A method for triggering multicell MIMO schemes in a multiple antenna system includes transmitting, at a Mobile Station (MS), a first feedback information for single-cell closed-loop MIMO to a Base Station (BS); requesting, at the BS, Normalized Interference Power (NIP) feedback from the MS based on the first feedback information; feeding, at the MS, the NIP back to the BS; selecting, at the BS, a first NIP threshold and a second NIP threshold based on the NIP fed back from the MS; and requesting, at the MS, one of a first MIMO scheme and a second MIMO scheme by comparing the calculated first and second NIPs with the first NIP threshold and the second NIP threshold.
Abstract:
A method for Symbol Error Rate (SER) approximation of an SER-based transmission power allocation operation for an Orthogonal Space Time Block Code in a DWCS equipped with multiple transmission Distributed Antennas (DA) geographically dispersed at random. The method for SER approximation includes the steps of: setting multiple combinable antenna subsets from the multiple DAs; selecting a quasi-optimal antenna subset Ag (1≦g≦2n−1) having a quasi-optimal power allocation weight wg based on predetermined power allocation, for each of the set multiple antenna subsets; and calculating an SER approximation value of the selected quasi-optimal antenna subset by applying a Probability Density Function (PDF) of a Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) to the OSTBC SER having symbol constellation of a predetermined modulation scheme. The output of the SER approximation value can be output to a transmitter, or to a space-time encoder of a central processor for optimal power transmission.

Abstract:
A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication system includes a base station and a relay station that are connected through an optical fiber. The relay station wirelessly transmits through a plurality of antennas a signal received from the base station. The base station includes a plurality of symbol mappers for mapping input bit streams into a plurality of symbol signals; a MIMO multiplexer generating a plurality of exchange signals by exchanging bits of the symbol signals; and a plurality of code spreaders generating a plurality of spread signals by band spreading the exchange signals. The adoption of a wire transmission scheme for connecting the base station with the relay station through a single optical fiber provides benefits in cost reduction and complexity as the number of electrical-to-optical converters is reduced, and the bandwidth is superior to those in wireless transmission scheme
