1Object-affected harmful factors
If block diagonalization method is used for MU-MIMO precoding, then inter-user interference is eliminated and receiver configuration is simplified, but transmission beam formation for improving received SNR cannot always be formed due to consumption of array degree of freedom for null steering
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes the parameter of precoding method from block diagonalization to block triangulation. This parameter change allows the system to maintain null steering for inter-user interference elimination while preserving array degree of freedom for transmission beam formation, thereby improving received SNR without sacrificing interference elimination capability
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces dynamic adjustment of the number of transmission streams based on channel conditions and array degree of freedom availability. The base station dynamically determines the optimal number of streams to balance null steering requirements with beam formation capabilities, adapting to changing environmental conditions
2Productivity
If the number of spatially multiplexed streams is increased in MU-MIMO, then frequency utilization efficiency is improved, but inter-user interference between transmission signals to respective users becomes more noticeable
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes the precoding parameter from block diagonalization to block triangulation, which enables higher spatial multiplexing orders while controlling inter-user interference through more efficient null steering that preserves array degree of freedom
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs feedback mechanisms where the base station determines the optimal number of transmission streams based on channel state information and array degree of freedom availability, adjusting the multiplexing order dynamically to balance frequency utilization efficiency with interference management
3Reliability
If block triangulation method is used instead of block diagonalization, then array degree of freedom is preserved for transmission beam formation and received SNR is improved, but the calculation complexity for determining optimal number of streams increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention applies partial action by determining the number of transmission streams based on a calculated threshold value rather than optimizing all possible parameters. This reduces calculation complexity while still achieving the benefit of preserved array degree of freedom and improved SNR through block triangulation
