Distributed Space-Time Block Codes for the MIMO Multiple Access Channel
Distrib uted Space-T ime Block Codes for the MIMO Multiple Access Channel Maya Badr E.N.S.T . 46, rue Barrault 75013 Paris, France Email: mbadr@enst.fr Jean-Claud e Belfiore E.N.S.T . 46, rue Barrault 75013 Paris, France Email: belfiore@e nst.fr Abstract — In this work, the Multip le transmit antenn as Mu l- tiple Access Channel i s considered. A construction of a family of distributed space-time codes fo r th is channel is proposed. No Channel S ide Information at th e transmitters is assumed and users are not allowed to cooperate together . It is shown that th e proposed code achiev es the Div ersity Multi plexing T radeoff of th e channel. As an example, we consider the two-user MIMO-MAC channel. Simulation results show the significant gain offered b y the new coding scheme compared to an orthogonal transmission scheme, e.g. time sharing. I . I N T R O D U C T I O N Multiantenn a Multiple Acce ss Chann el (MIMO-MAC) has recently received a great interest but o ptimal and practical design of spac e-time codes fo r this channel is still missing. After intr oducing the div ersity-multiplexing trad eoff (DMT ) of a M IMO chann el in [1], Tse et al. introduc ed the DMT of the MAC in [2]. It is a fun damental limit of the channel at high SNR that c an be used to ev aluate the perform ance of different transmission schemes. Still in [2], they proved th at this DMT is achiev ab le for sufficiently long codes b y considering a family of Gaussian ran dom cod es. Howe ver , these Gaussian codes don’t have any struc ture which makes their efficient encod ing and decoding impractical. Nam and El Gama l p ropo sed in [3], a class of structur ed multiple access lattice space-time codes. They proved that their scheme, based on lattice decoding , ach iev es the optimal DMT of the MA C but they did not give any constru ctiv e example. This fact lets us think that, as it was the case for the MI MO channel [5], the constru ction of such lattice codes for the MAC should use large alphab ets with prime cardinality . In [6], Gär tner and Bölcskei presen ted a detailed anal- ysis of the MAC based on the d ifferent erro r type s that can be encoun tered in th is channel (see [ 9]). They derived a space-time cod e d esign criterio n for multianten na MA Cs and presen ted a struc tured coding scheme of length 4 for 2 transmit users with two transmit and two receive an tennas. This code results from a simple concatenation of two Alamouti codewords with a column s swapping for one user’ s codeword offering a minimum ran k of three. T his cod e highligh ts th e importan ce of the joint co de de sign in th e MAC, but does not achieve the outag e DMT o f the channel. Gärtner and Bölcskei further developped their work and presen ted in [7] important results motiv ating th e construction o f sp ace-time codes for th e MIMO-MAC. Th ey showed that their co de design criter ia ar e optimal with resp ect to the DMT of the chann el and proved that, for a MIMO- MA C, outa ge analysis allows a rigor ous characterizatio n of the domin ant er ror event regions. In other words, outage and error pro babilities hav e the same behaviors at high SNR . This fundamen tal result will be of a ma jor importan ce in o ur work . In this paper, we present a construction of a family of distributed space-time c odes for the MIMO-MA C with n o Channel Side Inf ormation at the tr ansmitters (n o CSIT) based on the fund amental results in [7]. By analy zing th e d ifferent regimes of the DMT of the MIMO-MAC, we show that the new code s achieve the o utage DMT of th e c hannel. Num erical results fin ally show that the prop osed codes ou tperfor m the time sharing scheme and that the error p robab ilities of such codes mimic the outage proba bility behavior o f the MIMO- MA C chan nel. In th e sequel, we first presen t a general co des construction , i.e. for the ( K , n t , n r ) MIMO-M A C. Then, as a detailed example, we consider the two-user MA C case w ith n t = 2 . I I .

