Abstract
Broadband wireless channels are frequency selective in nature. In this paper, a novel precoder with finite impulse response (FIR) structure is proposed to maximize the throughput of the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) frequency-selective multicast channel. An iteration mechanism is investigated to obtain the desired FIR precoding matrix. In the iterative process, two associated parameters, namely the innovation orientation and the iteration step size, are jointly derived by the convex optimization program and the traditional Gauss-Newton algorithm. Convergence and complexity analyses are presented, and the numerical simulations indicate that the proposed method outperforms the existing schemes in the moderate to high signal to noise ratio (SNR) regime.
