Title
Cooperative Inter-cell Interference Mitigation Scheme with Downlink MU-MIMO Beamforming for Dense Wireless LAN Environment
Abstract
Abstract A cooperative inter-cell interference (ICI) mitigation scheme with transmit beamforming for dense wireless LAN systems is proposed. The proposed scheme applies transmit beamforming used for downlink multiuser MIMO in order to mitigate the effect of ICI and selectively determines whether an access point (AP) performs null beamforming for each station (STA) in overlapping basic service sets (OBSSs) according to the ICI power. Null beamforming is used to suppress ICI if its power exceeds a threshold, otherwise, it is not carried out and the transmit antenna is used to obtain a diversity gain for STAs associated with the AP. Computer simulations confirm that the achievable rate obtained with the proposed scheme is superior to that obtained with either time resource sharing or conventional ICI mitigation in an OBSS environment.
