The tripolarized MIMO system can provide one more degree of freedom and have a more compacted size over a dual-polarized MIMO system, which is attractive for high-capacity wireless communication systems. In this paper, we analyze and model channel properties for tripolarized MIMO systems based on experimental channel measurements in typical indoor and outdoor scenarios. Firstly, channel measurement campaigns in the laboratory and the Urban Micro (UMi) scenarios on sub-6 GHz bands are presented. Then, based on measured data, path loss, delay spread (DS), and cross-polarization discrimination (XPD) for 9 polarization combinations are analyzed and modeled in a statistical way. Statistical results of these channel properties are also given. It is observed that channel properties of both large-scale fading and small-scale fading depend strongly on the polarization direction. Furthermore, we evaluate the performance of tripolarized MIMO systems by analyzing the Demmel condition number and channel capacity gain (CG). For both the indoor and the outdoor scenarios, it is found that colocated tripolarized antenna can bring a nearly threefold CG with respect to the unipolarized one. These results can give good insights into the design and evaluation of tripolarized MIMO systems.

According to the demands for fifth-generation (5G) communication systems, high frequency bands (above 6 GHz) need to be adopted to provide additional spectrum. This paper investigates the characteristics of indoor corridor channels at 15 GHz. Channel measurements with a vector network analyzer in two corridors were conducted. Based on a ray-optical approach, a deterministic channel model covering both antenna and propagation characteristic is presented. The channel model is evaluated by comparing simulated results of received power and root mean square delay spread with the corresponding measurements. By removing the impact of directional antennas from the transmitter and receiver, a path loss model as well as small-scale fading properties for typical corridors is presented based on the generated samples from the deterministic model. Results show that the standard deviation of path loss variation is related to the Tx height, and placing the Tx closer to the ceiling leads to a smaller fluctuation of path loss.

The emerging large-scale/massive multi-input multioutput (MIMO) system combined with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is considered a key technology for its advantage of improving the spectral efficiency. In this paper, we introduce an iterative detection algorithm for uplink large-scale multiuser MIMO-OFDM communication systems. We design a Main-Branch structure iterative turbo detector using the Approximate Message Passing algorithm simplified by linear approximation (AMP-LA) and using the Mean Square Error (MSE) criterion to calculate the correlation coefficients between main detector and branch detector for the given iteration. The complexity of our method is compared with other detection algorithms. The simulation results show that our scheme can achieve better performance than the conventional detection methods and have the acceptable complexity.

In next-generation radio communication systems, the use of higher frequency bands and the massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems has turned into hot research topics because they have the potential to increase network capacity significantly by exploiting the available narrowband and broadband spectrums. Therefore, the narrowband channel measurements are executed at the following five potential frequency bands, including 2.6 GHz, 3.5 GHz, 5.6 GHz, 10 GHz, and 28 GHz in the Shanghai subway tunnel environment in order to fulfill the latest standards of fifth generation (5G). Moreover, in the broadband channel measurements, the center frequency is 3.5 GHz and 5.6 GHz and the bandwidth is considered as 160 MHz, respectively. At the transmitter (Tx) side, a uniform rectangular antenna array composed of 32 elements is fixed on the platform near the tunnel walls. The receiver (Rx) is equipped with a uniform cylindrical antenna array consisting of 64 elements, which is set on a trolley along the track. Based on the acquired massive MIMO channel impulse responses, delay spread, angle spread, eigenvalue and channel capacity are analyzed. The results reveal that the multipath delay in the tunnel scenario is quite short, the delay spread and angle spread drop rapidly as the distance between Tx and Rx increases and the channel matrix gradually becomes serious. This research provides a reference for the deployment of future 5G systems in the subway tunnel.

Rapidly rising demand for radio communication and the explosion in the number of mobile communications service subscribers have led to the need for optimization in the development of fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication systems. Previous studies on the development of propagation models considering a propagation environment in the existing microwave band have been mainly focused on analyzing the propagation characteristics with regard to large-scale factors such as path losses, delay propagation, and angle diffusions. In this paper, we investigated the concept of spatial and time changes ratios in the measurement of wave propagations and measured RSRP of Long Term Evolution (LTE) signals at three locations considering the time rate of 1% and 50%. We confirmed the concept of spatial and time changes rate based on the results of analyzing the signal data measured and proposed the propagation models 1 and 2 in microcell downtown. The forecast results using proposed models 1 and 2 were better than the COST231 model in both indoor and outdoor measured places. It was predicted between a time rate of 1% and 50% indoor within 400m and outdoor within 200m. In the future, we will study the propagation model of 5G mobile communication as well as the current 4G communication using artificial intelligence technology.

