Cuts and semidefinite liftings for the complex cut polytope

We consider the complex cut polytope: the convex hull of Hermitian rank 1 matrices \(xx^{\mathrm{H}}\), where the elements of \(x \in \mathbb{C}^n\) are \(m\)th unit roots. These polytopes have applications in \({\text{MAX-3-CUT}}\), digital communication technology, angular synchronization and more generally, complex quadratic programming. For \({m=2}\), the complex cut polytope corresponds to the well-known cut polytope. … Read more

Modulation Design for MIMO-CoMP HARQ

Modulation diversity (MoDiv) is a simple and practical transmission enhancement technique that utilizes different modulation mappings to reduce packet loss rate and achieve higher link throughput. MoDiv is particularly meaningful and effective in hybrid-ARQ (HARQ) systems. We study the deployment and optimization of MoDiv for HARQ in a MIMOcoordinated multi-point (MIMO-CoMP) scenario under Rician fading … Read more
