Error Probability Analysis and Power Allocation for Interference Exploitation Over Rayleigh Fading Channels

This paper considers the performance analysis of constructive interference (CI) precoding technique in multi-user multiple-input single-output (MU-MISO) systems with a finite constellation phase-shift keying (PSK) input alphabet. Firstly, analytical expressions for the moment generating function (MGF) and the average of the received signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) are derived. Then, based on the derived MGF expression the average symbol error probability (SEP) for the CI precoder with PSK signaling is calculated. In this regard, new exact and very accurate asymptotic approximation for the average SEP are provided. Building on the new performance analysis, different power allocation schemes are considered to enhance the achieved SEP. In the first scheme, power allocation based on minimizing the sum symbol error probabilities (Min-Sum) is studied, while in the second scheme the power allocation based on minimizing the maximum SEP (Min-Max) is investigated. Furthermore, new analytical expressions of the throughput and power efficiency of the CI precoding in MU-MISO systems are also derived. The numerical results in this work demonstrate that, the CI precoding outperforms the conventional interference suppression precoding techniques with an up to 20 dB gain in the transmit SNR in terms of SEP, and up to 15 dB gain in the transmit SNR in terms of the throughput. In addition, the SEP-based power allocation schemes provide additional up to 13 dB gains in the transmit SNR compared to the conventional equal power allocation scheme.
