Multi-Antenna Broadcast Channels with Limited Feedback and User Selection
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyze the sum-rate performance of a multi-antenna downlink system carrying more users than transmit antennas, with partial channel knowledge at the transmitter due to finite rate feedback. In order to exploit multiuser diversity, we show that the transmitter must have, in addition to directional information, information regarding the quality of each channel. Such information should reflect both the channel magnitude and the quantization error. Expressions for the SINR distribution and the sum-rate are derived, and tradeoffs between the number of feedback bits, the number of users, and the SNR are observed. In particular, for a target performance, having more users reduces feedback load.

Multi-user Aware Limited Feedback for MIMO Systems
Consider a wireless communication system where the base station has multiple antennas and users have a single antenna. For both the multiple access and broadcast channels, the sum capacity scales at best linearly with the number of antennas at the base station and double logarithmically with the number of users as the user pool grows asymptotically. Achieving this optimal capacity scaling poten...
متن کاملExploiting Multiuser Diversity in MIMO Broadcast Channels with Limited Feedback
We consider a multiple antenna broadcast channel in which a base station equipped with M transmit antennas communicates with K ≥ M single-antenna receivers. Each receiver has perfect channel state information (CSI), whereas the transmitter has partial channel knowledge obtained via a limited rate feedback channel. Built upon multiuser interference bounds, we propose scalar feedback metrics that...
متن کاملHow Much Feedback Is Required for TDD Multi-Antenna Broadcast Channels with User Selection?
The enormous gains in a multi-antenna transmitter broadcast channel require the Channel State Information at the Transmitter (CSIT). Although the fundamental question “How much feedback is required for a broadcast channel?” has been treated in the literature to some extent, a more comprehensive treatment is certainly desirable. We study the time-division duplex broadcast channel with initial as...

Employment of the multiple-antenna transmitters/receivers in communication systems is known as a promising solution to provide high-data-rate wireless links. In the multiuser environments, the problems of signaling and fairness for multi-antenna systems have emerged as challenging problems. This dissertation deals with these problems in several multi-antenna multi-user scenarios. In part one, a...
متن کاملMulti User Diversity Evaluation in MIMO HSDPA Downlink Channels
A multiple transmit antenna, single receive antenna (per receiver) downlink channel with limited channel feedback is considered. Given a constraint on the total system-wide channel feedback, the following question is considered: is it preferable to get low-rate feedback from a large number of receivers or to receive high-rate/high-quality feedback from a smaller number of (randomly selected) re...
