Symbol-Level Multiuser MISO Precoding for Multi-level Adaptive Modulation
Symbol-level precoding is a new paradigm for multiuser downlink systems which
aims at creating constructive interference among the transmitted data streams.
This can be enabled by designing the precoded signal of the multiantenna
transmitter on a symbol level, taking into account both channel state
information and data symbols. Previous literature has studied this paradigm for
MPSK modulations by addressing various performance metrics, such as power
minimization and maximization of the minimum rate. In this paper, we extend
this to generic multi-level modulations i.e. MQAM and APSK by establishing
connection to PHY layer multicasting with phase constraints. Furthermore, we
address adaptive modulation schemes which are crucial in enabling the
throughput scaling of symbol-level precoded systems. In this direction, we
design signal processing algorithms for minimizing the required power under
per-user SINR or goodput constraints. Extensive numerical results show that the
proposed algorithm provides considerable power and energy efficiency gains,
while adapting the employed modulation scheme to match the requested data rate
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
Generalised MBER-based vector precoding design for multiuser transmission
We propose a generalized vector precoding (VP) design based on the minimum bit error rate (MBER) criterion for multiuser transmission in the downlink of a multiuser system, where the base station (BS) equipped with multiple transmitting antennas communicates with single-receiving-antenna mobile station (MS) receivers each having a modulo device. Given the knowledge of the channel state information and the current information symbol vector to be transmitted, our scheme directly generates the effective symbol vector based on the MBER criterion using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The proposed PSO-aided generalized MBER VP scheme is shown to outperform the powerful minimum mean-square-error (MMSE) VP and improved MMSE-VP benchmarks, particularly for rank-deficient systems, where the number of BS transmitting antennas is lower than the number of MSs supported
Robust MMSE Precoding Strategy for Multiuser MIMO Relay Systems with Switched Relaying and Side Information
In this work, we propose a minimum mean squared error (MMSE) robust base station (BS) precoding strategy based on switched relaying (SR) processing and limited transmission of side information for interference suppression in the downlink of multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relay systems. The BS and the MIMO relay station (RS) are both equipped with a codebook of interleaving matrices. For a given channel state information (CSI) the selection function at the BS chooses the optimum interleaving matrix from the codebook based on two optimization criteria to design the robust precoder. Prior to the payload transmission the BS sends the index corresponding to the selected interleaving matrix to the RS, where the best interleaving matrix is selected to build the optimum relay processing matrix. The entries of the codebook are randomly generated unitary matrices. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed techniques is significantly better than prior art in the case of imperfect CSI.
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

Sum Rates, Rate Allocation, and User Scheduling for Multi-User MIMO Vector Perturbation Precoding
This paper considers the multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
broadcast channel. We consider the case where the multiple transmit antennas
are used to deliver independent data streams to multiple users via vector
perturbation. We derive expressions for the sum rate in terms of the average
energy of the precoded vector, and use this to derive a high signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR) closed-form upper bound, which we show to be tight via simulation.
We also propose a modification to vector perturbation where different rates can
be allocated to different users. We conclude that for vector perturbation
precoding most of the sum rate gains can be achieved by reducing the rate
allocation problem to the user selection problem. We then propose a
low-complexity user selection algorithm that attempts to maximize the high-SNR
sum rate upper bound. Simulations show that the algorithm outperforms other
user selection algorithms of similar complexity.Comment: 27 pages with 6 figures and 2 tables. Accepted for publication in
