Description
Summary:Space Division Multiple Access (SDMA) grouping algorithms are usually employed in order to find a suitable set of User Equipments (UEs) for spatial multiplexing. The largest SDMA group is not always the best SDMA group in a given transmission such that higher gains might be achieved by dynamically adjusting the SDMA group size. Besides, algorithms that balance the Signal to Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR) among different links might ensure a certain level of link quality and so provide a more reliable communication for the scheduled UEs. This paper provides system-level analyses for strategies of Radio Resource Allocation (RRA) in Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) systems, which consider dynamic SDMA grouping, joint precoding and power allocation for SINR balancing. Our results show that Sequential Removal Algorithms (SRAs) and SINR balancing provide gains of system spectral efficiency.
