Summary :

In this paper, we focus on the cancellation of interference among Destination Users (DU's) and the improvement of achievable sum rate of the nonregenerative multiuser Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) relay downlink system. A novel design method of transmit weight is proposed to successively eliminate the interference among DU's, each of which is equipped with multiple receive antennas. We firstly investigate the transmit weight design for the Amplify-and-Forward (AF) relay scheme where the Relay Station (RS) just retransmits the received signals from Base Station (BS), then extend it to the joint design scheme of transmit weights at the both BS and RS. In the proposed joint design scheme, through the comparison of lower bound of achievable rate, an effective DU selection algorithm is proposed to generate the transmit weight at the RS and obtain the multiuser diversity. Dirty Paper Coding (DPC) technique is employed to remove the interference among DU's and ensures the achievable rate of downlink. Theoretical derivation and simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in obtaining the achievable rate performance and BER characteristics.
