Neural network based nonlinear MU-MIMO precoding

Abstract:

A base station may apply a nonlinear precoding to data for MU-MIMO transmission to a set of paired UEs to generate a first set of precoder symbols, and apply a linear precoding to the first set of precoder symbols to generate a second set of precoder symbols using a linear precoding matrix. The base station may normalize the second set of precoder symbols, and scale the second set of precoder symbols, before transmission of the data, using a scaling factor based on one or more of modulation symbols or a channel matrix. The base station may apply the linear precoding to DMRS associated with the data. The base station may transmit the second set of precoder symbols based on the second set of precoder symbols and the DMRS to the set of paired UEs.
