A novel MMSE based codebook construction for MIMO precoded spatial multiplexing with limited feedback

This paper deals with the design and performance analysis of the transmission precoder optimization for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with limited feedback of channel state information (CSI). We assume that the receiver can get perfect channel knowledge by channel estimation while the transmitter only has partial channel knowledge from limited feedback. We present a minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion based codebook construction algorithm for MIMO pre- coded spatial multiplexing systems under a specific average power constraint. The optimal transmitter structure is employed in this paper. Simulation results show that the MMSE criteria based codebook construction algorithm with hybrid design of power allocation and precoding can achieve better performance than that of equal power allocation based codebook of previous research.     

Power duality for multi-antenna OFDM system in broadcast channel with user scheduling

This paper deals with design and analysis of user scheduling and power allocation for multi-antenna OFDM systems with DPC, ZF-DPC, ZF-BF and TDMA transmit strategies. We consider the general multi-user downlink scheduling problem and power minimization with multi-user rate constraints. According to the channel state, it is shown that there is a power optimal policy which selects a subset of users in each scheduling interval. We present user selection algorithms for DPC, ZF-DPC, ZF-BF and TDMA for multi-antenna OFDM system in broadcast channels, and we also present the practical water-filling solution in this paper. By the selected users with the consideration of fairness, we derive the power optimization algorithm with multi-user rate constraints. We also analyze the power duality of uplink-downlink for the transmit strategies of DPC, ZF-DPC and ZF-BF. Simulation results show that the present user-scheduling algorithm and power minimization algorithm can achieve good power performance, and that the scheduling algorithm can guarantee fairness.     

A simplified MMSE-based iterative receiver for MIMO systems

A simplified minimum mean square error （MMSE） detector is proposed for joint detection and decoding of multiple-input multiple-output （MIMO） systems. The matrix inversion lemma and the singular value decomposition （SVD） of the channel matrix are used to simplify the computation of the coefficient of the MMSE filter. Compared to the original MMSE detector, the proposed detector has a much lower computational complexity with only a marginal performance loss. The proposed detector can also be applied to MIMO systems with high order modulations.
