RT Conference Proceedings T1 Experimental Evaluation of Blind Interference Alignment A1 Morales Céspedes, Máximo A1 Sánchez Fernández, Matilde Pilar A1 García-Armada, Ana AB An experimental evaluation of Blind Interference Alignment (BIA) over a hardware platform is presented in this work. In contrast to other transmission techniques such as Linear Zero Forcing Beamforming (LZFB) or Interference Alignment (IA), BIA achieves a growth in Degrees of Freedom (DoF) without channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT). A real implementation based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and LTE parameters is implement on a testbed made up of a transmitter equipped with two antennas and two users equipped with a reconfigurable antenna each. Furthermore, a full CSIT technique such as LZFB is also implemented for comparison purposes. First, the theoretic achievable rates are obtained for both techniques. After that, the bit error rate of both schemes is evaluated regarding the achieved sum-thorughput.
