In this paper, we propose a CI-based block-level precoding (CI-BLP) scheme for the downlink transmission of a multi-user multiple-input single-output (MU-MISO) communication system, where we design a constant precoding matrix to a block of symbol slots to exploit CI for each symbol slot simultaneously. A single optimization problem is formulated to maximize the minimum CI effect over the entire block, thus reducing the computational cost of traditional SLP as the optimization problem only needs to be solved once per block. By leveraging the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions and the dual problem formulation, the original optimization problem is finally shown to be equivalent to a quadratic programming (QP) over a simplex. Numerical results validate our derivations and exhibit superior performance for the proposed CI-BLP scheme over traditional BLP and SLP methods, thanks to the relaxed block-level power constraint. date: 2023-05-12 date_type: published publisher: IEEE official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/wcnc55385.2023.10118875 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2028870 doi: 10.1109/WCNC55385.2023.10118875 isbn_13: 9781665491228 lyricists_name: Masouros, Christos lyricists_id: CMASO14 actors_name: Masouros, Christos actors_id: CMASO14 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public pres_type: paper series: IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference publication: IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference, WCNC volume: 2023-M place_of_pub: Glasgow, United Kingdom pages: 6 event_title: 2023 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC) event_location: Glasgow, SCOTLAND event_dates: 26 Mar 2023 - 29 Mar 2023 issn: 1525-3511 book_title: 2023 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC) citation: Li, A; Shen, C; Liao, X; Masouros, C; Swindlehurst, AL; (2023) Block-Level Interference Exploitation Precoding without Symbol-by-Symbol Optimization.
