ABSTRACT
We consider the application of a channel state information (CSI) based multi-user (MU) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) scheme to the downlink of 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular networks. For that purpose, we propose a novel feedback method for providing CSI to the base stations (BSs) based upon standard vector quantization techniques. Moreover, we introduce and compare different ways for additionally signaling information about the interference situation observed by a certain user equipment (UE) to its serving BS. Apart from the actual CSI itself, the interference information is essential for choosing appropriate precoders and particularly for facilitating an efficient link adaptation. The performance of the proposed scheme is thoroughly investigated for different parameter settings by means of extensive system-level simulations and it is shown that considerable performance gains can be obtained compared to standard LTE Release 8 networks, which support channel quality indicator (CQI) feedback only.

A new SLNR-based linear precoding for downlink multi-user multi-stream MIMO systems
Signal-to-leakage-and-noise ratio (SLNR) is a promising criterion for linear precoder design in multi-user (MU) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. It decouples the precoder design problem and makes closed-form solution available. In this ...
An opportunistic scheduling algorithm using aged CSI in massive MIMO systems
In time-division duplex (TDD) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, the spatial multiplexing gain cannot be fully achieved since available pilot resources at each channel coherence time interval are limited. In this paper, we propose an ...
