Two of the most prominent techniques to meet the next generation wireless communication system's demands are cognitive radio and massive MIMO systems. Cognitive radio systems improve radio spectrum utilization either by spectrum sharing or by opportunistically utilizing the spectrum of the licensed users. Employing multiple antennas at the transmitter and/or the receiver of the radio can further improve the overall performance of the wireless systems. Massive MIMO systems, on the other hand, improve the spectral and energy efficiencies of currently deployed systems by reaping all the benefits of the multi-antenna systems at a very large scale. The price paid for employing a large number of antennas either at the transmitter or receiver is the high hardware cost. Judicious transmit or receive antenna selection can reduce this cost, while retaining most of the benefits offered by multiple antennas.In my doctoral research, we have presented both upper and lower bounds on the capacity of a general selection diversity system. These novel bounds are simple to compute and can be used in a variety of different fading environments. We have also proposed and analyzed the performance of different antenna selection schemes for both an underlay cognitive radio and a massive MIMO system. Specifically, we have considered both receive and transmit antenna selection in an underlay cognitive radio based on the maximization of secondary link signal-to-interference plus noise ratio. Exact and asymptotic performance analyses of the secondary system with such selections are carried out, and numerical examples are presented to verify the correctness of the analytical results. Several sub-optimal antenna subset selection schemes for both a single-cell and a multi-cell multi-user massive MIMO system are also proposed. Numerical results on the sum rate of the system in different scenarios are presented to verify the superior performance of the proposed schemes over the existing sub-optimal antenna subset selection schemes. Lastly, we have also presented three novel hybrid analog/digital precoding schemes to reduce the hardware and software complexities of a sub-connected massive MIMO system.

Next generation wireless systems will use multiple antenna technologies, also known as multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), to provide high data rates and robustness against fading. MIMO communication strategies for single user communication systems and their practical application in wireless networks are by now well known. MIMO communication systems, however, can benefit from multiuser processing by coordinating the transmissions to multiple users simultaneously. For numerous reasons, work on the theory of multiuser MIMO communication has yet to see broad adoption in wireless communication standards. For example, global knowledge of channel state information is often required. Such an unrealistic assumption, however, makes it difficult in practice to implement precoding techniques. Furthermore, the achievable rates of the conventional multiuser MIMO techniques are far from the theoretical performance bounds. These and other factors motivate research on practical multiuser communication strategies for the MIMO broadcast channel (point to multi-point communication) and the analysis of those strategies. The primary contributions of this dissertation are i) the development of four novel low complexity coordinated MIMO transceiver design techniques to approach the theoretical performance bound and ii) the investigation of the optimality of the proposed coordinated wireless MIMO networks. Several coordinated beamforming algorithms are proposed, where each mobile station uses quantized combining vectors or each base station uses limited feedback from the MS. The asymptotic optimality of the proposed coordinated beamforming system for the MIMO Gaussian broadcast channel is next investigated. For multi-stream transmission, a novel block diagonalized vector perturbation is proposed and the achievable sum rate upper bound of the proposed system is derived. Finally, for multi-cell environments, linear and non-linear network CBF algorithms supporting multiple cell-boundary users are proposed. The optimality of network coordinated beamforming in terms of the number of receive antennas is also investigated.

Multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO), which transmits multiple data streams via multiple antenna elements, is one of the most attractive technologies in the wireless communication field. Its extension, called ‘massive MIMO’ or ‘large-scale MIMO’, in which base station has over one hundred of the antenna elements, is now seen as a promising candidate to realize 5G and beyond, as well as 6G mobile communications. It has been the first decade since its fundamental concept emerged. This Special Issue consists of 19 papers and each of them focuses on a popular topic related to massive MIMO systems, e.g. analog/digital hybrid signal processing, antenna fabrication, and machine learning incorporation. These achievements could boost its realization and deepen the academic and industrial knowledge of this field.

