- Abstract
- In this paper, we propose a generalized minimum mean square error (MMSE) beamforming for downlink multicell multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with local BS cooperations. Unlike the previous beamforming strategies which have been designed for an idealized multicell MIMO system model, we consider a complicated but realistic multicell MIMO system model. Our realistic multicell MIMO system model captures (i) different average SNRs of users due to random geometrical distribution of users within cells, (ii) channel feedback latency due to air propagation time and signal processing time, and (iii) different channel aging effects for intracell channel information and intercell channel information due to an additional backhaul latency during the exchange of information between pairs of neighboring cells. The key novelty of this paper is that we derive the closed-form beamforming expressions of the generalized MMSE beamforming using convex optimization technique. The closed-form beamforming expression gives insights on how the geometry of users and channel feedback latency affect the construction of optimal beamforming vectors. Numerical results verify that the proposed generalized MMSE beamforming outperforms previous beamforming strategies in both BER and average throughput performances.
