparative analysis of performance in terms of variation in bit error rate (BER) with the signal to noise ratio (SNR) for LDPC coded and uncoded information blocks of users has been shown when the number of cells sharing the same frequency band is varied. Further, the expression for sum-rate has been derived and its variation with the number of base station (BS) antennas has also been shown. The simulated results have shown that the LDPC coded scheme performs better than the uncoded counterpart and the sum-rate capacity increases when the strength of channel coefficients between the BS antennas of the desired cell and the users of remaining cells is less.

This paper presents some exact results on the sum-rate of multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) systems subject to multi-cell pilot contamination under correlated Rayleigh fading. With multi-cell multi-user channel estimator, we give the lower bound of the sum-rate. We derive the moment generating function (MGF) of the sum-rate and then obtain the closed-form approximations of the mean and variance of the sum-rate. Then, with Gaussian approximation, we study the outage performance of the sum-rate. Furthermore, considering the number of antennas at base station becomes infinite, we investigate the asymptotic performance of the sum-rate. Theoretical results show that compared to MU-MIMO system with perfect channel estimation and no pilot contamination, the variance of the sum-rate of the considered system decreases very quickly as the number of antennas increases.
