Downlink multi-user interference alignment in compound MIMO-X channels

Abstract

In this paper, we elaborated on a new interference alignment technique for downlink multi-user system in a MIMO-X channel with multiple antennas. We considered two transmitters, each equipped with M antennas, and L users, each equipped with K antennas. Here, we consider a MIMO-X scenario that some users are receiving transmissions from both transmitters. The proposed approach is focused on rank-1 transmission to each user while each transmitter only needs to know the CSI for its serving users and each user only needs to know its corresponding channels to the transmitters.
