Eigenvalue Statistics and Spatial Characteristics in Hotspot Areas Based on Wideband MIMO Channel Measurements
Wideband channel measurements have been performed at 5.25 GHz in hotspot areas in Beijing with a multiple- input multiple-output (MIMO) channel sounder. Based on the measured data in the indoor line-of-sight (LOS) and outdoor LOS/obstructed-line-of-sight (OLOS) scenarios, the frequency- dependent eigenvalues and average eigenvalue statistics are presented in this paper. In the indoor scenario, the probability density functions (PDFS) of the maximum and minimum eigenvalues are well fitted using the normal distribution. In the outdoor scenario, the log-normal distribution is proposed to model the pdfs of these two eigenvalues. As the indicator of spatial selectivity, the empirical cumulative distribution functions (CDFS) of condition number are obtained in two scenarios, indicating that the spatial multiplexing technique is more suitable in indoor LOS scenario than in the outdoor LOS/OLOS scenario. Additionally, the three-dimensional (3D) directional spread is calculated to illustrate the spatial dispersion of the multipath components. These information are of significance for the design and performance evaluation of MIMO communication systems employed in hotspot areas.

A Comparison of Broadcast Strategy in MIMO Relay Networks
In this paper, the sum rate issue of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relay broadcast channel is studied, where the fixed relay station is used to support multiuser transmission in a downlink channel. With appropriate design, the sum rate can be expressed as a function of the processing units at the base station (BS) and relay, and the power allocation can be converted to a standard convex problem. We compared the sum rate of MIMO relay broadcast channel (BC) using time division multiple access (TDMA) to the strongest user, dirty paper coding (DPC) and beamforming (BF) when multiple antennas are deployed at each terminal in the system and separate power constraints at the BS and relay. Then, the sum rate bounds for each strategy and the sum capacity (achieved by DPC) gain over TDMA and BF are given, correspondingly. Finally, numerical results are presented to prove our discussions. With these results, we can easily obtain how far away TDMA and BF are from being optimal in terms of sum rate, and direct the practical system design.

Impact of Randomized Cross-Polarization Discrimination on Channel Correlation Property of the 3GPP Spatial Channel Model
The use of cross-polarized antennas for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems is receiving attention as they are able to double the number of antenna for half antenna spacing needs. This paper presents the channel correlation property of the 3rd Generation Partner Project (3GPP)/3GPP2 spatial channel model (SCM) with the polarization propagation. The statistical average of the per path polarization correlation given random cross-polarization discrimination (XPD) with co-located ideal tilted dipole antennas is derived. The impact on the random behavior of the polarization correlation due to the slant offset angle, the per path angular spread (AS), and the random XPD is analyzed. The simulation results show that the variation of polarization correlation caused by the random XPD is maximized with a 58° slant offset angle under the assumptions of all predefined scenarios in SCM. The per path AS has minor impact on the statistics of the polarization correlations. The randomness of polarization correlation is negligible for an XPD with small standard deviation.

Propagation characteristics of wideband MIMO channel in urban micro- and macrocells
The wideband channel measurements at 580 MHz, 2.35 GHz and 4.90 GHz have been performed in the urban micro- and macrocell scenarios in the cities of China with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel sounder. The measured cases include line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation. Statistical results and comparative analysis for both scenarios are presented in this paper, including path loss (PL), root mean square (rms) delay spread (DS) and maximum excess delay (maxED), and angular spread (AS). In NLOS case, the frequency dependent factor (FDF) is observed as 32.1 by fitting the PL model of 2.35 GHz and 4.90 GHz. Moreover, a larger rms DS in urban microcell and AS at both base station (BS) and mobile subscriber (MS) are found for the denser and higher buildings in the cities of China. As the frequency varying from 580 MHz to 4.90 GHz, the median rms DS is decreased from 330 ns to 130 ns for NLOS case.

