© 2020 IEEE. Being spectrum-efficient and robust to adversarial interference caused by jammers are critical to tactical wireless systems. Leveraging multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques, this paper investigates the realization of spectrum-efficient multi-user MIMO communications in the presence of high-power jammers. Unlike most existing work that only exploits the MIMO degree of freedom to nullify the jamming signal, we also aim to improve the spectral efficiency of the system with the MIMO spatial multiplexing capability. To that end, we first design a combiner at the receiver spanning the null space of the jamming channels, which can completely remove the jamming signals and optimize the communication reception. We further propose two methods for the design of precoders at the transmitter to mitigate multi-user interference. Simulation results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed schemes in radio-frequency contested environments.
