Performance Enhancement of OAM-MIMO Using Successive Interference Cancellation

摘要

This paper proposes a method that employs successive interference cancellation (SIC) to further enhance the capacity of uniform circular array (UCA)-based orbital angular momentum (OAM)- MIMO systems. The central feature of the proposed approach is to exploit the additional space diversity benefit in the remaining streams by means of SIC owing to the large difference in the received power among different UCAs in each OAM mode. Therefore, it is expected that the proposed method can further stabilize the performance of UCA-based OAM-MIMO along with the communication distance. Our numerical results show that the proposed method outperforms the traditional method without SIC in terms of the system capacity owing to the large received power difference among different UCAs.
