1.	Aabel, Lise, et al. (författare) A TDD Distributed MIMO Testbed Using a 1-bit Radio-Over-Fiber Fronthaul Architecture 2024 Ingår i: IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques. - 0018-9480 .- 1557-9670. ; In Press Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract We present the uplink and downlink of a time-division duplex distributed multiple-input multiple-output (D-MIMO) testbed, based on a 1-bit radio-over-fiber architecture, which is low cost and scalable. The proposed architecture involves a central unit (CU) that is equipped with 1-bit digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital converters, operating at 10 GS/s. The CU is connected to multiple single-antenna remote radio heads (RRHs) via optical fibers, over which a binary radio frequency (RF) waveform is transmitted. In the uplink, a binary RF waveform is generated at the RRHs by a comparator, whose inputs are the received RF signal and a suitably designed dither signal. In the downlink, a binary RF waveform is generated at the CU via bandpass sigma-delta modulation. Our measurement results show that low error-vector magnitude (EVM) can be achieved in both the uplink and the downlink, despite 1-bit sampling at the CU. Specifically, for point-to-point over-cable transmission between a single user equipment (UE) and a CU equipped with a single RRH, we report, for a 10-MBd signal using single-carrier (SC) 16 quadratic-amplitude modulation (QAM) modulation, an EVM of 3.3% in the downlink, and of 4.5% in the uplink. We then consider a CU connected to three RRHs serving over the air two UEs, and show that, after over-the-air reciprocity calibration, a downlink zero-forcing precoder designed on the basis of uplink channel estimates at the CU achieves an EVM of 6.4% and 10.9% at UE 1 and UE 2, respectively. Finally, we investigate the ability of the proposed architecture to support orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) waveforms, and its robustness against both in-band and out-of-band interference.

To address this challenge, we present in this paper a phase-coherent distributed MIMO architecture, based on off-the-shelf, low-cost components. In the proposed architecture, up- and down-conversion are carried out at the central unit (CU). The RRHs are connected to the CU by means of optical fibers carrying oversampled radio-frequency (RF) 1-bit signals. In the downlink, the 1-bit signal is generated via sigma-delta modulation. At the RRH, the RF signal is recovered from the 1-bit signal through a bandpass filter and a power amplifier, and then fed to an antenna. In the uplink, the 1-bit signal is generated by a comparator whose inputs are the low-noise-amplified received RF signal and a suitably designed dither signal. The performance of the proposed architecture is evaluated with satisfactory results both via simulation and measurements from a testbed.

(författare) Neural-Network Optimized 1-bit Precoding for Massive MU-MIMO 2019 Ingår i: IEEE Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications, SPAWC. ; 2019-July Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract Base station (BS) architectures for massive multiuser (MU) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless systems are equipped with hundreds of antennas to serve tens of users on the same time-frequency channel. The immense number of BS antennas incurs high system costs, power, and interconnect bandwidth. To circumvent these obstacles, sophisticated MU precoding algorithms that enable the use of 1-bit DACs have been proposed. Many of these precoders feature parameters that are, traditionally, tuned manually to optimize their performance. We propose to use deep-learning tools to automatically tune such 1-bit precoders. Specifically, we optimize the biConvex 1-bit PrecOding (C2PO) algorithm using neural networks. Compared to the original C2PO algorithm, our neural-network optimized (NNO-)C2PO achieves the same error-rate performance at 2× lower complexity. Moreover, by training NNO-C2PO for different channel models, we show that 1-bit precoding can be made robust to vastly changing propagation conditions.

