Performance evaluation of coordinated beamforming in LTE-advanced systems

In telecommunications, new application areas in social, private and business sector are developing, such as eHealth, Connected car, Mobile Payment, Smart Energy, Cloud Media, Maschine-2-Maschine communication. The new services will demand the Internet to be available everywhere and will contribute to the current exponential growth in data traffic. In wireless communication systems such as IMT-Advanced systems, key features to increase mean spectral efficiencies are integrating multi antenna techniques and mitigating inter-cell interference by coordination.
