針對個用戶MIMO干擾信道（IC），研究基于分布式空時干擾對齊（DSTIA）的信道可達自由度。利用分布式當前和過期發(fā)射端信道狀態(tài)信息（CSIT）設計預編碼，分別給出MISO系統(tǒng)可達自由度關于CSI反饋時延和反饋頻率的折中域；分析發(fā)射端天線數對MISO系統(tǒng)可達自由度的影響，導出逼近系統(tǒng)自由度外界的條件。進一步研究MIMO系統(tǒng)接收端天線數對系統(tǒng)自由度的影響，給出保持系統(tǒng)可達自由度的CSI反饋時延范圍。理論和數值分析表明，所提DSTIA方案能充分消除用戶間干擾，獲得更高的自由度增益，縮小可達界與外界的差距，提高系統(tǒng)的可達速率。

1 引言

2 系統(tǒng)模型

2.1 K個用戶MIMO IC模型

個用戶MIMO IC可看成是多小區(qū)蜂窩鏈路間干擾的抽象。例如，個用戶MISO IC是個鄰近小區(qū)下行鏈路用戶間干擾的抽象。如圖1所示，個用戶MIMO IC由對發(fā)射—接收節(jié)點組成。發(fā)射端配置根天線，接收端配置根天線，。每個發(fā)射端僅向相應的接收端發(fā)送單一信息。其信號模型為

圖1 K個用戶MIMO IC模型

2.2 CSI反饋模型

假設接收端（用戶）執(zhí)行預定的周期性反饋協(xié)議將CSI反饋給發(fā)射端。周期性反饋協(xié)議可以通過控制信號實現(xiàn)，適用于當前主流的蜂窩移動通信標準，如3GPP LTE[22]。分別考慮2個導致CSIT時延的因素——反饋時延和反饋頻率[1]。

其中，為瞬時（instantaneous）CSIT；為適當延時（temperately-delayed）CSIT；為完全延時（completely-delayed）CSIT。發(fā)射端在時隙可用的本地CSI記為，這里，。因此，發(fā)射端的發(fā)送信號向量可看作是發(fā)送信息與本地延時CSIT的函數，即，為發(fā)射端的預編碼函數。

2.3 自由度

相應地，個用戶MIMO IC在本地CSIT下的總自由度定義為

3 K個用戶MISOIC的自由度折中域

3.1 分布式空時干擾對齊

此時，各接收端觀測到一個期望信號與干擾信號疊加的線性方程。

其中，表示從中選取對應中剩余個未知數的列組成的方陣，表示去除零元素后剩余未知元素按相對位置排序的矢量。由于信道系數的獨立同分布特性，此時，每列求解出的未知元素以概率1不為0。

Degrees of freedom of MIMO interference channel with distributed space-time interference alignment

In the context of-user MIMO interference channel (IC), achievable degrees of freedom (DoF) were investigated with distributed space-time interference alignment (DSTIA). By precoding with distributed current and outdated channel state information at the transmitters (CSIT), new tradeoff regions between achievable DoF and CSI feedback delay/frequency were achieved for MISO system. The impact of the number of transmit antennas on achievable DoF in the MISO system was analyzed, revealing that DoF results approach to the outer bound as the number of transmit antennas increases. Further, the impact of the number of receive antennas on achievable DoF was characterized, deriving the range of CSI feedback delay that preserves achievable DoF in the MIMO system. Theoretical and numerical analyses show that, the proposed DSTIA scheme can achieve better sum-DoFs by eliminating inter-user interference perfectly, tighten the gap between achievable DoF and outer bound, as well as improve the achievable rate of the system.
