Evolved joint transmission and interference cancellation with dedicated frequency planning

In this paper, we present a joint transmission and Interference Cancellation (IC) algorithm as a partially centralized Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) scheme. Being the evolution of our previous investigation, the User Equipment (UE) is equipped with multiple antenna arrays, and channel decoder can be optionally involved in the IC stage to improve the performance. The performance of the solution can be evaluated not only in the single-link simulation, but also in a multi-link simulation with certain system simplification, both of which have the same signal processing flow, and are bit-true simulators. This is driven by one of the major objectives to have a relatively clear view of the performance deviation between link level and system level, and the influence of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) technique. Especially, a dedicated frequency planning scheme is taken into account to for the proposed algorithm to support and increase the reasonability of the considered CoMP scheme.
