Enhanced Multiuser Eigenmode Transmission for Joint Frequency-Spatial Resource Allocation in OFDM-MIMO Downlink Systems

Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) and multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) are two key technologies adopted in future wireless communication systems, such as LTE/LTE-A. There are many papers addressed the resource allocation problems for OFDM and MIMO systems independently. However few discussions targets on the joint frequency-spatial resource allocation problem, particularly on eigenmode scheduling level. In this paper, we try to propose novel resource allocation schemes on eigenmode selection level, with the joint consideration of precoding problem in spatial domain, eigenmode scheduling and power allocation cross spatial and frequency domains.
