Adaptive pilot allocation for estimating sparse uplink MU-MIMO-OFDM channels

We consider uplink multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communication. The transmit (Tx) side of the envisaged system consists of several single-antenna users or/and several …

Antenna selection and resource allocation in downlink MISO OFDMA femtocell networks

In this paper, the problem of joint sub-channel assignment, antenna selection, and power control in the downlink (DL) of an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) femtocell network is investigated in order to maximize system …

Indoor off-body wireless MIMO communication with dual polarized textile antennas

Off-body data communication for firefighters and other rescue workers is an important area of development. The communication with a moving person in an indoor environment can be very unreliable due to channel fading. In addition, when considering …

Reliable MIMO communication between firefighters equipped with wearable antennas and a base station using space-time codes

Off-body wireless data communication using textile antennas integrated into clothing increases the safety of rescue workers operating in an indoor environment as vital information can be communicated to the command station. The indoor radio …

Application layer ARQ for protecting video packets over an indoor MIMO-OFDM link with correlated block fading

The quality of experience (QoE) of IP-packetized streaming video is affected by both packet loss and packet delay variations. When the network delivering the video content contains a wireless link, occasional deep fades give rise to bursts of packet …

Computationally efficient frequency offset estimation for flat-fading MIMO channels: performance analysis and training sequence design

This contribution deals with the carrier frequency offset estimation for a flat-fading Multiple-Input Multiple-output (MIMO) channel using a training sequence. The resulting Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimation entails solving a maximization problem …
