Abstract

Abstract:

In wireless cellular networks, the interference alignment (IA) is a promising technique for interference management. A new IA scheme for downlink cellular network with multi-cell and multi-user was proposed. In the proposed scheme, the interference in the networks is divided into inter-cell interference (ICI) among cells and inter-user interference (IUI) in each cell. The ICI is aligned onto a multi-dimensional subspace by multiplying the ICI alignment precoding matrix which is designed by the singular value decomposition (SVD) scheme at the base station (BS) side. The aligned ICI is eliminated by timing the interference suppression matrix which is designed by zero-forcing (ZF) scheme at the user equipment (UE) side. Meanwhile, the IUI is aligned by multiplying the IUI alignment precoding matrix which is designed based on Nash bargaining solution (NBS) in game theory. The NBS is solved by the particle swarm optimization (PSO) method. Simulations show that, compared with the traditional ZF IA scheme, the proposed scheme can obtain higher data rate and guarantee the data rate fairness of UEs with little additional complexity.

Key words:

cellular network, interference alignment, Nash bargaining solution, data rate fairness, particle swarm optimization
