Impact of reduced antenna spacing on the post-processing SINR of interference rejection combining in cellular downlink receivers

TLDR
The impact of reduced antenna spacing on the post-processing signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) that is achievable in a UE performing IRC is studied and the invertibility and condition number of the ICM and its effects on thePost-processing SINR are investigated.
Abstract
The user equipments (UEs) in fourth-generation cellular networks employ multiple receive antennas for improved performance and reliability. In this scenario, interference rejection combining (IRC) has become a receiver of choice for its desirable properties such as interference mitigation and reduced complexity. Interference covariance matrix (ICM) inversion is a key step in obtaining the combiner weights in such a receiver. In this work, we study the impact of reduced antenna spacing on the post-processing signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) that is achievable in a UE performing IRC. We also investigate the invertibility and condition number of the ICM and its effects on the post-processing SINR. Finally, we study the impact of reduced antenna spacing on the post-processing SINR when there are channel estimation errors.

Optimum Combining in Digital Mobile Radio with Cochannel Interference

TL;DR: Analytical and computer simulation techniques are used to determine the performance of optimum combining when the received desired and interfering signals are subject to Rayleigh fading, and results show that optimum combining is significantly better than maximal ratio combining even when the number of interferers is greater than thenumber of antennas.

Effect of fading correlation on adaptive arrays in digital mobile radio

TL;DR: Results show that the degradation in performance with correlation in an adaptive array that combats fading and suppresses interference is only slightly larger than that for combating fading alone, i.e., with maximal ratio combining.
