Abstract

In this paper, the joint transceiver design issue is investigated for multi-cell systems with multiple mobile terminals (MTs). An optimization problem is formulated based on the criterion of mean squared error minimization for the joint design of the cooperative precoder of all multi-input multi-output (MIMO) cells and the cooperative decoder of all MIMO MTs. With a fixed decoder, the optimum precoder is first derived in a closed-form expression, where no exchange of data streams among all of the MIMO cells is required due to the limited capability of the backhaul. Subsequently, an optimum decoder is then obtained in an analytical expression with the fixed precoder. Based on these two expressions, an iterative algorithm with guaranteed convergence is finally developed to carry out the joint optimization of the cooperative precoders and decoders. Simulation results demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm are also provided.
