RT Conference Proceedings T1 On the choice of blind interference alignment strategy for cellular systems with data sharing A1 Morales Céspedes, Máximo A1 Plata Chaves, Jorge A1 García-Armada, Ana A1 Toumpakaris, Dimitris AB A cooperative blind interference alignment (BIA) strategy is considered for the downlink of cellular systems. The aim is to reduce intercell interference in order to protect users, especially at the cell edge. The strategy consists of appropriately splitting the available bandwidth and is shown to be well-suited to scenarios where the number of cell-edge users is considerable. For a system comprising two cells each with a base station of Nt antennas, it is shown that, compared to a previous augmented code approach where transmission to all users occurs in the same frequency band, the proposed strategy leads to better rates over a wide range of signal-to-noise ratios when the number of cell-edge users in both cells exceeds 2Nt -1.
