GENERALIZED DECISION FEEDBACK EQUALIZER PRECODER WITH RECEIVER BEAMFORMING FOR MATRIX CALCULATIONS IN MULTI-USER MULTIPLE-INPUT MULTIPLE-OUTPUT WIRELESS TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS

摘要

To realize a GDFE precoder for multi-user MIMO systems, which significantly reduces the computational cost while resulting in no capacity loss, one method comprises obtaining an effective downlink (DL) channel matrix H for the DL channel after receiver processing at the user terminals; computing an uplink (UL) covariance matrix D by assuming there are as many user terminals as a number of rows in the effective DL channel matrix H; computing a filter matrix C based on the UL covariance matrix D; computing a feedforward filter matrix F based on the filter matrix C; computing an interference pre-cancellation matrix G, based on the feedforward filter matrix F and the filter matrix C, used in a transmitter at an interference pre-cancellation stage of the GDFE precoder; and processing user symbols by a decision feedback equalizing stage of the GDFE precoder to produce filtered vector symbols.
