MU-MIMO BC Capacity
Signal Model
Let K users with single antennas are served by a base station with M T antennas. So the total
K
Pk =P
k
and the channel is a flat fading channel, and the signals travel over different vector channels.
Under these assumptions the MIMO BC channel can be modelled as [1]Y =Hx+ n
Where Y=[y1,y2,y3.yk]T is a K 1 vector where each element represents the received
signal by a MS. x=[x1,x2,x3.xk]T is a MT 1 vector where each element represents
the transmitted signal from the BS towards all MS. H is the channel matrix with the
dimension of MR MT where MR is the total number of receiver antenna. In this case MR=K.
Also n=[n1,n2,n3 . nk]T is a K 1 vector that represents Gaussian noise.
It should be noted here if each receivers have multiple receive antennas then the dimensions
of the above equation will be changed accordingly.
Capacity calculation:
The achievable capacity region for MIMO broadcast channels are still an open problem [1]. A
set of achievable region was published first by Caire and Shamai [2] by using Dirty Paper
coding concepts by Costa [3]. A duality between the achievable rate region of BC channels
and multiple access capacity region was published by Vishwanath et Al [4]. From the work of
Yu and Cioffi [5] the achievable rate region of MIMO BC was mentioned as [1]
C BC =
min
max log 2
det ( H R xx H H + R nn)
det ( Rnn )
However, this capacity region is achievable through DPC which in non-linear and very
complex to implement in practical systems. So in practical systems, a less optimal yet easy to
implement linear precoding schemes are used. In this thesis, we used Zero Forcing Precoding
and MMSE precoding techniques to evaluate capacity.
