Abstract:
A method is provided to reduce inter-cell interference in mobile wireless systems, and particularly in TDD wireless systems. In an embodiment, a base station receives a pilot signal from at least one of the mobile terminals that it serves at a plurality of base station antennas, which include both main antennas and auxiliary antennas. In response, each of the base station antennas provides an output that is processed to obtain a set of precoding weights for a transmission from the main antennas. The processing includes nulling at least one interfering signal using the outputs from at least the auxiliary antennas.
