Method of communicating between base station and terminal based on interference alignment in multi-cell multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) interference channel and method and apparatus of communication using interference alignment and block successive interference pre-cancellation in multi-user multiple-input multiple-output interference channel

摘要

A communication method of a base station and a terminal based on interference alignment in a multi-cell multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) interference channel and a method and apparatus of communication using interference alignment and block successive interference pre-cancellation in a multi-user MIMO interference channel. The base station may determine a precoding matrix to maximize a signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) and a signal to leakage and noise ratio (SLNR) in the interference channel, and a terminal communicating with the base station may determine a decoding matrix to align interference. The transmitter including a multicell interference channel may calculate a rotation matrix for interference alignment, identify effective symbol vectors using the rotation matrix, and generate a transmit signal of a target transmitter to pre-cancel interference corresponding to a transmit signal of a neighboring transmitter.
