🤖 AI Summary
This work addresses the challenge of interference alignment in multiuser wireless networks under the absence of channel state information (CSI) at the transmitters. It introduces, for the first time, fluid antenna systems into this setting, leveraging their dynamic reconfigurability to provide additional spatial degrees of freedom. By exploiting these degrees of freedom, the proposed scheme achieves interference alignment without requiring CSI by nulling the real part of the synthesized interference, thereby constructing an interference-free subspace for desired signal detection. The study derives theoretical conditions for feasible alignment and analyzes the associated outage probability. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly outperforms conventional single-user non-interference transmission schemes in terms of average sum rate, effectively overcoming the reliance on CSI that plagues existing interference alignment techniques.
📝 Abstract
Interference alignment is an efficient spectrum reuse scheme for multiuser wireless networks. In this letter, assuming no channel state information at the transmitters, we investigate a fluid antenna system (FAS)-enabled interference alignment scheme over a multiuser interference channel. In the proposed system, the additional spatial degrees of freedom provided by the FAS are exploited to nullify the real components of the effective combined interference such that those are reserved for interference-free desired signal detection. The interference alignment conditions and corresponding outage probabilities are theoretically derived. Simulations verify that the theoretically derived outage probabilities agree well with the numerical results. Furthermore, the proposed system is able to achieve a higher average sum rate than conventional single-user transmission schemes over non-interfering channels.
