Optimal zero-forcing precoding design - oversampled FB frame approach

This paper presents a frame analysis of Zero Forcing (ZF) precoding problem. It shows that from a frame point of view, the filter bank (FB) channel is a synthesis frame and its canonical dual analysis frame is the optimal ZF precoder under total power constraint. Based on this analysis, a new precoder design is presented. The new design removes the minimum phase assumption of polyphase FB channel in the existing methods and gives rise to optimal noncausal (stable) precoder. It provides a general framework for optimal zero-forcing precoding under total power constraint. The numerical results show that the new design outperforms existing causal stable design.
