This paper considers coordinated multi-cell multicast precoding for massive multiple-input-multiple-output transmission where only statistical channel state information of all user terminals (UTs) in the coordinated network is known at the base stations (BSs). We adopt the sum of the achievable ergodic multicast rate as the design objective. We first show the optimal closed-form multicast signalling directions of each BS, which simplifies the coordinated multicast precoding problem into a coordinated beam domain power allocation problem. Via invoking the minorization-maximization framework, we then propose an iterative power allocation algorithm with guaranteed convergence to a stationary point. In addition, we derive the deterministic equivalent of the design objective to further reduce the optimization complexity via invoking the large-dimensional random matrix theory. Numerical results demonstrate the performance gain of the proposed coordinated approach over the conventional uncoordinated approach, especially for cell-edge UTs.

A Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) time-varying flat fading channel is considered. The transmitter obtained the channel state information (CSI) relying on the reciprocity principle or by the feedback from the receiver. Thus, channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT) is outdated due to the delay between the estimation of the channel and the transmission of the data. In order to achieve the maximum channel capacity, the transmitter linearly precoded the signal before transmission based on the outdated CSIT. Under the assumptions of wide-sense stationary uncorrelated scattering Rayleigh fading channels and Jake’s model, the instantaneous mutual information and ergodic capacity is derived for MIMO channels with outdated CSIT. The information outage probability of MIMO channel with outdated CSIT is also presented.

This paper concentrates on the designing of a robust Tomlinson-Harashima Precoder (THP) over multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels in wireless communication systems with assumption of imperfect channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter side. With the assumption that the covariance matrix of channel estimation error is available at the transmitter side, we design a THP that presents robustness against channel uncertainties. In the proposed robust THP, the transmit power is further minimized by using the Tilted constellation concept. This power minimization reduces the interchannel Interference (ICI) between subchannels and, furthermore, recovers some part of the THP's power loss. The bit error rate (BER) of the proposed system is further improved by using a power loading technique. Finally, the simulation results compare the performance of our proposed robust THP with a conventional MIMO-THP.
