Abstract

In this paper, we propose a scheme called "beam-nulling". In the beam-nulling scheme, the eigenvector of the weakest subchannel is fed back and then signals are sent over a generated subspace orthogonal to the weakest subchannel. Theoretical analysis and numerical results show that the capacity of beam-nulling is closed to the optimal water-filling at medium SNR. Additionally, signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) of MMSE receiver is derived for beam-nulling. Then the associated average bit-error rate (BER) of beam-nulling is given numerically and verified by simulation. Simulation results are provided to compare beam-nulling with beamforming. To improve performance further, beam-nulling is concatenated with linear dispersion code. Simulation results are also provided to evaluate the concatenated scheme beamforming at the same data rate.
