一种改进的多用户下行MIM0系统用户选择算法

为了克服多用户下行MIMO系统采用迫零波束成形算法时基站天线的数目要大于等于所有同时工作的用户接收天线的数目之和的缺点,丈中提出了一种改进的多用户下行MIMO系统用户选择算法。该算法具有较低的算法复杂度,性能优于常规的基于贪婪算法的用户选择方法。     

利用有向图实现多用户下行多天线系统的用户选择

在多用户下行多天线系统中,基站可利用信道状态信息将独立的数据流同时发送到多个用户以得到更高的信道容量.由于在实际系统中基站很难实时得到各用户的完全信道状态信息,可以基于有限的信道反馈量进行用户选择来提高系统的和速率.提出了一种部分信道状态信息下利用有向图实现多用户下行多天线系统用户选择的算法.该算法将用户选择的问题变成了在有向图中寻找闭合环的问题,可以大幅度降低用户选择的复杂度;克服了常规的随机波束成形算法只有在用户数非常多的时候才能有效工作的弱点,在用户数少或中等的时候能得到比其更好的性能.因此该算法更适合在实际系统中应用.     

基于联合用户分组及天线选择的大规模MIMO波束成形

大规模MIMO系统中,当小区用户数与基站天线数较大时,各用户的信道条件不尽相同,提出一种适用于大规模MIMO下行链路的基于联合用户分组及天线选择的迫零波束成形算法。将用户分成两组,选择信道条件较优的一组用户来接收信号,并为每一个发送数据流选择最优的基站天线组合进行通信,以较小的性能损失,换取大规模MIMO 射频电路的成本与功耗的大幅度降低。仿真结果证明,该算法能够较好地实现系统性能与硬件复杂度的折中。     

改进的下行MIMO随机波束赋形算法

现有多输入多输出(MIMO)技术中,用户通常选择采用随机波束赋形(RBF)方法,而在用户数较少时,RBF会因为用户信道与发送信道不能准确匹配而使系统吞吐量下降.本文提出了一种改进的随机波束赋形用户选择策略.首先,中心基站发送信道检测信号,然后在用户端进行信道检测与匹配,按照本文提出的矫正算法反馈信道信息,最后基站根据信道反馈信息向用户发送数据.用户选择的判断标准不再是用户信道和随机发射波束的匹配,而改为用户信道校正后的等效信道与随机发射波束的匹配,这样减少了通信中天线间信号干扰,系统性能得到改善.仿真结果表明:与现有的MIMO用户选择策略相比,本文提出的方法在不明显增加运算复杂度的前提下,提高了发送波束与传输信道的匹配,系统吞吐量得到了提高.     

协同MIMO系统中的自适应用户数选择算法研究

提出了一种在协同多入多出(Co-MIMO,collaborative MIMO)系统中的自适应用户数选择算法.基站向调度器报告各个移动台从本基站接收到的信号、干扰及噪声功率,调度器据此计算各个基站支持用户数的最佳方案,反馈给相应的基站.自适应方案根据信道的变换灵活改变基站和移动台之间的从属关系,达到有效降低小区边缘用户的小区间干扰、优化小区边缘系统容量的目的.仿真结果证明了在发射端多用户预编码下自适应支持用户数选择算法相对于支持固定用户数的优势.     

分布式MIMO系统发送天线选择与预编码联合设计

为了抑制多用户分布式多入多出(MIMO)系统中的同道干扰(CCI),使系统同时服务于更多用户,提出一种发送天线选择与预编码的联合设计方法。该方法立足于分布式MIMO系统基站端天线较多的特点,将下行发送天线选择与信漏噪比(SLNR)预编码相结合,通过为用户选择不同天线,从根本上减少CCI;在为每个用户选择天线时,先以信道子矩阵的迹为依据进行端口选择,再采用逐减的方法选择使SLNR损失值最小的天线,以保证每个用户对其他用户的干扰尽量小,从而达到进一步抑制CCI的目的。复杂度分析和仿真结果表明,该方法在具有较低复杂度同时,其容量性能仍可逼近最优算法;较之单纯的SLNR预编码,在相同的容量性能约束下,其能够有效增加系统同时服务的用户数。     

