Abstract

Exploiting block diagonal geometric mean decomposition (BD-GMD) for the multi-user MIMO broadcast channels, each user can achieve identical received SNRs for its subchannels. Thus, equal rate modulation can be applied to each user. Using BD-GMD, we can apply an adaptive modulation to each user with the required bit error rate (BER). In this paper, we propose an adaptive modulation algorithm for the multi-user MIMO broadcast channels with BD-GMD to maximize the system throughput satisfying the required BER performance.
