interspecific interactions but in non-manipulative field conditions there are often only two choices, both of which rely upon data where the location, identity and often size of every individual is

""Due to less restrictive data requirements (the test can be carried out on a single sampling of the community), the spatial snapshot option has proven more popular, and the test methods employ

spin doublet can also be achieved if the Coulomb interaction is tuned, as shown in Fig. [REF].', '0902.1111-2-44-1': 'The effect of the mixing is clearly visible by an increase of the correlation [MATH] (now normalized by the gap) while [MATH] is lowered.', '0902.1111-2-44-2': 'We also find that the correlations relative to the gap decrease for higher gaps, which is a simple saturation effect

complex VHE morphology and faint VHE emission prevent a unequivocal identification of the source given the presence of several possible counterparts.', '1203.3215-2-24-2': 'The H.E.S.S. source seems to be composed of two emission regions but the statistics are still too low to make firm conclusions about the origin of those.', '1203.3215-2-25-0': 'Several counterparts are discussed using energetics arguments as to the possible origin of either part or all of the emission.', '1203.3215-2-25-1': 'In a SNR/MC scenario, SNRG284.3-1.8 could partially explain the VHE [MATH]-ray emission via

'1203.3215-2-27-0': 'The energetic pulsar PSRJ1016-5857, also recently detected in Fermi-LAT and AGILE data, and its X-ray nebula seem the most likely candidate to power the extended VHE [MATH]-ray source, given the high spin-down luminosity (2.6[MATH]ergs[MATH]) and X-ray nebula, which implies a population of high energy electrons able to up-scatter soft photon fields to VHE.',

among observations and theoretical works.', '1512.03064-2-25-2': 'Since stellar halo [Fe/H] profiles are an important diagnostic of galaxy formation history, a careful and faithful comparison between

'Ultimately, the choice of numerical technique in radiative transport depends on the type of problem one is trying to solve.', 'astro-ph-9810425-2-45-1': 'The starting point in our discussion is that

to the elliptic-type solvers on the fluid-flow time-scale or the time-scale of atomic processes, explicit radiative advection produces very accurate results without the need to solve a large system of coupled non-linear elliptic equations.', 'astro-ph-9810425-2-45-4': 'The computing requirements with explicit advection grow linearly with the inclusion of new atomic and molecular rate equations, which is certainly not the case for quasi-static solvers.', 'astro-ph-9810425-2-45-5': 'Although it is feasible that the development of multigrid techniques for elliptic equations might actually approach similar scaling.', 'astro-ph-9810425-2-46-0': 'Using equation ([REF]) we can see that the entire history of reionization can be modeled with [MATH]-[MATH] time-steps (depending on the required resolution), which makes explicit advection an attractive choice for these calculations.', 'astro-ph-9810425-2-46-1': 'However, the efficiency of the explicit radiative solver has still to be explored.', 'astro-ph-9810425-2-46-2': 'Future work should include a detailed comparison between explicit advection and implicit reconstruction (through an elliptic solver), to demonstrate which method works best for calculating inhomogeneous reionization.', 'astro-ph-9810425-2-47-0': 'As we have demonstrated here, for certain problems, including the propagation of supersonic I-fronts, the Courant condition does not seem to impose prohibitively small time steps.', 'astro-ph-9810425-2-47-1': 'In this case the biggest challenge is to accurately describe anisotropies in the radiation field, i.e. to solve for inhomogeneous advection in the 5D phase space, in the presence of non-uniform sources and sinks of radiation.', 'astro-ph-9810425-2-47-2': 'Strictly speaking, the storage of one variable at, say, [MATH] data points requires about [MATH]GB of memory, which stretches the capabilities of top-end desktop workstations.', 'astro-ph-9810425-2-47-3': 'One attractive possibility for future exploration is to directly solve the monochromatic photon Boltzmann equation in 5D.', 'astro-ph-9810425-2-47-4': 'To demonstrate the feasibility of the numerical solution, however, among different methods, we here chose to concentrate on simple ray tracing at the speed of light.', 'astro-ph-9810425-2-47-5': 'The numerical approach we have used is completely conservative and produces very little numerical dissipation.', 'astro-ph-9810425-2-48-0': 'The global exchange of energy via the radiation field at a fixed wavelength is probably one of the easiest problems to solve in