Multi-antenna techniques are widely considered to be the most promising avenue for significantly increasing the bandwidth efficiency of wireless data transmission systems. In so called MIMO (multiple input multiple output) systems, multiple antennas are deployed both at the transmitter and the receiver. In MISO (multiple input single output) systems, the receiver has only one antenna, and the multiple transmit antennas are used for transmit diversity. The key aspects of multiple antenna transceiver techniques for evolving 3G systems and beyond are presented. MIMO and MISO (transmit diversity) techniques are explained in a common setting. In particular, the book covers linear processing transmit diversity methods with and without side information at the transmitter (feedback), including the current transmit diversity concepts in the WCDMA standards, as well as promising MIMO concepts, crucial for future high data rate systems. As an example, MIMO and MISO aspects of 3GPP HSDPA (high speed downlink packet access) will be considered. Furthermore, examples of high throughput, low complexity space-time codes will be provided, when signalling without side information (open loop concepts). The theory of linear space-time block codes will be developed, and optimal non-orthogonal high throughput codes will be constructed, both for MIMO and MISO systems. Performance may be further improved by feedback from receiver to transmitter. The corresponding closed loop modes in the current 3GPP specifications will be discussed, along with their extensions for more than two transmit antennas. In addition, feedback signalling for MIMO channels will be addressed. Optimal quantisation methods of the feedback messages will be discussed. Finally, hybrid schemes are constructed, where the amount of feedback is reduced using partly open, partly closed loop signalling. * Provides a concise and up-to-date description of perhaps the most active area of research in wireless communications * Unique in presenting recent developments in both WCDMA and MIMO * MIMO and MISO techniques are explained in a common setting * Special emphasis is placed on combining theoretical understanding with engineering applicability For Research engineers in academia and industry, and development engineers in 3G system design as well as research students.

Transmission and Reception with Multiple Antennas: Theoretical Foundations presents a comprehensive, yet compact, survey, emphasizing the mathematical aspects of single-user multiple-antenna theory. Wireless communication system design was until recently thought to have been limited in practice by time and bandwidth. The discovery that space, obtained by increasing the number of transmit and receive antennas, can also effectively generate degrees of freedom, and hence expand the range of choices made available to the design offers system designers important new opportunities. Transmission and Reception with Multiple Antennas: Theoretical Foundations describes the channel models deployed in such systems shows how to compute the capacities achieved, overviews "space-time" codes and describes how suboptimum architectures can be employed to simplify the receiver. It provides an excellent overview for designers, students and researchers working at the forefront of wireless communication systems.

Taking a coherent and logical approach, this book describes the potential use of co-ordinated multipoint systems supported by radio over fiber. It covers an impressive breadth of topics, ranging from components, subsystem and system architecture, to network management and business perspectives. The authors show the importance of radio over fiber in eliminating or mitigating against the current, perceived barriers to the use of co-ordinated multipoint, and the drivers for standardisation activities in future mobile/wireless systems over the next few years. The book brings together the system concept for centralized processing, including what is required for co-existence with legacy wireless systems, the algorithms that can be used for improving wireless bandwidth utilization at physical and MAC layers and the radio over fiber network and link design necessary to support the wireless system. Other important research is also covered as the authors look at compensating for radio over fiber impairments and providing simple network management functions. A study of service provision and the business case for such a future wireless system is also fully considered. This book comes at an important time for future wireless systems with standardization of fourth generation wireless systems still ongoing. The content enables readers to make key decisions about future standardisation and their own research work. The business analysis also makes the book useful to those involved in deciding the future directions of telecoms organisations. This information will be core to their decision-making as it provides technical knowledge of the state-of-the-art but also system level assessments of what is possible in a business environment.

In order to satisfy the huge demand for high data rates and improved link quality wireless communication systems, new techniques are required, which can exploit the limited resources: bandwidth and power. MIMO wireless technology employing multiple antennas at the transmitter and/or at the receiver is an efficient solution for next generation communication systems because it can produce potential capacity gains over SISO systems using the same bandwidth and transmit power. In order to approach the capacity of MIMO systems, space-time block code (STBC) is one of space-time coding strategies that improves transmission reliability by means of transmit diversity. It has been demonstrated that the complex full-rate, orthogonal STBC, offering full diversity, is only limited to the case of two transmit antennas. For more than two transmit antennas, various non-orthogonal STBCs have been proposed to achieve a high rate at the expense of loosing diversity gains and increasing the decoding complexity. This work presented focus on designing limited feedback schemes for four transmit-antenna NO-STBC to achieve more diversity gains. Assuming that only partial channel state information is available at the transmitter, two types of closed-loop NO-STBCs using two feedback bits are studied under different channel conditions: closed-loop quasi-orthogonal STBC and closed-loop extended-orthogonal STBC. Moreover, low-complexity Turbo receivers are respectively designed for these two CL-NO-STBCs in BICM systems. Simulation results show that with iterative processing between the MIMO decoder and the channel decoder, significant coding gains can be achieved.
