A New SLNR-Based Precoding for Multiuser MIMO Downlinks

Abstract:

A new SLNR-based precoding is proposed for multiuser MIMO downlinks, which pursues the goal that minimizes total transmit power under each user’s SLNR constraint. The goal problems can be successfully solved by using semidefinite relaxation (SDR) techniques, and power constraint condition added in goal problems can efficiently reduce total transmit power of the base station. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme is almost feasible for users with one antenna, and it has better bit error rate (BER) and lower total transmit power than the maximal-SLNR based precoding method, when it satisfies large SLNR thretholds.
