Low Complexity Symbol-Level Design for Linear Precoding Systems

The practical utilization of the symbol-level precoding in MIMO systems is challenging since the implementation of the sophisticated optimization algorithms must be done with reasonable computational resources. In the real implementation of MIMO precoding systems, the processing time for each set of symbols is a crucial parameter, especially in the high-throughput mode. In this work, a symbol-level optimization algorithm with reduced complexity is devised. Performance of a symbol-level precoder is shown to improve in terms of the processing times per set of symbols.
