Abstract
In conventional cellular network systems, the cell edge users are vulnerable to interference from neighboring cells. In order to deal with this problem, coordinate multipoint transmission/reception(CoMP) has been proposed in LTE-A system. Yet, in recent years, multiuser multiple- input-multiple output (MU-MIMO) has been well developed. The MU-MIMO technique allows the simultaneous transmission of multiple user signals in the same time at the same frequency band, and hence enhances the system performance effectively. Thus, LTE-A tries to integrate MU-MIMO and CoMP hoping for better peak data rate and higher spectrum efficiency. This thesis aims to investigate intra-site MU CoMP joint processing (JP) techniques. We propose a new antenna-selection-based JP method that can better use the system resource and reduce the feedback overhead. Thanks to the antenna selection technique, we can translate a multipoint CoMP problem to a virtual single-point CoMP problem such that the existing single-point MU-MIMO technique can be directly applied. Numerical results show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional approach and at the same time requires less feedback overhead.
