Though MIMO systems improve performance of a wireless communication network by the usage of multiple antennas, demand of distinct set of RF chain (i.e., electronic components required for antenna transmission and reception, in wireless communication) for all the antennas leads to an increase in complexity and cost. Antenna selection technique of MIMO has proved to be a good means to solve this issue. Antenna Selection methods find optimal number of antennas required out of the total antennas present in the MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) system. The selection of antenna can be performed at both ends of the communication network i.e., transmitter or receiver. In this paper, an overview of various Transmit Antenna Selection techniques for various MIMO systems is presented.

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) 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.

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.

Optimum Solution

The current paper considers the joint precoding and transmit antenna selection to reduce hardware cost, such as radio-frequency chains, associated with antennas in the downlink of multiuser multiple-input multiple-output systems with limited feedback. The joint precoding and transmit antenna selection algorithm requires an exhaustive search of all possible combinations and permutations to find the optimum solution at the transmitter, thus resulting in extremely high computational complexity. To reduce the computational load while still maximizing channel capacity, the cross-entropy (CE) method is adopted to determine the suboptimum solution. Compared with the conventional genetic algorithm and random search method, the CE method provides better performance under the same computational complexity, as shown by the simulation results.

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.

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.