C N represents th e complex Ga ussian rando m vari- able. [.] ⊤ ( r esp. [.] † ) denotes the m atrix transposition ( r e sp. conjuga ted tr ansposition) operation . W e consid er a K -user m ultiple-access ch annel with n t transmit antennas per user and n r receive antennas. W e assum e that the channel matrices have i.i.d. zer o-mean Gaussian entries, i.e. , h i,j ∼ C N (0 , 1) . W e denote T the tem poral codeleng th of the con sidered distributed space-time c ode C . Let X i be a ( n t × T ) matrix d enoting the codeword of user i w ith norm alized power , ind epende nt of codewords of the other users since we assume no c oopera tion between u sers. The r eceived signal is Y ( n r × T ) = K X i =1 H ( n r × n t ) i X ( n t × T ) i + W ( n r × T ) (1) where super scripts denote matr ices dimensions. W is the additive wh ite Gaussian noise matrix with i.i.d. Gaussian unit variance entries, i.e. , W ∼ C N (0 , 1) . B. Dive rsity-Multiple xin g tradeoff interpretation The diversity-multiplexing trad eoff (DMT) of multip le ac - cess channels was intr oduced and fu lly characterized in [ 2]. A scheme C ( SNR ) is said to ac hieve multiplexing gain r and div ersity ga in d if lim SNR →∞ R ( SNR ) log SNR = r and lim SNR →∞ log P e ( SNR ) log SNR = − d where R ( SNR ) and P e ( SNR ) den ote respectiv ely the d ata rate as a function of SNR , measured in bits pe r channel use (BPCU), and the block err or probab ility . Tse et al. gave in [2] the optimal achiev ab le tradeoff d ⋆ ( r ) of the MA C channel which co rrespon ds to the SNR exponent o f th e o utage probab ility . The network is assumed to be symmetric , i.e. , the diversity order s and the multiplexing gain s per user are identical ( r an d d ). T he authors d istinguished two load ing regimes: th e lightly lo aded regime, i.e. r ≤ min( n t , n r K +1 ) , and the heavily loaded regime, i.e. r ≥ min( n t , n r K +1 ) . In the first regime, single-user p erforma nce is a chieved, in other words, th e pr esence of other users doe s not influence th e channel perform ance, whereas in the second on e, the system is equivalent to a MIMO system as if the K users pooled up their transmit antennas together . Th e global DMT is shown to be the minimum DMT between these two regimes, that is, the largest achiev ab le symm etric diversity gain for fixed symmetric multiplexing gain, d ∗ sym ( r ) = min k =1 ,...,K d ∗ kn t ,n r ( k r ) (2) W e have the following result 1 illustrated in figure 1 d ∗ sym ( r ) =  d ∗ n t ,n r ( r ) , r ≤ min ( n t , n r K +1 ) d ∗ K n t ,n r ( K r ) , r ≥ min( n t , n r K +1 ) (3) It is noteworthy , tho ugh, that while for n r ≥ ( K + 1) n t the use of a cod e design ed for the sing le-user MIMO chan nel is optimal, a jointly designed code will be of ma jor impor tance in the case o f n r ≤ ( K + 1) n t . I n fact, depen ding o n the number of receive antennas, the anten na poo ling r egime may or may not exist: if n r ≥ ( K + 1) n t , single-user perfor mance is achieved for all r and op timal space-time codes designed for the sin gle-user M IMO chan nel ach iev e the ou tage DMT , e lse, both the single user regime and the antenna pooling regime occur and should b e taken into accou nt in the code design. C. Code design criteria Gärtner and Bölcskei [6], [7] used an error event an alysis, which was first introd uced by Gallager in [9 ], to establish the spa ce-time cod e d esign criteria for th e MAC. Such an approa ch c onsists in defining different error events, say event 1 In the sequel , d ∗ n t ,n r ( r ) denotes the outage DMT of a n t × n r MIMO Raylei gh point-to-po int channe l.

