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 …

Space-time rate splitting for the MISO BC with magnitude CSIT

A novel coding strategy is proposed for a broadcast setting with two transmitter (TX) antennas and two single-antenna receivers (RX). The strategy consists of using space-time block coding to send a common message (to be decoded by both RXs) across …

Optimized precoded spatio-temporal partial-response signaling over frequency-selective MIMO channels

Due to the continuous demand for higher bit rates, the management of the spatio-temporal intersymbol interference in frequency-selective multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels becomes increasingly important. For single-input single-output …

A feature ranking and selection algorithm for machine learning-based step counters

Although ultra wideband (UWB) positioning is considered as one of the most promising solutions for indoor positioning due to its high positioning accuracy, the accuracy in situations with a large number of users will be reduced because the time …

Magnitude of the distance estimation bias in received signal strength visible light positioning

In several works, statistical precision of distance estimators in visible light positioning was studied by evaluating the Cramer-Rao lower bound, assuming that the estimator is unbiased. Here, it is demonstrated that the maximum likelihood estimator …

Distributed dynamic resource allocation for cooperative cognitive radio networks with multi-antenna relay selection

A cognitive radio scenario is considered where the signals transmitted by a secondary user (SU) are relayed by multi-antenna relays using an amplify-and-forward cooperation protocol. In this paper, the optimal power allocation and beamforming scheme …

Theoretical lower bound for indoor visible light positioning using received signal strength measurements and an aperture-based receiver

Iterative SAGE-based channel estimation in a block fading amplify-and-forward relaying network

Several diversity techniques have been proposed to cope with fading in wireless networks. A recent and promising technique, which does not increase hardware demands, is cooperative communication. Here spatial diversity is created by using other …

Outage probability minimization for cooperative cognitive radio with best-relay selection under an average interference power constraint

In this contribution, a cognitive radio scenario is considered, where a secondary user (SU) cooperative network is allowed to transmit concurrently with a primary user (PU), provided that the resulting average interference power at the PU receiver is …

Characterization of measured indoor off-body MIMO channels with correlated fading, correlated shadowing and constant path loss

Indoor off-body wireless MIMO links between a mobile user equipped with wearable textile patch antennas and a fixed base station exhibit specific channel behavior due to the near presence and movements of the human body. Therefore, they require a …
