Abstract—Per-user based SLNR-SINR interference alignment (IA) algorithm for uplink CoMP is evaluated under different channel models. Rayleigh, Rician, and Nakagami fading channel is used in transmission with the Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel set as reference. Performance evaluation is based on its achievable sum rate and convergence rate by varying the channel, the number of serving cells, and UE's transmit and receive antenna combination. Assuming perfect CSI, the result shows that the maximum achievable sum rate is when the communication occurs in the AWGN channel. There are 3 bps/Hz difference between communication over Rayleigh and Nakagami channel, and 1.5 bps/Hz difference between Rician and Nakagami channel. Among the three fading channels, a smaller number of transmitting and receiving antenna in UE resulted in a higher sum rate with 58.97 bps/Hz for IA in the Nakagami channel with {3, 2, 4, 4, 2} configuration. In the low SNR region, the lowest sum rate for this configuration achieves 15.87 bps/Hz for IA in the Rayleigh channel.
