  Coarsely quantized massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems are
gaining more interest due to their power efficiency. We present a new precoding
technique to mitigate the Multi-User Interference (MUI) and the quantization
distortions in a downlink Multi-User (MU) MIMO system with coarsely Quantized
Constant Envelope (QCE) signals at the transmitter. The transmit signal vector
is optimized for every desired received vector taking into account the QCE
constraint. The optimization is based on maximizing the safety margin to the
decision thresholds of the receiver constellation modulation. Simulation
results show a significant gain in terms of the uncoded Bit Error Ratio (BER)
compared to the existing linear precoding techniques.
