Book Joint Optimal Power Control and Beamforming in Wireless Networks Using Antenna Arrays

Download or read book Joint Optimal Power Control and Beamforming in Wireless Networks Using Antenna Arrays written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interference reduction capability of antenna arrays and power control algorithms have been considered separately as means to increase the capacity in wireless communications networks. The MVDR (Minimum Variance Distortionless Response) beamformer maximizes the Carrier to Interference Ratio (CIR) when it is employed in the receiver of a wireless link. In a system with omnidirectional antennas, power control algorithms are used to maximize CIR as well. In this paper, the authors consider a system with beamforming capabilities in the receiver and power control. An iterative algorithm is proposed to jointly update the transmission powers and the beamformer weights so that they converge to the jointly optimal beamforming and transmission power vector. The algorithm is distributed and uses only local interference measurements. In an uplink transmission scenario, it is shown how base assignment can be incorporated in addition to beamforming and power control such that a globally optimum solution is obtained. The network capacity increase and the savings in mobile power achieved by beamforming are evaluated through numerical study.

Book Power Control in Wireless Cellular Networks

Download or read book Power Control in Wireless Cellular Networks written by Mung Chiang and published by Now Publishers Inc. This book was released on 2008 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transmit power in wireless cellular networks is a key degree of freedom in the management of interference, energy, and connectivity. Power control in both the uplink and downlink of a cellular network has been extensively studied, especially over the last 15 years, and some of the results have enabled the continuous evolution and significant impact of the digital cellular technology. This survey provides a comprehensive discussion of the models, algorithms, analysis, and methodologies in this vast and growing literature. It starts with a taxonomy of the wide range of power control problem formulations, and progresses from the basic formulation to more sophisticated ones. When transmit power is the only set of optimization variables, algorithms for fixed SIR are presented first, before turning to their robust versions and joint SIR and power optimization. This is followed by opportunistic and non-cooperative power control. Then joint control of power together with beamforming pattern, base station assignment, spectrum allocation, and transmit schedule is surveyed one-by-one. Throughout the survey, we highlight the use of mathematical language and tools in the study of power control, including optimization theory, control theory, game theory, and linear algebra. Practical implementations of some of the algorithms in operational networks are discussed in the concluding section. As illustrated by the open problems presented at the end of most chapters, in the area of power control in cellular networks, there are still many under-explored directions and unresolved issues that remain theoretically challenging and practically important.