The presence of hundreds of antenna elements at the base station (BS), however, results in excessively high hardware costs and power consumption, and requires high interconnect throughput between the baseband-processing unit and the radio unit. Massive MU-MIMO that uses low-resolution analog-to-digital and digital-toanalog converters (DACs) has the potential to address all these issues. In this paper, we focus on downlink precoding for massive MU-MIMO systems with 1-bit DACs at the BS. The objective is to design precoders that simultaneously mitigate MU interference and quantization artifacts. We propose two nonlinear 1-bit precoding algorithms and corresponding very large-scale integration (VLSI) designs. Our algorithms rely on biconvex relaxation, which enables the design of efficient 1-bit precoding algorithms that achieve superior error-rate performance compared with that of linear precoding algorithms followed by quantization. To showcase the efficacy of our algorithms, we design VLSI architectures that enable efficient 1-bit precoding for massive MU-MIMO systems, in which hundreds of antennas serve tens of user equipments. We present corresponding field-programmable gate array (FPGA) reference implementations to demonstrate that 1-bit precoding enables reliable and high-rate downlink data transmission in practical systems.

To minimize the performance loss of this paradigm, we introduce FAME, short for finite-alphabet minimum mean-square error (MMSE) equalization, which is able to significantly outperform a naïve quantization of the linear MMSE matrix. We develop efficient algorithms to approximately solve the NP-hard FAME problem and showcase that near-optimal performance can be achieved with equalization coefficients quantized to only 1-3 bits for massive multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) millimeter-wave (mmWave) systems. We provide very-large scale integration (VLSI) results that demonstrate a reduction in equalization power and area by at least a factor of 3.9× and 5.8×, respectively.

We propose to replace part of the linear Wiener filter (WF) precoding matrix by a finite-alphabet WF precoding (FAWP) matrix, which enables the use of low-precision hardware that consumes low power and area. To minimize the performance loss of our approach, we present methods that efficiently compute FAWP matrices that best mimic the WF precoder. Our results show that FAWP matrices approach infinite-precision error-rate and error-vector magnitude performance with only 3-bit precoding weights, even when operating in realistic mmWave channels. Hence, FAWP is a promising approach to substantially reduce power consumption and silicon area in all-digital mmWave massive MU-MIMO systems.

All-digital base-station implementations for such systems need to process high-dimensional data at extremely high rates, which results in excessively high power consumption. In this paper, we propose two-stage spatial equalizers that first reduce the problem dimension by means of a hardware-friendly, low-resolution linear transform followed by spatial equalization on a lower-dimensional signal. We consider adaptive and non-adaptive dimensionality reduction strategies and demonstrate that the proposed two-stage spatial equalizers are able to approach the performance of conventional linear spatial equalizers that directly operate on high-dimensional data, while offering the potential to reduce the power consumption of spatial equalization.

However, supporting large bandwidths with all-digital architectures at mmWave frequencies is challenging as traditional baseband processing would result in excessively high power consumption and large silicon area. The recently-proposed concept of finite-alphabet equalization is able to address both of these issues by using equalization matrices that contain low-resolution entries to lower the power and complexity of high-throughput matrix-vector products in hardware. In this brief, we explore two different finite-alphabet equalization hardware implementations that tightly integrate the memory and processing elements: (i) a parallel array of multiply-accumulate (MAC) units and (ii) a bit-serial processing-in-memory (PIM) architecture. Our all-digital VLSI implementation results in 28nm CMOS show that the bit-serial PIM architecture reduces the area and power consumption up to a factor of 2× and 3×, respectively, when compared to a parallel MAC array that operates at the same throughput.

(författare) Resolution-Adaptive All-Digital Spatial Equalization for mmWave Massive MU-MIMO 2021 Ingår i: IEEE Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications, SPAWC. ; 2021-September, s. 386-390 Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract All-digital basestation (BS) architectures for millimeter-wave (mmWave) massive multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO), which equip each radio-frequency chain with dedicated data converters, have advantages in spectral efficiency, flexibility, and baseband-processing simplicity over hybrid analog-digital solutions. For all-digital architectures to be competitive with hybrid solutions in terms of power consumption, novel signal-processing methods and baseband architectures are necessary. In this paper, we demonstrate that adapting the resolution of the analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and spatial equalizer of an all-digital system to the communication scenario (e.g., the number of users, modulation scheme, and propagation conditions) enables orders-of-magnitude power savings for realistic mmWave channels. For example, for a 256-BS-antenna 16-user system supporting 1 GHz bandwidth, a traditional baseline architecture designed for a 64-user worst-case scenario would consume 23 W in 28 nm CMOS for the ADC array and the spatial equalizer, whereas a resolution-adaptive architecture is able to reduce the power consumption by 6.7×.

