Compressive Sensing for Feedback Reduction in MIMO Broadcast Channels
We propose a generalized feedback model and compressive sensing based
opportunistic feedback schemes for feedback resource reduction in MIMO
Broadcast Channels under the assumption that both uplink and downlink channels
undergo block Rayleigh fading. Feedback resources are shared and are
opportunistically accessed by users who are strong, i.e. users whose channel
quality information is above a certain fixed threshold. Strong users send same
feedback information on all shared channels. They are identified by the base
station via compressive sensing. Both analog and digital feedbacks are
considered. The proposed analog & digital opportunistic feedback schemes are
shown to achieve the same sum-rate throughput as that achieved by dedicated
feedback schemes, but with feedback channels growing only logarithmically with
number of users. Moreover, there is also a reduction in the feedback load. In
the analog feedback case, we show that the propose scheme reduces the feedback
noise which eventually results in better throughput, whereas in the digital
feedback case the proposed scheme in a noisy scenario achieves almost the
throughput obtained in a noiseless dedicated feedback scenario. We also show
that for a fixed given budget of feedback bits, there exist a trade-off between
the number of shared channels and thresholds accuracy of the feedback SINR.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, April 200
Distributed Compressive CSIT Estimation and Feedback for FDD Multi-user Massive MIMO Systems
To fully utilize the spatial multiplexing gains or array gains of massive
MIMO, the channel state information must be obtained at the transmitter side
(CSIT). However, conventional CSIT estimation approaches are not suitable for
FDD massive MIMO systems because of the overwhelming training and feedback
overhead. In this paper, we consider multi-user massive MIMO systems and deploy
the compressive sensing (CS) technique to reduce the training as well as the
feedback overhead in the CSIT estimation. The multi-user massive MIMO systems
exhibits a hidden joint sparsity structure in the user channel matrices due to
the shared local scatterers in the physical propagation environment. As such,
instead of naively applying the conventional CS to the CSIT estimation, we
propose a distributed compressive CSIT estimation scheme so that the compressed
measurements are observed at the users locally, while the CSIT recovery is
performed at the base station jointly. A joint orthogonal matching pursuit
recovery algorithm is proposed to perform the CSIT recovery, with the
capability of exploiting the hidden joint sparsity in the user channel
matrices. We analyze the obtained CSIT quality in terms of the normalized mean
absolute error, and through the closed-form expressions, we obtain simple
insights into how the joint channel sparsity can be exploited to improve the
CSIT recovery performance.Comment: 16 double-column pages, accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions
