Abstract
In modern wireless networks, the throughput achieved by the edge users is a key
erformance indicator of the network. Enhancing the edge user throughput can be
achieved through mitigating intercell interference. Long term evolution (LTE) introduces
a new technique for interference mitigation through coordination between
BSs denoted as coordinated multipoint (CoMP) transmission reception systems.
CoMP promises an enhanced edge user downlink throughput, especially in TDD
systems. Radio frequency (RF) calibration is necessary for proper CoMP operation.
In this thesis, the RF calibration problem in CoMP systems is discussed and
analyzed and new techniques are proposed.
We study the performance of di erent CoMP schemes and di erent precoders
under RF mismatch calibration errors. Numerical results are provided which show
the best precoder and the best CoMP mode candidates given di erent SNR and
calibration error levels.
In addition, a new iterative MMSE-based calibration scheme is introduced and
simulation results are provided showing superior performance compared to traditional
algorithms. Moreover, a new mobility-aware calibration point selection
algorithm is proposed for di erent types of calibration in CoMP systems. Full
