Pre-filters design for weighted sum rate maximization in multiuser time reversal downlink systems^☆

Abstract

In high-speed multiuser Time Reversal (TR) downlink systems, the transmission rate is degraded due to the presence of severe inter-user and inter-symbol interference. Moreover, maximizing the weighted sum rate in such systems is a critical objective, since the weighting factors represent the priority of different users in different applications. However, it faces significant challenges as it is an NP-hard and non-convex problem. In order to suppress these interferences and maximize the weighted sum rate, in this paper we present a novel approach for the joint design of the pre-filters. The proposed method applies successive convex approximation to transform the original problem into a Second-Order Cone Programming (SOCP) problem. Then, a low-complexity iterative algorithm is provided to effectively solve the resulting SOCP problem. According to the simulation results, the proposed method reaches a local optimum within a few iterations and demonstrates superior performance in terms of weighted sum rate compared to the current algorithm.;Keywords : Pre-filters design;Successive convex approximation;Second-order cone programming;Time reversal;Weighted sum rate
