|---|---|---|
To suppress the co-channel interference in a multi-cell multi-user multiple-input-multiple-output downlink cellular network, a novel interference alignment transceiver beam-forming design along with a low complexity iterative coordinated beam-forming scheme is introduced. While the latter combats the intra-cell interference, the former is utilized to mitigate the inter-cell interference. The proposed schemes consider the codebook-based feedback, which is adopted in the LTE/LTE-advanced systems. Optimal downlink user-specific and cell-specific beam-forming matrices are characterized to maximize the lower bound of expected signal-to-leakage-plus-noise ratio and to minimize the residual inter-cell interference, respectively. Moreover, closed-form expressions for these beam-forming matrices under limited channel state information feedback and in the presence of the quantization error are identified. Simulations are conducted to investigate the performance of the proposed strategy. The results indicate that our scheme can significantly improve the average spectral-efficiency of the underlying network when compared with existing ones where the quantization error is neglected. Furthermore, for a fixed payload size of the codebook, unlike zero-forcing beam-forming in which the sum throughput is bounded as the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) increases, in our scheme, the performance gap between rank 2 feedback and perfect feedback remains approximately constant as SNR increases. |
