Abstract

In this paper, we focus on 1-bit precoding for large-scale antenna systems in the downlink based on the concept of constructive interference (CI). By formulating the optimization problem that aims to maximize the CI effect subject to the 1-bit constraint on the transmit signals, we mathematically prove that, when relaxing the 1-bit constraint, the majority of the obtained transmit signals already satisfy the 1-bit constraint. Based on this important observation, we propose a 1-bit precoding method via a partial branch-and-bound (P-BB) approach, where the BB procedure is only performed for the entries that do not comply with the 1-bit constraint. The proposed P-BB enables the use of the BB framework in large-scale antenna scenarios, which was not applicable due to its prohibitive complexity. Numerical results demonstrate a near-optimal error rate performance for the proposed 1-bit precoding algorithm.