hand, the full solution of the RHD equations, retaining all [MATH] terms, is a much more complicated problem.', 'astro-ph-9810425-2-49-1': 'In this case one deals with frequency-dependent RT, and issues such as line transfer, broadening effects and spatial motions within the simulation box become important.', 'astro-ph-9810425-2-49-2': 'Nevertheless, we want to conclude that with a reasonable

the optimal scheduling and the constant heuristic.', '1606.06490-2-59-2': 'Furthermore, in the high SNR region the performance gap between the two schemes is less influenced by the channel correlation, e.g., at point SNR=25 dB the gap between the two schemes of the case [MATH] is quite similar to the gaps under the other two cases.', '1606.06490-2-59-3': 'This is due to the fact that a strong channel correlation makes the outdated CSI more accurate, which reduces the importance of choosing the best scheduling weight.', '1606.06490-2-59-4': 'As a result, the performance gap between the optimal and the heuristic scheduling schemes is relatively constant.', '1606.06490-2-59-5': 'On the other hand, in the low SNR region the gap between the two schemes is slightly bigger for the

massive MIMO technology is a promising technology, there are many practical challenges and technical hurdles down the road to the successful commercialization.', '1601.00019-3-2-2': 'These include design of low-cost and low-power basestation with acceptable antenna space, improvement in the fronthaul capacity between radio and control units, acquisition of high dimensional channel state information (CSI), and many others.', '1601.00019-3-2-3': 'Recently, 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) standard body initiated the standardization activity to employ tens of antennas at

