Abstract

Uniform channel decomposition (UCD), as an improvement of geometric mean decomposition (GMD), is capable of decomposing a multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) channel into multiple subchannels having an identical capacity. Vector precoding (VP) is a powerful scheme, which is capable of mitigating multiuser interference (MUI) at the transmitter, provided that the channels of the users are known. In this paper, a novel joint transceiver design based on the UCD and the minimum bit error rate (MBER) VP principles is proposed for MIMO systems, in which the precoding and equalization matrices are calculated by UCD, whereas the perturbation vector is chosen to minimize the system’s bit error ratio (BER). This UCD-MBER-VP transceiver design outperforms several state-of-the-art benchmark algorithms in terms of achievable BER performance without imposing an increased computational complexity, particularly for rank-deficient systems.
