  1. HMTT: A Hybrid Hardware/Software Tracing System for Bridging Memory Trace's Semantic Gap.

    Authors: Yan Zhu, Yungang Bao, Jinyong Zhang, Dan Tang, Yuan Ruan, Mingyu Chen, Jianping Fan
    Subjects: Architecture
    Abstract

    Memory trace analysis is an important technology for architecture research,
    system software (i.e., OS, compiler) optimization, and application performance
    improvements. Hardware-snooping is an effective and efficient approach to
    monitor and collect memory traces. Compared with software-based approaches,
    memory traces collected by hardware-based approaches are usually lack of
    semantic information, such as process/function/loop identifiers, virtual
    address and I/O access.

  2. Ergodic Fading One-sided Interference Channels without State Information at Transmitters.

    Authors: Yan Zhu, Dongning Guo
    Subjects: Information Theory
    Abstract

    This work studies the capacity region of a two-user ergodic interference
    channel with fading, where only one of the users is subject to interference
    from the other user, and the channel state information (CSI) is only available
    at the receivers. A layered erasure model with one-sided interference and with
    arbitrary fading statistics is studied first, whose capacity region is
    completely determined as a polygon. Each dominant rate pair can be regarded as
    the outcome of a trade-off between the rate gain of the interference-free user
    and the rate loss of the other user due to interference.

  3. A Message-Passing Approach for Joint Channel Estimation, Interference Mitigation and Decoding.

    Authors: Michael L. Honig, Yan Zhu, Dongning Guo
    Subjects: Information Theory
    Abstract

    Channel uncertainty and co-channel interference are two major challenges in
    the design of wireless systems such as future generation cellular networks.
    This paper studies receiver design for a wireless channel model with both
    time-varying Rayleigh fading and strong co-channel interference of similar form
    as the desired signal. It is assumed that the channel coefficients of the
    desired signal can be estimated through the use of pilots, whereas no pilot for
    the interference signal is available, as is the case in many practical wireless
    systems.

  5. Isotropic MIMO Interference Channels without CSIT: The Loss of Degrees of Freedom.

    Authors: Yan Zhu, Dongning Guo
    Subjects: Information Theory
    Abstract

    This paper studies two-user MIMO interference channel with isotropic fading.
    We assume that users are equipped with arbitrary number of antennas and the
    channel state information (CSI) is available at receivers only. An outer bound
    is obtained for the degree of freedom region, which suggests the loss of
    degrees of freedom due to the lack of CSI at transmitters under many
    circumstances.

  7. Capacity Region of Layered Erasure One-sided Interference Channels without CSIT.

    Authors: Yan Zhu, Dongning Guo
    Subjects: Information Theory
    Abstract

    This paper studies a layered erasure interference channel model, which is a
    simplification of the Gaussian interference channel with fading using the
    deterministic model approach. In particular, the capacity region of the layered
    erasure one-sided interference channel is completely determined, assuming that
    the channel state information (CSI) is known to the receivers, but there is no
    CSI at transmitters (CSIT).
