Abstract

The invention discloses a continuous pre-coding and user selection united algorithm for a multi-user MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) broadcast channel. According to the continuous pre-coding and user selection united algorithm for the multi-user MIMO broadcast channel, a normalization projector vector of orthogonal complement space which is formed between all pre-coding vectors which do not select users and all pre-coding vectors which select users is served as a new pre-coding vector of users; user selection is performed according to a signal to interference plus noise ratio of every user; one user is selected at one time until a preset user number is achieved, and accordingly an optimal pre-coding vector of every user is achieved. Compared with the traditional method, the continuous pre-coding and user selection united algorithm for the multi-user MIMO broadcast channel has the advantages of being low in complexity, effectively suppressing multi-user interference, improving channel capacity and effectively improving system performance under the conditions that the number of users if large and the signal to interference plus noise ratio is large.

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of mobile communication, and more specifically relates to a continuous precoding and user selection joint algorithm of a multi-user MIMO broadcast channel. Background technique [0002] Under the multi-user MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output, multiple-input multiple-output) downlink broadcast channel model based on limited feedback, in order to achieve spatial multiplexing and improve data transmission rate, the base station often selects multiple users to communicate at the same time, multi-user MIMO The technology uses the spatial freedom provided by multiple antennas to separate users, each user can occupy the same time-frequency resource, and the average throughput of the cell can be effectively improved through time-frequency resource multiplexing. When the cell load is heavy, a simple multi-user scheduling algorithm can obtain significant multi-user multiplexing gain, which is an effective means to o...

Problems solved by technology

However, the DPC algorithm requires perfect channel estimation at the base station, and the high complexity caused by the full search of all user combinations when selecting users also makes this algorithm unsuitable for practical communication systems

[0004] The other is a genetic and greedy user scheduling algorithm based on continuous ZF (zero forcing) precoding. Although this algorithm reduces the complexity of user scheduling, it still requires the base station to perfectly obtain channel state information.

In addition, an algorithm based on SLNR (Signal to Leakage Plus Noise Ratio, Signal to Leakage Plus Noise Ratio) is proposed, which only requires the user to feed back a limited number of bits to represent channel state information, and maximizes SLNR as the objective function of user scheduling and pre-planning. Coding scheme, this SLNR-based algorithm has the advantages of low complexity and easy implementation, but so far there is no relevant literature to prove that SLNR has a direct relationship with system capacity, so this algorithm cannot maximize system throughput, and in channel estimation In the case of large errors, its performance degrades rapidly

The other is a joint user pairing and precoding algorithm based on SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio) estimation. This algorithm has better performance under the condition of imperfect channel estimation, but it simplifies In the process of precoding vector design, when the first selected user is obtained, the precoding vectors of all other users are determined, and the initial precoding vector direction of other users is not considered, which leads to a part of capacity loss
