In broadband indoor power line communication (PLC) systems, multiple input multiple output (MIMO) techniques have been introduced to address the increasing demand for high data rates under the constraint of limited allocated bandwidth. Whereas the self inter-antenna interference can be dealt with on each subcarrier, both inter-carrier and inter-symbol interference can occur yielding sub-optimal bit loading if not considered. In this paper, we extend to the MIMO case the lowcomplexity bit/power allocation algorithm, called Reduced Complexity Algorithm (RCA), that we previously applied to the SISO case. Based on the Greedy principle, the RCA takes the interference into account to optimize the bit loading. We consider two MIMO schemes: optimum eigen beamforming and spatial multiplexing. Simulation results show the efficiency of the RCA in terms of throughput and computation cost in both cases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