A Generic Validation Framework for Wideband MIMO Channel Models
In this paper, a generic framework for validating wideband MIMO channel models based on channel measurement results is proposed. The framework is formulated as a series of continuous functions (metrics) and a definition of distance of continuous function space (degree of approximation). The metrics characterize the MIMO channel from different perspectives, and the distance provides a quantitative measure of the degree of approximation for the specified model. Several fundamental metrics which reflect the spatial multiplexing gain, diversity capability, time and frequency variability, are derived for exploring the frequency-selective fading property. Based on an extensive measurement campaign at 5.25 GHz, the propagation channel is reconstructed by a WINNER-like model. The metrics are calculated from both the model generated channel realizations and the measured impulse response as a demonstration. The proposed framework can be applied to compare different channel models and to evaluate the simplified version of channel models.

An Experimental Investigation of Wideband MIMO Channel Based on Indoor Hotspot NLOS Measurements at 2.35GHz
In this paper, measurement data from wideband multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel measurements at 2.35 GHz are presented. Measurements were preformed in indoor hotspot scenario with no line of sight (NLOS). Space-alternating generalized expectation (SAGE) algorithm was utilized to estimate angular domain parameters and powers of multipath components (MPCs), which are then used to compute the circular angular spread (CAS) and to construct the power azimuth spectrum (PAS) of transmitter and receiver sides. It is found that PASs of both sides follow multi-cluster truncated Laplacian distribution. The spatial correlation, capacity and multiplexing gain are also presented. Due to rich scatters in the indoor hotspot environment, the correlation space is Q.2lambda and the multiplexing gain is 15, which indicate indoor hotspot MIMO channels facilitate multiplexing and could achieve high capacity. The results provide important basis for future channel modeling and technique evaluation.

An EM-Based Time-Domain Channel Estimation Algorithm Using a priori Information
Based on the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm, an iterative time-domain channel estimation approach capable of using a priori information is proposed for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in this letter: it outperforms its noniterative counterpart in terms of estimation accuracy as well as bit error rate (BER) performance. Numerical simulations demonstrate that an SNR gain of 1 dB at BER = 10 -4 with only one iteration and estimation mean square error (MSE) which nearly coincides with the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) in the low SNR region can be obtained, thanks to the efficient use of a priori information.

A Direction to Avoid Re-encryption in Cryptographic File Sharing
Almost all cryptographic file sharing systems need reencryption when the sharing was revoked. These systems differ from each other only in the timing of re-encryption. As re-encryption is an expensive operation, it is significant to avoid re-encryption. The purpose of this paper is to advise a direction to avoid re-encryption and facilitate file sharing in cryptographic file sharing system. A Black-box model is set up to achieve this objective. In the model, FPGA or ASIC chips are used to act as the black-box as they have been extensively researched and applied in cryptography. Some applications of FPGA and ASIC in cryptography are detailed in this paper. Their feasibility to be functioned as the black-box is discussed. Also a software implementation on FPGA is attached with tested and effective performance.

Efficient Relay Beamforming Design With SIC Detection for Dual-Hop MIMO Relay Networks
In this paper, we consider a dual-hop multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) relay wireless network, in which a source-destination pair, which are both equipped with multiple antennas, communicates through a large number of half-duplex amplify-and-forward (AF) relay terminals. Two novel linear beamforming schemes based on the matched filter and regularized zero-forcing precoding techniques are proposed for the MIMO relay system. We focus on the linear process at the relay nodes and design the new relay beamformers by utilizing the channel-state information (CSI) of both backward and forward channels. The proposed beamforming designs are based on the QR decomposition filter at the destination node, which performs successive interference cancellation to achieve the maximum spatial-multiplexing gain. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed beamformers that fulfil both the intranode array gain and distributed array gain outperform other relaying schemes under different system parameters in terms of the ergodic capacity.

A Method Used To Dynamic Scene Management Based On Octree
At present the most important things on scene rendering in computer graphics are fidelity and efficiency. In order to achieve these goals, a considerable number of applications require a data structure like a tree to manage the entire scene. Searching the scene means to traversal the tree and moving objects in the scene means to recreate the tree, which are very costly but unavoidable process. In this paper, we establish an octree for managing the whole scene and encode the nodes in the tree. Through a simple process of calculation from one node's code, we can get this node's adjacent nodes' code. With the orderly structure of the octree, we have obtained the target that is searching the nodes in the octree and recreating part of the octree efficiently.
