Abstract

See full text

A transmission filter calculator for calculating at least a transmit filter for communication from a multi-antenna transmit communication device to a multi-antenna receive communication device via a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) channel iteratively determines transmit filters for multiple data streams. The transmission filter calculator chooses a transmit filter in a given iteration such that the transmit filter is orthogonal to one or more transmit filters chosen in one or more previous iterations, and such that a weighted or unweighted transmission rate obtainable using the transmit filter chosen in the given iteration is maximized, and chooses the transmit filter in dependence on a matrix product term which is based on a channel matrix describing MIMO channel characteristics between the transmit communication device and a currently considered one of the receive communication devices and on a distortion covariance matrix describing a noise, an inter-cell interference and an upper limit of an intra-cell interference.
