Adaptive Strategy of General Centralized Feedback Model for Interference Alignment in Asymmetric Interference Networks

摘要

Interference alignment (IA) is a promising technique to effectively manage the interference. The realization of IA requires a proliferation of feedback bits. In a general centralized feedback model, the feedback rate of the precoder and the decoder affects the performance of the IA directly. In this paper, to improve the feedback efficiency of the precoder and the decoder, a strategy that can adaptively allocate the feedback bits of the precoder and the decoder is proposed. We consider the effect of link loss on the throughput loss caused by the quantization error of the precoder and decoder. An upper bound of leaked interference as a function of the link loss and the feedback bits of the precoders and the decoders is derived. The feasibility conditions for dynamically allocating the feedback bits of the precoder and the decoder are analyzed. It is proven that the properties of general asymmetric interference network can satisfy the feasibility conditions for dynamic feedback scheme. According to the simulation results, our proposed scheme achieves higher throughput compared with the conventional schemes in the asymmetric interference network.
