Abstract
In this paper, we consider the downlink transmission for a dual-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) multiple-antenna relay systems, where we propose beamforming techniques for interference exploitation on a symbol level. Based on the constructive interference (CI), we firstly propose a joint source/relay precoding, where the precoding matrices at the source and the output signals at the relay are jointly optimized. To alleviate the high computational costs and circumvent the difficulty of practical implementation of the joint design, we further propose a low-complexity decoupled approach, where a closed-form linear precoding method is first employed at the source, and we then optimize the beamforming matrix at the relay for interference exploitation. It is revealed by numerical results that the proposed approaches that exploit the instantaneous interference can achieve an improved performance over the conventional case with a linear approach.
