To overcome the need for symbol-level IE precoding to frequently update the precoding matrix, we propose to jointly optimize all the precoders or transmit signals within a transmission block. The resultant precoders only need to be updated once per block, and while not necessarily constant over all the symbol slots, we refer to the technique as block-level slot-variant IE precoding. Through a careful examination of the optimal structure and the explicit duality inherent in block-level power minimization (PM) and signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) balancing (SB) problems, we discover that the joint optimization can be decomposed into subproblems with smaller variable sizes. As a step further, we propose block-level slot-invariant IE precoding by adding a structural constraint on the slot-variant IE precoding to maintain a constant precoder throughout the block. A novel linear precoder for IE is further presented, and we prove that the proposed slot-variant and slot-invariant IE precoding share an identical solution when the number of symbol slots does not exceed the number of users. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed precoders achieve a significant complexity reduction compared against benchmark schemes, without sacrificing performance. date: 2023-12-30 date_type: published publisher: ArXiv official_url: https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2401.00166 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2214912 lyricists_name: Masouros, Christos lyricists_id: CMASO14 actors_name: Masouros, Christos actors_id: CMASO14 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: CoRR volume: abs/24 place_of_pub: Ithaca, NY, USA pages: 14 citation: Yang, Junwen; Li, Ang; Liao, Xuewen; Masouros, Christos; Swindlehurst, AL; (2023) Block-Level MU-MISO Interference Exploitation Precoding: Optimal Structure and Explicit Duality.
