This paper presents a system proposal for a self-organized cellular network, which is based on the MIMO-OFDM transmission technique. Multicarrier transmission, combined with appropriate beamforming concepts, yields high bandwidth-efficiency and shows a robust behavior in multipath radio channels. Moreover, it provides a fine and tuneable granularity of space-time-frequency resources. Using a TDD approach and interference measurements in each cell, the Base Stations (BSs) decide autonomously which of the space-time-frequency resource blocks are allocated to the Mobile Terminals (MTs) in the cell, in order to fulfil certain Quality of Service (QoS) parameters. Since a synchronized Single Frequency Network (SFN), i.e., a reuse factor of one is applied, the resource blocks can be shared adaptively and flexibly among the cells, which is very advantageous in the case of a non-uniform MT distribution.
