Abstract

In this paper, we provide the analysis of the downlink Coordinated Multiple Point (CoMP) used in conjunction with the basic MIMO. The CoMP is the joint multi-cell transmission from several BS to mobiles, coupled here to an open-loop MIMO technique that does not require the perfect channel state knowledge. We show by simulation, that even for 4x4 MIMO transmission, the CoMP can improve the spectral efficiency for some mobiles, depending on capacity outage requirements
