Abstract

An apparatus and a method for determining an optimum integer perturbation vector of a low complexity in a multiple antenna system include a transmitter that transmits data using an optimum integer perturbation vector of a low complexity in a multiple antenna system includes a module pre-processor, a shift pre-processor, and a precoder. The modulo pre-processor adds an integer perturbation vector to a transmission signal vector. The shift pre-processor phase-shifts a pseudo inverse matrix of a channel matrix using a phase angle. The precoder precodes a transmission signal vector perturbed by the integer perturbation vector using the phase-shifted pseudo inverse matrix of the channel matrix.