preliminary studies addressed the feasibility of 2D array antenna structure and performance evaluation in ideal pilot transmission and feedback scenarios [CITATION].', '1601.00019-3-3-3': 'This work is distinct from these in the sense that we put our emphasis on describing realistic issues in the standardization process, including TXRU architectures, beamformed CSI-RS, 3D beamforming, details of CSI feedback, and performance evaluation in realistic FD-MIMO scenarios with new feedback schemes.', '1601.00019-3-4-0': '# Key Features of FD-MIMO Systems', '1601.00019-3-5-0': 'In this section, we discuss key features of FD-MIMO systems.', '1601.00019-3-5-1': 'These include a large number of basestation antennas, 2D active antenna array, 3D channel propagation, and new pilot transmission with CSI feedback.', '1601.00019-3-5-2': 'In what follows, we will use LTE terminology exclusively: enhanced node-B (eNB) for basestation, user equipment (UE) for the mobile terminal, and reference signal (RS) for pilot signal.', '1601.00019-3-6-0': '## Increase the number of transmit antennas', '1601.00019-3-7-0': 'One of the main features of FD-MIMO systems distinct from the MIMO systems of the current LTE and LTE-Advanced standards is to use a large number of antennas at eNB.', '1601.00019-3-7-1': 'In theory, as the number of eNB antennas [MATH] increases, cross-correlation of two random channel realizations goes to zero [CITATION] so that the inter-user interference in the downlink can be controlled via a simple linear precoder.', '1601.00019-3-7-2': 'Such benefit, however, can be realized only when the perfect CSI is available at the eNB.', '1601.00019-3-7-3': 'While the CSI acquisition in time division duplex (TDD) systems is relatively simple due to the channel reciprocity, such is not the case for frequency division duplex (FDD) systems.', '1601.00019-3-7-4': 'Note that in the FDD systems, time variation and frequency response of the channel are measured via the downlink RSs and then sent back to the eNB after the quantization.', '1601.00019-3-7-5': 'Even in TDD mode, one cannot solely rely on the channel reciprocity because the measurement at the transmitter does not capture the downlink interference from neighboring cells or co-scheduled UEs.', '1601.00019-3-7-6': 'As such, downlink RSs are still required to capture the channel quality indicator (CQI) for the TDD mode, and thus the downlink RS and the uplink CSI feedback are essential for both duplex modes.', '1601.00019-3-7-7': 'Identifying the potential issues of CSI acquisition and developing the proper solutions are, therefore, of great importance for the successful commercialization of FD-MIMO systems.', '1601.00019-3-7-8': 'Before we go into detail, we briefly summarize two major problems related to the CSI acquisition.', '1601.00019-3-8-0': '## 2D active antenna system (AAS)', '1601.00019-3-9-0': 'Another interesting feature of the FD-MIMO system is an introduction of the active antenna with 2D planar array.', '1601.00019-3-9-1': 'In the active antenna-based systems, gain and phase are controlled by the active components, such as power amplifier (PA) and low noise amplifier (LNA), attached to each antenna element.', '1601.00019-3-9-2': 'In the 2D structured antenna array, one can control the radio wave on both vertical (elevation) and horizontal (azimuth) direction so that the control of the transmit beam in 3D space is possible.', '1601.00019-3-9-3': 'This type of wave control mechanism is also referred to as the 3D beamforming.', '1601.00019-3-9-4': 'Another important benefit of 2D AAS is that it can accommodate a large number of antennas without increasing the deployment space.', '1601.00019-3-9-5': 'For example, when 64 linear antenna arrays are deployed in a horizontal direction, under the common assumption that the antenna spacing is half wavelength ([MATH]) and the system is using LTE carrier frequency (2 GHz), it requires a horizontal room of [MATH]m. Due to the limited space on a rooftop or mast, this space would be burdensome for most of the cell sites.', '1601.00019-3-9-6': 'In contrast, when antennas are arranged in a square array, relatively small space is required for 2D antenna array (e.g., 1.0 [MATH] 0.5m with dual-polarized 8 [MATH] 8 antenna array).', '1601.00019-3-10-0': '## 3D channel environment', '1601.00019-3-11-0': 'When basic features of the FD-MIMO systems are determined, the next step is to design a system maximizing performance in terms of throughput, spectral efficiency, and peak data rate in the realistic channel environment.', '1601.00019-3-11-1': 'There are various issues to consider in the design of practical systems, such as investigation and characterization of the realistic channel model for the performance evaluation.', '1601.00019-3-11-2': 'While the conventional MIMO systems consider the propagation in the horizontal direction only, FD-MIMO systems employing 2D planar array should consider the propagation in both vertical and horizontal direction.', '1601.00019-3-11-3': 'To do so, geometric structure of the transmitter antenna array and propagation effect of the 3D positions between the eNB and UE should be reflected in the channel model.', '1601.00019-3-11-4': 'Main features of 3D channel propagation obtained from real measurement are as follows [CITATION]:', '1601.00019-3-12-0': '## RS transmission for CSI acquisition', '1601.00019-3-13-0': 'From the LTE to LTE-Advanced, there has been substantial improvement in the RS scheme for MIMO systems (see Fig. 1(a)).', '1601.00019-3-13-1': 'From the common RS (CRS) to the channel state information RS (CSI-RS), various RSs to perform the CSI acquisition have been introduced.', '1601.00019-3-13-2': 'While these are common to all users in a cell and thus un-precoded, the demodulation RS (DM-RS) is UE-specific (dedicated to each UE) so that it is precoded by the same weight applied for the data transmission.', '1601.00019-3-13-3': 'Since the DM-RS is present only on time/frequency resources where the UE is scheduled, this cannot be used for CSI measurements [CITATION].', '1601.00019-3-14-0': 'One of the new features of the FD-MIMO systems is to use a beamformed RS, called beamformed CSI-RS, for the CSI acquisition.', '1601.00019-3-14-1': 'Beamformed RS transmission is a channel training technique that uses multiple precoding weights in spatial domain.', '1601.00019-3-14-2': 'In this scheme, UE selects the best weight among transmitted and then feeds back its index.', '1601.00019-3-14-3': 'This scheme provides many benefits over non-precoded CSI-RS, in particular when [MATH] is large.', '1601.00019-3-14-4': 'Some of the benefits are summarized as follows:', '1601.00019-3-15-0': 'In order to support the beamformed CSI-RS scheme, new transmitter architecture called transceiver unit (TXRU) architecture has been introduced.', '1601.00019-3-15-1': 'By TXRU architecture, we mean a hardware connection between the baseband signal path and antenna array elements.', '1601.00019-3-15-2': 'Since this architecture facilitates the control of phase and gain in both digital and analog domain, more accurate control of the beamforming direction is possible.', '1601.00019-3-15-3': 'One thing to note is that the conventional codebook cannot measure the CSI of the beamformed transmission so that a new channel feedback mechanism supporting the beamformed transmission is required (see Section III.D for details).', '1601.00019-3-16-0': '# System Design and Standardization of FD-MIMO Systems', '1601.00019-3-17-0': 'The main purpose of the Rel.', '1601.00019-3-17-1': '13 study item is to identify key issues to support up to 64 transmit antennas placed in the form of a 2D antenna array.', '1601.00019-3-17-2': 'Standardization of the systems supporting up to 16 antennas is an initial target of Rel.', '1601.00019-3-17-3': '13 and issues to support more than 16 antennas will be discussed in subsequent releases.', '1601.00019-3-17-4': 'In the study item phase, there has been extensive discussion to support 2D array antennas, elaborated TXRUs, enhanced channel measurement and feedback schemes, and also an increased number of co-scheduled users (up to eight users).', '1601.00019-3-17-5': 'Among these, an item tightly coupled to the standardization is the CSI measurement and feedback mechanism.', '1601.00019-3-17-6': 'In this subsection, we discuss the deployment scenarios, antenna configurations, TXRU structure, new RS strategy, and feedback mechanisms.', '1601.00019-3-18-0': '## Deployment scenarios', '1601.00019-3-19-0': 'For the design and evaluation of FD-MIMO systems, a realistic scenario in which antenna array and UEs are located in different height is considered.', '1601.00019-3-19-1': 'To this end, two typical deployment scenarios, viz., 3D urban macro scenario (3D-UMa) and 3D urban micro (3D-UMi), are introduced (see Fig. [REF]).', '1601.00019-3-19-2': 'In the former case, transmit antennas are placed over the rooftop, and in the latter case, they are located below the rooftop.', '1601.00019-3-19-3': 'In case of 3D-UMa, diffraction over the rooftop is a dominant factor for the propagation so that down-tilted transmission in the vertical direction is desirable (see Fig. [REF](b)).', '1601.00019-3-19-4': 'In fact, by transmitting beams with different steering angles, eNB can separate channels corresponding to multiple UEs.', '1601.00019-3-19-5': 'In the 3D-UMi scenario, on the other hand, the location of users is higher than the height of the antenna so that direct signal path is dominant (see Fig. [REF](c)).', '1601.00019-3-19-6': 'In this scenario, both up and down-tilting can be used to schedule UEs in different floors.', '1601.00019-3-19-7': 'Since the cell radius of the 3D-UMi scenario is typically smaller than that of 3D-UMa, LOS channel condition is predominant, and thus more UEs can be co-scheduled without increasing the inter-user interference [CITATION].', '1601.00019-3-19-8': 'Although not as strong as the 3D-UMi scenario, LOS probability in the 3D-UMa scenario also increases when the distance between eNB and UE decreases.', '1601.00019-3-20-0': '## Antenna configurations', '1601.00019-3-21-0': 'Unlike the conventional MIMO systems relying on the passive antenna, systems based on the active antenna can dynamically control the gain of an antenna element by applying the weight of low-power amplifiers attached to each antenna element.', '1601.00019-3-21-1': 'Since the radiation pattern depends on the antenna arrangement, such as the number of the antenna elements and antenna spacing, the antenna system should be modeled in an element-level.', '1601.00019-3-21-2': 'As shown in Fig. [REF](a), there are three key parameters characterizing the antenna array structure [MATH]: the number of elements [MATH] in vertical direction, the number of elements [MATH] in horizontal direction, and the polarization degree [MATH] is for co-polarization and [MATH] is for dual-polarization).', '1601.00019-3-21-3': 'As a benchmark setting, 2D planar array using dual polarized antenna ([MATH]) configuration with [MATH] spacing in vertical direction) and [MATH] spacing in horizontal direction) is suggested.', '1601.00019-3-21-4': 'In this setting, null direction, an angle to make the magnitude of beam pattern to zero, for the elevation beam pattern is 11[MATH] and that for the horizontal beam pattern is 30[MATH] (see Fig. [REF](c)).', '1601.00019-3-21-5': 'Since the null direction in the vertical domain is much smaller than that of the horizontal domain, scheduling UEs in the vertical domain is more effective in controlling the inter-user interference.', '1601.00019-3-21-6': 'Also, a tall or fat array structure ([MATH] or [MATH]) is favorable since it will generate a sharp beam but it might be less flexible in the situation where the surrounding environment is changed.', '1601.00019-3-21-7': 'Further, large antenna spacing is not always a desirable option since it can increase the inter-cell interference due to the narrow beamforming for cell edge UEs (this phenomenon is called flash-light effect).', '1601.00019-3-21-8': 'For this reason, in a real deployment scenario, the design parameters should be carefully chosen by considering various factors, such as user location, cell radius, building height, and antenna height.', '1601.00019-3-22-0': '## TXRU architectures', '1601.00019-3-23-0': 'As mentioned, one interesting feature of the active antenna systems is that each TXRU contains PA and LNA so that eNB can control the gain and phase of an individual antenna element.', '1601.00019-3-23-1': 'In order to support this, a power feeding network between TXRUs and antenna elements called TXRU architecture is introduced [CITATION].', '1601.00019-3-23-2': 'TXRU architecture consists of three components: TXRU array, antenna array, and radio distribution networks (RDN).', '1601.00019-3-23-3': 'A role of the RDN is to deliver the transmit signal from PA to antenna array elements and the received signal from antenna array to LNA.', '1601.00019-3-23-4': 'Depending on the CSI-RS transmission and feedback strategy, two representative options, array partitioning and array connected architecture, are suggested.', '1601.00019-3-23-5': 'The former is for the conventional codebook scheme and the latter is for the beamforming scheme.', '1601.00019-3-24-0': 'In the array partitioning architecture, antenna elements are divided into multiple groups and each TXRU is connected to one of them (see Fig. [REF](d)).', '1601.00019-3-24-1': 'Whereas, in the array connected structure, RDN is designed such that RF signals of multiple TXRUs are delivered to the single antenna element.', '1601.00019-3-24-2': 'To mix RF signals from multiple TXRUs, additional RF combining circuitry is needed as shown in Fig. [REF](e).', '1601.00019-3-24-3': 'The difference between the two can be better understood when we discuss the transmission of the CSI-RS.', '1601.00019-3-24-4': 'In the array partitioning architecture, [MATH] antenna elements are partitioned into [MATH] groups of TXRU and orthogonal CSI-RS is assigned for each group.', '1601.00019-3-24-5': 'Each TXRU transmits its own CSI-RS so that the UE measures the channel [MATH] from the CSI-RS observation [MATH].', '1601.00019-3-24-6': 'In the array connected architecture, each antenna element is connected to [MATH] (out of [MATH]) TXRUs

