Abstract
In this paper, we present a precoder design for multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) broadcast systems with rate splitting at the transmitter. The proposed scheme applies to both underloaded and overloaded communication systems and supports the transmission of multiple common and private streams. We show how the generalized singular value (GSVD) and multilinear generalized singular value (ML-GSVD) decompositions can be used to define the number of common and private streams and adjust the message split. Additionally, we present transmit precoding and receive combining designs that allow the simultaneous transmission of common and private streams but do not require successive interference cancellation (SIC) at the receivers and can be used in cases where the total number of streams does not exceed the number of transmit antennas.
