Abstract

We consider an innovative downlink multiuser MIMO scheme. Several users compete for the available resources in time, frequency and space. The proposed scheme exploits multiuser diversity and uses interference cancellation at the transmitter. We evaluate it for indoor, hot spot and multihop scenarios. Significant gains in terms of sum capacity can be achieved even under line of sight conditions. The theoretical limit can be approximately achieved in most scenarios. A nice feature of the proposed scheme is that it inherently provides some fairness regarding rate distribution among users even though fairness is not explicitly taken into account by the scheduler.