Different error regions ar e d efined b ased o n the user s’ tran smission rate. Rate regions where single-user err or events domin ate can b e treated by using well k nown s pace-time code s designed for the sing le- user case. Howe ver , the rate regions where the event of mo re than o ne user being in error d ominates, req uire a joint code design. It is interesting to recall the following result presented in [6]: increasing the nu mber of receive antennas results in a reduction of the size of th e region where all users ar e in error a nd thus, decreases th e importanc e o f th e joint co de design. In terestingly , this result confirms the p revious DMT interpretatio n. The code design criteria that we use are deri ved in [6], based on the domin ant err or regions, using a refined upp er bou nded expression of the pairwise erro r probab ility (PEP) and can be stated as f ollows 1) Ran k criterion : For every codeword pair ( X k , Y k ) with X k 6 = Y k the rank o f the co rrespon ding c odeword difference matrix sha ll b e maximized . 2) Eigenvalue c riterion : For e very codew o rd pair ( X k , Y k ) with X k 6 = Y k the product of the nonzer o eigen values o f the c orrespo nding c odeword difference matrix sha ll b e maximized . Authors fu rther showed that their space- time code design criteria a re optimal with respect to the entire DMT and conclud ed that, a r igorou s charac terization of the dom inant error event regions can be o btained b y analy sing the outage- DMT of the MAC.

W e construct a new family of spa ce-time codes for this chann el fo llowing the sam e footsteps as the construction of pe rfect space-time co des for p arallel MIMO ch annels in 2 Event i mea ns i users in error [8]. W e assum e that the m odulatio n used by both users is a quadra ture amplitude m odulation (QAM). 3 Code construction Let F be a Galo is extension o f degree K on Q ( i ) with Galois group Gal( F / Q ( i )) = { τ 1 , τ 2 , . . . , τ K } . W e den ote K a cyclic extension of degree n t on F and σ the generato r of its Galois g roup, Gal( K / F ) . Let η be in F such that η , η 2 , . . . , η n t − 1 are not nor ms in K . A cyclic d ivision algebra of degree n t is constructed , A = ( K / F , σ, η ) . T o remind the mo st relev ant c oncepts about cyclic algebra s and how to use them to build space-time block co des, we let the reader refer to [ 12]. W e deno te Ξ the matrix repre sentation of elemen ts o f A wh ich is a n t × n t matrix and we construc t codewords as fo llows X k =  τ 1 ( Ξ k ) τ 2 ( Ξ k ) . . . τ K ( Ξ k )  (4) Each user sends its informatio n by transmitting a matrix of the same type as in (4), say X k for user k . The equiv alent joint codeword ma trix can be wr itten as X =      X 1 X 2 . . . X K      (5) Such a code u ses K.n 2 t informa tion sym bols per user . In order to check the ra nk design cr iterion g iv en in [6], we need to insert in eq. ( 4) a car efully cho sen matr ix Γ so that the transmitted codeword of (5) b e of full rank. W e propose the new code C ( K,n t , Γ ) where each u ser codeword is X k =  Γ τ 1 ( Ξ k ) Γ τ 2 ( Ξ k ) . . . τ K ( Ξ k )  (6) where Γ is a m ultiplication m atrix factor for the k − 1 first matrices of X k . W e choose Γ ∈ A with entr ies in Q ( i ) and such that det( X ) 6 = 0 for all Ξ k 6 = 0 . With such a code , we c an state, Theor em 1: C ( K,n t , Γ ) achieves th e outage DMT of the MIMO-MAC Pr oof: W e give here a sketch of proof, details are omitted for lenght constraint. The id ea is to p rove that by scalin g the size of the underlying QAM co nstellations by a factor of SNR r , the exponen t of SNR in the asymp totic expression of th e error varies as the op timal DMT . If only o ne user , say k , is in e rror the r eceiver can cancel signals it receives f rom the other K − 1 users and the system is equiv alen t to a single-user n t × n r MIMO system. In this case, the transmitted codeword X k is given in (6). T he cod e is equiv a lent to we ll-known co des constructed on cyclic di vision algebras and thus is D MT ach ieving, [13]. If all user s are in err or, the system is eq uiv alen t to an K n t × n r MIMO channel and the transmitted codewords are giv e n 3 General izati on to he xagonal (HEX) modulati on is strai ghtforw ard. in (5). In order to p reserve the shaping of th e cod e, matrix Γ should be unitary . T he DMT achiev ability is guar anteed by the carefull ch oice of Γ . For example, we can choo se Γ = γ I n t where γ is a tran scendantal n umber . In that case, the determinan t o f a codeword, wh ich is a poly nomial f unction of γ with coefficients in K , is non zero. As it is pr oven in [7], this result is sufficient to prove the outage DMT ach iev ability . I V . A N E X A M P L E : K = 2 , n t = 2 A. Op timal DMT As a n examp le, we consider a two-user MA C with two transmit antennas per user and three rece iv e antennas, i.e. , n t = 2 a nd n r = 3 . Based on (2), we can write the optimal DMT in th is scen ario as fo llows d ⋆ ( r ) = min  d ∗ 2 , 3 ( r ) , d ∗ 4 , 3 (2 r )  (8) This o utage-DMT is illustrated in figure 2 .