CSI-RS observation is [MATH] and the UE measures the precoded channel [MATH] from this.', '1601.00019-3-24-8': 'Due to the narrow and directional CSI-RS beam transmission with a linear array, SNR of the precoded channel is maximized at the target direction.', '1601.00019-3-25-0': '## New CSI-RS transmission strategy', '1601.00019-3-26-0': 'In the standardization process, two CSI-RS transmission strategies, i.e., extension of the conventional non-precoded CSI-RS and the beamformed CSI-RS, are suggested.', '1601.00019-3-26-1': 'In the first strategy, UE observes the non-precoded CSI-RS transmitted from each of partitioned antenna arrays (see Fig. [REF](d)).', '1601.00019-3-26-2': 'By sending the precoder maximizing the properly designed performance criterion to the eNB, UE can adapt to the channel variation.', '1601.00019-3-26-3': 'In the second strategy, eNB transmits multiple beamformed CSI-RS (we call it beam for simplicity) using connected arrays architecture.', '1601.00019-3-26-4': 'Among these, UE selects the preferred beam and then feeds back its index.', '1601.00019-3-26-5': 'When the eNB receives the beam index, the weight corresponding to the selected beam is used for the data transmission.', '1601.00019-3-27-0': 'Overall downlink precoder for data transmission [MATH] and CSI-RS transmission [MATH] can be expressed as [EQUATION] where [MATH] is the precoder between TXRU and the antenna element, [MATH] is the precoder between the CSI-RS port and the TXRU ([MATH] is the number of antenna ports), and [MATH] is the precoder between data channel to CSI-RS port.', '1601.00019-3-28-0': 'In the following, we summarize details of two strategies.', '1601.00019-3-29-0': 'In Table [REF], we summarize two CSI-RS transmission schemes discussed in the