The indoor radio channels at 15 GHz are investigated based on measurements. The large- and small-scale fading behaviors as well as the delay dispersion characteristics are discussed. It is found that the large-scale fading, RiceanK-factor, and delay spread can be described by log-normal distributions. Furthermore, both autocorrelation and cross correlation properties of the above parameters are analyzed and modeled. These parameters characterize fading and delay behaviors as well as their mutual dependency and can be used as empirical values for future wireless system design and simulation in 15 GHz short-range indoor channels.


Scalable version of multiuser MIMO called Large-scale MIMO is a one of the powerful technology in future wireless communication systems in which huge amount of BS (base station) antennas utilized to process multiple user equipment. Energy consumed is high with more antennas and also it leads to increase the signal detection complexity and overall circuit power consumption. Designing energy efficient and low complexity MIMO system is considered as a challenging issue. This paper presents the ISSOR signal detection for energy efficient and low complexity large scale MIMO system. VA-GSM (Variable Antenna Generalized spatial modulation) is used in which the number of active antenna transmissions are varied for every transmission in the large scale MIMO. In transmitter side, Eigen value based approach is used for antenna selection. Then, improved symmetric successive over relaxation (ISSOR) approach is proposed for low complexity signal detection in receiver side. The number of user equipment, transmit power, as well as the amount of antennas at the base station, are considered as the optimal system parameters which are chosen for enhancing the efficiency of utilized energy in the system. The proposed scheme implemented in MATLAB software. The proposed scheme attained the high energy efficiency compared to other approaches. Moreover, the BER is utilized to estimate the performance of an offered algorithm and also compared to the previously determined algorithm of existing literatures.

Power consumption and hardware cost reduction with the use of hybrid beamforming in large-scale millimeter wave MIMO systems. The large dimensional analog precoding integrates with the hybrid beamforming based on the phase shifters including digital precoding with lower dimensionality. The reduction of Euclidean distance between the hybrid precoder and fully digital is the major problem to overcome the minimization of resultant spectral efficiency. The issue formulates as a fully digital precoder’s matrix factorization problem based on the analog RF precoder matrix and the digital baseband precoder matrix. An additional element-wise unit modulus constraint is imposed by the phase shifters on the analog RF precoder matrix. The traditional methods have a problem of performance loss in spectral efficiency. In the processing time and iteration, high complexities result in optimization algorithms. In this paper, a novel low complexity algorithm proposes which maximizes the spectral efficiency and reduces the computational processing time.

Signal detection is one of the fundamental problems in three-dimensional multiple-input multiple-output (3D-MIMO) wireless communication systems. This paper addresses a signal detection problem in 3D-MIMO system, in which spatial modulation (SM) transmission scheme is considered due to its advantages of low complexity and high-energy efficiency. SM based signal transmission typically results in the block-sparse structure in received signals. Hence, structured compressed sensing (SCS) based signal detection is proposed to exploit the inherent block sparsity information in the received signal for the uplink (UL). Moreover, normalization preprocessing is considered before iteration process with the purpose of preventing the noise from being overamplified by the column vector with inadequately large elements. Simulation results are provided to show the stable and reliable performance of the proposed algorithm under both Gaussian and non-Gaussian noise, in comparison with methods such as compressed sensing based detectors, minimum mean square error (MMSE), and zero forcing (ZF).

Our society has become fully submersed in fourth generation (4G) technologies, setting constant connectivity as the norm. Together with self-driving cars, augmented reality, and upcoming technologies, the new generation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is pushing the development of fifth generation (5G) communication systems. In 5G architecture, increased capacity, improved data rate, and decreased latency are the objectives. In this paper, a measurement campaign is proposed; we focused on studying the propagation properties of microwaves at a center frequency of 3.5 GHz, commonly used in 5G cellular networks. Wideband measurement data were gathered at various indoor environments with different dimensions and characteristics. A ray-tracing analysis showed that the power spectrum is dominated by the line of sight component together with reflections on two sidewalls, indicating the practical applicability of our results. Two wideband parameters, root mean square delay spread and coherence bandwidth, were estimated for the considered scenarios, and we found that they are highly dependent on the physical dimension of the environment rather than on furniture present in the room. The relationship between both parameters was also investigated to provide support to network planners when obtaining the bandwidth from the delay spread, easily computed by a ray-tracing tool.

A novel design of mesh ring resonator system is proposed and simulated to obtain the multi frequency comb bands, in which the frequency band less than 10 GHz (about 0.084 nm) of comb lines spacing with commercialized ring parameters is achieved. The proposed system is used to enhance the capacity of optical frequency comb for redundancy networks against the network element failures and to increase the survivability of the communication systems. The dependence of the mesh ring transmission characteristics with coupling coefficients of directional couplers is analyzed and studied. In application, such a system can be employed as an on-chip optical device for redundancy networks against the network element failures and to increase the survivability of the communication systems. The potential for improving the reliability and availability of the optical networks is discussed. Moreover, the proposed system can also be employed as multi sensing devices, where the microscale, for instance, as an atom/molecule force sensor can be measured by the shifted parameters of the Vernier filters.
