Abstract

Quality of service (QoS) is commonly measured in terms of signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR), where multiuser interference is mitigated in order to improve the performance. As opposed to conventional suppression, interference can be exploited constructively to enhance the desired signal. With the aid of channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter and data information, we study symbol-level downlink beamforming problems based on noise robustness and outage probability, respectively, subject to power constraints. We further show that an equivalence relationship between the noise robustness and outage probability symbol-level downlink beamforming problems can be obtained. Finally, we provide an analytic symbol error rate (SER) upper bound of the worst user by solving the outage probability-based problem. Our simulations demonstrate that the proposed techniques provide substantial performance improvements over conventional downlink beamforming techniques.
