Achievable Rates for Multicell Systems with Femtocells and Network MIMO

چکیده
1The uplink of a cellular system where macrocells are overlaid with femtocells is studied. Each femtocell is served by a home base station (HBS) that is connected to the macrocell base station (BS) via a last-mile access link, such as DSL or cable followed by the Internet. Decoding at the BSs takes place via either standard single-cell processing or multicell processing (i.e., network MIMO). Closed and open-access femtocells are considered. Achievable per-cell sum-rates are derived in this setting for a linear cellular network. Overall, the analysis lends evidence to the performance advantages of open-access femtocells and sheds light on the performance trade-offs between single/multicell processing and different relaying strategies at the femtocells.

A cellular system where macrocells are overlaid with femtocells is studied. Each femtocell is served by a home base station (HBS) that is connected to the macrocell base station (BS) via an unreliable network access link, such as DSL followed by the Internet. A scenario with a single macrocell and a single femtocell is studied first, and is then extended to include multiple macrocells and femto...

In this paper, the downlink of a typical massive MIMO system is studied when each base station is composed of three antenna arrays with directional antenna elements serving 120◦ of the two-dimensional space. A lower bound for the achievable rate is provided. Furthermore, a power optimization problem is formulated and as a result, centralized and decentralized power allocation schemes are propos...
متن کاملThesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Base Station Coordination in Multicell MIMO Networks
The use of multi-antenna technology, also referred to as multiple-input multipleoutput (MIMO), has been shown to improve both the achievable data rates and the link reliability in single-cell wireless systems without a need for extra power or bandwidth. The promised gains of MIMO techniques are, however, severely degraded in a multicell environment due to the presence of intercell interference,...

To increase the average achievable rates per user for cluster-edge users, a rotating clustering scheme for the downlink of a coordinated multicell multiuser multiple-input multiple-output system is proposed in this paper and analyzed in two network layouts. In the multicell heterogeneous cellular network, base stations of a cluster cooperate to transmit data signals to the users within the clus...

Multicell cooperation has been identified as one of the underlying principles for future wireless communication systems. This paper studies the benefits of multicell cooperation in broadcast TV network from an information theoretical perspective. We define outage capacity as the figure of merit and derive the broadcast coverage area to evaluate such system. Specifically, we calculate the broadc...
