Abstract:

In wireless interference networks, orthogonal medium access techniques like time division multiple access (TDMA) and frequency division multiple access (FDMA) achieve merely one degree of freedom (DoF). However, by using interference alignment (IA) the achievable DoF can be linearly scaled up with the number of users. Nevertheless, this outperformance of IA heavily depends on the availability of perfect channel state information (CSI), which is not a realistic assumption in practice. Since under imperfect CSI, the performance of IA may become severely degraded, design of enhanced IA algorithms by relying on the availability of merely imperfect CSI is of particular interest. In this paper, we propose a least squares (LS)-based IA algorithm which adaptively designs the beamformers based on the knowledge of the channel estimation error variance, which is possible to be known in advance. Then, we compare the performance of the proposed scheme with interference leakage minimization algorithms. It is shown that under both perfect and imperfect CSI, the proposed LS-based IA outperforms interference leakage minimization algorithms.
