Abstract:
We address the problem of co-channel interference (CCI) in wireless mesh networks (WMNs). In such networks, multiple nodes communicate concurrently using the same time/frequency resources. This is recognized as the interference channel (IFC) because the CCI is a major impairment in such a scenario. To mitigate the CCI, non-cooperative beamforming techniques can be employed. Non-cooperative beamformers are simpler to implement than their cooperative counter-parts because they require neither synchronization nor the sharing of information data between the transmit nodes. In this paper, we then propose a non-cooperative beamforming scheme to improve the performance of WMNs with frequency-selective channels. We present an iterative algorithm that maximizes the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio criterion over all subcarriers of the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system. The performance of this algorithm is evaluated through simulations.
