Abstract:

Power control is an effective technique to restrain the co-channel interference (CCI) in a cellular system.In this paper, an optimal power control method based on post-detection SINR balancing for a cellular V-BLAST system is proposed.Its simplified solution with reduced complexity is provided.The proposed method may balance the postdetection SINR of each substream at mobile stations (MS) by adjusting power levels of every transmit antenna at base stations (BS) in the system.Simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms existing power control methods both in the system outage probability and BER performance.The simplified solution significantly reduces computing complexity with slight performance degradation.