These technologies require the basestations (BSs) to process high-dimensional data at extreme rates, which results in high power dissipation and system costs. Finite-alphabet equalization has been proposed recently to reduce the power consumption and silicon area of uplink spatial equalization circuitry at the BS by coarsely quantizing the equalization matrix. In this work, we improve upon finite-alphabet equalization by performing unbiased estimation and soft-output computation for coded systems. By simulating a massive MU-MIMO system that uses orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing and per-user convolutional coding, we show that soft-output finite-alphabet equalization delivers competitive error-rate performance using only 1 to 3 bits per entry of the equalization matrix, even for challenging mmWave channels.

However, having hundreds of antennas and radio-frequency (RF) chains at the base station (BS) entails prohibitively high hardware costs and power consumption. This paper proposes a novel nonlinear precoding algorithm for the massive MU-MIMO downlink in which each RF chain contains an 8-phase (3-bit) constantmodulus transmitter, enabling the use of low-cost and powerefficient analog hardware. We present a high-throughput VLSI architecture and show implementation results on a Xilinx Virtex-7 FPGA. Compared to a recently-reported nonlinear precoder for BS designs that use two 1 -bit digital-to-analog converters per RF chain, our design enables up to 3:75 dB transmit power reduction at no more than a 2.7x increase in FPGA resources.

In the considered setup, the BS operates in full-digital mode, the physical size of the antenna array is limited, and there exists a rate constraint on the fronthaul interface connecting the (possibly remote) radio head to the digital baseband processing unit. Our analysis enables us to determine the optimal resolution of the analog-todigital and digital-to-analog converters as well as the optimal number of active antenna elements to be used in order to maximize the transmission rate on the bidirectional link, for a given constraint on the outage probability and on the fronthaul rate. We investigate both the case in which perfect channel-state information is available, and the case in which channel-state information is acquired through pilot transmission, and is, hence, imperfect. For the second case, we present a novel rate expression that relies on the generalized mutual-information framework.

(författare) Performance of Quantized Massive MIMO with Fronthaul Rate Constraint over Quasi-Static Channels 2023 Ingår i: IEEE Access. - 2169-3536 .- 2169-3536. ; 11, s. 56935-56950 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract We provide a rigorous framework for characterizing and numerically evaluating the error probability achievable in the uplink and downlink of a fully digital quantized multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system. We assume that the system operates over a quasi-static channel that does not change across the finite-length transmitted codewords, and only imperfect channel state information (CSI) is available at the base station (BS) and at the user equipments. The need for the novel framework developed in this paper stems from the fact that, for the quasi-static scenario, commonly used signal-to-interference-and-distortion-ratio expressions that depend on the variance of the channel estimation error are not relatable to any rigorous information-theoretic achievable-rate bound. We use our framework to investigate how the performance of a fully digital massive MIMO system subject to a fronthaul rate constraint, which imposes a limit on the number of samples per second produced by the analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters (ADCs and DACs), depends on the number of BS antennas and on the precision of the ADCs and DACs. In particular, we characterize, for a given fronthaul constraint, the trade-off between the number of antennas and the resolution of the data converters, and discuss how this trade-off is influenced by the accuracy of the available CSI. Our framework captures explicitly the cost, in terms of spectral efficiency, of pilot transmission—an overhead that the outage capacity, the classic asymptotic metric used in this scenario, cannot capture. We present extensive numerical results that validate the accuracy of the proposed framework and allow us to characterize, for a given fronthaul constraint, the optimal number of antennas and the optimal resolution of the converters as a function of the transmitted power and of the available CSI.

