Abstract: We propose an energy-efficient vector perturbation (VP) technique for the downlink of multiuser multiple-input-single-output (MU-MISO) systems. In contrast to conventional VP where the search for perturbation vectors involves all users' symbols, here, the perturbation is applied to a subset of the transmitted symbols. This, therefore, introduces a performance-complexity tradeoff, where the complexity is greatly reduced compared to VP by limiting the dimensions of the sphere search, at the expense of a performance penalty compared to VP. By chan...
