The interference of a two-cell two-hop multi-input⁻multi-output (MIMO) heterogeneous network where the cell-center user (CCU) coexists with the cell-edge user (CEU) is complex to characterize and costly to suppress. In downlink, the CEU is assumed to be served by a half-duplex relay with amplify-and-forward mode. To suppress the intra-cell and inter-cell interference, a cross time slot partial interference alignment (TPIA) scheme, which aligns the interference terms generated in different sub-time slots to the same subspace, is proposed in this paper. Furthermore, the feasibility condition of antenna configuration is analyzed. Simulation results indicate that the TPIA scheme outperforms other existing conventional techniques in achievable sum degrees of freedom and sum-rate performance.
