What Does a 3 dB Buy in MIMO Channels?

چکیده
In this paper, an outage limited MIMO channel is considered. We build on Zheng and Tse’s elegant formulation of the diversity-multiplexing tradeoff to develop a better understanding of the asymptotic relationship between probability of error, transmission rate and signal-to-noise ratio. We identify the limitation imposed by the notion of multiplexing gain and develop a new formulation for the throughput-reliability tradeoff that avoids this limitation. The new characterization is then used to shed more light on the asymptotic trends exhibited by the outage probability curves of MIMO channels. I. PROBLEM FORMULATION In an Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) setting, it is well known that, a 3 dB increase in SNR translates into one extra bit in channel’s capacity in the high SNR regime. The scenario considered in this paper, however, is more involved. We address an outage limited channel, where the randomness of the instantaneous mutual information results in a nonzero lower bound on the probability of error, for nonzero constant transmission rates. Hence, a fundamental tradeoff between the throughput, as quantified by the transmission rate, and reliability, as quantified by the so-called outage probability, arises. Our work explores this tradeoff in the high SNR regime. In this paper, we consider a MIMO wireless communication system with m transmit and n receive antennas. We address a quasi-static flat-fading setup where the path gains remain constant over l consecutive symbol-intervals (i.e. a block), but change independently from one block to another. We further assume a coherent communication model implying the availability of channel state information (CSI) at the destination. Under these assumptions, the channel input-output relation is given by:

The Throughput-Reliability Tradeoff in MIMO Channels
In this paper, an outage limited MIMO channel is considered. We build on Zheng and Tse’s elegant formulation of the diversity-multiplexing tradeoff to develop a better understanding of the asymptotic relationship between the probability of error, transmission rate, and signal-to-noise ratio. In particular, we identify the limitation imposed by the multiplexing gain notion and develop a new form...
متن کاملSingle-Carrier Frequency-Domain Equalization for Orthogonal STBC over Frequency-Selective MIMO-PLC channels
In this paper we propose a new space diversity scheme for broadband PLC systems using orthogonal space-time block coding (OSTBC) transmission combined with single-carrier frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE). To apply this diversity technique to PLC channels, we first propose a new technique for combining SC-FDE with OSTBCs applicable to all dispersive multipath channels impaired by impulsive...
متن کاملMIMO Self-Encoded Spread Spectrum with Iterative Detection over Rayleigh Fading Channels
Self-encoded spread spectrum (SESS) is a novel communication technique that derives its spreading code from the randomness of the source stream rather than using conventional pseudorandom noise (PN) code. In this paper, we propose to incorporate SESS in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems as a means to combat against fading effects in wireless channels. Orthogonal space-time block-cod...
متن کاملMIMO-OFDM for wireless communications: signal detection with enhanced channel estimation
Multiple transmit and receive antennas can be used to form multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels to increase the capacity by a factor of the minimum number of transmit and receive antennas. In this paper, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for MIMO channels (MIMO-OFDM) is considered for wideband transmission to mitigate intersymbol interference and enhance system capacit...
