Abstract

Arbitrary reference vectors have been adopted in conventional subspace alignment as transmitting vectors at the transmitter side. Inter-cell interference among users can be eliminated using orthogonal vectors to the chosen reference vectors at the receiver side. However, in this case, the sum-rate varies using different reference vectors, even though the channel values remain constant, and vice versa. In this paper, we analyzed the variation of sum-rate corresponding to reference vectors. An optimal reference vector selection algorithm based on subspace interference alignment is proposed to increase multi-cell capacity. The proposed algorithm adopts reference vectors with small variance. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms provide about 50 % higher sum-rate than does the conventional subspace interference alignment algorithm.
