In this paper, we investigate performance improvements of low-power long-range (LoRa) modulation when a gateway is equipped with multiple antennas. We derive the optimal decision rules for both coherent and non-coherent detections when combining signals received from multiple antennas. To provide insights on how signal combining can benefit LoRa systems, we present expressions of the symbol/bit error probabilities of both the coherent and non-coherent detections in AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels, respectively. Moreover, we also propose an iterative semi-coherent detection that does not require any overhead to estimate the channel-state-information (CSI) while its performance can approach that of the ideal coherent detection. Simulation and analytical results show very large power gains, or coverage extension, provided by the use of multiple antennas for all the detection schemes considered.

In this paper, we reconsider the problem of detecting a matrix-valued rank-one signal in unknown Gaussian noise, which was previously addressed for the case of sufficient training data. We relax the above assumption to the case of limited training da ta. We re-derive the corresponding generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) and two-step GLRT (2S--GLRT) based on certain unitary transformation on the test data. It is shown that the re-derived detectors can work with low sample support. Moreover, in sample-abundant environments the re-derived GLRT is the same as the previously proposed GLRT and the re-derived 2S--GLRT has better detection performance than the previously proposed 2S--GLRT. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the re-derived detectors.
Existing tag signal detection algorithms inevitably suffer from a high bit error rate (BER) due to the difficulties in estimating the channel state information (CSI). To eliminate the requirement of channel estimation and to improve the system perfor mance, in this paper, we adopt a deep transfer learning (DTL) approach to implicitly extract the features of communication channel and directly recover tag symbols. Inspired by the powerful capability of convolutional neural networks (CNN) in exploring the features of data in a matrix form, we design a novel covariance matrix aware neural network (CMNet)-based detection scheme to facilitate DTL for tag signal detection, which consists of offline learning, transfer learning, and online detection. Specifically, a CMNet-based likelihood ratio test (CMNet-LRT) is derived based on the minimum error probability (MEP) criterion. Taking advantage of the outstanding performance of DTL in transferring knowledge with only a few training data, the proposed scheme can adaptively fine-tune the detector for different channel environments to further improve the detection performance. Finally, extensive simulation results demonstrate that the BER performance of the proposed method is comparable to that of the optimal detection method with perfect CSI.
Approximate Symbol error rate (SER), outage probability and rate expressions are derived for receive diversity system employing optimum combining when both the desired and the interfering signals are subjected to Rician fading, for the cases of a) eq ual power uncorrelated interferers b) unequal power interferers c) interferer correlation. The derived expressions are applicable for an arbitrary number of receive antennas and interferers and for any quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) constellation. Furthermore, we derive a simple closed form expression for SER in the interference-limited regime, for the special case of Rayleigh faded interferers. A close match is observed between the SER, outage probability and rate results obtained through the derived analytical expressions and the ones obtained from Monte-Carlo simulations.

In this paper, a framework of beamspace channel estimation in millimeter wave (mmWave) massive MIMO system is proposed. The framework includes the design of hybrid precoding and combining matrix as well as the search method for the largest entry of o ver-sampled beamspace receiving matrix. Then based on the framework, three channel estimation schemes including identity matrix approximation (IA)-based scheme, scattered zero off-diagonal (SZO)-based scheme and concentrated zero off-diagonal (CZO)-based scheme are proposed. These schemes together with the existing channel estimation schemes are compared in terms of computational complexity, estimation error and total time slots for channel training. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes outperform the existing schemes and can approach the performance of the ideal case. In particular, total time slots for channel training can be substantially reduced.
Modulation classification, recognized as the intermediate step between signal detection and demodulation, is widely deployed in several modern wireless communication systems. Although many approaches have been studied in the last decades for identify ing the modulation format of an incoming signal, they often reveal the obstacle of learning radio characteristics for most traditional machine learning algorithms. To overcome this drawback, we propose an accurate modulation classification method by exploiting deep learning for being compatible with constellation diagram. Particularly, a convolutional neural network is developed for proficiently learning the most relevant radio characteristics of gray-scale constellation image. The deep network is specified by multiple processing blocks, where several grouped and asymmetric convolutional layers in each block are organized by a flow-in-flow structure for feature enrichment. These blocks are connected via skip-connection to prevent the vanishing gradient problem while effectively preserving the information identify throughout the network. Regarding several intensive simulations on the constellation image dataset of eight digital modulations, the proposed deep network achieves the remarkable classification accuracy of approximately 87% at 0 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) under a multipath Rayleigh fading channel and further outperforms some state-of-the-art deep models of constellation-based modulation classification.