the main features of FD-MIMO systems distinct from the MIMO systems of the current LTE and LTE-Advanced standards is to use a large number of antennas at eNB.', '1601.00019-4-7-1': 'In theory, as the number of eNB antennas [MATH] increases, cross-correlation of two random channel realizations goes to zero [CITATION] so that the inter-user interference in the downlink can be controlled via a simple linear precoder.', '1601.00019-4-7-2': 'Such benefit, however, can be realized only when the perfect CSI is available at the eNB.', '1601.00019-4-7-3': 'While the CSI acquisition in time division duplex (TDD) systems is relatively simple due to the channel reciprocity, such is not the case for frequency division duplex (FDD) systems.', '1601.00019-4-7-4': 'Note that in the FDD systems, time variation and frequency response of the channel are measured via the downlink RSs and then sent back to the eNB after the quantization.', '1601.00019-4-7-5': 'Even in TDD mode, one cannot solely rely on the channel reciprocity because the measurement at the transmitter does not capture the downlink interference from neighboring cells or co-scheduled UEs.', '1601.00019-4-7-6': 'As such, downlink RSs are still required to capture the channel quality indicator (CQI) for the TDD mode, and thus the downlink RS and the uplink CSI feedback are essential for both duplex modes.', '1601.00019-4-7-7': 'Identifying the potential issues of CSI acquisition and developing the proper solutions are, therefore, of great importance for the successful commercialization of FD-MIMO systems.',

