Abstract

In this paper, hybrid mode beamforming (HMB) which allows simultaneous transmission of joint beamforming and disjoint beamforming is proposed. HMB is proven to be asymptotically optimal beamforming for sum rate growth. Extensive simulations show that HMB achieves nearly the same performance as joint encoding (JE) in symmetric interference channel. It is also shown that it outperforms JE in a more realistic asymmetric interference channel environment, though it still experiences some performance degradation due to power inefficiency of joint beamforming in asymmetric channel.

본 논문에서는 연계 빔형성과 비연계 빔형성 방법이 동시에 가능한 하이브리드 모드 빔형성 (HMB) 방법을 제안한다. HMB는 점근적으로 합 전송 증가율에 있어서 최적의 빔형성 방법임을 증명한다. 다양한 모의 실험을 통해서 HMB는 대칭 간섭 채널 환경에서 연계 빔형성 방법과 거의 동일한 성능을 달성함을 보인다. 또한, 보다 현실적인 비대칭적 간섭 채널 환경에서는 비대칭 채널 환경에서 연계 빔형성의 전력 비효율성으로 인한 성능의 저하를 갖지만, 연계 빔형성 방법보다는 우수한 성능을 갖는다는 것을 보인다.