(författare) EVM Analysis of Distributed Massive MIMO with 1-Bit Radio-Over-Fiber Fronthaul 2024 Ingår i: IEEE Transactions on Communications. - 0090-6778 .- 1558-0857. ; In Press Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract We analyze the uplink performance of a distributed massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) architecture in which the remotely located access points (APs) are connected to a central processing unit via a fiber-optical fronthaul carrying a dithered and 1-bit quantized version of the received radio-frequency (RF) signal. The innovative feature of the proposed architecture is that no down-conversion is performed at the APs. This eliminates the need to equip the APs with local oscillators, which may be difficult to synchronize. Under the assumption that a constraint is imposed on the amount of data that can be exchanged across the fiber-optical fronthaul, we investigate the tradeoff between spatial oversampling, defined in terms of the total number of APs, and temporal oversampling, defined in terms of the oversampling factor selected at the central processing unit, to facilitate the recovery of the transmitted signal from 1-bit samples of the RF received signal. Using the so-called error-vector magnitude (EVM) as performance metric, we shed light on the optimal design of the dither signal, and quantify, for a given number of APs, the minimum fronthaul rate required for our proposed distributed massive MIMO architecture to outperform a standard co-located massive MIMO architecture in terms of EVM.

In contrast to most existing results, we assume that the system operates over a frequency-selective wideband channel and uses orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) to simplify equalization at the user equipments (UEs). Furthermore, we consider the practically relevant case of oversampling DACs. We theoretically analyze the uncoded bit error rate (BER) performance with linear precoders (e.g., zero forcing) and quadrature phase-shift keying using Bussgang's theorem. We also develop a lower bound on the information-theoretic sum-rate throughput achievable with Gaussian inputs, which can be evaluated in closed form for the case of 1-bit DACs. For the case of multi-bit DACs, we derive approximate, yet accurate, expressions for the distortion caused by low-precision DACs, which can be used to establish the lower bounds on the corresponding sum-rate throughput. Our results demonstrate that, for a massive MU-MIMO-OFDM system with a 128-antenna BS serving 16 UEs, only 3-4 DAC bits are required to achieve an uncoded BER of 10(-4) with a negligible performance loss compared to the infinite-resolution case at the cost of additional out-of-band emissions. Furthermore, our results highlight the importance of considering the inherent spatial and temporal correlations caused by low-precision DACs.

In this thesis, we investigate the performance of massive MIMO systems, which operate over a Rayleigh-fading channel, for the case when the base station (BS) is equipped with low-resolution data converters. More specifically, in the uplink the received signal at the BS is converted into the digital domain by a set of low-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). In the downlink, the transmit signal is generated by a set of low-resolution digital-to-analog converters (DACs).First, we consider the narrowband massive MIMO uplink for the case when the BS is equipped with low-resolution ADCs. Our focus is on the case where neither the transmitter nor the receiver have any a priori channel state information (CSI), which implies that the fading realizations have to be learned through pilot transmission followed by channel estimation at the receiver, based on coarsely quantized observations. We derive a low-complexity channel estimator and present lower bounds and closed-form expressions for the achievable rates with the proposed channel estimator and linear detection algorithms.Second, we consider the narrowband massive MIMO downlink for the case when the BS is equipped with low-resolution DACs. We derive lower bounds and closed-form expressions for the achievable rates with linear precoding under the assumption that the BS has access to perfect CSI. We also propose novel nonlinear precoding algorithms that are shown to significantly outperform linear precoders for the case of 1-bit DACs.Finally, focusing on the case of 1-bit DACs and linear precoding, we extend our analysis to the case of frequency-selective channels and to oversampling DACs.Our results suggest that the resolution of data converters in a massive MIMO system can be reduced significantly compared to what is used in today’s state-of-the-art MIMO systems, without significant reductions in the overall system performance.

We leverage Bussgang's theorem to develop accurate models for the distortions caused by nonlinear low-noise amplifiers, local oscillators with phase noise, and oversampling finite-resolution analog-to-digital converters. By combining the individual effects of these hardware models, we obtain a composite model for the BS-side distortion caused by nonideal hardware that takes into account its inherent correlation in time, frequency, and across antennas. We use this composite model to analyze the impact of BS-side hardware impairments on the performance of realistic massive MU-MIMO-OFDM uplink systems.

