In multicell coordinated networks where multiple base stations cooperate to jointly combat interference from adjacent cells and fading to receivers, one of the outstanding questions is what is the role of receive antenna and receiver processing. Multiple receive antennas not only enable additional degrees of freedom at each receiver to combat the other-cell interference but also can change the transmitter design because transmitter and receiver beamforming design is often closely coordinated. In this dissertation, we investigate the role of the multiple receive antennas in multicell cooperative systems under different interference conditions. We then present novel non-iterative and iterative coordinated beamforming and precoding algorithms with different receiver processing. We present comprehensive performance comparison of various multicell cooperative systems and explore the feasibility of achieving much higher throughput via hyper-densification of heterogeneous and small cell networks with mandatory multicell cooperation. / text
