Asynchronously Coordinated Multi-Timescale Beamforming Architecture for Multi-Cell Networks.

Modern wireless devices such as smartphones are pushing the demand for higher wireless data rates. The ensuing increase in wireless traffic demand can be met by a denser deployment of access points, coupled with a coordinated deployment of advanced physical layer techniques to reduce inter-cell interference. Unfortunately, advanced physical layer techniques, e.g., multi-user (MU) MIMO found in 802...
