Abstract
Zero-forcing beamforming (ZFBF) is a popular pre-coding scheme for MIMO systems. Most of the studies in the literature are under total power constraints. However, the per-antenna power constraints (PAPC) are more realistic. The state-of-the-art method is interior point method which is expensive to realize in practice due to the high computational complexity. Hence, a low complexity zero-forcing precoding scheme under the per-antenna power constraints is proposed in this paper. This is achieved by introducing a regularized dual method. Simulations are carried out to show the effectiveness of the proposed method, which has a low computational complexity. In addition, the algorithm can be implemented in parallel to further reduce the computational complexity.
