Abstract

This paper considers the multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) Rayleigh fading broadcast channel. We consider the case where the multiple transmit antennas are used to deliver independent data streams to multiple users via a multi-user technique known as vector perturbation. We derive expressions for the capacity in terms of the average energy of the precoded vector, and use this to derive a closed-form high-SNR upper bound, which we show to be tight via simulation. We then turn to the practical issue of user selection. We propose a low-complexity user selection algorithm that attempts to maximize the high-SNR sum rate upper bound. Simulations show that the algorithm outperforms other user selection algorithms of similar complexity.
