For multi-cell environments, coordinated random beamforming technique in multiuser MIMO(multiple-input multiple-output) broadcast channel is considered. In order to mitigate severe interference at receivers, the multi-cell environments might require complex transmitter and receiver design because the scheduler decision based on full channel state information (CSI) in one cell must be intertwined with decision made by other cells' CSI. With limited CSI, however, this paper considers a scheme of randomizing transmitters' beamforming but being coordinated with other cell transmitters. The transmitters in each cell share random beamforming patterns and schedule data transmission within coherent scheduling period. The corandomized beams allow the users to be selected with the highest SINRs even in multi-cell environments. We analyze the performance of the proposed scheme. And numerical results show that the scheme achieves better performance than the conventional random beamforming when applying to multi-cell environments.

본 논문에서는 협력 빔형성(Coordinated Multi-Point Coordinated Beamforming : CoMP CB) 시나리오에서 인접한 사용자들 때문에 발생되는 간섭(Inter User Interference : IUI)을 제거하기 위해 사용된 Block Diagonal Geometric Mean Decomposition(BD-GMD)기반의 IUI 제거 알고리즘을 Successive Signal to Leakage plus Noise Ratio(SSLNR) 환경에서의 ZF(Zero-Forcing)에 적용하여 누출 전력을 제거한다. 또 IUI 제거 알고리즘을 사용했을 시 문제가 되는 원하는 신호 전력(Desired signal power)의 크기를 크게 보장할 수 없다는 점을 보완하기 위해 적절한 채널 열 순열(Channel ordering)을 수행하여 원하는 신호의 전력을 높인다. IUI 제거 알고리즘 사용과 적절한 채널 열 순열을 통해 기존의 SSLNR-Zero-Forcing Tomlinson Harashima precoding(ZF-THP) 기법보다 더 나은 비트오류확률(Bit Error Rate : BER)성능을 낼 수 있다.