DMT of the ( K = 2 , n t = 2 , n r = 3) MA C Our g oal is to design distributed space-time codes for this channel tha t are op timal in the sense of the DMT . In other words, the err or prob ability of the p roposed scheme sho uld behave asymptotically as the outage probability of the channel. B. Cod e co nstruction For th e two-u ser MAC with n t = 2 , w e propose the f ollow- ing code. Each user’ s codeword is an 2 × 2 m atrix constructed as f ollows. Let F = Q ( ζ 8 ) b e an extension of Q ( i ) of d egree K = 2 , with ζ 8 = e iπ 4 and K = F ( √ 5) = Q ( ζ 8 , √ 5) . As explained in [8], su ch a design lead s to construct the Golden code [ 11] on the base field Q ( ζ 8 ) instead of the base field Q ( i ) . η = ζ 8 has been pr oven in [8] no t to be a norm, which guaran tees that Ξ k has a non zer o de terminant. Let θ = 1+ √ 5 2 , σ : θ 7→ ¯ θ = 1 − √ 5 2 and the ring of in tegers of K O K = { a + bθ | a, b ∈ Z [ ζ 8 ] } . Le t α = 1 + i − iθ and ¯ α = 1 + i − i ¯ θ . U ser’ s k co dew ord X k is X k =  Ξ k τ ( Ξ k )  (9) Ξ k = 1 √ 5  α. ( s k, 1 + s k, 2 ζ 8 + s k, 3 θ + s k, 4 ζ 8 θ ) α. ( s k, 5 + s k, 6 ζ 8 + s k, 7 θ + s k, 8 ζ 8 θ ) ζ 8 ¯ α. ( s k, 5 + s k, 6 ζ 8 + s k, 7 ¯ θ + s k, 8 ζ 8 ¯ θ ) ¯ α. ( s k, 1 + s k, 2 ζ 8 + s k, 3 ¯ θ + s k, 4 ζ 8 ¯ θ )  (7) where τ chan ges ζ 8 into − ζ 8 and Ξ k defined in ( 7) with s kj denoting the j th QAM inf ormation symbol o f user i . Finally , we get the eq uiv alen t codeword matr ix of C (2 , 2 , Γ ) X =  Ξ 1 τ ( Ξ 1 ) ΓΞ 2 τ ( Ξ 2 )  (10) with Γ =  0 1 i 0  . (11) Theor em 2: C (2 , 2 , Γ ) achieves the outag e DMT of the K = 2 , n t = 2 , n r MIMO MAC chann el. Pr oof: (sketch) If on e of the u sers (say user 2 ) is n ot in error, then the receiv e r can cancel the signal it receives from this u ser and the system is equ iv alent to a single-u ser 2 × n r MIMO system. User 1 transmits X 1 giv en in (9 ) which is simply obtain ed by rotating Ξ 1 , hence, it is equivalent to the Golden Co de which is known to be a DMT a chiev ab le space- time block cod e fo r n t = 2 transmit an tennas and n r ≥ 2 receive an tennas [11]. If both user s are in er ror, the system is eq uiv alen t to a 4 × n r MIMO chann el and the transmitted codewords are given in (10). De terminant o f these co dew ords is det X = det  τ ( Ξ 2 ) − ΓΞ 2 Ξ − 1 1 τ ( Ξ 1 )  det Ξ 1 Since τ ( Ξ 2 ) − ΓΞ 2 Ξ − 1 1 τ ( Ξ 1 ) is in a division algebra, we get det X = 0 iff τ ( Ξ 2 ) − ΓΞ 2 Ξ − 1 1 τ ( Ξ 1 ) = 0 which giv es Γ Θ = τ (Θ) (12) for som e Θ = Ξ 2 Ξ − 1 1 ∈ A . One solutio n that does no t verify equation (12) is to choose Γ to be a tran scendantal scalar as we explained in the general case. But we can easily check that eq . (12) is also no t verified for Γ given in eq. (11). This con dition is sufficient for ou r code to achieve the DMT [7]. V . S I M U L AT I O N S In this section, we p rovide numerical re sults ob tained by Monte-Carlo sim ulations. W e assume that the p ower is allo- cated e qually am ong all the users so that no a-pr iori advantage is g