摘要:

我们提出了一种小区边缘感知(CEA)迫零(ZF)预编码器,其利用由大量基站(BS)天线提供的多余空间自由度来抑制最脆弱的用户设备(UE)处的小区间干扰。我们评估的下行链路性能的CEA-ZF,以及传统的小区边缘不知道(CEU)ZF预编码器在网络中与随机基站拓扑结构。我们的分析和仿真表明,所提出的CEA-ZF预编码器在以下方面优于CEU-ZF预编码:(i)聚合每小区数据率,(ii)覆盖概率,以及(iii)95%可能性或边缘用户速率。特别地,当完美的信道状态信息和大量天线N在BS处可用时,我们证明了CEA-ZF和CEU-ZF下的中断概率分别衰减为1/N^2和1/N。这一结果表明CEA-ZF是大规模MIMO蜂窝网络的一种更有效的预编码方案。我们的框架还揭示了调度每个BS的UE的最佳数量的重要性,并确认了控制在信道估计阶段期间接收的导频污染量的必要性。

英文摘要:

We propose a cell-edge-aware (CEA) zero forcing (ZF) precoder that exploits the excess spatial degrees of freedom provided by a large number of base station (BS) antennas to suppress inter-cell interference at the most vulnerable user equipments (UEs). We evaluate the downlink performance of CEA-ZF, as well as that of a conventional cell-edge-unaware (CEU) ZF precoder in a network with random base station topology. Our analysis and simulations show that the proposed CEA-ZF precoder outperforms CEU-ZF precoding in terms of (i) aggregate per-cell data rate, (ii) coverage probability, and (iii) 95%-likely, or edge user, rate. In particular, when both perfect channel state information and a large number of antennas N are available at the BSs, we demonstrate that the outage probability under CEA-ZF and CEU-ZF decay as 1/N^2 and 1/N, respectively. This result identifies CEA-ZF as a more effective precoding scheme for massive MIMO cellular networks. Our framework also reveals the importance of scheduling the optimal number of UEs per BS, and confirms the necessity to control the amount of pilot contamination received during the channel estimation phase.
