On the Value of Coherent and Coordinated Multi-point Transmission Antti Tölli, Harri Pennanen and Petri Komulainen atolli@ee.oulu.fi Centre for Wireless Communications University of Oulu December 4, 2008

Motivation Conventional cellular systems are interference limited In-cell users are processed independently by each base station (BS) Other users are treated as inter-cell interference Interference mitigated by sharing and reusing available resources Coordinated multi-point transmission (CoMP) with multi-user precoding Increased spatial degrees of freedom in a multi-user MIMO channel A system with N distributed antennas can ideally accommodate up to N streams Inter-stream interference can be controlled or eliminated by a proper beamformer design. Coherent multi-cell MIMO: user data transmitted over a large virtual MIMO channel

Coordinated Multi-point Transmission Distributed antenna system based on, e.g. Radio over Fibre (RoF) Capability of joint control of the signals at multiple cells BS BS BS Fibre Fibre BS Distributed BS antennas Backbone network Fibre BS Fibre Fibre BS BS Fibre

Coordinated Multi-point Transmission Complete channel state information (CSI) of all jointly processed links (ideally) needed Centralised RRM mechanisms to perform scheduling and precoding Coherent multi-cell transmission Each data stream may be transmitted from multiple nodes Tight synchronisation across the transmitting nodes (common phase reference) A high-speed backbone network, e.g. Radio over Fibre Non-coherent multi-cell processing Dynamic multi-cell scheduling and inter-cell interference avoidance Coordinated precoder design and beam allocation Each data stream is transmitted from a single BS node No carrier phase coherence requirement Looser requirement on the coordination and the backhaul

Linear transceiver design A generalised method for joint design of linear transceivers with Coordinated multi-cell processing Per-BS or per-antenna power constraints Subject to various optimisation criteria The proposed method [1] can accommodate any scenario between Coherent multi-cell beamforming across virtual MIMO channel Single-cell beamforming with inter-cell interference coordination and beam allocation The presented methods require a complete CSI between all pairs of users and BSs The solution represent an upper bound for the less ideal solutions with an incomplete CSI.

System Model Coordinated multi-cell MIMO system: NB BSs, N T TX antennas per BS and N Rk RX antennas per user k A user k is served by Mk BSs from the joint processing set B k, B k B = {1,..., N B } y k = X b B a b,k H b,k x b + n k (1) = X X X a b,k H b,k x b,k + a b,k H b,k b B k b B k i k X + a b,k H b,k x b + n k b B\B k ab,k H b,k C N R k N T channel from BS b to user k x b C N T total TX signal from BS b, and x b,k = M b,k d k C N T transmitted data vector from BS b to user k, where M b,k C N T m k pre-coding matrix, d k = [d 1,k,..., d mk,k] T vector of normalised data symbols, m k min(n TM k, N Rk ) number of active data streams. x b,i

Linear Transceiver Design Per data stream processing: N B BS transmitters send S independent streams, S min(n B N T, k U N R k ) For each data stream s, scheduler associates a user k s, with the channel matrices H b,ks, b B s. In some special cases B s B ks. For example, a user may receive data from several BSs, while B s = 1 s.

Conclusions A generalised method for joint design of linear transceivers with Coordinated multi-cell processing Per-BS or per-antenna power constraints Optimisation objective: weighted SINR blancing The proposed method can accommodate any scenario between Coherent multi-cell beamforming across virtual MIMO channel Single-cell beamforming with inter-cell interference coordination and beam allocation Upper bound for the less ideal solutions with an incomplete CSI. The coherent multi-cell beamforming greatly outperforms the non-coherent cases, Especially at the cell edge and with a full spatial load. However, the coordinated single-cell transmission with interference avoidance and dynamic beam allocation performs considerably well with a partial spatial loading.
