In this article, we study the fluctuations of the random variable: $$
{\mathcal I}_n(\rho) = \frac 1N \log\det(\Sigma_n \Sigma_n^* + \rho I_N),\quad
(\rho>0) $$ where $\Sigma_n= n^{-1/2} D_n^{1/2} X_n\tilde D_n^{1/2} +A_n$, as
the dimensions of the matrices go to infinity at the same pace.
This paper deals with the problem of parameter estimation based on certain
eigenspaces of the empirical covariance matrix of an observed multidimensional
time series, in the case where the time series dimension and the observation
window grow to infinity at the same pace. In the area of large random matrix
theory, recent contributions studied the behavior of the extreme eigenvalues of
a random matrix and their associated eigenspaces when this matrix is subject to
a fixed-rank perturbation.
This paper addresses the detection of a stochastic process in noise from
irregular samples. We consider two hypotheses. The \emph{noise only} hypothesis
amounts to model the observations as a sample of a i.i.d. Gaussian random
variables (noise only). The \emph{signal plus noise} hypothesis models the
observations as the samples of a continuous time stationary Gaussian process
(the signal) taken at known but random time-instants corrupted with an additive
noise. Two binary tests are considered, depending on which assumptions is
retained as the null hypothesis.
In this work, a new static relaying protocol is introduced for half duplex
single-relay networks, and its performance is studied in the context of
communications over slow fading wireless channels. The proposed protocol is
based on a Decode or Quantize and Forward (DoQF) approach. In slow fading
scenarios, two performance metrics are relevant and complementary, namely the
outage probability gain and the Diversity-Multiplexing Tradeoff (DMT).
In this pair of papers (Part I and Part II in this issue), we investigate the
issue of power control and subcarrier assignment in a sectorized two-cell
downlink OFDMA system impaired by multicell interference. As recommended for
WiMAX, we assume that the first part of the available bandwidth is likely to be
reused by different base stations (and is thus subject to multicell
interference) and that the second part of the bandwidth is shared in an
orthogonal way between the different base stations (and is thus protected from
multicell interference).
In a companion paper, we characterized the optimal resource allocation in
terms of power control and subcarrier assignment, for a downlink sectorized
OFDMA system. In our model, the network is assumed to be one dimensional for
the sake of analysis. We also assume that a certain part of the available
bandwidth is likely to be reused by different base stations while that the
other part of the bandwidth is shared in an orthogonal way between these base
stations.
