Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) systems are an attractive choice to enhance the communication performance by increasing the number of antennas at transmitter and receiver. However, the physical implementation of MIMO systems has several issues such as high cost and high computational complexity for large antenna arrays. Additionally, due to space limitations, huge MIMO systems cannot be implemented in small devices. Hence, antenna selection techniques emerge as a solution to maintain the benefits of MIMO with an affordable trade-off between complexity and implementation cost. Besides, cooperative wireless sensor networks (WSN) may consider virtual MIMO systems. Thus, in this paper, we propose an antenna selection algorithm called Antenna Adaptive Selection of Information (ASSI) for being implemented on WSN. AASI adapts the transmission information according to channel characteristics. Our algorithm achieves affordable results in performance and capacity close to the optimal antenna selection for a specific signal-to-noise ratio with a reduced computational complexity.

This work deals with the problem of distributed resource allocation in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multi-carrier (MC) multiple-access channel (MAC) networks. The assignment between users and subcarriers is allocated together with the users’ transmit powers for energy efficiency maximization, by means of a novel approach which merges the popular Dinkelbach’s algorithm with the frameworks of distributed auction theory and stable matching. Two distributed algorithms are presented, which can be implemented in a fully decentralized way. The former is guaranteed to converge to the global optimum of the system energy efficiency, up to a threshold which can be set in advance, while the latter enjoys weaker optimality properties, but has an even lower computational complexity. Additionally, we develop a novel energy consumption model which explicitly accounts for the energy consumption due to feedback transmissions. Employing this new model, it is shown that the proposed distributed algorithms can even outperform centralized resource allocations which require a larger feedback energy consumption.

A potential way to handle the future requirements of wireless data traffic is the Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna systems. The most effective method to satisfy the demand for wireless data traffic is to enhance the Spectral Efficiency of the existing spectrum since the wireless spectrum is a limited resource. In the MIMO network, cell-free, energy-efficient, and user-centric are considered as most important parameters to achieve effective communication. Therefore, a new energy efficiency optimization scheme is developed in a massive MIMO system to improve the system’s capacity and spectral efficiency. The multi-channel optimization problem is effectively rectified with the help of this newly designed energy efficiency optimization scheme. Here, the “Singular Value Decomposition (SVD)” method is utilized for the implementation of a sub-channel grouping scheme, where the sub-channels are arranged in descending order based on the results attained from SVD. After arranging the sub-channels, the sub-channel grouping is carried out, and then the energy efficiency optimization is provided with the help of Integrated Fruit Fly with Salp Swarm Optimization (IFFSSO). This energy-efficient algorithm improves the system capacity and spectral efficiency. The experimental outcome is revealed through various conventional models to ensure the energy efficiency of the recommended model.
Thesis
Energy consumption has become a major research topic from both environmental and economical perspectives. The telecommunications industry is currently responsible for 0.7% of the total global carbon emissions, a figure which is increasing at rapid rate. By 2020, it is desired that CO2 emissions can be reduced by 50%. Thus, reducing the energy consumption in order to lower carbon emissions and operational expenses has become a major design constraint for future communication systems. Therefore, in this thesis energy efficient resource allocation methods have been studied taking the Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard as an example. Firstly, a theoretical analysis, that shows how improvements in energy efficiency can directly be related with improvements in fairness, is provided using a Shannon theory analysis. The traditional uplink power control challenge is re-evaluated and investigated from the view point of interference mitigation rather than power minimization. Thus, a low complexity distributed resource allocation scheme for reducing the uplink co-channel interference (CCI) is presented. Improvements in energy efficiency are obtained by controlling the level of CCI affecting vulnerable mobile stations (MSs). This is done with a combined scheduler and a two layer power allocation scheme, which is based on non-cooperative game theory. Simulation results show that the proposed low complexity method provides similar performance in terms of fairness and energy efficiency when compared to a centralized signal interference noise ratio balancing scheme. Apart from using interference management techniques, by using efficiently the spare resources in the system such as bandwidth and available infrastructure, the energy expenditure in wireless networks can also be reduced. For example, during low network load periods spare resource blocks (RBs) can be allocated to mobile users for transmission in the uplink. Thereby, the user rate demands are split among its allocated RBs in order to transmit in each of them by using a simpler and more energy efficient modulation scheme. In addition, virtual Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) coalitions can be formed by allowing single antenna MSs and available relay stations to cooperate between each other to obtain power savings by implementing the concepts of spatial multiplexing and spatial diversity. Resource block allocation and virtual MIMO coalition formation are modeled by a game theoretic approach derived from two different concepts of stable marriage with incomplete lists (SMI) and the college admission framework (CAF) respectively. These distributed approaches focus on optimizing the overall consumed power of the single antenna devices rather than on the transmitted power. Moreover, it is shown that when overall power consumption is optimized the energy efficiency of the users experiencing good propagation conditions in the uplink is not always improved by transmitting in more than one RB or by forming a virtual MIMO link. Finally, it is shown that the proposed distributed schemes achieve a similar performance in bits per Joule when compared to much more complex centralized resource allocation methods.