Book Towards Power efficient and Intelligent Wireless Communication Systems

Download or read book Towards Power efficient and Intelligent Wireless Communication Systems written by Yunseong Cho and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the growing demand for higher date rates and more reliable service capabilities, wireless communication systems continue to grow in popularity and importance. In order to enable higher data rate via broader bandwidth, millimeter wave (mmWave) systems are deployed for modern and future communication systems. Due to the high transmission loss of the mmWave frequency bands, a massive number of antennas are employed to focus transmitted power in narrow radio frequency (RF) beams. However, associating one RF chain with two high-resolution data converters for each antenna element would consume a prohibitively large amount of power. Furthermore, challenging service requirements can be handled by machine learning techniques in a variety of application spaces. The goal of this dissertation is to propose communication systems that are not only reliable and high-performing, but also power-efficient as well as intelligent. Two possible ways to alleviate the huge power consumption problem are 1) low-resolution data converters, and 2) hybrid analog-digital beamforming architectures since the former tries to reduce the power consumption of each individual RF chain and the latter directly scales down the number of RF chains. Additionally, intelligent communication systems that can adapt to changing network conditions and user requirements are crucial for ensuring reliable and efficient communication. In either case, these solutions introduce severe non-convexity and non-linearity to the entire system. In this regard, I propose new solutions that can respond to future communication systems requiring a fundamental re-design of current communication systems based on a power-efficient and intelligent framework. First, I investigate a coordinated multipoint (CoMP) beamforming and power control problem for base stations (BSs) with a massive number of antenna arrays under coarse quantization by low-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs). I first formulate total power minimization problems of both uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) systems subject to signal-to-quantization-plue-interference-and-noise ratio (SQINR) constraints. I then show strong duality for the UL and DL problems under the coarse quantization condition when channel reciprocity holds with time-division duplexing (TDD) assumption. Leveraging the duality, I propose a framework that is directed toward a twofold aim: to discover the optimal transmit powers in UL by developing iterative algorithm in a distributed manner and to obtain the optimal precoder in DL as a scaled instance of UL combiner. Under homogeneous transmit power and SQINR constraints per cell, I further derive a deterministic solution for the UL CoMP problem by analyzing the lower bound of the SQINR. Lastly, I extend the derived result to wideband orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems to optimize transmit power and beamformer for all subcarriers. Simulation results validate the theoretical results and proposed algorithms in terms of total transmit power, duality gap, and convergence. Second, I aim to find the DL beamformer that minimizes the maximum power on transmit antenna array of each BS under received SQINR constraints while minimizing per-antenna transmit power for a more realistic deployment. I first formulate formulating the quantized DL OFDM antenna power minimax problem and deriving its associated dual problem. With proving strong duality, I use the associated UL dual solution to compute the DL beamformer. Subsequently, the DL beamformer is used in updating the covariance matrix of the uplink noise signals. The series of processes builds an efficient algorithm to find a numerical solution. Simulations validate the proposed algorithm in terms of the maximum antenna transmit power and peak-to-average-power ratio. Third, I propose a learning-based maximum likelihood detection framework with an acceptable learning length for uplink massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems with one-bit ADCs. The learning-based detection only requires counting the occurrences of the quantized outputs at each antenna. The learning in the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime, however, needs excessive training to estimate the extremely small likelihood probabilities. To address this drawback, I utilize a dithering signal to artificially decrease the SNR and then remove the impact of the dithering noise via post processing. I evolve the technique by developing an adaptive dither-and-learning method that updates the dithering power according the patterns observed in the quantized dithered signals. Lastly, the computed likelihood probabilities are utilized in deriving log-likelihood ratio to enable state-of-the-art channel coding schemes. I compare the uncoded and coded detection performance of the proposed algorithm with other learning-based frameworks and show that the proposed algorithm shows the performance closest to optimal performance. Fourth, I propose a deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based solution for joint hybrid beamforming (HB) and power control problems when multiple massive MIMO BSs are communicating with multiple users in the uplink mmWave band. The HB method requires both digital and analog beamformers, with the latter using discrete phase shifters to project high-dimensional antenna ports to low-dimensional logical ports and scale down the number of RF chains. However, this results in non-convexity, making the problem difficult to solve using existing algorithms. In multicell uplink communication systems, I aim to jointly design the HB at each BS and transmit power control of the associated users while ensuring that the received signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) constraints are satisfied. Considering the use of the DRL-based approach and the primal problem, I formulate the RL basics. To handle the combination of discrete and continuous inputs, I use the DDPG RL algorithm, which outputs a valid action that maps to the design factors. In particular, I aim to control each phase shifter individually by introducing an intermediate vector and applying a differentiable argmax function to estimate the phase angle index. The proposed method is evaluated through simulation results based on the achieved SINR. The four contributions could make a worthwhile enhancement to the development of power-efficient and intelligent wireless communication systems by meeting the communication needs of modern society while minimizing energy consumption and maximizing the use of available resources