MU-MIMO系统下行链路中的自适应用户调度算法

在多用户MIMO系统下行链路中,经典的半正交用户调度算法(SUS)难以控制备选用户的门限参数值,且该算法没有考虑QOS对时延的要求。为此,提出一种自适应用户调度算法(AUS),在其调度过程中根据备选用户数及基站端天线数动态改变门限参数值,同时将用户最大时延限制作为用户选择准则的权重。仿真结果表明,与其他算法比,该算法提高了系统吞吐率,在加权用户选择准则时最大可减少24%的平均时延。     

蜂窝通信系统中天线选择在虚拟MIMO的应用

天线选择技术(AS)和虚拟MIMO(Virtual MIMO,VMIMO)技术都被广泛应用于只有一个无线射频(RF)模块的上行通信传输中。为了使两者的优势都得以发挥,该文提出将天线选择技术应用在虚拟MIMO系统中,该文中称作VMIMO-AS系统。然而,仅从被调度用户设备(User Equipment,UE)中选择最好的天线组成虚拟MIMO并不能确保系统获得最佳的性能。该文提出了VMIMO-AS系统中几种不同用户设备配对算法,并对这些算法就吞吐量性能和用户间公平度进行了比较。仿真结果表明第1个用户的选择需要应用AS原则,而考虑到复杂度和性能的折中,配对用户的选择则不需要应用AS原则。     

LTE-Advanced上行虚拟MIMO系统用户配对算法研究

LTE引入了虚拟MIMO技术来解决终端天线数目较少的问题。用户配对是进行虚拟MIMO传输的重要环节,传统的配对算法只进行两用户配对,但在LTE-Advanced中,由于基站端最多支持8根发送天线,因此可以进行多用户虚拟MI-MO传输。文章提出了根据传输速率进行自适应用户配对数量选择的算法,并提出最低配对调制编码方案的概念,从而能在保证边缘用户吞吐量的基础上提升系统平均性能。     

多用户MIMO系统在有限反馈下结合预编码与调度算法的研究

捅要：研究了多用户多输入多输出（MIMO）系统在有限反馈下的一种结合单位预编码与用户调度算法的方案。在该系统中每一用户都具有多个接收天线,该方案具有较大的多用户分集增益和较小的计算复杂度,从而能够减少系统中的用户间干扰。每个用户独立地决定自己的天线合并矢量,并将最优波束矢量以及对应的估计信干噪比通过有限反馈信道反馈给基站,此时基站获取了相应的用户信道信息和用户间干扰信息。基于接收到的反馈信息,基站从预定义的码本中选取和速率最大的最优子集进行系统预编码,然后依照预编码矩阵调度欧氏距离最小的用户且用户个数不超过发送天线的数目。仿真结果显示该方案有效地改善了系统速率,特别是在用户数目较多或者信道环境较好的情况下。     

回传链路容量受限条件下分布式大规模MIMO系统的联合用户调度及天线选择(英文)

Massive MIMO systems offer a high spatial resolution that can drastically increase the spectral and/or energy efficiency by employing a large number of antennas at the base station(BS).In a distributed massive MIMO system,the capacity of fiber backhaul that links base station and remote radio heads is usually limited,which becomes a bottleneck for realizing the potential performance gain of both downlink and uplink.To solve this problem,we propose a joint antenna selection and user scheduling which is able to achieve a large portion of the potential gain provided by the massive MIMO array with only limited backhaul capacity.Three sub-optimal iterative algorithms with the objective of sumrate maximization are proposed for the joint optimization of antenna selection and user scheduling,either based on greedy fashion or Frobenius-norm criteria.Convergence and complexity analysis are presented for the algorithms.The provided Monte Carlo simulations show that,one of our algorithms achieves a good tradeoff between complexity and performance and thus is especially fit for massive MIMO systems.     

