On the Error Probability of Interference Exploitation Precoding with Power Allocation

Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the performance of constructive interference (CI) precoding in downlink multi-user multiple-input single-output (MU-MISO) systems with phase-shift-keying (PSK) signals. A new closed-form expression is derived for the moment generating function (MGF) of the received signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR). Then, the MGF is used to calculate the average symbol error probability (SEP) for the CI technique. In light of this, new exact analytical expression and very accurate asymptotic expression for the average SEP are presented. Based on the new SEP expressions, a power allocation scheme to minimize the sum SEPs (Min-Sum) is investigated, and analytical expression of the power allocation factors is derived. The numerical results show that, the CI precoding yields superior performance over conventional interference suppression precoding techniques in terms of SEP. Furthermore, the Min-Sum power allocation scheme provides additional up to 10dB gains in the transmit SNR compared to equal power allocation technique.
