Hybrid interference alignment and power allocation for multi-user interference MIMO channels

This paper proposes a hybrid interference alignment scheme which combines maximizing signal-toleakage-noise ratio(Max-SLNR) at transmitter and maximizing signal-to-interference-noise ratio(Max-SINR) at receiver.The proposed scheme gives the same sum rate as the existing method using Max-SINR at both transmitter and receiver by avoiding the operation of reversing channel,thus it provides a simpler solution.Furthermore,two power allocation procedures are devised based on game theory and water filling.The gain of these schemes over equal power allocation increases to 2 bit/s/Hz in correlated fading channels as large-scale fading becomes significant.Additionally,user fairness is solved by introducing weighting factors.
