There are many papers on LZF and LMMSE precoding A sub-optimal LP matrix such as a linear zero-forcing (LZF) precoder performs in high signal-to –noise-ratio (SNR) regime focusing on different design criteria in [9-12].

We adopt the sum of the achievable ergodic multicast rate as the design objective. We first show the optimal closed-form multicast signalling directions of each BS, which simplifies the coordinated multicast precoding problem into a coordinated beam domain power allocation problem. Via invoking the minorization-maximization framework, we then propose an iterative power allocation algorithm with guaranteed convergence to a stationary point. In addition, we derive the deterministic equivalent of the design objective to further reduce the optimization complexity via invoking the large-dimensional random matrix theory. Numerical results demonstrate the performance gain of the proposed coordinated approach over the conventional uncoordinated approach, especially for cell-edge UTs.

Introduction In massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems, large numbers of antennas are equipped at the base stations (BSs) to enable simultaneous transmission for different user terminals (UTs) in the same time and frequency transmission resources.

    What is the Value of Limited Feedback for MIMO Channels?¤ David J. Lovex, Robert W. Heath Jr.y, Wiroonsak Santipachz, Michael L. Honigz x School of Electrical and Computer Engineering Purdue University 465 Northwestern Ave. West Lafayette, IN 47907 USA [email protected] y Wireless Networking and Communications Group Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering The University of Texas at Austin Campus Mail Code: C0803 Austin, TX 78712 USA [email protected] z Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Northwestern University 2145 Sheridan Road Evanston, IL 60208 USA fsak, [email protected] July 6, 2004 Abstract Feedback in a communications system can enable the transmitter to exploit chan- nel conditions and avoid interference. In the case of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel, feedback can be used to specify a precoding matrix at the transmit- ter, which activates the strongest channel modes. In situations where the feedback is severely limited, important issues are how to quantize the information needed at the transmitter and how much improvement in associated performance can be obtained as a function of the amount of feedback available. We give an overview of some recent work in this area. Methods are presented for constructing a set of possible precoding matrices, from which a particular choice can be relayed to the transmitter. Perfor- mance results show that even a few bits of feedback can provide performance close to that with full channel knowledge at the transmitter.

  • A Study of MIMO Precoding Algorithm for WCDMA Uplink
    A study of MIMO precoding algorithm in WCDMA uplink Master's Thesis in Signals and Systems Sheng Huang & Mengbai Tao Department of Signals & Systems Communication Engineering Chalmers University of Technology Gothenburg, Sweden 2014 Master's Thesis EX044/2014 Abstract With rapidly increasing demand in high-speed data transmission, Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) techniques are widely used in current communication net- works, like Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA). MIMO in downlink of WCDMA has been studied for a long time, while in WCDMA uplink, the specification of how to choose precoder is still not defined yet. Precoding is an essential element in MIMO, aiming at mitigating interference between different data streams that are se- quences of digitally coded signals. Currently, a MIMO system suffer from two problems regarding precoding. Since channel information is needed for the precoding algorithm, one problem then is that it is difficult to model the channel characteristics in a frequency selective channel. The other problem is that only limited feedback is applicable in real system, since the cost of feedback overhead is far larger than the benefits from precod- ing if full channel information needs to be sent to the transmitter. The objective of this thesis is to investigate the maximum potential gain in the required Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) range for a given Block Error Rate (BLER) by using precoding and selecting a suitable precoding algorithm in the case of limited feedback in the WCDMA uplink. The maximum potential gain of precoding is considerable (1:2 dB at 0:5 BLER com- pared to a fixed precoder) in the case of limited feedback according to our simulations.

The basic idea is to use transmitter channel information precoding methods provide probability of error improvements to adaptively vary the transmission scheme for a fixed data-rate. compared with unprecoded spatial multiplexing [2], but linear This adaptation is done by varying the number of substreams and the rate of each substream in a precoded spatial multiplexing precoding does not guarantee full diversity order and full rate system. We show that these substreams can be designed to growth. This follows from the fact that linear precoders usually obtain full diversity and full rate gain using feedback from the limit the number of substreams transmitted in order to obtain receiver to transmitter.

This paper proposed a low-complexity hybrid precoding algorithm for mmWave massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. The traditional orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) has a large complexity, as it requires matrix inversion and known candidate matrices. Therefore, we propose a bird swarm algorithm (BSA) based matrix-inversion bypass (MIB) OMP (BSAMIBOMP) algorithm which has the feature to quickly search the BSA global optimum value. It only directly finds the array response vector multiplied by the residual inner product, so it does not require the candidate’s matrices. Moreover, it deploys the Banachiewicz–Schur generalized inverse of the partitioned matrix to decompose the high-dimensional matrix into low-dimensional in order to avoid the need for a matrix inversion operation.
