Abstract:
A multi-antenna, greedy, iterative, and quantized (MAGIQ) precoding algorithm is proposed for downlink channels. MAGIQ allows a straightforward integration with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) for frequency selective channels. MAGIQ is compared to three existing algorithms in terms of information rates and complexity: quantized linear precoding (QLP), SQUID, and an ADMM-based algorithm. The information rate is measured by using a lower bound for finite modulation sets, and the complexity is measured by the number of multiplications and comparisons. MAGIQ and ADMM achieve similar information rates for Rayleigh flat-fading channels and one-bit quantization per real dimension, and they outperform QLP and SQUID for higher order modulation formats.
