Abstract:

This work has investigated coordinated multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission schemes in an interference-limited cellular downlink. It has proposed a novel block diagonalization (BD) coordinated transmission scheme, which combines with zero-forcing (ZF) criterion. In the scheme, the BD technique has advantages in suppressing multi-user interference while the ZF technique enables to mitigate interference among spatial data streams for a user. Based on the proposed coordinated scheme, an efficient power allocation is also put forward. The analyses show that the ergodic capacity of the proposed coordinated scheme is that of the MIMO channel with the maximum transmit power at each transmitter. Computer simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed coordinated scheme and its corresponding power allocation.
