چکیده

This paper proposes the design of robust transceivers with Tomlinson-Harashima precoding (THP) for multipleinput multiple-output (MIMO) relay systems with amplify-andforward (AF) protocols based on a multi-branch (MB) strategy. The MB strategy employs successive interference cancellation (SIC) on several parallel branches which are equipped with different ordering patterns so that each branch produces transmit signals by exploiting a certain ordering pattern. For each parallel branch, the proposed robust nonlinear transceiver design consists of THP at the source along with a linear precoder at the relay and a linear minimum-mean-squared-error (MMSE) receiver at the destination. By taking the channel uncertainties into account, the source and relay precoders are jointly optimised to minimise the mean-squared-error (MSE). We then employ a diagonalization method along with some attributes of matrix-monotone functions to convert the optimization problem with matrix variables into an optimization problem with scalar variables. We resort to an iterative method to obtain the solution for the relay and the source precoders via Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions. An appropriate selection rule is developed to choose the nonlinear transceiver corresponding to the best branch for data transmission. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed MB-THP scheme is capable of alleviating the effects of channel state information (CSI) errors and improving the robustness of the system.

Vector Precoding for Wireless MIMO Systems: A Replica Analysis

We apply the replica method to analyze vector precoding, a method to reduce transmit power in antenna array communications. The analysis applies to a very general class of channel matrices. The statistics of the channel matrix enter the transmitted energy per symbol via its R-transform. We find that vector precoding performs much better for complex than for real alphabets. As a byproduct, we fi...

Receive Antenna Selection for Multiuser MIMO Systems with Tomlinson-Harashima Precoding

In this letter, we discuss the problem of receive antenna selection in the downlink of multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with Tomlinson-Harashima precoding (THP), where the number of receivers is assumed equal to that of transmit antennas. Based on the criterion of maximum system sum-capacity, a per-layer receive antenna selection scheme is proposed. This scheme, which sel...

Lattice-Reduction-Aided Tomlinson-Harashima Precoding for Point-to-Multipoint Transmission

A new version of Tomlinson-Harashima Precoding (THP) for multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) channels with decentralised receivers employing lattice reduction is introduced. The proposed method clearly outperforms linear equalisation and conventional THP and in particular shows full diversity order.

Is Tomlinson-Harashima Precoding Suitable for Fiber-Optic Commu- nication Systems?

Tomlinson-Harashima precoding (THP) is a pre-compensation method, which is exactly fitted to the channel impulse response in order to completely compensate for its linear impairments, and it is in-fact a generalization of partial response precoding. THP is very popular in the field of wireless communications, namely in multi-input multi-output (MIMO) scenarios. It offers an alternative to the d...