Jacobsson, Sven, 1990 (författare) Massive Multi-Antenna Communications with Low-Resolution Data Converters 2019 Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract Massive multi-user (MU) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) will be a core technology in future cellular communication systems. In massive MU-MIMO systems, the number of antennas at the base station (BS) is scaled up by several orders of magnitude compared to traditional multi-antenna systems with the goals of enabling large gains in capacity and energy efficiency. However, scaling up the number of active antenna elements at the BS will lead to significant increases in power consumption and system costs unless power-efficient and low-cost hardware components are used. In this thesis, we investigate the performance of massive MU-MIMO systems for the case when the BS is equipped with low-resolution data converters. First, we consider the massive MU-MIMO uplink for the case when the BS uses low-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) to convert the received signal into the digital domain. Our focus is on the case where neither the transmitter nor the receiver have any a priori channel state information (CSI), which implies that the channel realizations have to be learned through pilot transmission followed by BS-side channel estimation, based on coarsely quantized observations. We derive a low-complexity channel estimator and present lower bounds and closed-form approximations for the information-theoretic rates achievable with the proposed channel estimator together with conventional linear detection algorithms. Second, we consider the massive MU-MIMO downlink for the case when the BS uses low-resolution digital-to-analog converters (DACs) to generate the transmit signal. We derive lower bounds and closed-form approximations for the achievable rates with linear precoding under the assumption that the BS has access to perfect CSI. We also propose novel nonlinear precoding algorithms that are shown to significantly outperform linear precoding for the extreme case of 1-bit DACs. Specifically, for the case of symbol-rate 1-bit DACs and frequency-flat channels, we develop a multitude of nonlinear precoders that trade between performance and complexity. We then extend the most promising nonlinear precoders to the case of oversampling 1-bit DACs and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing for operation over frequency-selective channels. Third, we extend our analysis to take into account other hardware imperfections such as nonlinear amplifiers and local oscillators with phase noise. The results in this thesis suggest that the resolution of the ADCs and DACs in massive MU-MIMO systems can be reduced significantly compared to what is used in today's state-of-the-art communication systems, without significantly reducing the overall system performance.

(författare) Massive multiuser MIMO downlink with low- resolution converters 2018 Ingår i: International Zurich Seminar on Information and Communication (IZS 2018) Proceedings. Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract In this review paper, we analyze the downlink of a massive multiuser multiple-input multiple-output system in which the base station is equipped with low-resolution digital-to-analog converters (DACs). Using Bussgang’s theorem, we characterize the sum-rate achievable with a Gaussian codebook and scaled nearestneighbor decoding at the user equipments (UE). For the case of 1-bit DACs, we show how to evaluate the sum-rate using Van Vleck’s arcsine law. For the case of multi-bit DACs, for which the sum-rate cannot be expressed in closed-form, we present two approximations. The first one, which is obtained by ignoring the overload (or clipping) distortion caused by the DACs, turns out to be accurate provided that one can adapt the dynamic range of the quantizer to the received-signal strength so as to avoid clipping. The second approximation, which is obtained by modeling the distortion noise as a white process, both in time and space, is accurate whenever the resolution of the DACs is sufficiently high and when the oversampling ratio is small. We conclude the paper by discussing extensions to orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing systems; we also touch upon the problem of out-of-band emissions in lowprecision-DAC architectures.

To this end, we reformulate the original NP-hard precoding problem as a tree search and deploy a number of strategies that improve the pruning efficiency without sacrificing optimality. We evaluate the error-rate performance and the complexity of the resulting 1-bit branch-and-bound (BB-1) precoder, and compare its efficacy to that of existing, suboptimal algorithms for 1-bit precoding in MU-MIMO systems.

