A Special Issue of Physical Communication
on ?Multiuser MIMO Communications in Interference-Limited Scenarios?
__________________________________________
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems represent the key
technology for the development of future generation wireless
communication systems.
The presence of multiple antennas brings multiple beneficial effects
including improved reliability, larger capacity, and enhanced coverage.
These benefits can be further exploited together with multiuser
diversity gain in MultiUser MIMO (MU-MIMO) systems.
To further enhance the performance of wireless communication systems
in terms of power efficiency and/or system throughput, various system
architectures and advanced signal processing techniques are
continuously proposed and investigated for both uplink (multiple
access channel) and downlink (broadcast channel) transmission.
In particular, the following three scenarios are receiving significant
interest from research initiatives: cooperative networks, in which
base stations from different cells cooperate to act as a large virtual
base station; dense networks (femtocells), in which end users will be
placing access points available to other users otherwise served by the
base station; and massive antenna array networks, in which base
stations are equipped with a large number of cheap antennas.
In all these intrinsically interference-limited scenarios, MU-MIMO
plays a fundamental role to combat, mitigate, or even annihilate the
detrimental effect of interference by benefiting from the features of
multi-antenna systems in various forms.
Deeper insights on the MU-MIMO potentials require the exploration of
multifold directions spanning from channel sounding and modeling to
cooperation and cross-layer design via resource allocation, etc.
Meanwhile, a comprehensive understanding of the general system
architecture, that can effectively explore all the beneficial effects
of MU-MIMO in such interference-limited environments, is still lacking.
The main purpose of this special issue is to present high-quality
unpublished papers addressing the related problems associated with
both the uplink and downlink transmission of MU-MIMO systems.
Submission of both theoretical- and/or practical-oriented works within
this general field is solicited.
