Energy Efficient Symbol-Level Precoding in Multiuser MISO Channels
This paper investigates the idea of exploiting interference among the
simultaneous multiuser transmissions in the downlink of multiple antennas
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). 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. In this context, new constructive interference
precoding techniques that tackle the transmit power minimization (min power)
with individual SINR constraints at each user's receivers are proposed.
Furthermore, we investigate the CI precoding design under the assumption that
the received MPSK symbol can reside in a relaxed region in order to be
correctly detected.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, to appear in SPAWC 2015. arXiv admin note:

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
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

Joint Compression and Feedback of CSI in Correlated multiuser MISO Channels
The potential gains of multiple antennas in wireless systems can be limited by the channel state information imperfections. In this context, this paper tackles the feedback in multiuser correlated multiple input single output (MU-MISO). We propose a framework to feedback the minimum number of bits without performance degradation. This framework is based on decorrelating the channel state information by compression and then quantize the compressed (CSI) and feedback it to the base station (BS). We characterize the rate loss resulted from the proposed framework. An upper bound on the rate loss is derived in terms of the amount of feedback and the statistics of the channel. Based on this characterization, we propose am adaptive bit allocation algorithm that takes into the account the channel statistics to reduce the rate loss induced by the quantization. Moreover, in order to maintain a constant rate loss with respect to the perfect CSIT case, it is shown that the number of feedback bits should scale linearly with the SNR (in dB) and to the rank of the user transmit correlation matrix. We validate the proposed framework by Monte-carlo simulations
Symbol-Level Multiuser MISO Precoding for Multi-level Adaptive Modulation
Symbol-level precoding is a new paradigm for multiuser multiple-antenna 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 Mary phase shift keying (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. Mary quadrature amplitude modulation (MQAM) 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 signal to interference noise ratio (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
PAPR Minimization through Spatio-temporal Symbol-level Precoding for the Non-linear Multi-user MISO Channel
Symbol-level precoding (SLP) is a promising technique which allows to constructively exploit the multi-user interference in the downlink of multiple antenna systems. Recently, this approach has also been used in the context of non-linear systems for reducing the instantaneous power imbalances among the antennas. However, previous works have not exploited SLP to improve the dynamic properties of the waveforms in the temporal dimension, which are fundamental for non-linear systems. To fill this gap, this paper proposes a novel precoding method, referred to as spatio-temporal SLP, which minimizes the peak-to-average power ratio of the transmitted waveforms both in the spatial and in the temporal dimensions, while at the same time exploiting the constructive interference effect. Numerical results are presented to highlight the enhanced performance of the proposed scheme with respect to state of the art SLP techniques, in terms of power distribution and symbol error rate over non-linear channels
Peak Power Minimization in Symbol-level Precoding for Cognitive MISO Downlink Channels
This paper proposes a new symbol-level precoding scheme at the cognitive transmitter that jointly utilizes the data and channel information to reduce the effect of nonlinear amplifiers, by reducing the maximum antenna power under quality of service constraint at the cognitive receivers. In practice, each transmit antenna has a separate amplifier with individual characteristics. In the proposed approach, the precoding design is optimized in order to control the instantaneous power transmitted by the antennas, and more specifically to limit the power peaks, while guaranteeing some specific target signal-to-noise ratios at the receivers and respecting the interference temperature constraint imposed by the primary system. Numerical results show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, which outperforms the existing state of the art techniques in terms of reduction of the power peaks
