We propose a full-duplex (FD) cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system with dual users, where a dedicated FD relay assists the information transmission to the user with weak channel ...condition. Under the realistic assumption of imperfect self-interference cancellation, the achievable outage probability of both users and ergodic sum capacity are investigated, and exact analytical expressions are derived. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed FD cooperative NOMA system attains better performance than the half-duplex cooperative NOMA system in the moderate signal-to-noise ratio regime.
We consider a dual-hop full-duplex relaying system, where the energy constrained relay node is powered by radio frequency signals from the source using the time-switching architecture, both the ...amplify-and-forward and decode-and-forward relaying protocols are studied. Specifically, we provide an analytical characterization of the achievable throughput of three different communication modes, namely, instantaneous transmission, delay-constrained transmission, and delay tolerant transmission. In addition, the optimal time split is studied for different transmission modes. Our results reveal that, when the time split is optimized, the full-duplex relaying could substantially boost the system throughput compared to the conventional half-duplex relaying architecture for all three transmission modes. In addition, it is shown that the instantaneous transmission mode attains the highest throughput. However, compared to the delay-constrained transmission mode, the throughput gap is rather small. Unlike the instantaneous time split optimization which requires instantaneous channel state information, the optimal time split in the delay-constrained transmission mode depends only on the statistics of the channel, hence, is suitable for practical implementations.
In high efficiency video coding (HEVC), the tree structured coding unit (CU) is adopted to allow recursive splitting into four equally sized blocks. At each depth level (or CU size), it enables up to ...35 intraprediction modes, including a planar mode, a dc mode, and 33 directional modes. The intraprediction via exhaustive mode search exploited in the test model of HEVC (HM) effectively improves coding efficiency, but results in a very high computational complexity. In this paper, a fast CU size decision algorithm for HEVC intracoding is proposed to speed up the process by reducing the number of candidate CU sizes required to be checked for each treeblock. The novelty of the proposed algorithm lies in the following two aspects: 1) an early determination of CU size decision with adaptive thresholds is developed based on the texture homogeneity and 2) a novel bypass strategy for intraprediction on large CU size is proposed based on the combination of texture property and coding information from neighboring coded CUs. Experimental results show that the proposed effective CU size decision algorithm achieves a computational complexity reduction up to 67%, while incurring only 0.06-dB loss on peak signal-to-noise ratio or 1.08% increase on bit rate compared with that of the original coding in HM.
Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) have been recently considered as an energy-efficient solution for future wireless networks due to their fast and low-power configuration, which has ...increased potential in enabling massive connectivity and low-latency communications. Accurate and low-overhead channel estimation in RIS-based systems is one of the most critical challenges due to the usually large number of RIS unit elements and their distinctive hardware constraints. In this paper, we focus on the uplink of a RIS-empowered multi-user Multiple Input Single Output (MISO) uplink communication systems and propose a channel estimation framework based on the parallel factor decomposition to unfold the resulting cascaded channel model. We present two iterative estimation algorithms for the channels between the base station and RIS, as well as the channels between RIS and users. One is based on alternating least squares (ALS), while the other uses vector approximate message passing to iteratively reconstruct two unknown channels from the estimated vectors. To theoretically assess the performance of the ALS-based algorithm, we derived its estimation Cramér-Rao Bound (CRB). We also discuss the downlink achievable sum rate computation with estimated channels and different precoding schemes for the base station. Our extensive simulation results show that our algorithms outperform benchmark schemes and that the ALS technique achieves the CRB. It is also demonstrated that the sum rate using the estimated channels always reach that of perfect channels under various settings, thus, verifying the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed estimation algorithms.
High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) adopts the quadtree structured coding unit (CU), which allows recursive splitting into four equally sized blocks. At each depth level, it enables SKIP mode, merge ...mode, inter 2N × 2N, inter 2N × N, inter N × 2N, inter 2N × nU, inter 2N × nD, inter nL x 2N, inter nR × 2N, inter N × N (only available for the smallest CU), intra 2N × 2N, and intra N × N (only available for the smallest CU) in inter-frames. Similar to H.264/AVC, the mode decision process in HEVC is performed using all the possible depth levels (or CU sizes) and prediction modes to find the one with the least rate distortion (RD) cost using Lagrange multiplier. This achieves the highest coding efficiency, but leads to a very high computational complexity. Since the optimal prediction mode is highly content dependent, it is not efficient to use all the modes. In this paper, we propose a fast inter-mode decision algorithm for HEVC by jointly using the inter-level correlation of quadtree structure and the spatiotemporal correlation. There exist strong correlations of the prediction mode, the motion vector and RD cost between different depth levels and between spatially temporally adjacent CUs. We statistically analyze the prediction mode distribution at each depth level and the coding information correlation among the adjacent CUs. Based on the analysis results, three adaptive inter-mode decision strategies are proposed including early SKIP mode decision, prediction size correlation-based mode decision and RD cost correlation-based mode decision. Experimental results show that the proposed overall algorithm can save 49%-52% computational complexity on average with negligible loss of coding efficiency, exhibiting applicability to various types of video sequences.
