SINR degradation in MIMO-OFDM systems with channel estimation errors and partial phase noise compensation

The phase noise effect in multiple-input-multipleoutput systems employing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing is considered in a realistic scenario where the estimated channel matrix is affected by an error. The analytical SINR degradation due to phase noise and channel estimation is obtained for linear receivers (ZF and MMSE)This work is partly funded by the projects "COMONSENS" CSD2008- 00010 and "MULTI-ADAPTIVE" TEC2008-06327-C03-02Publicad

Uplink Multiuser MIMO-OFDM System in the Presence of Phase Noises, Power Imbalance, and Correlation

The effects of phase noises (PNs), power imbalances, and correlations on multiuser orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems are studied. It is assumed that each user is equipped with a single antenna, whereas the base station (BS) has multiple antennas and use zero-forcing (ZF) decoder for multiuser detection. Since each user has an independent oscillator, the received uplink (UL) signal at each BS antenna is corrupted by all of these independent PNs. Furthermore, there may be power imbalances and correlations (due to common scatterers) between different users. These impairments are jointly analyzed in this work. A closed-form expression of the mean square error (MSE) performance of the multiuser MIMO-OFDM system is derived. The analytical results are verified by simulations
