Hybrid Multicast Transmission for Public Safety Network in 5G

الملخص EN

We investigate the application of wireless multicast technology in public safety network (PSN) in future wireless communication system.

The hybrid unicast/multicast transmission system is proposed and analyzed in 3D massive multi-input multioutput (MIMO) channel.

The mutual coupling channel model is adopted under the different antenna array configuration scenarios.

The proposed hybrid system adopts multicast beamforming in the multicast groups as well as multiuser-MIMO (MU-MIMO) linear precoding in the unicast group to increase system throughput.

The null space method based interference cancellation is further performed between each group to eliminate signal leakage generated from each group.

Comparisons between two types of antenna array configurations, different channel models, linear precoding as well as multicast beamforming, and user grouping strategies for multicast services are presented and analyzed by simulation.
