Cellular Networks with Densely Deployed Antennas and Imperfect Network State Information
By: Guangyi Liu Chair: Leonard Cimini
ABSTRACT
Future cellular systems with densely deployed antennas result in requirements for increased amounts of feedback for network state information. Taking into account the additional communication resources required for transmitting this overhead, in this dissertation, we determine the wireless network performance under these conditions, as well as optimal resource allocation and scheduling algorithms. We mostly focus on MU-MISO to illustrate potential solutions for maximizing performance. From a rate-distortion theoretic point of view, we study the minimal overhead required to achieve a specified distortion, as well as advanced source coding methods to approach this minimum value. With the conclusions drawn from the research on massive MISO with outdated CSI, we study one particular type of high-speed users: autonomous vehicles (AVs). Routing algorithms for autonomous vehicles with communication constraints are proposed; also, two basic principles for optimal AV traffic control with communication constraints are demonstrated.
