Novel Access Control and Interference Alignment Based MIMO Link Scheduling Algorithm

Abstract

Abstract: Interference alignment (IA) attracts global attention for its capability of improving the throughput of MIMO systems. To ensure the system stability, researchers proposed access control and IA combined in link scheduling. In order to compensate for the deficiency of minimum interference leakage IA (MinL-IA) algorithm in terms of the expected signal gain, an alternative IA algorithm named MaxSINR-IA combined with access control was applied, and a novel semi-distributed scheduling algorithm（SDSIA-MaxSINR） algorithm was proposed. The theoretical analysis and simulation results demonstrate that SDSIA-MaxSINR algorithm is evidently superior to SDSIA-MinL algorithm in a higher SINR requirement, although MaxSINR-IA is inferior to the MinL-IA in terms of computational complexity.
