Network MIMO

Network MIMO concept:

• Cochannel interference mitigation through coordinated Tx/Rx at several base stations.

• Beamforming across base stations helps suppress interference (can combine with DPC/SIC).

In theory, 2-4x gain in spectral efficiency appears possible.

• Depending on SNR, extent of coordination, ratio of users to base station antennas, etc.

Many practical issues to be dealt with before promised gains can be realized.

Collision Avoidance Beamforming (CA-BF)

Collision Avoidance Beamforming (CA-BF)

• beams of neighboring cells are carefully scheduled in coordination to minimize beam collision decreasing intercell interference

• Precoders for beamforming are selected based on the AT’s feedback that counts the links to neighboring cells as well as the link to serving cells

Over 20% forward link system throughput enhancement with the cost of a few more bits of reverse link feedback overheads

CA-BF effectively increases cell edge user throughput without costing system throughput unlike FFR

Opportunistic Spatial Time Multiple Access

OSTMA is a flexible and efficient space-time division multiple access scheme • Improved user performance by the

flexible beam scheduling and power management

• A self-contained backhaul network is enabled via the additional antenna panel

Comparing to the current beamforming systems• Unlike adaptive beamforming,

OSTMA requires no mobility tracking

• Unlike fixed beamforming, OSTMA improves the system performance via the advanced radio resource management

Adaptive Antenna Selection (AAS) for ZF-BF MU-MIMO

Under the limited feedback for ZF-BF MU-MIMO system, the user sum-rate performance becomes saturated even as SINR increases. A TX antenna selection scheme was proposed to cure this problem.

The AAS scheme can also be applied for users with multiple receivers. In this case, a receiver combining scheme is required.

19

ZF-BF MU-MIMO with user cooperation

ZF-BF performs optimally with perfect CSI feedback. An user cooperation scheme in conjunction with ZF-BF could provide better performance under the limited feedback situation.

Detail cooperation procedures including user-clustering algorithm were also described in several NTAH contributions. As we see from the figure beside, since the user selection operation is being done under the user cooperation, the size of CQI feedback can be reduced.

20

Cooperative Communications Through Relays

Cooperative diversity transmission can increase the reliability of the reception

Link throughput can be increased through cooperative spatial multiplexing

Cooperative diversity transmission can be combined with cooperative spatial multiplexing in unified manner

• Trade-off gains: diversity vs. spatial multiplexing

• E.g. More diversity gain in the morning and more spatial multiplexing in the evening

Cooperative transmission between relay and mobile station can further increase the spectral efficiency

21

Peak to Average Power Ration Reduction

Peak transmit power is limited by• Regulations• Interference. both in-band and out-of-band interference are concerned.• Hardware Limitations, especially when the bill of materials and power

consumption are among the major concerns. PAPR reduction in research and standards.

• Known techniques: clipping, coding, PTS, SLM, dynamic PA backoff, single-carrier modulation, etc.

• Relevant standards: GSM, WCDMA, UMB, LTE, etc.

Two PAPR reduction techniques are investigated for regular OFDM.1)PAPR reduction with group-based cyclic delays2)PAPR reduction with subcarrier remapping

Three PAPR reduction schemes are investigated for layer-modulated OFDM1)Rotated Layer Modulation2)PAPR Reduction with Layer-Based Cyclic Delay3)PAPR Reduction with Group-Based Cyclic Delay

22

Precoded OFDM for BCMCS

Enhancements on existing BCMCS are proposed:

• Strictly Backward Compatible (SBC) Mode• OFDM overlayed by Precoded OFDM (P-OFDM)

• Base layer is OFDM-modulated as in existing BCMCS

• Enhancement layer is P-OFDM-modulated, where the symbols are precoded with a spreading matrix, such as Walsh-Hadamard matrix, before OFDM

• Loosely Backward Compatible (LBC) Mode• Layered modulation + P-OFDM

• Loosely Backward Compatible (LBC) Mode (Cont’d)• Quasi-Orthogonal OFDM
