Null Space Precoding for Downlink Network MIMO Systems with No CSI

Abstract: Multicell coordination increases the cell-edge users' throughput in cellular wireless communication if the inter-cell interference (ICI) is mitigated properly. In this paper, we use the null space concept to design precoders and decoders to remove ICI for cell-edge users in the downlink of a network MIMO system. We propose two novel methods that are able to eliminate ICI assuming no channel state information (CSI) is available at the basestations. Calculating signal-to-interference-ratio (SINR), we show that o… Show more

“…Furthermore, data type OFDM symbols are usually loaded with pilot symbols for fine tuning the estimation of channel and impairments. The null subcarriers in the short OFDM training symbol can also be used to estimate the noise plus ICI correlation matrix as given in [9]. For L OFDM short symbols with N null null subcarriers, this correlation matrix Ψ can be estimated as [9]…”

“…This makes the system performance degrade severely. Three main mechanisms proposed in LTE-Advanced to solve the edge user throughput and QoS problem are carrier aggregation, coordinated multi-point (CoMP), and relaying [3]- [4]. Among these, CoMP, the LTE-Advanced terminology for network MIMO, is one of the candidates to enhance average cell throughput as well as cell edge user throughput in both uplink and downlink communication [5].…”

“…Space diversity employs an array of spatially separated antennas to exploit location dependent fading characteristics in a wireless channel. This concept has been utilized in multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) systems to improve the performance in spatially uncorrelated fading environments [5]- [8]. However, as the size of a mobile terminal becomes smaller, it is more difficult to design antennas with large spatial separation.…”
