The Inter-channel Interference Cancellation Algorithm for Wireless Magnetic Induction MIMO Communication System Based on Zero-forcing Precoding

Abstract The wireless magnetic induction MIMO system can enhance the data transmission rate in near-field magnetic induction communication, but it also suffers from severe inter-channel interference issues. This paper introduces precoding techniques into the wireless magnetic induction MIMO system, employing the zero-forcing precoding algorithm to eliminate interference between different channels. Firstly, leveraging the characteristic that the channel state of magnetic induction transmit-receive coils is determined solely by the physical parameters of the coils, channel estimation is performed to obtain the channel gain matrix for wireless magnetic induction communication. Subsequently, the obtained channel matrix is subjected to zero-forcing precoding to eliminate interference caused by coupling between different channels. Simulation results indicate that the data transmission rate of the wireless magnetic induction MIMO system is significantly higher after applying zero-forcing precoding compared to the rate without it. Additionally, the system’s data transmission rate decreases as the distance between the transmitting and receiving coils increases.
