Interference suppression algorithm based R-TDD for multi-user MIMO heterogeneous network

Abstract Aiming at the problem of uplink co-channel interference in multi-user multi-input multi-output (MIMO) heterogeneous network, a reversed time division duplex (R-TDD)-based method is used to improve the performance of interference rejection combining (IRC) algorithm. This method overcomes the difficulty of IRC algorithm in obtaining the interference noise covariance matrix by utilizing the R-TDD transmission scheme. On the premise that the spectrum efficiency is guaranteed, through combining R-TDD with spatial modulation, the transmission complexity is significantly reduced and the uplink co-channel interference is effectively controlled, so as to improve the system performance. Simulation results demonstrate that the R-TDD-based scheme can improve the performance of IRC algorithm in terms of spectrum efficiency.
