To solve this problem, this article proposes a channel inversion precoding scheme by using the lower bound of S1NR and zero-forcing (ZF) algorithm. However, the SINR mismatch between lower bound SINR and actual SINR causes the inaccurateness of adaptive modulation and coding (AMC). As a result, it causes degradation in performance. Simulation results show that channel inversion precoding provides lower throughput than that of single user multi-input multi-output (SU-MIMO) at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) (〉14 dB), due to the SINR mismatch, although the sum-rate of channel inversion precoding is higher than that of SU-MIMO at full SNR regime.展开更多