User Selection Algorithms for MU‐MIMO Systems with Coordinated Beamforming

In this paper, we propose two novel user selection algorithms for multiuser multiple‐input and multiple‐output downlink wireless systems, in which both a base station (BS) and mobile stations (MSs) are equipped with multiple antennas. Linear transmit beamforming at the BS and receive combining at the MSs are used to avoid interference between users and find a better sum‐rate capacity performance. An optimal technique for selecting users would entail an exhaustive search, which in practice becomes computationally complex for a realistic number of users. Suboptimal algorithms with low complexity are proposed for a coordinated beamforming scheme. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed algorithms is better than that provided by previous algorithms and is very close to an optimal approach with reduced complexity.     

Downlink scheduling of multiuser MIMO systems with transmit beamforming

This article deals with downlink scheduling for multiuser multiple-input multiple-output （MIMO） systems, where the base station communicates with multiple users simultaneously through transmit beamforming. Most of the existing transmission schemes for multiuser MIMO systems focus on optimizing sum rate performance of the system. The individual quality of service （QoS） requirements （such as packet delay and minimum transmission rate for the data traffic） are rarely considered. In this article, a novel scheduling strategy is proposed, where we try to optimize the global system performance under individual QoS constraints. By performing scheduling into two steps, namely successive user selection and power allocation, the scheduler can achieve efficient resource utilization while maintaining the QoS requirements of all users. Extensive simulations and analysis are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed scheduler.     

SINR loss and user selection in massive MU‐MISO systems with ZFBF

Separating highly correlated users can reduce the loss caused by spatial correlation (SC) in multiuser multiple‐input multiple‐output (MU‐MIMO) systems. However, few accurate analyses of the loss caused by SC have been conducted. In this study, we define signal‐to‐interference‐plus‐noise ratio (SINR) loss to characterize it in multiuser multiple‐input single‐output (MU‐MISO) systems, and use coefficient of correlation (CoC) to describe the SC between users. A formula is deduced to show the accurate relation between SINR loss and CoC. Based on this relation, we propose a user selection method that utilizes CoC to minimize the average SINR loss of users in massive MU‐MISO systems. Simulation results verify the correctness of the relation and show that the proposed user selection method is very effective at reducing the loss caused by SC in massive MU‐MISO systems.

Performance Analysis of Multiuser Diversity in MIMO Systems with Antenna Selection

In this paper, a framework is presented to analyze the performance of multiuser diversity (MUD) in multiuser point-to-multipoint (PMP) MIMO systems with antenna selection. Based on this framework, the tight closed-form expressions of outage capacity and average symbol error rate are derived for the multiuser transmit antenna selection with maximal-ratio combining (TAS/MRC) system, by which we show how and with what characteristics antenna selection gains, MIMO antenna configurations and fading gains impact on the system performance, with an emphasis on the study of multiuser diversity influence. From both theoretical and simulation results, our study shows that in multiuser PMP TAS/MRC systems an diversity order equals to the product of the number of transmit antennas, number of receive antennas and number of users can be achieved; what's more, users plays a key role in the system performance and can be viewed as equivalent 'virtual" transmit antennas, which is the source of the multiuser diversity inherent exists in the multiuser system. This kind of diversity can be efficiently extracted in the design of multiantenna systems.     

Performance Analysis of Scheduling in Multiuser MIMO Systems with Zero-Forcing Receivers

Despite its low-complexity, the zero-forcing receiver is known to suffer from noise enhancement to restore the spatially multiplexed data in a single-user MI MO system. Nevertheless, in the multiuser system, the poor-channel avoidance property of the scheduling technique provides a natural way to overcome the drawback of noise enhancement (Heath et al., 2001). In this paper, we present an analytical framework to evaluate the performance of the zero-forcing receiver operating in the multiuser MIMO system with user scheduling. Using the order statistics technique, we derive closed-form expressions for the sum-rate capacity of the multiuser MIMO system that employs the simple spatial multiplexing at the transmitter and zero-forcing processing at the receiver with a number of scheduling algorithms. These closed-form expressions hold for an arbitrary finite number of users and facilitate efficient numerical evaluations for cases of practical interest. In addition, the tractable analysis provides insight into how the scheduling technique affects the performance of the multiuser MIMO system under scalar feedback and vector feedback. The results are also extended to the case of heterogonous users with unequal average SNR.
