Wireless communication systems with energy harvester are attracting much attention due to their ability to improve the system operation time. Extensive research has been carried out on how to maximise the sum of mutual information over multiple time slots (i.e. the throughput). However, most research focuses on the energy harvesting transmitter with Gaussian inputs and single antenna. This study considers the throughput maximisation problem for an energy harvesting transmitter with causal energy constraint over multiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) channels. Different from existing works, the authors consider the MIMO system with finite‐alphabet inputs and partial instantaneous channel state information (CSI). Specifically, the transmitter knows the statistical CSI of the entire channel frame as well as the instantaneous CSI of current time slot. The precoder design in this scenario is an intractable optimisation problem with respect to multiple precoding matrices. The authors’ analysis shows that this difficult precoding problem can be equivalently transformed into a set of scalar optimisation subproblems with respect to the transmit power. To solve these subproblems, an efficient algorithm based on the dynamic programming is proposed. The authors analyse the performance of the proposed algorithm, and simulation results validate its effectiveness.
