Constructive Multiuser Interference in Symbol Level Precoding for the MISO Downlink Channel
This paper investigates the problem of interference among the simultaneous
multiuser transmissions in the downlink of multiple antennas systems. Using
symbol level precoding, a new approach towards the multiuser interference is
discussed along this paper. The concept of exploiting the interference between
the spatial multiuser transmissions by jointly utilizing the data information
(DI) and channel state information (CSI), in order to design symbol-level
precoders, is proposed. In this direction, the interference among the data
streams is transformed under certain conditions to useful signal that can
improve the signal to interference noise ratio (SINR) of the downlink
transmissions. We propose a maximum ratio transmission (MRT) based algorithm
that jointly exploits DI and CSI to glean the benefits from constructive
multiuser interference. Subsequently, a relation between the constructive
interference downlink transmission and physical layer multicasting is
established. In this context, novel constructive interference precoding
techniques that tackle the transmit power minimization (min power) with
individual SINR constraints at each user's receivers is proposed. Furthermore,
fairness through maximizing the weighted minimum SINR (max min SINR) of the
users is addressed by finding the link between the min power and max min SINR
problems. Moreover, heuristic precoding techniques are proposed to tackle the
weighted sum rate problem. Finally, extensive numerical results show that the
proposed schemes outperform other state of the art techniques.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Signal Processin
Hybrid precoding for physical layer multicasting
This work investigates the problem of downlink transmit precoding for
physical layer multicasting with a limited number of radio-frequency (RF)
chains. To tackle the RF hardware constraint, we consider a hybrid precoder
that is partitioned into a high-dimensional RF precoder and a low-dimensional
baseband precoder. Considering a total transmit power constraint over the RF
chains, the goal is to maximize the minimum (max-min) received signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR) among all users. We propose a low complexity algorithm to compute
the RF precoder that achieves near-optimal max-min performance. Moreover, we
derive a simple condition under which the hybrid precoding driven by a limited
number of RF chains incurs no loss of optimality with respect to the fully
digital precoding case. Finally, numerical results validate the effectiveness
of the proposed algorithm and theoretical findings.Comment: Accepted to IEEE Commun. Let
Energy-Efficient Symbol-Level Precoding in Multiuser MISO Based on Relaxed Detection Region
This paper addresses the problem of exploiting interference among
simultaneous multiuser transmissions in the downlink of multiple-antenna
systems. Using symbol-level precoding, a new approach towards addressing the
multiuser interference is discussed through jointly utilizing the channel state
information (CSI) and data information (DI). The interference among the data
streams is transformed under certain conditions to a useful signal that can
improve the signal-to-interference noise ratio (SINR) of the downlink
transmissions and as a result the system's energy efficiency. In this context,
new constructive interference precoding techniques that tackle the transmit
power minimization (min power) with individual SINR constraints at each user's
receiver have been proposed. In this paper, we generalize the CI precoding
design under the assumption that the received MPSK symbol can reside in a
relaxed region in order to be correctly detected. Moreover, a weighted
maximization of the minimum SNR among all users is studied taking into account
the relaxed detection region. Symbol error rate analysis (SER) for the proposed
precoding is discussed to characterize the tradeoff between transmit power
reduction and SER increase due to the relaxation. Based on this tradeoff, the
energy efficiency performance of the proposed technique is analyzed. Finally,
extensive numerical results show that the proposed schemes outperform other
state-of-the-art techniques.Comment: Submitted to IEEE transactions on Wireless Communications. arXiv
