Abstract

In this paper, the scheme for designing optimal beamforming matrix for interference control is proposed. The optimal beamforming matrix is found though linear combination of interference alignment conditions and renewal of linear combination coefficient. The proposed scheme has advantages that the complexity is reduced and there is no multiplying operation in matrix calculations even if proposed scheme has the form similar to that of existing least square based scheme. The simulation results show that proposed scheme has about 4bps/Hz higher gain than existing least square scheme. Also there is no additional multiplying calculation and increase of matrix size when the number of transmit and receive antennas is increased.

본 논문에서는 간섭을 정렬시키는 조건을 선형 결합하고 채널과 빔형성 벡터로 행렬화하여 간섭을 제어하고자 한다. 또한 선형 결합 계수를 갱신함으로써 최적의 빔형성 벡터를 찾고자 한다. 이는 기존의 최소 제곱 기반의 간섭 정렬과 비슷한 형태를 가지지만 행렬화하는 과정을 단순화시켜 곱셈 연산을 없앴기 때문에 직관적으로도 충분히 해결할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 모의실험 결과 제안하는 기법이 기존의 최소 제곱 기반의 간섭 정렬 기법보다 4bps/Hz정도의 이득을 가졌으며, 송수신 안테나 수가 증가하여도 이에 따른 행렬의 크기가 기존 기법보다 줄어들기 때문에 곱셈 연산이 증가하지 않아 복잡도가 낮아짐을 확인하였다.
