The introduction of the relay in heterogeneous networks (HetNets) can enhance cell-edge signals, but it will also bring coexistence of multiple interference which is composed of co-tier, cross-tier and cross time slot (caused by the half-duplex mode of the relay) interference, resulting in the ineffectiveness of the existing interference alignment (IA) schemes. To solve the above problem, the partial IA scheme, which achieves IA in the case of limited antennas by rationally designing the order and method of eliminating interference, is proposed in this paper. First, we align the interference from other base stations (BSs) into the interference space generated by pico BS to reduce the interference dimension of the relay, and then solve the interference between BSs and users by null space and concatenated precoding schemes. Furthermore, the feasibility condition of antenna configuration is analyzed. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme is superior to the traditional IA scheme in sum rate, and the performance of the proposed scheme is further improved as the relay transmission power increases.
