This paper proposes a stream selection algorithm to deal with the interference and increase the sum capacity in the context of heterogeneous networks where cells of different types coexist. Due to the different transmit powers between the macro and small cells, interference levels are also different. Since the small cells are densely deployed, fully connected interference network between small cells is considered in this paper. The proposed algorithm performs the selection of a stream sequence among a predetermined set of sequences. Those selected sequences are the ones that mostly contribute to the sum rate when performing the exhaustive search. As a consequence, since the search space is reduced, the complexity is significantly decreased. These stream sequences form a regular structure where the first stream is associated to a pico user. Another distinguishing property of the proposed approach is that the stream sequences include at least one stream for each user. When selecting the streams, the channel matrices of the unselected streams are projected orthogonally to the virtual transmit and virtual receive channels of the selected stream in order to align the interference in the null space of these virtual channels. The performance evaluations are carried out by considering different scenarios with different numbers and locations of pico cells. It is shown that the proposed method can significantly reduce the computational complexity while achieving a very close performance to the exhaustive search

“…The behavior of ISNSSS algorithm depending on the position of one pico cell is analyzed in [14] by implementing exhaustive stream selection algorithm that searches all possible stream sequences. In the study of [15], ISNSSS algorithm is analyzed for two pico cells without satisfying the constraint given in Equation (6b).…”

Abstract-This paper focuses on different distortion metrics in order to analyze the influence of the imperfect channel state information (CSI) on the improved successive stream selection algorithm that manages the interference in a heterogeneous network. The presented approach initially selects the streams from the user of the pico cell, continuing with the strongest streams among the remaining streams that increase the sum rate and satisfy the constraint that at least one stream is selected from each user. In order to reduce the interference, the channel matrices of the remaining streams are projected orthogonally to the virtual transmit and receive channels of the selected stream. The impact of the quantization distortion on the precoding and postcoding design is examined. The performance of two distortion metrics which are the Chordal distance and the Euclidean distance are compared for different number of quantization bits. The performance evaluations are obtained by considering different locations of small cells with respect to the macro cell.

This paper presents a stream selection based interference alignment approach with imperfect channel state information for heterogeneous networks. The proposed solution constructs stream sequences by selecting only the strongest stream of each user where the first stream of the constructed stream sequences is associated to a pico user. While selecting the streams, the channel matrices of the unselected streams are projected orthogonally to the virtual transmit and receive channels of the selected stream in order to align the interference in the null space of these virtual channels. In addition, the influence of imperfect channel state information on the proposed algorithm is analysed. A bit allocation scheme is given by deriving an upper bound on the rate loss because of quantisation. The simulation results are carried out by considering various scenarios with different locations of pico cells at the cell edge regions of the macro cell. The performance results show that the proposed algorithm with the imperfect channel state information achieves higher performance than the existing algorithms.
