چکیده

Optimal transmitter designs obeying the water-filling principle are well-documented; they are widely applied when the propagation channel is deterministically known and regularly updated at the transmitter. Because channel state information is impossible to be known perfectly at the transmitter in practical wireless systems, we design, in this paper, an optimal multiantenna transmitter based on the knowledge of mean values of the underlying channels. Our optimal transmitter design turns out to be an eigen-beamformer with multiple beams pointing to orthogonal directions along the eigenvectors of the correlation matrix of the estimated channel at the transmitter and with proper power loading across beams. The optimality pertains to minimizing an upper bound on the symbol error rate, which leads to better performance than maximizing the expected signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver. Coupled with orthogonal space-time block codes, two-directional eigen-beamforming emerges as a more attractive choice than conventional one-directional beamforming with uniformly improved performance, without rate reduction, and without essential increase in complexity. With multiple receive antennas and reasonably good feedback quality, the two-directional eigen-beamformer is also capable of achieving the best possible performance in a large range of transmit-power-to-noise ratios, without a rate penalty.

Optimal partial feedback design for MIMO block fading channels with causal noiseless feedback

In this paper, we focus in investigating the optimal MIMO transmission strategy and the optimal feedback strategy for forward channel capacity and forward error exponent of the MIMO block fading channels when the feedback link is causal and has a capacity constraint. In this paper, we assume a forward MIMO block fading channel where the channel state information is estimated at the receiver and...

Opportunistic Beamforming vs. Space-time Coding in a Queued Downlink

We investigate the different usage of multiple transmit antennas in a SDMA/TDMA single-cell downlink system under random packet arrivals, correlated block-fading channels and non-perfect channel state information at the transmitter due to a feedback delay. We derive the arrival rate stability region and the adaptive scheduling policy that stabilizes any arrival rate point inside the region with...

Optimal STBC Precoding with Channel Covariance Feedback for Minimum Error Probability

This paper develops the optimal linear transformation (or precoding) of orthogonal space-time block codes (STBC) for minimizing probability of decoding error, when the channel covariance matrix is available at the transmitter. We build on recent work that stated the performance criterion without solving for the transformation. In this paper, we provide a water-filling solution for multi-input s...

Transmit Diversity vs. Opportunistic Beamforming in Data Packet Mobile Downlink Transmission

We compare space-time coding (transmit diversity) and random “opportunistic” beamforming in a SDMA/TDMA single-cell downlink system with random packet arrivals, correlated block-fading channels and non-perfect channel state information at the transmitter due to a feedback delay. Our comparison is based on system stability. The ability of accurately predicting the channel SNR dominates the perfo...

An Adaptive Transmit Diversity with Orthogonal Space-Time Block Coding

Abstract – Design of space-time codes is based on the statistical analysis of the propagation channel. As knowledge of the channel characteristics is not available at the transmitter, the improvement introduced by antenna diversity is primarily relying on the channel having uncorrelated signal paths. We introduce a combination of eigenbeamforming with orthogonal space-time block codes at the tr...
