摘要:
We study constructive interference based block-level beamforming (CI-BLB) in the downlink of multi-user multiple-input single-output (MU-MISO) systems. CI-BLB achieves improved performance over the traditional CI-based symbol-level beamforming (CI-SLB) method, because of its more intelligent power allocation scheme over the considered block of symbol slots. In this paper, we design a low-complexity algorithm based on the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) framework, which can efficiently solve QP problems. We analyze the convergence and complexity of the proposed algorithm. Numerical results validate the optimality of the proposed algorithm, and further show that the proposed algorithm offers a flexible performance-complexity tradeoff by limiting the maximum number of iterations, which motivates the use of CI-BLB in practical wireless systems.
