一句话总结

本文提出一种实用的下行链路多用户MIMO系统,采用简单的信道状态估计与反馈机制,表明当每个系数的反馈开销超过1比特时,量化数字反馈优于模拟反馈。在反馈延迟条件下,系统可实现最优复 multiplexing gain 的1/2F,且通过基于MIMO-MAC的可扩展反馈设计,在存在误码的反馈链路下仍保持鲁棒性能。

ABSTRACT

We consider a MIMO fading broadcast channel and compute achievable ergodic rates when channel state information is acquired at the receivers via downlink training and explicit channel feedback is performed to provide transmitter channel state information (CSIT). Both “analog” and quantized (digital) channel feedback are analyzed, and digital feedback is shown to be potentially superior when the feedback channel uses per channel coefficient is larger than 1. Also, we show that by proper design of the digital feedback link, errors in the feedback have a relatively minor effect even if simple uncoded modulation is used on the feedback channel. We extend our analysis to the case of fading MIMO Multiaccess Channel (MIMO-MAC) in the feedback link, as well as to the case of a time-varying channel and feedback delay. We show that by exploiting the MIMO-MAC nature of the uplink channel, a fully scalable system with both downlink multiplexing gain and feedback redundancy proportional to the number of base station antennas can be achieved. Furthermore, the feedback strategy is optimized by a non-trivial combination of time-division and space-division multiple-access. For the case of delayed feedback, we show that in the realistic case where the fading process has (normalized) maximum Doppler frequency shift 0 F < 1=2, a fraction 1 2F of the optimal multiplexing gain is achievable. The general conclusion of this work is that very significant downlink throughput is achievable with simple and efficient channel state feedback, provided that the feedback link is properly designed.
