Enhanced LMMSE equalizer for high-speed single frequency network in HSDPA
Currently, considerable interest has been shown in the research and standardization communities in multicell transmission schemes for HSPA, with a number of possible schemes under discussion that include Multiflow, Fast Cell Switching (FCS) and High-Speed Single Frequency Network (HS-SFN). In particular, HS-SFN is a promising technique that not only combines received energy from participating cells, but also reduces intercell interference with low UE complexity. In principle, HS-SFN can be implemented with a small modification to an LMMSE receiver at the UE. This paper introduces a more advanced LMMSE equalizer for High-Speed Single Frequency Network in HSDPA that achieves further performan…
Introduction of Multiflow for HSDPA
This paper introduces a multi-cell transmission scheme for High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) networks, called Multiflow. In this concept, downlink data is transmitted to a user terminal at the border of two cells from one or both of the cells. The cells may belong to same NodeB or to two different NodeBs. The data flows are separated by different scrambling codes used by each associated cell, thus the flows can be treated independently. This provides increased multi-user diversity by means of flexibility in downlink resource management, in addition to the spatial diversity of multiple transmission locations. Another important gain mechanism for this scheme is realized by short-term …
