PRECODING AND POWER ALLOCATION FOR ACCESS POINTS IN A CELL-FREE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18266580 titled 'PRECODING AND POWER ALLOCATION FOR ACCESS POINTS IN A CELL-FREE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes mechanisms for determining a precoder for Access Points (APs) in a cell-free communication system. The method involves obtaining channel estimates of the radio propagation channel between the APs and user equipment, determining a precoder for the APs with a Zero Forcing (ZF) precoding factor and power allocation factor, and initiating transmission of precoded user symbols from the APs towards the user equipment.

  • Channel estimates of the radio propagation channel between APs and user equipment are obtained.
  • A precoder for the APs is determined, with a ZF precoding factor and power allocation factor.
  • The ZF precoding factor is determined from the channel estimates.
  • The power allocation factor is determined by maximizing total transmission power for all user symbols to be transmitted, with power constraints for APs and lower bounds for user equipment.
  • Precoded user symbols are transmitted from the APs to the user equipment.
      1. Potential Applications
  • Cell-free communication systems
  • Wireless communication networks
  • 5G and beyond technologies
      1. Problems Solved
  • Efficient precoding for APs in cell-free communication systems

Original Abstract Submitted

There is provided mechanisms for determining a precoder for APs in a cell-free communication system. A method is performed by a controller of the APs. The method comprises obtaining channel estimates of a radio propagation channel between the APs and user equipment served in the cell-free communication system. The method comprises determining a precoder for the APs. The precoder has a ZF precoding factor and a power allocation factor. The ZF precoding factor is determined from the channel estimates. The power allocation factor is determined by maximizing total transmission power for all user symbols to be transmitted to the user equipment, one user symbol per each user equipment. Transmission power of each of the APs is not larger than a power constraint. Transmission power for each of the user equipment is lower bounded by a scaled heuristic value. The method comprises initiating transmission of precoded user symbols from the APs towards the user equipment. The user symbols are precoded according to the determined precoder.
