One of the key challenges in railway engineering is how to provide passengers an efficient, secure, and safe service. To achieve this, operators and stakeholders demand robust and high-capacity train-to-wayside broadband radio. Current radio technologies implement MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) technology, whose use requires a good characterization of the propagation. In this paper, the results of an experimental campaign on MIMO propagation in subway tunnels are presented. The campaign makes use of an OFDM testbed at roughly 600 MHz, allowing the measurement of the 2×2 channel transfer matrix under different conditions regarding polarization, antenna separation, tunnel cross section, power allocation algorithm, and so forth. Particular attention is paid to the probability of appearance of keyholes, which imply a severe degradation of the MIMO performance even when transmitter and receiver antennas are uncorrelated. The measurements are carried out using a train that travels at the normal operative velocities. As a result of the measurements, it has been found that the use of vertical polarization at both terminals is advantageous and that, on average but for a narrow margin, λ-spaced antennas outperform λ/2-spaced ones (90% capacities of 7.00 and 6.76 bps/Hz, resp.), although the latter show a lower probability of keyholes. However, keyhole probabilities are always below 2%, so their influence on the performance of the whole system is limited.

Abstract Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based massive multiuser (MU) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system is popularly known as high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) issue. The OFDM-based massive MIMO system exhibits large number of antennas at Base Station (BS) due to the use of large number of high-power amplifiers (HPA). High PAPR causes HPAs to work in a nonlinear region, and hardware cost of nonlinear HPAs are very high and also power inefficient. Hence, to tackle this problem, this manuscript suggests a novel scheme based on the joint MU precoding and PAPR minimization (PP) expressed as a convex optimization problem solved by steepest gradient descent (GD) with μ-law companding approach. Therefore, we develop a new scheme mentioned to as MU-PP-GDs with μ-law companding to minimize PAPR by compressing and enlarging of massive MIMO OFDM signals simultaneously. At CCDF = 10−3, the proposed scheme (MU-PP-GDs with μ-law companding for Iterations = 100) minimizes the PAPR to 3.70 dB which is better than that of MU-PP-GDs, (iteration = 100) as shown in simulation results.

Random Location

Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) is the most used wireless transmission scheme in the world. However, its security is the interesting problem to discuss if we want to use this scheme to transmit a sensitive data, such as in the military and commercial communication systems. In this paper, we propose a new method to increase the security of MIMO-OFDM system using the change of location of fake subcarrier. The fake subcarriers’ location is generated per packet of data using Pseudo Random sequence generator. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme does not decrease the performance of conventional MIMO-OFDM. The attacker or eavesdropper gets worse Bit Error Rate (BER) than the legal receiver compared to the conventional MIMO-OFDM system.

<p>Multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) is a multipath diversity exploring approach which is emerged with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) to produce MIMO-OFDM that is widely used in wireless communications. This paper presents a discrete Hart-ley transform (DHT) precoded MIMO-OFDM system over multipath frequency-selective fading channel with large-size quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM, 64-QAM and 256-QAM). A mathematical models for the BER and channel capacity over mutlipath fading channels are also derived in this paper. Average Bit-error-rate (BER) and channel capacity of the presented system is considered and compared with that of the traditional MIMO-OFDM. Simulation results shows that the transmission performance and channel capacity of the proposed schemes is better than that of the traditional MIMO-OFDM without a pre-coder.</p>

This paper puts forward a suitable channel estimation scheme for multiple input multiple output and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system (MIMO-OFDM) based on discrete wavelet transform. According to the least-squares standard (LS), this plan uses pilot to estimate the unit impulse response of MIMO channel firstly, then does wavelet denoising in changing domain, in order to reduce the frequency spectrum leakage and improve the estimation precision. At the same time, this method does not need to know channel information in advance, and can follow up the changes of channel on time with good error rate performance.

This paper presents a joint channel estimation and data detection technique for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. Initial estimate of the channel is obtained using semi-blind channel estimation (SBCE). The whitening rotation (WR)-based orthogonal pilot maximum likelihood (OPML) method is used to obtain the channel estimate. The estimate is further enhanced by extracting information through the received data symbols. The performance of the proposed estimator is studied under various channel models. The simulation study shows that this approach gives better performance over training-based channel estimation (TBCE) and OPML SBCE methods but at the cost of higher computational complexity.

Multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) is powerfulin enhancing communication capacity or reliance. The IEEE802.11n standard defines use of four spatial streams in spatial division multiplexing (SDM). The task group of IEEE802.11ac will extend it to eight spatial streams. We present an 88 MIMOOFDM baseband transceiver compatible with the IEEE802.11ac specification. Two 88 MMSE MIMO detectors based on Streassen’s matrix inversion have been designed for real-time MIMO detection. To demonstrate MIMO-OFDM transmission, we have prototyped a FPGA-based testbed in 22 MIMOOFDM for field experiment and video transmission.

Detecting the presence of a valid signal is an important task of a telecommunication receiver. When the receiver is unable to detect the presence of a valid signal, due to noise and fading, it is referred to as an erasure. This work deals with the probability of erasure computation for orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) signals used by multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems. The theoretical results are validated by computer simulations. OFDM is widely used in present day wireless communication systems due to its ability to mitigate intersymbol interference (ISI) caused by frequency selective fading channels. MIMO systems offer the advantage of spatial multiplexing, resulting in increased bit-rate, which is the main requirement of the recent wireless standards like 5G and beyond.

Sparse code multiple access (SCMA) has been proposed to obtain high capacity and support massive connections. When combined with the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques, the spectrum efficiency of the SCMA system can be further improved. However, the detectors of the MIMO-SCMA system have high computational complexity. For the maximum likelihood (ML) detection, though it is optimal decoding algorithm for the MIMO-SCMA system, the detection complexity would grow exponentially with the number of both the antennas and users increase. In this paper, we consider a space-time block code (STBC) based MIMO-SCMA system where SCMA is used for multiuser access. Besides, we propose a low-complexity utilizing joint message passing algorithm (JMPA) detection, which narrowing the range of superimposed constellation points, called joint message passing algorithm based on sphere decoding (S-JMPA). But for the S-JMPA detector, the augment of the amount of access users and antennas leads to the degradation of decoding performance, the STBC is constructed to compensate the performance loss of the S-JMPA detector and ensure good bit error rate (BER) performance. The simulation results show that the proposed method achieves a close error rate performance to ML, JMPA, and a fast convergence rate. Moreover, compared to the ML detector, it also significantly reduces the detection complexity of the algorithms.

The effects of oscillator phase noises (PNs) on multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems are studied. It is shown that PNs of common oscillators at the transmitter and at the receiver have the same influence on the performance of (single-stream) beamforming MIMO-OFDM systems, yet different influences on spatial multiplexing MIMO-OFDM systems with singular value decomposition (SVD) based precoding/decoding. When each antenna is equipped with an independent oscillator, the PNs at the transmitter and at the receiver have different influences on beamforming MIMO-OFDM systems as well as spatial multiplexing MIMO-OFDM systems. Specifically, the PN effect on the transmitter (receiver) can be alleviated by having more transmit (receive) antennas for the case of independent oscillators. It is found that the independent oscillator case outperforms the common oscillator case in terms of error vector magnitude (EVM).

Network latency will be a critical performance metric for the Fifth Generation (5G) networks expected to be fully rolled out in 2020 through the IMT-2020 project. The multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) technology is a key enabler for the 5G massive connectivity criterion, especially from the massive densification perspective. Naturally, it appears that 5G MU-MIMO will face a daunting task to achieve an end-to-end 1 ms ultra-low latency budget if traditional network set-ups criteria are strictly adhered to. Moreover, 5G latency will have added dimensions of scalability and flexibility compared to prior existing deployed technologies. The scalability dimension caters for meeting rapid demand as new applications evolve. While flexibility complements the scalability dimension by investigating novel non-stacked protocol architecture. The goal of this review paper is to deploy ultra-low latency reduction framework for 5G communications considering flexibility and scalability. The Four (4) C framework consisting of cost, complexity, cross-layer and computing is hereby analyzed and discussed. The Four (4) C framework discusses several emerging new technologies of software defined network (SDN), network function virtualization (NFV) and fog networking. This review paper will contribute significantly towards the future implementation of flexible and high capacity ultra-low latency 5G communications.
