Non-linear Transceiver Design for Broadcast Channels with Statistical Channel State Information

We consider the design of Tomlinson-Harashima (TH) transceivers for the downlink of a multiuser communication system in the presence of uncertain channel state information (CSI) at the base station. We consider systems in which the base station has multiple antennas and each user has a single antenn...

Description
Summary:We consider the design of Tomlinson-Harashima (TH) transceivers for the downlink of a multiuser communication system in the presence of uncertain channel state information (CSI) at the base station. We consider systems in which the base station has multiple antennas and each user has a single antenna, and we consider a stochastic model for the uncertainty in the CSI. We study the joint design of a Tomlinson-Harashima precoder at the base station and the equalizing gains at the receivers so as to minimize the average, over channel uncertainty, of the total mean-square-error (MSE). By generalizing the MSE duality between the broadcast channel (BC) with TH preceding and the multiple access channel (MAC) with decision feedback equalization (DFE) to scenarios with uncertain CSI, we obtain a relation between the desired robust broadcast transceivers and the corresponding transceivers that optimize the same performance metric for the dual multiple access channel. Our simulations indicate that the proposed approach can significantly reduce the sensitivity of the downlink to uncertainty in the CSI, and can provide improved performance over that of existing robust designs.
