For the two-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) broadcast channel with delayed channel state information at transmitter (CSIT) and arbitrary antenna configurations, all the degrees-of-freedom (DoF) regions were obtained. However, for the three-user MIMO broadcast channel with delayed CSIT and arbitrary antenna configurations, the DoF region of order-2 messages is still unclear and only a partial achievable DoF region of order-1 messages was obtained. In this paper, for the three-user MIMO broadcast channel with delayed CSIT and arbitrary antenna configurations, we first design the achievable scheme for each antenna configuration case, and then introduce a structuring method for analyzing the inherent achievable DoF region of the proposed scheme. As a result, the DoF region of order-2 messages is precisely characterized and an achievable DoF region of order-1 messages is completely expressed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
