Title
Efficient user selection and generalized beamforming for multi-user MIMO downlink
Abstract
It is difficult to implement optimal beamforming for multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) downlink due to the high complexity. This paper proposes a low complexity generalized beamforming (GBF) scheme combined with an efficient user selection to maximize the weighted sum-rate. For each user, the outputs of the multiple antennas are combined with a receive GBF vector to create an equivalent multiple-input single-output (MISO) effective channel. First, user selection and receive GBF vectors are jointly optimized to construct a group of preferable effective channels. Then, transmit GBF vectors are obtained by zero-forcing over these effective channels. Simulation results show significant gain over currently known suboptimal schemes in various scenarios. ©2008 IEEE.
