Abstract

It is known that Wideband Code-Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) networks are limited by interference more than by any other single effect. Due to the frequency selectivity of the wireless channel, intra-cell interference composed of self-and other-user interference occurs. The intra-cell interference as a result of Transmit Antenna Array (TxAA) HSDPA multi-user transmissions, however, shows a special structure that can be exploited to allow for an efficient interference suppression. The contributions of this article are the following: we (a) propose a suitable system model to derive an intra-cell interference aware Minimum Mean Squared Error (MMSE) equalizer with moderate complexity and investigate its capabilities to suppress the multi-user intra-cell interference, (b) propose solutions to estimate the pre-coding state of the cell both with and without available training, and (c) investigate the resulting throughput performance with physical layer as well as system-level simulations. Our proposed solution can be interpreted as a multi-user extension of the classical MMSE equalizer for HSDPA systems without decoding the undesired users, resulting in only slightly increased complexity.
