大尺度信干比共享下的基站协作干扰协调

在基于正交频分多址接入(OFDMA)技术的蜂窝移动小区中,小区间的干扰是影响系统性能的主要因素。多点协调(CoMP)技术被视为能够协调小区间干扰的主要手段。在下行多点协作传输系统中,小区基站采用三向天线来对小区划分扇区,从而消除了相邻小区边缘处的干扰。各扇区分别计算扇区内用户的大尺度信干比(SIR),小区之间通过共享大尺度信干比信息,对各自服务的用户按照一定的规则进行匹配,对小区中心用户的SIR和边缘用户的SIR进行了折中,从而有效解决小区边缘用户由于小区间干扰带来的低信干噪比(SINR)问题。仿真结果表明,本文提出的用户匹配算法以较小的反馈开销,较大的提高了小区边缘用户的信干噪比和系统吞吐量。

Research on uplink coordinated transmission schemes in LTE-advanced systems

The investigation of inter-cell interference mitigation techniques is a key area in wireless communications.Coordinated multiple points(CoMP) transmission/reception is a candidate technique for interference cancellation in 3GPP LTE-Advanced system.However,the coordination scheme in CoMP remains a key research problem to be solved,which will have a strong influence on the performance of CoMP.In this paper,a novel coordinated transmission scheme is proposed for the uplink LTE-Advanced system.In our scheme,several base transceiver stations(BTS) and users are selected as coordination partners which form a CoMP cluster.Joint processing is used at the receiver to mitigate interference.From the perspective of coordinated partner selection,our scheme can be divided into static and dynamic coordination which are both considered to fully exploit the throughput gain of CoMP.The proposed schemes are evaluated by system level simulation and compared with the conventional LTE system based upon single cell processing.Our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed schemes attain superior performance as opposed to the conventional system in terms of cell average and cell edge throughput.     

A new C-RAN architecture based on RF signal soft-switching

Coordinated multi-point (CoMP) is known to be one of the key technologies for long-term evolution (LTE)-advanced systems. CoMP technology can improve system capacity and the quality of wireless communication services for users in LTE networks. However, in practice, the actual performance of CoMP technology is limited by the switching capacity of the backhaul network among distributed base stations as well as its latencies. In this paper, we propose a new cloud radio access network architecture based on RF signal soft-switching to solve this problem. Furthermore, we introduce a narrow-band parallel processing technique on a common public radio interface in downlink and uplink to reduce the volume of data as well as the latencies in the transmission process among base band units and remote radio units. By combining theoretical analysis with computer simulations, we show that the technique is valid both for downlink and uplink, i.e., it does not degrade the performance of downlink and uplink propagation between BBU pool and user equipments. Moreover, the computational time of the narrow-band parallel processing technique is less than that of the standard technique.     

Energy‐efficient cluster division for multi‐cell joint transmission technology

Coordinated Multi‐Point (CoMP) is an effective way to improve user performance in next‐generation wireless cellular networks, such as 3GPP LTE‐Advanced(LTE‐A). The base station cooperation can reduce interference, and increase the signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) of cell‐edge users and improve the system capacity. However, the base station cooperation also adds additional power consumption for signal processing and sharing information through back‐haul links between cooperative base stations. As such, CoMP may potentially consume more energy. This paper studies such energy consumption issue in CoMP, presents a semi‐dynamic CoMP cluster division algorithm based on energy efficiency (SCCD‐EE) that can effectively adapt to users' real‐time interference, and employs the idea of Maximal Independent Set (MIS) to solve the problem of cluster overlapping. To verify the feasibility of the proposed algorithm, this paper performs comprehensive evaluations in terms of energy efficiency and system capacity. The simulation results show that the proposed semi‐dynamic cluster division algorithm can not only improve the system capacity and the quality of service (QoS) of cell‐edge users, but also achieve higher network energy efficiency compared with static cluster methods and Non‐CoMP approaches.

Low-complexity SAGE-based MMSE channel estimation for CoMP multi-user systems

Coordinated multiple point(CoMP) transmission/reception has been investigated recently as a promising technology to increase the cell-edge user performance of long term evolution-advanced(LTE-A),and channel estimation is a crucial technology for CoMP systems.In this paper,we consider a reduced-complexity minimum mean square error(MMSE) channel estimator for CoMP systems.The estimator uses space alternating generalized expectation maximization(EM)(SAGE) algorithm to avoid the inverse operation of the joint MMSE estimator.In the proposed scheme,the base stations(BSs) in the CoMP system estimate the channels of all the coordinated users serially and iteratively.We derive the SAGE-based estimators and analyze complexity.Simulation results verify that the performance of the proposed algorithm is close to the joint MMSE estimation algorithm while reducing the complexity greatly.
