Cooperative base station (CBS) processing takes advantage of the entire infrastructure fabric in system-wide multiuser detection (MUD) of each and all mobile stations (MSs). It is a promising paradigm for increasing the efficiency of future wireless communications systems, benefiting from increased dimensionality through macrodiversity as well as increasing the capacity largely through the achievement of full frequency reuse. Managing the high levels of interference occurred in this scheme is the main dilemma discouraging the practical implementation. In this thesis, we introduce innovative methods to handle and reduce co-channel interference in the uplink of CBS systems. Based on the groupwise iterative multiuser detection (IMUD), we come up with a new way to reduce the complexity of belief propagation (BP) algorithm. The resulting reduced complexity BP (RCBP) algorithm is a flexible, efficient technique that can be used for joint detection in a variety of high interference situations. We apply RCBP for distributed MUD in CBS uplink and show that its performance is close to that of the BP algorithm at lower computational cost in the simplified channel model and it has excellent performance in joint decoding and detection using the low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. We also examine CBS processing in a realistic wireless network model, and illustrate how system-wide RCBP MUD can successfully detect the co-channel signals originating from the MSs in the neighbouring cells, included in the detection set. However, the system performance in such system is limited by the unmodeled interference from the MSs outside the detection set. We apply the RCBP algorithm for MUD in frequency selective multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) channels. Our study proves that the RCBP is an efficient equalizer dealing with inter-symbol interference in high interference situations and in iterative joint detection and decoding. In order to reduce the unmodeled interference in CBS networks, we propose a novel power control policy for CBS uplink allowing the MSs to control according to the total received power in their detection set. We investigate the performance of this method and show that it reduces the intercell interference, saves power and improves the BER performance.

Cellular systems are interference limited in nature. This problem is further accentuated in upcoming commercial wireless standards, which intend to use all the available spectrum in every cell in the network to improve peak data rates. This, however, could lead to considerable interference among neighboring cells, decreasing data rates and causing outages at the cell-edge. Multicell cooperation offers a solution for reducing the high levels of interference. The basic idea is that base stations coordinate transmissions by sharing user information among themselves via backhaul links. With the backhaul being bandwidth limited, cooperative strategies that involve the exchange of only user channel state information (CSI) among base stations offer the best tradeoff between complexity, backhaul load and performance gains. This dissertation focuses on these partial cooperative techniques, known as coordinated beamforming in 3GPP LTE Advanced. In existing frequency division duplex systems, users estimate and feedback the CSI of a single channel over a finite-bandwidth feedback link, using limited feedback techniques. In a multicell cooperative scenario, each user needs to transmit the CSI of multiple channels using the same feedback link. This implies that the available feedback bandwidth must be efficiently shared among different channels to maximize performance gains in the cellular network. This dissertation develops three different approaches to limited feedback in multicell cooperative systems. The first technique, separate quantization, involves each channel being fed back individually using a different codebook. Closed-form expressions are derived to partition adaptively the available feedback bits, as a function of the signal strengths and delays associated with each of the multiple channels. The second strategy is known as joint quantization, where the CSI of all the channels are quantized together as a composite vector. It is shown that though this approach yields higher data rates with smaller feedback requirements than separate quantization, it requires the design and storage of special codebooks. Finally, predictive joint quantization is proposed to exploit the temporal correlation of the wireless channel to reduce feedback requirements significantly as compared to the other two strategies, at the cost of high complexity at the user terminals.
