Future cellular networks are expected to provide significantly higher capacity than today's systems. To support this higher capacity a denser deployment might be necessary. An alternative way is to deploy Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) base stations (BSs), called advanced BSs, so that the system capacity is improved without increasing the BSs density. This paper compares Single-Input-Single-Output...

Recently, several works have pointed out the negative impact of intercell interference variation on the performance of link adaptation in multi-cell single input single output (SISO) systems. However, the performance of adaptive precoder selection in multiple input multiple output (MIMO) cellular networks in the presence of interference variation is much less understood. In this paper we develop a...

In this paper, multiple antenna based intercell interference mitigation techniques are studied in the downlink of an OFDM-based cellular radio network. At the base stations, multiple antennas are used for transmit beamforming in order to reduce the intercell interference spatially spread in the network. At the user terminals, multiple receive antennas facilitate implementation of interference rejecting...

The expected performance improvements of next-generation mobile radio access networks (RANs) can be achieved, e.g., by a flexible deployment of different types of radio access points (RAPs), such as intelligent relay nodes (RNs). To facilitate a cost-vs.-performance assessment of different deployment options, this paper presents a classification of different RAN cost components. Then, a method for...

This paper outlines and evaluates a simplified interference model applicable in multi-cell multi-antenna radio network simulations. Based on the path-loss, the model classifies interferers as either strong or weak and the channels of strong interferers together with the channel of the desired signal are accurately modeled using a spatial channel model (SCM). The SCM assures that the spatial signature...

This paper presents and evaluates different multi-antenna deployments in an OFDM wireless system. Two downlink implementations, higher order sectorization (HOS) and downlink SDMA using fixed beams (FB), are considered. HOS with 3-, 6-, and 12-sector sites are compared with downlink FB SDMA in a 3-sector site where each sector is using up to four antennas. In the uplink we evaluate SDMA using multi-antenna...

Future cellular networks are expected to provide significantly higher capacity than today's systems. This might require a denser access point deployment, with a potential increase in network deployment cost as a consequence. A promising way to reduce cost is a multi-hop deployment where wireless relay nodes (RN) are introduced to enhance capacity and coverage. In this paper, a deployment procedure...

In this paper, the impact of transmit antenna separations at the base station on the downlink in a cellular OFDM system with per antenna rate control (PARC) is investigated. For the minimum mean square error (MMSE) with successive interference cancellation (SIC) receiver, the highly correlated interference resulting from closely spaced antennas is more easily suppressed than the independent interference...
