ABSTRACT

We consider a cellular network MIMO OFDM system where cooperating base stations apply joint signal processing to the receive signals of several users. In this situation, due to geometry, the problem of unavoidable differences in time of arrival between the users' signals occurs. As a result, symbol timing offsets can be larger than the cyclic prefix, which leads to OFDM inter-symbol interference. In addition to the multiuser interference, a coupling between adjacent subcarriers and consecutive OFDM symbols is induced in such scenarios. In this paper, we analyze the multi-user joint detection performance in systems with distance dependent asynchronous interference and pathloss environments for different channel delays as well as fixed cyclic prefix length. To this end we use an exact expression for the post equalization SINR that is used for the evaluation in numerical simulations. The system level cell setup considers two user positioning models based on a hexagonal cell geometry with varying cell radii.

##### Conference Paper: An Interference Nulling Based Channel Independent Precoding for MIMO-OFDM Systems with Insufficient Cyclic Prefix
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this paper, a channel independent precoding for MIMO-OFDM systems of $n_t$ transmit and $n_r$ receive antennas with insufficient cyclic prefix (CP) is proposed. By empolying the interference alignment (IA) idea, we show that our proposed channel independent precoding scheme can eliminate the inter-block interference (IBI) caused by the insufficient CP with a higher bandwidth efficiency than the conventional zero-padding or adding a sufficient CP when $n_r\leq n_t$. It is also shown that when $n_r>n_t$, the IBI can be eliminated without any zero-padding or adding CP or precoding when the OFDM block length is not small.

##### Conference Paper: On synchronization requirements and performance limitations for CoMP systems in large cells
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We consider coordinated multi-point systems where multiple base stations apply a joint signal processing in the uplink and downlink. Large distances between the base stations result in unavoidable differences in time of arrival between the users' signals which in turn lead to inter-symbol interference in OFDM systems if the cyclic prefix length is exceeded. Moreover, carrier frequency offsets which are caused by imperfect oscillators lead to inter-carrier interference and are in particular a problem in the downlink due to the feedback delay of the measured channel state information. In this paper we derive metrics for evaluating the impact of time and frequency asynchronisms in CoMP systems with large base station distances. We compare performance results for CoMP and single user transmission techniques in a selected transmission scenario where we use a 3GPP/LTE baseline system.

• ##### Conference Paper: A timing synchronization scheme in coordinated base-stations cooperative communications
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Timing synchronization problem in Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) that results from time difference of arrival of users' signals at cooperating base stations is one of the challenges that limits the application of these joint signal processing techniques to scenarios where the inter-site distances between base stations are small. In this paper, we propose a scheme that can solve this problem and can be applied in any scenario. The proposed method is compared to the normal CoMP operation. Simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme is viable to address the timing synchronization problem in CoMP operation.