iv en to any transmitter-receiver link over another one. W e first pr esent th e outage perform ance of th e considered channel. The perf ormance o f the propo sed cod ing scheme is then measured by the word error rate (WER) vs receiv e d SN R and co mpared to the time sh aring schem e where th e chan nel is shared amo ng th e users in an or thogon al multiple-acce ss manner . A. Dec oding A lgorithm At the recei ver side, we u se a m inimum mean-square error decision feedback equalizer MMSE-DFE prepro cessing combined with lattice d ecoding as a way to tackle the pr oblem of the r ank deficiency resulting fro m n r being smaller th an K × n t . In [4], it is shown that an appr opriate combinatio n of left, right pre processing and lattice d ecoding , yields sign ificant sa ving in complexity with very small degredation with respect to the ML pe rforma nce. Mo re p recisely , left prep rocessing modifies the chann el m atrix an d the noise vector such th at the resulting closest lattice po int search has a mu ch better condition ed chann el matrix. Moreover , right prepro cessing is used to change th e lattice ba sis such that it become s mo re conv enient for th e search ing stage. B. Nume rical r esults W e consider th e two-user two-transmit an tennas MAC with n r = 3 receiv e anten nas. Outage performa nces for different spectral ef ficiencies are first illustrated in Figures 3 and 5 (4-BPCU and 8-BPCU, respecti vely). Coded schemes per- forman ces are shown in Figur es 4 and 6. Com pared to the time sh aring scheme , the prop osed c ode ach ieves the same div ersity order , 6, but of f ers a significant per forman ce gain that depend s on the spectral efficiency , R . In o rder to highlight this depend ence on R , user s info rmation sym bols are carved fro m different QAM con stellations, e.g. 4 -QAM and a 16-QAM for the coded scheme (16-QAM and 256- QAM, repectively for the time-sharin g scheme). At WER = 10 − 4 , a gain o f 6 dB is observed when a 4-QAM constellation is considered. When we increase the spectral efficiency (16-QAM), this g ain in creases to 9 d B. Interesting ly , c ompared to th e outag e perform ance of the cha nnel, the same be havior can be observed. This proves numerically the o ptimality of th e pr oposed co ding sch eme. V I . C O N C L U S I O N In this paper, the multiantenn a Multip le Access Channel with no Channel Side Info rmation at the transmitters is con- sidered. W e pro pose a new constru ction of distributed space- time block codes that achieve the o ptimal DM T of the K - user MIMO-MAC. As an examp le, we p resent the special case of a two-u ser MA C w ith two tran smit antenn as per user . In order to ov e rcome th e rank deficiency , source of inefficiency of the well-known classical d ecodin g appro ach, we u sed the MMSE-DFE pr eprocessing comb ined with the lattice decodin g. Simu lation r esults show that th e new codes offer a significant performa nce gain co mpared to the time sharing scheme. R E F E R E N C E S [1] L . Zheng and D.
