Abstract In multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems, the selection of receive and transmit antennas is not just effective in increasing system capacity, but also in reducing RF link costs and system complexity. The exhaustive algorithm, i.e. the joint transmit and receive antenna selection (JTRAS) with the best accuracy, can search all the subsets of both transmit and receive antennas in order to find the optimal solution. However, with the increase of the number of antennas, the computational complexity is too large and its applicability is limited. In this paper, the antennas are coded by fractional coding with the maximization of channel capacity as the basic criterion, and three intelligent algorithms, namely genetic algorithm, cat swarm algorithm and particle swarm algorithm, are applied for antenna selection. The simulation results demonstrate that all three algorithms can efficiently accomplish the antenna selection. In the end, we compare them in terms of speed, accuracy and complexity of the search in MIMO systems.

Antenna selection has been regarded as an effective method to acquire the diversity benefits of multiple antennas while potentially reduce hardware costs. This paper focuses on receive antenna selection. According to the proportion between the numbers of total receive antennas and selected antennas and the influence of each antenna on system capacity, we propose a fast adaptive antenna selection algorithm for wireless multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. Mathematical analysis and numerical results show that our algorithm significantly reduces the computational complexity and memory requirement and achieves considerable system capacity gain compared with the optimal selection technique in the same time.

Совместный с прекодингом автовыбор антенн на приемной и передающей стороне - одно из перспективных направлений исследований для реализации технологий Multiple Transmission and Reception Points (Multi-TRP, множество точек передачи и приема) в системах со многими передающими и приемными антеннами Massive MIMO (Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output), которые активно развиваются в стандарте 5G. Проанализированы законодательные ограничения, влияющие на применимость технологий Massive MIMO, и специфика реализации разрабатываемого алгоритма в миллиметровомдиапа -зоне длин волн. Рассмотрены алгоритмы формирования матриц автовыбора антенн как на передающей, так и на приемной стороне. Сформулирована строгая математическая постановка задачи для двух критериев работы алгоритма: максимизация взаимной информации и минимизация среднеквадратичной ошибки. Joint precoding and antenna selection both on transmitter and receiver sides is one of the promising research areas for evolving toward the Multiple Transmission and Reception Points (Multi-TRP) concept in Massive MIMO systems. This technology is under active development in the coming 5G 3GPP releases. We analyze legal restrictions for the implementation of 5G Massive MIMO technologies in Russia and the specifics of the implementation of the developed algorithm in the millimeter wavelength range. Algorithms of antenna auto-selection matrices formation on both transmitting and receiving sides are considered. Two criteria are used for joint antenna selection and precoding: maximizing mutual information and minimizing mean square error.

This paper addresses multi-user multi-cluster massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). Assuming the downlink mode, and taking into consideration the impact of imperfect successive interference cancellation (SIC), an in-depth analytical analysis is carried out, in which closed-form expressions for the outage probability and ergodic rates are derived. Subsequently, the power allocation coefficients of users within each sub-group are optimized to maximize fairness. The considered power optimization is simplified to a convex problem, which makes it possible to obtain the optimal solution via Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions. Based on the achieved solution, we propose an iterative algorithm to provide fairness also among different sub-groups. Simulation results alongside with insightful discussions are provided to investigate the impact of imperfect SIC and demonstrate the fairness superiority of the proposed dynamic power allocation policies. For example, our results show that if the residual error propagation levels are high, the employment of orthogonal multiple access (OMA) is always preferable than NOMA. It is also shown that the proposed power allocation outperforms conventional massive MIMO-NOMA setups operating with fixed power allocation strategies in terms of outage probability.

This paper proposes a new receive antenna selection algorithm based on the theory of convex optimization that improve the system performance over Rayleigh fading multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels. The algorithm is based on approximated relaxed original optimization problem. The main effort in the approximated relaxed method is computing the Newton step for the centering problem, which consists of solving sets of linear equations constraints. The method produces not only a suboptimal choice of receive antennas, but also, a bound on how well the globally optimal choice does. The Monte-Carlo simulations show that the algorithm proposed can provide the performance very close to that of the optimal selection based on exhaustive search.

