Abstract

Recently many practical downlink multi-user MIMO linear pre-coding methods have been proposed, such as the channel inversion method and the block diagonalization method (BD). Considering the channel inversion method based on MMSE criterion (MMSE-CI) which is confined to a single receives antenna case, the BD has more advantages in multiple antennas cases, however, it has poor performance at the low and medium SNR regime on account of no consideration on the noise. In this paper, an improved MMSE pre-coding method is proposed with multi receive antennas of each user. Based on MMSE-CI, the cooperation of multiple antennas is adopted to further suppress the residual interference during designing the pre-coding matrix, which could increase the signal-to- interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) at each user’s receiver. The proposed method obtains a better performance than the MMSE-CI and the BD algorithms, and its effectiveness is validated by both theoretical analyses and numerical simulations.
