Robust THP Transceiver for MIMO Interference Channel with Reduced Complexity

Abstract

This letter considers the robust Tomlinson-Harashima Precoding(THP) transceiver design for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) interference channel (IC). Assuming bounded channel state information (CSI) error, we deal with the optimization for minimizing the worst case per-user mean square error (MSE) and sum MSE. We present an approximate approach to derive the upper bound of the constraint leading to less semidefinite. Then the alternate approach is adopted to update the receiver matrix by solving second-order-cone programming (SOCP), and update the transmitter matrix and feedback matrix by solving semidefinite program (SDP), respectively. Simulation results show that the proposed method achieves similar performance of the S-procedure method, whereas the computation complexity is reduced significantly, especially for the system with large number of transmit antennas.
