Wireless Cellular Networks
When aiming for achieving high spectral efficiency in wireless cellular networks, cochannel interference (CCI) becomes the dominant performancelimiting factor. This article provides a survey of CCI mitigation techniques, where both active and passive approaches are discussed in the context of both open- and closed-loop designs.More explicitly, we considered both the family of flexible frequency-reuse (FFR)-aided and dynamic channel allocation (DCA)-aided interference avoidance techniques as well as smart antenna-aided interference mitigation techniques, which may be classified as active approach
Joint Design of Multi-Tap Analog Cancellation and Digital Beamforming for Reduced Complexity Full Duplex MIMO Systems
Incorporating full duplex operation in Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO)
systems provides the potential of boosting throughput performance. However, the
hardware complexity of the analog self-interference canceller scales with the
number of transmit and receive antennas, thus exploiting the benefits of analog
cancellation becomes impractical for full duplex MIMO transceivers. In this
paper, we present a novel architecture for the analog canceller comprising of
reduced number of taps (tap refers to a line of fixed delay and variable phase
shifter and attenuator) and simple multiplexers for efficient signal routing
among the transmit and receive radio frequency chains. In contrast to the
available analog cancellation architectures, the values for each tap and the
configuration of the multiplexers are jointly designed with the digital
beamforming filters according to certain performance objectives. Focusing on a
narrowband flat fading channel model as an example, we present a general
optimization framework for the joint design of analog cancellation and digital
beamforming. We also detail a particular optimization objective together with
its derived solution for the latter architectural components. Representative
computer simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed low
complexity full duplex MIMO system over lately available ones.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, IEEE ICC 201
Indoor Massive MIMO Deployments for Uniformly High Wireless Capacity
Providing consistently high wireless capacity is becoming increasingly
important to support the applications required by future digital enterprises.
In this paper, we propose Eigen-direction-aware ZF (EDA-ZF) with partial
coordination among base stations (BSs) and distributed interference suppression
as a practical approach to achieve this objective. We compare our solution with
Zero Forcing (ZF), entailing neither BS coordination or inter-cell interference
mitigation, and Network MIMO (NeMIMO), where full BS coordination enables
centralized inter-cell interference management. We also evaluate the
performance of said schemes for three sub-6 GHz deployments with varying BS
densities -- sparse, intermediate, and dense -- all with fixed total number of
antennas and radiated power. Extensive simulations show that: (i) indoor
massive MIMO implementing the proposed EDA-ZF provides uniformly good rates for
all users; (ii) indoor network densification is detrimental unless full
coordination is implemented; (iii) deploying NeMIMO pays off under strong
outdoor interference, especially for cell-edge users
Dynamic Interference Mitigation for Generalized Partially Connected Quasi-static MIMO Interference Channel
Recent works on MIMO interference channels have shown that interference
alignment can significantly increase the achievable degrees of freedom (DoF) of
the network. However, most of these works have assumed a fully connected
interference graph. In this paper, we investigate how the partial connectivity
can be exploited to enhance system performance in MIMO interference networks.
We propose a novel interference mitigation scheme which introduces constraints
for the signal subspaces of the precoders and decorrelators to mitigate "many"
interference nulling constraints at a cost of "little" freedoms in precoder and
decorrelator design so as to extend the feasibility region of the interference
alignment scheme. Our analysis shows that the proposed algorithm can
significantly increase system DoF in symmetric partially connected MIMO
interference networks. We also compare the performance of the proposed scheme
with various baselines and show via simulations that the proposed algorithms
could achieve significant gain in the system performance of randomly connected
interference networks.Comment: 30 pages, 10 figures, accepted by IEEE Transaction on Signal
