Abstract

We propose in this paper a dual-antenna-array (with transmitter antenna array and receiver antenna array) architecture, where the antenna elements are divided into several antenna element sets and each traffic channel is transmitted over an antenna element set, to realize the multiple traffic channels set up by a user. A SINR feedback based algorithm, which can regulate the transmission rate by iteratively adjusting the power on each traffic channel, is proposed to execute the rate control for the proposed dual-antenna-array architecture under cochannel interference. It is shown that the proposed algorithm can make the throughput meet the throughput requirement or achieve the weighted bandwidth sharing for certain fairness. In addition, we further propose a traffic channel configuration algorithm to help the SINR feedback based algorithm find the optimal traffic channel configuration that can meet the throughput requirement for each traffic channel or results in the maximal total throughput for each user.
