Abstract

En 中文
Digital and analog beamforming are well-known methods to suppress interference using multiple-antenna structures, but they have practical limitations: (i) Digital beamforming requires multiple analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) to enable digital conversion, which increases the cost and complexity; (ii) Although analog beamforming does not require expensive ADCs, it uses phase shifters, which cause quantization errors, insertion losses, and reduced power efficiency. In this paper, we consider a K-user uplink interference channel and propose a low-complexity algorithmic interference-suppression solution relying on simple switch-based reconfigurable antennas at the receivers. We utilize switches to enable/disable antennas to maximize each user's signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). We present an optimization approach to approximate the optimal solution. To evaluate the results, we compare our method with relevant benchmarks. Moreover, we derive a lower bound on the minimum number of antenna elements per receiver to attain the desired SINR and verify the findings via simulations.
