Abstract: A FFR (fractional frequency reuse)-based network MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) transmission architecture in a cellular system that employs cell sectoring using directional antennas. Each cell is sectorized into three outer sectors using three directional antennas which transmit in three different directions using three different frequency subbands. The cell sectors are arranged based on a frequency partition scheme so that three sectors in three neighboring cells form a coordinated group for network MIMO transmission. A regular and a rearranged frequency partition are described. Further, a practical implementation of SON (self organizing network)-based three-cell FFR-based network MIMO for a wireless OFDM system is described.

Abstract: The present invention is direct to the resource allocation method for MU-MIMO-OFDM system and the apparatus thereof. The MU-MIMO-OFDM system has a plurality of users and a plurality of sub-channels. The sub-channels are assigned to the users according to the capacity ratio constraints and a scheduling rule, and then the power of the user is determined according to the limit power of the MU-MIMO-OFDM system. Wherein the values of power of the sub-channels assigned to the user are the same, the scheduling rule may be Max-Min or Max Sum-Rate rule, and the allocation of the sub-channels may be user-oriented or sub-channel oriented.
