Abstract In this paper, we analyze asymptotic ergodic capacity of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying systems with channel state information (CSI) at the relay. By exploiting the asymptotic results for eigenvalue distributions, we derive the ergodic capacity in various asymptotic antenna regimes as a closed-form expression with arbitrary system parameters.
Impact of Transceiver Impairments on the Capacity of Dual-Hop Relay Massive MIMO Systems
2015 IEEE Globecom Workshops (GC Wkshps), 2015
Despite the deleterious effect of hardware impairments on communication systems, most prior works have not investigated their impact on widely used relay systems. Most importantly, the application of inexpensive transceivers, being prone to hardware impairments, is the most cost-efficient way for the implementation of massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. Consequently, the direction of this paper is towards the investigation of the impact of hardware impairments on MIMO relay networks with large number of antennas. Specifically, we obtain the general expression for the ergodic capacity of dual-hop (DH) amplify-and-forward (AF) relay systems. Next, given the advantages of the free probability (FP) theory with comparison to other known techniques in the area of large random matrix theory, we pursue a large limit analysis in terms of number of antennas and users by shedding light to the behavior of relay systems inflicted by hardware impairments.

Abstract In this letter, we analyze asymptotic ergodic capacity of MIMO amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying systems which employ linear processing at the relay. By exploiting the asymptotic results for eigenvalue distributions, we derive the ergodic capacity in various asymptotic antenna regimes as a closed-form expression with arbitrary system parameters.
Capacity analysis for MIMO two-hop two-relay amplify-and-forward relaying systems
2008
This paper presents an ergodic capacity analysis of an amplify-and-forward (AF) multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) two-hop, two relay system. We first derive an expression for the probability density function of an arbitrary eigenvalue of the system. Then, using this result, a closed form expression for the ergodic capacity of the system is derived. We present simulation results to validate our analysis. We also show that the results for a single relay system can be obtained as a special case.
Ergodic Capacity Analysis of MIMO Relay Network over Rayleigh-Rician Channels
IEEE Communications Letters, 2015
We present an analytical characterization of the ergodic capacity for an amplify-and-forward (AF) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relay network over asymmetric channels. In the two-hop system that we consider, the source-relay and relay-destination channels undergo Rayleigh and Rician fading, respectively. Considering arbitrary-rank means for the relaydestination channel, we first investigate the marginal distribution of an unordered eigenvalue of the cascaded AF channel, and we provide an analytical expression for the ergodic capacity of the system. The closed-form expressions that we derive are computationally efficient and validated by numerical simulation. Our results also show the impact of the signal-to-noise ratio and of the Rician factor on this asymmetric relay network.
Asymptotic Performance Analysis of a K-Hop Amplify-and-Forward Relay MIMO Channel
IEEE Transactions on Information Theory
The present paper studies the asymptotic performance of multi-hop amplify-and-forward relay multiple-antenna communication channels. Each multi-antenna terminal in the network amplifies the received signal, sent by a source, and retransmits it upstream towards a destination. Achievable ergodic rates under both jointly optimal detection and decoding and practical separate decoding schemes for arbitrary signaling schemes, along with the average bit error rate for various receiver structures are derived in the regime where the number of antennas at each terminal grows large without a bound. To overcome the difficulty of averaging over channel realizations we apply large-system analysis based on the replica method from statistical physics. The validity of the large-system analysis is further verified through Monte Carlo simulations of realistic finite-sized systems.
Exact ergodic capacity of MIMO OSTBC amplify-and-forward relay network with antenna correlation
2013 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC), 2013
Antenna correlation is usually viewed as a detrimental effect in a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system. This paper investigates how this affects the performance of an amplify-and-forward (AF) relay network. We consider multiple antennas at all nodes with a general correlation matrix structure having an arbitrary eigenvalue distribution. We derive exact closed form expression for the ergodic capacity and simplify to special case of distinct eigenvalues. Further, we investigate the system in high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and derive a simple asymptotic expression. Our results provide a comprehensive analysis and useful insight about the ergodic capacity of the system.
Asymptotic Properties of Dual-Hop AF Relay MIMO Communication Systems
Proc. ISIT 2014, Honolulu, Hawaii, U.S.A.
The present paper studies the asymptotic performance of dual-hop amplify-and-forward multiple-input multiple-output relay communication systems. In the corresponding setup, a relay amplifies the signal received from a source, retransmitting it towards a destination, while the direct source-destination link is absent. Ergodic achievable rates under separate decoding, along with the average bit error rate under various detection schemes are derived in the regime where the number of antennas at each terminal grows without bound. To overcome the mathematical difficulty of averaging over both channel realizations and input signals we apply large-system analysis based on the replica method from statistical physics. The validity of the large-system analysis is further verified through Monte Carlo simulations, providing particularly good accuracy at low SNR.

We explore a full-duplex technique in wireless communication particularly for relay networks. We consider the relay to operate in full-duplex, which occurs when transmission and reception are conducted in the same channel. We investigate potential benefits of full-duplex technique in relay networks, which uses multiple antennas for transmission and reception combined with the Amplify-Forward (AF) scenario. We study the effects of multiple antennas in terms of relay capacity. We derive an ergodic capacity expression using the Tracy-Widom distribution. Using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and perfect Channel State Information (CSI), we investigate these three scenarios: First, we consider the relay to have an antenna larger than that of both source and destination. Second, we consider both relay and destination to have an antenna larger than that of the source. Third, we consider both relay and source to have antenna larger than that of the destination. We show the results that the capacity of the relay with a fullduplex technique is almost twice the capacity of an half-duplex. We show that increasing the number of destination antennas is not help much when one of the source antennas is small. Moreover, the capacity decreases due to a channel hardening effect, when the number of destination antennas is larger than that of the source.
On the capacity of MIMO relay channels
IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2005
We study the capacity of multiple-input multipleoutput (MIMO) relay channels. We first consider the Gaussian MIMO relay channel with fixed channel conditions, and derive upper bounds and lower bounds that can be obtained numerically by convex programming. We present algorithms to compute the bounds. Next, we generalize the study to the Rayleigh fading case. We find an upper bound and a lower bound on the ergodic capacity. It is somewhat surprising that the upper bound can meet the lower bound under certain regularity conditions (not necessarily degradedness), and therefore the capacity can be characterized exactly; previously this has been proven only for the degraded Gaussian relay channel. We investigate sufficient conditions for achieving the ergodic capacity; and in particular, for the case where all nodes have the same number of antennas, the capacity can be achieved under certain signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions. Numerical results are also provided to illustrate the bounds on the ergodic capacity of the MIMO relay channel over Rayleigh fading. Finally, we present a potential application of the MIMO relay channel for cooperative communications in ad hoc networks.
