The problem of energy-efficient precoding is investigated when the terminals in the system are equipped with multiple antennas. Considering static and fast-fading multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels, the energy-efficiency is defined as the transmission rate to power ratio and shown to be maximized at low transmit power. The most interesting case is the one of slow fading MIMO channels....
In energy harvesting communication systems, an exogenous recharge process supplies energy for the data transmission and arriving energy can be buffered in a battery before consumption. Transmission is interrupted if there is not sufficient energy. We address communication with such random energy arrivals in an information-theoretic setting. Based on the classical additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN)...
We consider the K-link constant coefficient multiple-input-multiple-output interference channel (MIMO IFC) where inter-link interference is treated as Gaussian noise (Noisy MIMO IFC). Starting from Interference Alignment (IA) constraints, analytical conditions that need to be satisfied in order to admit an IA solution for such a MIMO IFC are derived. For a given degrees of freedom allocation, these...
In this paper, we deal with the time slot allocation in time-hopping ultra-wide band (TH-UWB) ad-hoc networks in order to maximize the total sum rate. This problem is known to be a discrete NP-hard optimization problem and hence cannot be solved with a computationally efficient algorithm. Moreover, the sum rate maximization often leads to starvation of links experiencing bad channel conditions. Our...
Advances in multimedia technology and the growing popularity of Internet has driven designers to deploy new technologies in cellular systems in order to increase their capacity as well as to improve the performance. One promising solution is to combine ad hoc networks and cellular networks by designing a cellular system that can support multihop transmission. These systems are called Multihop Cellular...
The fading cognitive multiple-access channel with confidential messages (MAC-CM) is investigated, in which two users attempt to transmit common information to a destination and user 1 also has confidential information intended for the destination. User 1 views user 2 as an eavesdropper and wishes to keep its confidential information as secret as possible from user 2. The multiple-access channel (both...
In this paper, we address the optimal power allocation problem for minimizing the notion of information theoretic outage for an M parallel block-Rayleigh-fading channels using a finite rate power codebook (limited feedback). In contrast to the existing literature on outage minimization for MIMO systems with limited feedback, we derive effective approximations to the channel quantization regions in...