The use of low-precision digital-to-analog converters (DACs) in MU-MIMO base stations is of interest because it reduces the power consumption, system costs, and raw baseband data rates. In this paper, we develop novel algorithms for downlink precoding in massive MU-MIMO systems with 1-bit DACs that support higher-order modulation schemes such as 8-PSK or 16-QAM. Specifically, we present low-complexity nonlinear precoding algorithms that achieve low error rates when combined with blind or training-based channel-estimation algorithms at the user equipment. These results are in stark contrast to linear-quantized precoding algorithms, which suffer from a high error floor if used with high-order modulation schemes and 1-bit DACs

Specifically, we adapt the squared-infinity norm Douglas-Rachford splitting (SQUID) precoder to systems that use oversampling digital-to-analog converters (DACs) at the base station (BS) and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) to communicate over frequency-selective channels. We demonstrate that the proposed SQUID-OFDM precoder is able to generate transmit signals that are constrained to constant envelope, which enables the use of power-efficient analog radio-frequency circuitry at the BS. By quantizing the phase of the resulting constant-envelope signal, we obtain a finite-cardinality transmit signal that can be synthesized by low-resolution (e.g., 1-bit) DACs. We use error-rate simulations to demonstrate the superiority of SQUID-OFDM over linear-quantized precoders for massive MU-MIMO-OFDM systems.

We focus on systems in which the base station (BS) is equipped with low-resolution digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is used to communicate to the user equipments (UEs) over frequency- selective channels. We demonstrate that analog filtering in combination with simple frequency-domain digital predistortion (DPD) at the BS enables a significant reduction of OOB emissions, but degrades the signal-to-interference-noise-and-distortion ratio (SINDR) at the UEs and increases the peak-to-average power ratio (PAR) at the BS. We use Bussgang’s theorem to characterize the tradeoffs between OOB emissions, SINDR, and PAR, and to study the impact of analog filters and DPD on the error-rate perfor- mance of the massive MU-MIMO-OFDM downlink. Our results show that by carefully tuning the parameters of the analog filters, one can achieve a significant reduction in OOB emissions with only a moderate degradation of error-rate performance and PAR.

The analysis is conducted for the setting where neither the transmitter nor the receiver have a priori information on the realization of the fading channels. This means that channel-state information needs to be acquired at the receiver on the basis of the one-bit quantized channel outputs. We show that least-squares (LS) channel estimation combined with joint pilot and data processing is capacity achieving in the single-user, single-receive-antenna case. We also investigate the achievable uplink throughput in a massive multiple-input multiple-output system where each element of the antenna array at the receiver base-station feeds a one-bit ADC. We show that LS channel estimation and maximum-ratio combining are sufficient to support both multiuser operation and the use of high-order constellations. This holds in spite of the severe nonlinearity introduced by the one-bit ADCs.

(författare) Quantized Precoding for Massive MU-MIMO 2017 Ingår i: IEEE Transactions on Communications. - 0090-6778 .- 1558-0857. ; 65:11, s. 4670-4684 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract Massive multiuser (MU) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is foreseen to be one of the key technologies in fifth-generation wireless communication systems. In this paper, we investigate the problem of downlink precoding for a narrowband massive MU-MIMO system with low-resolution digital-to-analog converters (DACs) at the base station (BS). We analyze the performance of linear precoders, such as maximal-ratio transmission and zero-forcing, subject to coarse quantization. Using Bussgang's theorem, we derive a closed-form approximation on the rate achievable under such coarse quantization. Our results reveal that the performance attainable with infinite-resolution DACs can be approached using DACs having only 3-4 bits of resolution, depending on the number of BS antennas and the number of user equipments (UEs). For the case of 1-bit DACs, we also propose novel nonlinear precoding algorithms that significantly outperform linear precoders at the cost of an increased computational complexity. Specifically, we show that nonlinear precoding incurs only a 3 dB penalty compared with the infinite-resolution case for an uncoded bit-error rate of 10-3, in a system with 128 BS antennas that uses 1-bit DACs and serves 16 single-antenna UEs. In contrast, the penalty for linear precoders is about 8dB.

