Abstract
A precoder for precoding a vector of information symbols to be sent to a plurality of users, the precoder includes a user ordering and grouping unit configured to group the plurality of users depending on one or more quality of service indicators and on modulation and coding parameters associated with the plurality of users, the user ordering and grouping unit being configured to divide a predefined upper triangular precoding matrix into a plurality of sub-matrices and to divide the vector of information symbols into a plurality of sub-vectors, each sub-vector comprising information symbols to be sent to a group of users, the sub-vectors being arranged according to an arbitrary order of the one or more quality of service indicators; a precoding unit configured to determine a perturbation vector according to the minimization of a transmit power metric, the perturbation vector comprising a plurality of perturbation sub-vectors, each perturbation sub-vector corresponding to a sub-vector of information symbols, the precoding unit being configured to determine an estimate of each perturbation sub-vector by applying a recursive search algorithm.
