In this paper,we investigate a downlink port selection and power allocation scheme in Distributed Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (D-MIMO) systems,where Distributed Antenna (DA) ports randomly locate in the cell. The contri-bution of this paper can be summarized as two parts. Firstly,we analyze how antenna correlation af-fects power allocation in D-MIMO systems. Secondly,based on large scale fading and antenna corre-lation,a low-complexity port selection and power allocation scheme is proposed. In the proposed scheme,we take both large scale fading and antenna correlation into consideration. Moreover,User Equipment (UE) only needs to feedback the rank of transmit antenna correlation matrix,which will not increase system complexity too much. Simulation results verify the capacity improvement based on the proposed power allocation scheme.展开更多

It can obtain the geometrical depolarization effect of each path if known the antenna configuration, the polarization field radiation pattern and the spatial distribution of scatters. With the development of communication technology, information transmission spectrum is more and more scarce. The original model provides only a single channel polarization state, so the information will be limited that the polarization state carries in the polarization modulation. The research is so significance that how to carries polarization modulation information by using multi-antenna polarization state. However, the present study shows that have no depolarization effect model for multi-antenna systems. In this paper, we propose a multi-antenna geometrical depolarization model. On the basis of a single antenna to calculate the depolarization effect of the model, and through simulation to analysis the main factors that influence the depolarization effect. This article provides a multi-antenna geometrical depolarization channel modeling that can applied to large-scale array antenna, and to some extent increase the speed of information transmission.展开更多