Our focus is on the case where neither the transmitter nor the receiver have any a priori channel state information. This implies that the fading realizations have to be learned through pilot transmission followed by channel estimation at the receiver, based on coarsely quantized observations. We propose a novel channel estimator, based on Bussgang's decomposition, and a novel approximation to the rate achievable with finite-resolution ADCs, both for the case of finite-cardinality constellations and of Gaussian inputs, that is accurate for a broad range of system parameters. Through numerical results, we illustrate that, for the 1-bit quantized case, pilot-based channel estimation together with maximal-ratio combing, or zero-forcing detection enables reliable multi-user communication with high-order constellations, in spite of the severe nonlinearity introduced by the ADCs. Furthermore, we show that the rate achievable in the infinite-resolution (no quantization) case can be approached using ADCs with only a few bits of resolution. We finally investigate the robustness of low-ADC-resolution MU-MIMO uplink against receive power imbalances between the different users, caused for example by imperfect power control.

We focus on the practically relevant scenario in which orthogonal-frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is used to communicate over frequency-selective channels. Our contributions are twofold. First, we use Bussgang's theorem to analyze the impact on performance caused by timing and frequency offsets in the presence of 1-bit DACs at the BS. Second, we demonstrate the efficacy of the widely used Schmidl-Cox synchronization algorithm. Our results demonstrate that the 1-bit massive MU-MIMO-OFDM downlink is resilient against timing and frequency offsets.

As a remedy, we propose HERMIT (short for Hybrid jammER MITigation), a method that combines a hardware-friendly adaptive analog transform with a corresponding digital equalizer: The analog transform removes most of the jammer’s energy prior to data conversion; the digital equalizer suppresses jammer residues while detecting the legitimate transmit data. We provide theoretical results that establish the optimal analog transform as a function of the user equipments' and the jammer’s channels. Using simulations with mmWave channel models, we demonstrate the superiority of HERMIT compared both to purely digital jammer mitigation as well as to a recent hybrid method that mitigates jammer interference with a nonadaptive analog transform.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract In this work, we propose an iterative scheme for computing a linear precoder that takes into account the impact of hardware impairments in the multiuser multiple-input singleoutput downlink. We particularly focus on the case when the transmitter is equipped with nonlinear power amplifiers. Using Bussgang's theorem, we formulate a lower bound on the achievable sum rate in the presence of hardware impairments, and maximize it using projected gradient ascent. We provide numerical examples that demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed distortion-aware scheme for precoding over a millimeter-wave channel.
34.	Sezgin, Ibrahim Can, 1992, et al. (författare) All-Digital, Radio-over-Fiber, Communication Link Architecture for Time-Division Duplex Distributed Antenna Systems 2021 Ingår i: Journal of Lightwave Technology. - 0733-8724 .- 1558-2213. ; 39:9, s. 2769-2779 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract Radio-over-fiber is a popular technique to establish communication links between a central location and many remote antenna units. Many different architectures are available for the downlink, i.e., for the communication link from the central unit to the remote antennas. On the contrary, the low-cost and low-complexity requirement of the remote units makes it difficult to devise architectures suitable for the uplink, i.e., for the communication link from the remote antennas to the central unit. In this paper, we address this and propose a low-complexity, all-digital, time-division-duplex communication architecture. For the downlink, a band-pass sigma-delta-over-fiber is employed. In the receive mode, the uplink includes an all-digital pulse-width-modulation technique. The received radio frequency (RF) signal is quantized into a binary stream through comparison with a tailored reference signal provided by the central unit. The direct quantization of the RF signal eliminates any need for local-oscillator and mixer stages at the remote units. The performance of the proposed architecture is investigated through extensive simulations and measurements. For instance, the all-digital, time-division duplex communication link provides -30.0 dB and -25.5 dB normalized mean square error signal quality through downlink and uplink communication with 20-MHz, 64-quadrature amplitude modulation signals centered at 2.365-GHz, respectively.