Book Interference Calculus

Download or read book Interference Calculus written by Martin Schubert and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-11-20 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops a mathematical framework for modeling and optimizing interference-coupled multiuser systems. At the core of this framework is the concept of general interference functions, which provides a simple means of characterizing interdependencies between users. The entire analysis builds on the two core axioms scale-invariance and monotonicity. The proposed network calculus has its roots in power control theory and wireless communications. It adds theoretical tools for analyzing the typical behavior of interference-coupled networks. In this way it complements existing game-theoretic approaches. The framework should also be viewed in conjunction with optimization theory. There is a fruitful interplay between the theory of interference functions and convex optimization theory. By jointly exploiting the properties of interference functions, it is possible to design algorithms that outperform general-purpose techniques that only exploit convexity. The title “network calculus” refers to the fact that the theory of interference functions constitutes a generic theoretical framework for the analysis of interference coupled systems. Certain operations within the framework are “closed”, that is, combinations of interference functions are interference functions again. Also, certain properties are preserved under such operations. This, provides a methodology for analyzing different multiuser performance measures that can be expressed as interference functions or combinations of interference functions.

Book Improving Efficiency of Wireless Networks Using Network Optimized Beamforming  Virtual Terrain Leveling  and High performance Computing

Download or read book Improving Efficiency of Wireless Networks Using Network Optimized Beamforming Virtual Terrain Leveling and High performance Computing written by Vinay Bharadwaj Ramakrishnaiah and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wireless communication is sensitive to ambient noise as well as interference due to the use of a shared medium, unlike wired communication. The range of frequencies used for wireless communication is limited, which prompts the reuse of frequencies causing increased interference. Wireless devices are often portable or mobile units with limited battery capacity, which makes effective low-power communication in harsh noise environments a high priority. In addition, wireless communication is significantly affected by the surrounding terrain like buildings, hills, foliage, etc. Many of these problems can be addressed through careful antenna design. Typically, omni-directional antennas are used in wireless communication due to their relative simplicity. These antennas radiate signal equally in all directions resulting in a waste of transmitter power and a source of interference to other nodes. More sophisticated techniques are available, but these can be challenging as they require complex software, which in turn demands powerful and expensive hardware. Use of adaptive directional antenna arrays can minimize interference while also being more energy efficient. Such “smart antennas” use digital beamforming based on signal processing algorithms to compute the appropriate weights to form effective antenna patterns. Smart antennas require the knowledge of the signal received at each antenna in the antenna array, thereby increasing the complexity of hardware and cost. Analog beamforming is a low hardware complexity alternative to smart antennas, which relies on a single transceiver and power splitter/combiner. Computer controlled analog amplifiers and phase shifters are used to form the desired beam patterns. The disadvantage of analog beamforming is that the computer only has access to the combined signals in the antenna array. We use analog beamforming in our implementation along with Noise-to-Signal ratio of nearby communicating nodes to mitigate this disadvantage. Conventional smart antennas optimize results for each individual node, while it is preferable to have a global optimal solution. It is also possible to compute the antenna array weights to adapt to the radio propagation characteristics of the surrounding terrain. This requires the knowledge of path loss at various distances and directions from the transmitter calculated using one of several available path loss models to compute a radio propagation map. This research has the following objectives: The first objective is to develop a new analog beamforming technique using Noise-to-Signal ratio as the performance measure. An iterative algorithm is developed that uses distributed node information along with analog beamforming, instead of individual antenna information. The antenna weights are sequentially adjusted across all nodes in the route to achieve optimization across the network. This provides a network optimized, low cost and hardware complexity solution for adaptive beamforming. The second objective is to explore another novel method called Virtual Terrain Leveling (VTL) where the effects of the terrain are virtually nullified using antenna arrays up to a specified distance from the transmitter. This work investigates whether VTL can mitigate the difficulties that the terrain features pose for implementation of wireless networks by attempting to provide uniform propagation in the presence of terrain with the use of directional antennas. The final objective is to use high performance computing (HPC) to develop more efficient storage and processing of radio propagation maps. Processing and storage of radio propagation maps can be computationally intensive based on the area and the resolution of the map. The technique of adaptive region construction is developed to efficiently store radio propagation maps while preserving the shape of the external contour for a given set of points. A GPU implementation of the algorithm with optimizations tailored to the hardware shows possible near - real time performance.
