  17. Next Generation Wireless Local Area Networks: How to Achieve 15 dB Improvement Over Today's Standards Proposals Ender Ayanoglu UC Irvine The Henry Samueli School of Engineering Research Symposium 2005 May 23, 2005

  18. BICM-OFDM • BICM-OFDM can achieve the full frequency diversity order of L over L-tap frequency selective channels • It has a simple Viterbi decoder with modified metrics • If an equalizer is used, then the channel state information should be included at the bit metric level • Modified bit metrics are given as > 18 dB

  19. BICM-STBC-OFDM • Multiple antennas can be added at the transmitter and receiver using Space Time Block Codes to BICM-OFDM • BICM-STBC-OFDM with N transmit and M receive antennas achieves the maximum diversity order ofNMLin space and frequency over L-tap frequency selective channels 6 dB 8.5 dB

  20. Single Beamforming • The channel is known at the transmitter • Only one symbol is transmitted at a time over all the transmit antennas • Single Beamforming achieves the full spatial diversity of NM over flat fading channels when N transmit and M receive antennas are used • When used with BICM-OFDM, BBO (BICM-Beamforming-OFDM) achieves the full spatial and frequency diversity order of NML over L-tap frequency selective channels • Beamforming provides coding gain compared to STBC based systems 6.5 dB

  21. BICM-Multiple Beamforming(BICM-MB) • More than one symbol is transmitted over N transmit antennas • The diversity order of uncoded multiple beamforming decreases with increasing number of symbols transmitted. The diversity order of N transmit M receive antennas multiple beamforming system is (N-S+1)(M-S+1) when S symbols are transmitted • BICM-MB achieves full spatial diversity order of NMwhile achieving full spatial multiplexing of S=min(N,M). We designed an interleaver/code design criterion which satisfies full spatial diversity while maintaning full spatial multiplexing 14 dB > 20 dB 18 dB

  22. BICM-MB-OFDM • If the channel is frequency selective, then OFDM is used to combat ISI • BICM-MB-OFDM can achieve full spatial and frequency diversity of NML while maintaining full spatial multiplexing of S=min(N,M), by using an appropriate convolutional code. 15 dB 9.5 dB

  29. Current and Future Projects • Opportunistic communication • Spectrum is highly congested within shared bands and there is a need to study radios that can optimally utilize the available spectrum. • Co-operative radios within Ad-hoc networks • Within an ad-hoc network, different radios experience different fading conditions to a base station. • In a co-operative scheme a multi-hop network can be utilized to improve aggregate throughput. • Wideband channel modeling and emulation • Increasingly important in advanced wireless standards especially those that depend on MIMO. • Yield issues ? • Wireless integrated circuits are becoming dominated with memory, specially in standards that utilize OFDM. • Yield issues should be revisited in an effort to improve “effective” yield based on knowledge of desired application, namely wireless.

  40. Generalized MIMO ? ? • Throughput grows as min(M,N) M N M N M N M N M N

  41. Channel Uncertainty, Cooperation andUsable Degrees of Freedom • Multiple users, multiple antennas provide additional degrees of freedom. • If these degrees of freedom are usable, tremendous throughput gains are possible. • The additional degrees of freedom depend on the channel uncertainty at the transmitter and receiver and the ability to jointly process signals. • With increasing channel uncertainty and without cooperation, the throughput gains quickly disappear. • Perfect channel estimation, feedback and perfect cooperation are unrealistic, especially in increasingly mobile scenarios. • The success of future wireless systems requires: • Shaping the channel uncertainty. • operating at the best point on channel uncertainty-throughput curve. • near-optimal, joint adaptation, resource allocation and scheduling.

  42. Next Gen. Tech.
