Coordinated multiantenna interference mitigation techniques for flexible TDD systems

This dissertation presents cooperative beamformer techniques and possible practical implementations to mitigate the sophisticated interference scenarios in dynamic time-divisionduplexing (TDD) systems and integrated access and backhaul (IAB) networks. Greater emphasis is placed on the distributed resource allocation to facilitate simultaneous uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) data transmission by employing multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) beamformer techniques and bi-directional signalling schemes with different objectives to optimize network utilities while acknowledging important practical considerations and future traffic demand.
