Abstract:
1. A method for use in at least a portion of a wireless communication system in which downlink signals are communicated from at least one of one or more base stations to respective ones of a plurality of terminals, and unlink signals are communicated to at least one of one or more base stations from respective ones of a plurality of terminals, the method comprising the steps of: using dirty paper coding to compensate for interference among the downlink signals, using multi-user detection to compensate for interference among the uplink signals, wherein the compensation for the downlink signals is performed using a first order of the terminals that defines which terminals' downlink signals are used to compensate for interference in which other terminals' downlink signals, and the compensation for the uplink signals is performed using a second order of the terminals that defines which terminals' uplink signals are used to compensate for interference in which other terminals' uplink signals.