fact, by transmitting beams with different steering angles, eNB can separate channels corresponding to multiple UEs.', '1601.00019-4-19-5': 'In the 3D-UMi scenario, on the other hand, the location of users is higher than the height of the antenna so that direct signal path is dominant (see Fig. [REF](c)).', '1601.00019-4-19-6': 'In this scenario, both up and down-tilting can be used to schedule UEs in different floors.', '1601.00019-4-19-7': 'Since the cell radius of the 3D-UMi scenario is typically smaller than that of 3D-UMa, LOS channel condition is predominant, and thus more UEs can be co-scheduled without increasing the inter-user interference [CITATION].', '1601.00019-4-19-8': 'Although not as strong as the 3D-UMi scenario, LOS probability in the 3D-UMa scenario also increases

effect of losses and decoherence poses a serious problem for establishing entangled resources at distance or in a long computing network, since in a realistic transmission or computation the entanglement can be considerably degraded, thus preventing, for example, successful teleportation or dense coding.', 'quant-ph-0209166-4-2-2': 'For this reason, the use of transformations which can increase the available entanglement by means of LOCC-although with some probability-is crucial for practical purposes.', 'quant-ph-0209166-4-2-3': 'More generally, understanding entanglement transformations that are allowed by LOCC provides more insight in the structure and property of nonlocality, the most prominent character of quantum mechanics.', 'quant-ph-0209166-4-3-0': 'On entanglement transformations via LOCC there are two main results.', 'quant-ph-0209166-4-3-1': 'The first is the seminal work by Nielsen [CITATION] on deterministic transformations, which introduces

are completely disconnected, and for practical applications of the theory, a unified framework would be needed, especially in consideration that the more general treatment by Vidal is more abstract and less constructive than the Nielsen approach, which, however, is limited only to deterministic transformations.', 'quant-ph-0209166-4-3-5': 'Furthermore, from the Vidal approach it is very difficult to recover the Nielsen treatment as a special case, and it is quite surprising that such approach ends up as a weak-majorization condition, without essentially using majorization theory.',
