Energy efficiency (EE) is fast becoming a key performance indicator for designing future wireless communication systems. Equally, precoding/power allocation has proved to be very effective for improving the spectral efficiency (SE) of multi-user (MU) multi-input multi-output (MIMO) communication systems. In a multi-cell environment, other-cell interference (OCI) degrades both the SE and EE performances...
Optimization in mobile communications has mostly been performed based on spectral efficiency (SE). However, energy efficiency (EE) is fast becoming a key performance indicator, together with SE for designing future networks. In multi-cell communications, other-cell interference (OCI) coming from neighboring cells degrades both the SE and EE performances of the system. This paper presents an energy...
In multi-cell communication, users close to the cell boundaries tend to suffer interferences from other-cell users. Other-Cell Interference (OCI) coming from neighbouring cells considerably degrades the overall performance of the system. In this paper, we propose a precoding scheme for the multi-user multi-input multi-output (MIMO) downlink based on the regularized channel inversion algorithm to mitigate...
Because of its simplicity, amplify-and-forward (AF) is one of the most popular cooperative relaying technique. Relays are used in cooperative communication to improve reliability, coverage or spectral efficiency of cell-edge users. However, relays tend to increase the interferences seen by users of adjacent cells, particularly by the cell-edge users, when used in multi-cell systems. In this paper,...
It is well-established that transmitting at full power is the most spectral-efficient power allocation strategy for point-to-point (P2P) multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems, however, can this strategy be energy efficient as well? In this letter, we address the most energy-efficient power allocation policy for symmetric P2P MIMO systems by accurately approximating in closed-form their optimal transmit...
Cooperative communication is an effective approach for increasing the spectral efficiency and/or the coverage of cellular networks as well as reducing the cost of network deployment. However, it remains to be seen how energy efficient it is. In this paper, we assess the energy efficiency of the conventional Amplifyand- forward (AF) scheme in an in-building relaying scenario. This scenario simplifies...
