This paper describes several aspects of the physical layer and over the air interface of Loon. Loon utilizes stratospheric balloon-based high-altitude platforms (HAPs) that use Long-Term Evolution (LTE) to connect people with standard User Equipment (UEs) to the Internet. In particular, topics covered include the Loon prototype eNodeB (eNB) antenna pattern, the observed channel, UE battery life, and...
Massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) has drawn intensive attention of researchers for solving huge data transmissions in the fifth generation wireless communication. Antennas aligning in array bring in advantages for interference reduction of incoming wave signals and interference offset among antenna elements. The design of antenna array is studied in this paper. The design is turned into...
A distributed antenna system enhances the coverage performance of a system by distributing the antennas geographically, as well as by improving the diversity gain and capacity performance. The channel impulse response matrix of a distributed MIMO system in an airplane cabin environment is measured by a self-built channel measurement platform. The transmitting antennas are distributed, and the receiving...
Deployment of small moving cells (SMCs) has been considered in advanced cellular systems, where wireless backhaul links are required between base stations and SMCs. In this paper, we consider signal transmission by means of multiuser beamforming in the wireless backhaul link. We generate the beam weight in an eigen-direction of weighted combination of short- and long-term channel information of the...
Interference alignment (IA) is a key technology for achieving the capacity scaling required by next generation wireless networks, which is proved to obtain the maximum degrees of freedom (DoF). The aim of this paper is to propose interference alignment schemes through manifold optimization theory for K-user interference channel. We limit the optimization only at transmitters and relax the hypothesis...
This paper investigates codebook-based precoding for spatial modulation (SM) and generalized spatial modulation (GSM) systems. Codebook-based precoding allows the system to dispense with full channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT). This considerably reduces the feedback overhead. Phase-only codebooks with systematic structure are investigated since they avoid increasing the peak to average...
