TLDR
It is shown that MU-MIMO only offers marginal performance gains with respect to single-user MIMO and calls for improved schemes for the upcoming releases.Abstract:
A relatively recent idea of extending the benefits of MIMO systems to multiuser scenarios seems promising in the context of achieving high data rates envisioned for future cellular standards after 3G (3rd Generation). Although substantial research has been done on the theoretical front, recent focus is on making Multiuser Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MUMIMO) practically realizable. This paper presents an overview of the different MU-MIMO schemes included/being studied in 3GPP standardization from LTE (long-term evolution) to LTE Advanced. MU-MIMO system concepts and implementation aspects have been studied here. Various low-complexity receiver architectures are investigated, and their performance assessed through link-level simulations. Appealing performance offered by low-complexity interference aware (IA) receivers is notably emphasized. Furthermore, system level simulations for LTE Release 8 are provided. Interestingly, it is shown that MU-MIMO only offers marginal performance gains with respect to single-user MIMO. This arises from the limited MU-MIMO features included in Release 8 and calls for improved schemes for the upcoming releases.read more

Systems and methods to coordinate transmissions in distributed wireless systems via user clustering
TL;DR: In this article, link quality measurements between a target user and a plurality of distributed-input-distributed-output (DIDO) distributed antennas of base transceiver stations (BTSs) were used to define a user cluster, and the channel state information (CSI) between each user and each DIDO antenna within a defined user cluster was measured.

System and method for distributed antenna wireless communications
TL;DR: In this article, a system and method for distributed antenna wireless communications is described, in which the precoding causes radio frequency interference between the plurality of base stations but simultaneously generates a plurality of noninterfering radio frequency user channels between the majority of distributed antennas and the plurality wireless client devices.

LTE - The UMTS Long Term Evolution: From Theory to Practice
TL;DR: Scrase et al. as discussed by the authors provide a comprehensive system-level understanding of LTE, built on explanations of the theories which underlie it, and provide a broad, balanced and reliable perspective on this important technology Lucid yet thorough, the book devotes particular effort to explaining the theoretical concepts in an accessible way.
