Abstract:
Combining spatial multiplexing with linear unitary precoding allows for high data rates, but requires a feedback link from the receiver to the transmitter. We focus on quantizing and feeding back the precoder itself, since it outperforms quantized channel feedback. More specifically, we propose a modified precoder quantization approach that outperforms the conventional one. We investigate both the linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) detector, which minimizes the mean square error (MSE) between the transmitted and estimated symbols, and the singular value decomposition (SVD) detector, which is a unitary detector that aims at diagonalizing the channel matrix. In this context, we illustrate that the LMMSE detector performs slightly better than the SVD detector. We also study precoder extrapolation, when the precoder is only fed back at a limited number of time instances, as well as a related detector extrapolation scheme for the LMMSE and SVD detector, when the channel is only known at some specific time instances. Simulation results illustrate the efficiency of the proposed extrapolation methods.
