Vector Precoding for Wireless MIMO Systems and its Replica Analysis
This paper studies a nonlinear vector precoding scheme which inverts the wireless multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel at the transmitter so that simple symbol-bysymbol detection can be used in lieu of sophisticated multiuser detection at the receiver. In particular, the transmit energy is minimized by relaxing the transmitted symbols to a larger alphabet for precoding, which preserves the minimum signaling distance. The so-called replica method is used to analyze the average energy savings with random MIMO channels in the large-system limit. It is found that significant gains can be achieved with complex-valued alphabets. The analysis applies to a very general class of MIMO channels, where the statistics of the channel matrix enter the result via the R-transform of the asymptotic empirical distribution of its eigenvalues. Moreover, we introduce polynomial-complexity precoding schemes for binary and quadrature phase-shift keying in complex channels by using convex rather than ...
