We study cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output precoders that minimize the power consumed by the power amplifiers subject to per-user per-subcarrier rate constraints. The power at each antenna is generally retrieved by solving a fixed-point equation that depends on the instantaneous chann…
The problem of estimating the distance between two covariance matrices is considered. A general estimator is provided for a class of metrics, the estimator of which has never been addressed before in the literature. This corresponds to distances that can be expressed as sums of traces of functions t…
A methodology to cluster multiple sets of Gaussian multivariate complex observations based on the alignment of their column spaces is presented. These subspaces are identified with points in the Grassmann manifold and compared according to a similarity measure drawn from a chosen manifold distance,…
In this paper, the outlier production mechanism of the G-MUSIC Direction-of-Arrival estimation technique is investigated using tools from Random Matrix Theory. The G-MUSIC Direction-of-Arrival estimation technique is an improved version of the conventional MUSIC method that provides superior perform…
The Partial Relaxation approach has recently been proposed to solve the Direction-of-Arrival estimation problem [1], [2]. In this paper, we investigate the outlier production mechanism of the Partially Relaxed Deterministic Maximum Likelihood (PR-DML) Direction-of-Arrival estimator using tools from…
In this paper, a simple equalization strategy for OFDM waveforms is proposed that specifically targets the case where the cyclic prefix is insufficient to span the whole channel duration. The proposed architecture can be very efficiently implemented in the frequency domain without the need for compl…
In this paper, we address the problem of detection, in the frequency domain, of a M-dimensional time series modeled as the output of a M × K MIMO filter driven by a K-dimensional Gaussian white noise, and disturbed by an additive M-dimensional Gaussian colored noise. We consider the study of test st…
An underdetermined multi-measurement vector linear regression problem is considered where the parameter matrix is row-sparse and where an additional constraint fixes the number of nonzero elements in the active rows. Even if this additional constraint offers side structure information that could be…
Offset-QAM-based filterbank multicarrier (FBMC-OQAM) modulations are known to progressively loose their orthogonality as the channel gets more selective in time and frequency. The effect of channel frequency selectivity on FBMC-OQAM systems has been extensively studied in the literature. Many compen…
This paper investigates the optimal design of precoders or decoders under a channel inversion criterion for multi-user (MU) MIMO filterbank multicarrier (FBMC) modulations. The base station (BS) is assumed to use a single tap precoding/decoding matrix at each subcarrier in the downlink/uplink, resul…
Scattered pilot-aided channel estimation in offset QAM-based filter bank multicarrier (FBMC/OQAM) systems has so far been only considered for channels of mild frequency selectivity. In more demanding scenarios, the classical auxiliary pilot (AP) idea has been shown to result in severe error floors.…
This paper addresses the statistical performance of subspace DoA estimation using a sensor array, in the asymptotic regime where the number of samples and sensors both converge to infinity at the same rate. Improved subspace DoA estimators were derived (termed as G-MUSIC) in previous works, and were…
Correlation tests of multiple Gaussian signals are typically formulated as linear spectral statistics on the eigenvalues of the sample coherence matrix. This is the case of the Generalized Likelihood Ratio Test (GLRT), which is formulated as the determinant of the sample coherence matrix, or the loc…
