In this paper, we study the problem of joint power control and beamforming design for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) in an amplify-and-forward (AF) based two-way relaying (TWR) network. The considered system model consists of two source nodes and a relay node. Two single-antenna source nodes receive information and energy simultaneously via power splitting (PS) from the signals sent by a multi-antenna relay node. Our objective is to maximize the weighted sum energy at the two source nodes subject to quality of service (QoS) constraints and the transmit power constraints. However, the joint optimization of the relay beamforming matrix, the source transmit power and PS ratio is intractable. To find a closed-form solution of the formulated problem, we decouple the primal problem into two subproblems. In the first problem, we intend to optimize the beamforming vectors for given transmit powers and PS ratio. In the second subproblem, we optimize the remaining parameters with obtained beamformers. It is worth noting that although the corresponding subproblem are nonconvex, the optimal solution of each subproblem can be found by using certain techniques. The iterative optimization algorithm finally converges. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed joint design.

Hybrid Precoding/Combining Design in mmWaveAmplify-and-Forward MIMO Relay Networks
In this paper, we consider the amplify-and-forward relay networks in mmWave systems and propose a hybrid precoder/combiner design approach. The phase-only RF precoding/ combining matrices are first designed to support multi-stream transmission, where we compensate the phase for the eigenmodes of the channel. Then, the baseband precoders/combiners are performed to achieve the maximum mutual information. Based on the data processing inequality for the mutual information, we first jointly design the baseband source and relay nodes to maximize the mutual information before the destination baseband receiver. The proposed low-complexity iterative algorithm for the source and relay nodes is based on the equivalence between mutual information maximization and the weighted MMSE. After we obtain the optimal precoder and combiner for the source and relay nodes, we implement the MMSE-SIC filter at the baseband receiver to keep the mutual information unchanged, thus obtaining the optimal mutual information for the whole relay system. Simulation results show that our algorithm achieves better performance with lower complexity compared with other algorithms in the literature.

This paper focuses on the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) channel estimator for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with one-bit quantization at the receiver side. Despite its optimality and significance in estimation theory, the MMSE estimator has not been fully investigated in this context due to its general nonlinearity and computational complexity. Instead, the typically suboptimal Bussgang linear MMSE (BLMMSE) channel estimator has been widely adopted. In this work, we develop a new framework to compute the MMSE channel estimator that hinges on the computation of the orthant probability of a multivariate normal distribution. Based on this framework, we determine a necessary and sufficient condition for the BLMMSE channel estimator to be optimal and thus equivalent to the MMSE estimator. Under the assumption of specific channel correlation or pilot symbols, we further utilize the framework to derive analytical expressions for the MMSE estimator that are particularly convenient for the computation when certain system dimensions become large, thereby enabling a comparison between the BLMMSE and MMSE channel estimators in these cases.more » « less

Unlike the half-duplex relay, the performance of the full-duplex relay is highly sensitive to the correlation between the source and relay codebooks. Linear coding complicates the design of correlated codebooks, for example in multilevel coding (MLC) linear codes at each layer can only have correlation zero or one, leading to a performance penalty that has been characterized in earlier work. In this paper, we propose a new design technique that significantly reduces the correlation penalty of linear codes via intelligent labeling for the modulation. The basic idea is as follows: the chain rule for mutual information, which is the backbone of MLC, is not-unique in two ways: the labeling of modulation constellation as well as the ordering of the chain rule. Our optimization at each level pushes the mutual information terms involving new information (for the relay) or beamforming information to zero or one. In effect this finds a suitable decomposition of overall correlation to a set of binary correlations at individual levels of MLC. Simulations show that point-to-point LDPC codes in combination with the proposed correlation design lead to excellent performance.more » « less

In a time-division duplex (TDD) multiple antenna system, the channel state information (CSI) can be estimated using reverse training. A pilot spoofing attack occurs when during the training phase, an adversary (spoofer) also sends identical training (pilot) signal as that of the legitimate receiver. This contaminates channel estimation and alters the legitimate precoder design, facilitating eavesdropping. A recent approach proposed superimposing a random sequence on the training sequence at the legitimate receivers, and then using the minimum description length (MDL) criterion to detect pilot spoofing attack via source enumeration. In this letter, we extend this approach by exploiting temporal subspace properties of the pilot signals in conjunction with the MDL criterion, to determine which pilots are contaminated by a spoofer, and which ones are free of spoofing attack. The identification performance is illustrated via simulations.more » « less

This paper focuses on the mutual information and minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) as a function a matrix- valued signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for a linear Gaussian channel with arbitrary input distribution. As shown by Lamarca, the mutual-information is a concave function of a positive semi- definite matrix, which we call the matrix SNR. This implies that the mapping from the matrix SNR to the MMSE matrix is decreasing monotone. Building upon these functional properties, we start to construct a unifying framework that provides a bridge between classical information-theoretic inequalities, such as the entropy power inequality, and interpolation techniques used in statistical physics and random matrix theory. This framework provides new insight into the structure of phase transitions in coding theory and compressed sensing. In particular, it is shown that the parallel combination of linear channels with freely-independent matrices can be characterized succinctly via free convolution.more » « less
