- We study the design and evaluation of joint processing coordinated multipoint (CoMP) downlink transmission. Precoders will then be designed based on outdated channel state information (CSI), so interference cannot be eliminated completely as by an ideal zero-forcing (ZF) solution. We here strive to design and evaluate realistic linear transmit schemes. Kalman predictors are used for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) channels. They provide optimal linear predictions and also estimates of their uncertainty. Robust linear precoders are designed based on these uncertainty estimates. We introduce and use robust linear quadratic optimal feedforward control, with the criterion averaged (marginalized) over the CSI uncertainty. This flexible solution performs minimum mean square error (MSE) minimization. It can also iteratively optimize other criteria, such as sum-rate. The prediction- and transmission performance is evaluated using measured data on 20 MHz OFDM downlinks from three base stations, for users at fast pedestrian velocities. Downlink CoMP is here also compared to cellular transmission, that uses orthogonal resources within cells but allows uncontrolled interference between cells.

- Coordinated multi-point (CoMP) transmission is considered as an efficient technique to improve cell-edge performance as well as system spectrum efficiency. In CoMP-enabled systems, a cluster of coordinated base stations (BSs) are typically assumed to be connected to a control unit (CU) via backhaul links, and the provided performance gain relies heavily on the quality of the channel state information (CSI) available at the CU side. In this paper, we consider the downlink of a CoMP cluster and compare three different CoMP transmission schemes: zero-forcing coherent joint transmission, non-coherent joint transmission and coordinated scheduling. Moreover, for each of the analyzed schemes, the performance in terms of average sum rate of the CoMP cluster is studied with predicted CSI, considering the effects of the feedback and backhaul latency, as well as the user mobility. Compared to zero-forcing coherent joint transmission, we show that non-coherent joint transmission and coordinated scheduling are more robust to channel uncertainty. In addition, depending on the latency, user mobility and user locations, different schemes would achieve the highest average sum rate performance. Hence, a system could switch between the transmission schemes to improve the sum rate.