To improve national security, government agencies have long been committed to enforcing powerful surveillance measures on suspicious individuals or communications. In this paper, we consider a ...wireless legitimate surveillance system, where a full-duplex multi-antenna legitimate monitor aims to eavesdrop on a dubious communication link between a suspicious pair via proactive jamming. Assuming that the legitimate monitor can successfully overhear the suspicious information only when its achievable data rate is no smaller than that of the suspicious receiver, the key objective is to maximize the eavesdropping non-outage probability by joint design of the jamming power, receive and transmit beamformers at the legitimate monitor. Depending on the number of receive/transmit antennas implemented, i.e., single-input single-output, single-input multiple-output, multiple-input single-output, and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), four different scenarios are investigated. For each scenario, the optimal jamming power is derived in a closed form and efficient algorithms are obtained for the optimal transmit/receive beamforming vectors. Moreover, low-complexity suboptimal beamforming schemes are proposed for the MIMO case. Our analytical findings demonstrate that by exploiting multiple antennas at the legitimate monitor, the eavesdropping non-outage probability can be significantly improved compared with the single-antenna case. In addition, the proposed suboptimal transmit zero-forcing scheme yields similar performance as the optimal scheme.
The emerging high efficiency video coding standard (HEVC) adopts the quadtree-structured coding unit (CU). Each CU allows recursive splitting into four equal sub-CUs. At each depth level (CU size), ...the test model of HEVC (HM) performs motion estimation (ME) with different sizes including 2N × 2N, 2N × N, N × 2N and N × N. ME process in HM is performed using all the possible depth levels and prediction modes to find the one with the least rate distortion (RD) cost using Lagrange multiplier. This achieves the highest coding efficiency but requires a very high computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a fast CU size decision algorithm for HM. Since the optimal depth level is highly content-dependent, it is not efficient to use all levels. We can determine CU depth range (including the minimum depth level and the maximum depth level) and skip some specific depth levels rarely used in the previous frame and neighboring CUs. Besides, the proposed algorithm also introduces early termination methods based on motion homogeneity checking, RD cost checking and SKIP mode checking to skip ME on unnecessary CU sizes. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can significantly reduce computational complexity while maintaining almost the same RD performance as the original HEVC encoder.
In this paper, we consider a multiantenna system where the receiver should harvest energy from the transmitter by wireless energy transfer to support its wireless information transmission. To ...maximize the harvesting energy, we propose the performance of adaptive energy beamforming according to the instantaneous channel state information (CSI). To help the transmitter obtain the CSI for energy beamforming, we further propose a win-win CSI quantization feedback strategy to improve the efficiencies of both power and information transmission. The focus of this paper is on the tradeoff of wireless energy and information transfer by adjusting the transfer duration with a total duration constraint. By revealing the relationship between transmit power, transfer duration, and feedback amount, we derive two wireless energy and information transfer tradeoff schemes by maximizing an upper bound and an approximate lower bound of the average information transmission rate, respectively. Moreover, the impact of imperfect CSI at the receiver is investigated, and the corresponding wireless energy and information transfer tradeoff scheme is also given. Finally, numerical results validate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.
This paper aims to provide a comprehensive solution for the design, analysis, and optimization of a multiple-antenna non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system for multiuser downlink communication ...with both time duplex division and frequency duplex division modes. First, we design a new framework for multiple-antenna NOMA, including user clustering, channel state information (CSI) acquisition, superposition coding, transmit beamforming, and successive interference cancellation. Then, we analyze the performance of the considered system, and derive exact closed-form expressions for average transmission rates in terms of transmit power, CSI accuracy, transmission mode, and channel conditions. For further enhancing the system performance, we optimize three key parameters, i.e., transmit power, feedback bits, and transmission mode. Especially, we propose a low-complexity joint optimization scheme, so as to fully exploit the potential of multiple-antenna techniques in NOMA. Moreover, through asymptotic analysis, we reveal the impact of system parameters on average transmission rates, and hence present some guidelines on the design of multiple-antenna NOMA. Finally, simulation results validate our theoretical analysis, and show that a substantial performance gain can be obtained over traditional orthogonal multiple access technology under practical conditions.
