Precoded Universal MIMO Superposition Transmission for Achieving Optimal Coverage and High Throughput in 6G and Beyond Networks

Öz

A wireless network can utilize its entire resources to serve users without any allocation and provide upgraded performances such as enhanced throughput and high reliability without interference among users. However, previous wireless communication technologies could not bring the full utilization of network resources and overcome the challenge of forgoing scheduling among users. Therefore, to address these requirements, we propose and develop a novel design coined as Precoded Universal MIMO Superposition Transmission (PU-MIMO-ST) that can also be applicable for the most challenging and worst case interference scenario where the number of antenna points (APs) and the number of user equipment (UEs) is equal. In the considered system model, the APs are linked to a central processing unit (CPU) via backhaul and the UEs receive cooperation from the network resulting in achieving the optimal usage of network resources. The results obtained from computer simulations proof and verify the effectiveness of the proposed design called PU-MIMO-ST compared with other competitive works in terms of reliability, throughput, reduced complexity on the reception side, as well as power conservation.
