Sum Rate Maximization for Full Duplex Multiuser MIMO Systems by Gradient Projection Approach

Abstract

In this paper, we study the achievable sum-rate of a multi-user (MU) multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication system in which one full-duplex (FD) base station (BS) serves a number of half-duplex (HD) mobile stations (MSs). The problem of interest is to design the precoding matrices of the uplinks and the downlinks to maximize the system sum rate under transmit power constraints at the BS and the MSs. An iterative algorithm based on the gradient projection (GP) and the Armijo rule is developed to maximize the sum-rate. The convergence of the algorithm and the achievable sum-rate performance of the FD MU-MIMO model as compared to those of the HD MU-MIMO one will be investigated through numerical simulation results.
