Transceiver design with vector perturbation technique and iterative power loading

Abstract

In this paper we consider the optimization of transceivers which use the nonlinear vector perturbation technique at the transmitter. Since the perturbation vector can be almost totally removed at the receiver, the transmitter can use this extra freedom to reduce the transmitted power while maintaining the performance. The two cases considered in this paper are linear transceivers and transceivers with decision feedback (DFE). For both cases, efficient iterative power loading algorithms are developed to reduce the average bit error rate under the total transmitted power constraint. We present simulation results showing that the proposed technique performs better than the existing state-of-the-art uniform channel decomposition (UCD) system and the vector perturbation (VP) precoder.