A transmit antenna selection (TxAS) aided multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) system is proposed for operating in the MIMO downlink channel environments, which shows significant improvement in terms of higher data rate when compared to the conventional MU-MIMO systems operating without adopting TxAS, while maintaining low hardware costs. We opt for employing a simple yet efficient zero-forcing beamforming (ZFBF) linear precoding scheme at the transmitter in order to reduce the decoding complexity when considering users’ side. Moreover, considering that users within the same cell may require various qualities of service (QoS), we further propose a novel user-oriented smart TxAS (UOSTxAS) scheme, of which the main idea is to carry out AS based on the QoS requirements of different users. At last, we implement the proposed UOSTxAS scheme in the software defined radio (SDR) MIMO communication hardware platform, which is the first prototype hardware system that runs the UOSTxAS MU-MIMO scheme. Our results show that, by employing TxAS, the proposed UOSTxAS scheme is capable of offering higher data rates for priority users, while reasonably ensuring the performance of the common users requiring lower rates both in simulation and in the implemented SDR MIMO communication platform.

Background: The paper considers the wireless system with large number of users (more than 50 users) and each user is assigned large number of antennas (around 200) at the Base Station (BS). Objective: The challenges associated with the defined system are increased power consumption and high complexity of associated circuitry. The antenna selection is introduced to combat these problems while the usage of linear precoding reduces computational complexity. The literature suggests number of antenna selection techniques based on statistical properties of signal. However, each antenna selection technique suits well to specific number of users. Methods: In this paper, the random antenna selection is compared with norm-based antenna selection. It is analysed that the random antenna selection leads to inefficient spectral efficiency if the number of users are more than 50 in Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) system. Results: The paper proposes the optimization of Energy-Efficiency (EE) with random transmit antenna selection for large number of users in MU-MIMO systems. Conclusion: Also the computation leads to optimization of number of transmit antennas at the BS for energy efficiency. The proposed algorithm results in improvement of the energy efficiency by 27% for more than 50 users.

Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems could increase wireless communication system capacity enormously. The best optimal detection algorithm for MIMO systems was maximum likelihood (ML) detection algorithm, which could provide the best bit error rate (BER) performance for MIMO systems. However, the computational complexity of ML detection algorithm grew exponentially with the number of transmit antennas and the order of modulation, which resulted in difficult using for practice. A modified MIMO signal detection algorithm which combined ML detection with stack algorithm was presented in this paper. After performing QR decomposition of the channel matrix, the ML detection with length L was done firstly. The partial accumulated metrics were calculated and sorted, which produced an ordered set secondly. Based on the ordered set, stack algorithm was performed to search for the symbol with the minimum accumulated metrics. The proposed algorithm reduced the probability of look back in stack algorithm.

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems can bring many advantages to wireless communication but suffer from high cost and complexity due to the multiple RF chains. In such systems, antenna selection is introduced as a technique to ease these problems.This paper addressedthe problem of antenna selection in spatially correlated channels. We propose an effective antenna selection method in terms of capacity maximization based on the transmit and/or the receive correlation matrix instead of the instantaneous channel state information (ICSI).Simulations will be used to validate our analysis and demonstrate that the number of required RF chains can be significantly decreased using our low complexity algorithm whileachieving very close performance to the ICSI-based method.

Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) system improves performance as well as the capacity of the wireless system. The use of large number of antennas in a MIMO system increases the hardware complexities and also its price. To overcome this, MIMO systems that activate single transmit antenna at a time, namely transmit antenna selection (TAS) is considered in this paper. Selection combining (SC) and Maximal ratio combining (MRC) are carried out at the receiver over    fading channels. Expressions for outage probability and average bit error rate (ABER) are derived considering TAS/SC as well as TAS/MRC MIMO systems. All the derived expressions are validated by Monte-Carlo simulation results.

Hybrid precoding is a promising technology for massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. It can reduce the number of radio frequency (RF) chains. However, the power consumption is still very high owing to the large-scale antenna array. In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient precoding scheme based on antenna selection technology. The precoding scheme greatly increases the energy efficiency (EE) of the system. In the first step, we derive an exact closed-form expression of EE. Meanwhile, we further study the relationship between the number of transmit antennas and EE on the basis of the exact closed-form expression of EE. We prove that there exists an optimal value. When the number of transmit antennas equals to the value, the EE of the system can reach the maximum by a proper hybrid precoding scheme. Then, we propose an antenna selection algorithm to select antennas from the transmit antennas. And the number of selected antennas equals to the optimal value. Subsequently, we design the analog precoder based on a codebook to maximize the equivalent channel gain. At last, we further improve the EE by baseband digital precoding. The precoding algorithm we proposed offers a compromise between spectral efficiency (SE) and EE in millimeter wave (mmWave) massive MIMO systems. Finally, simulation results validate our theoretical analysis and show that a substantial EE gain can be obtained over the precoding scheme we proposed without large performance loss.
