Adaptive Bit Partitioning for Multicell Intercell Interference Nulling with Delayed Limited Feedback
Base station cooperation can exploit knowledge of the users' channel state
information (CSI) at the transmitters to manage co-channel interference. Users
have to feedback CSI of the desired and interfering channels using
finite-bandwidth backhaul links. Existing codebook designs for single-cell
limited feedback can be used for multicell cooperation by partitioning the
available feedback resources between the multiple channels. In this paper, a
new feedback-bit allocation strategy is proposed, as a function of the delays
in the communication links and received signal strengths in the downlink.
Channel temporal correlation is modeled as a function of delay using the
Gauss-Markov model. Closed-form expressions for bit partitions are derived to
allocate more bits to quantize the stronger channels with smaller delays and
fewer bits to weaker channels with larger delays, assuming random vector
quantization. Cellular network simulations are used to show that the proposed
algorithm yields higher sum-rates than an equal-bit allocation technique.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, July 201
Limited Feedback Design for Interference Alignment on MIMO Interference Networks with Heterogeneous Path Loss and Spatial Correlations
Interference alignment is degree of freedom optimal in K -user MIMO
interference channels and many previous works have studied the transceiver
designs. However, these works predominantly focus on networks with perfect
channel state information at the transmitters and symmetrical interference
topology. In this paper, we consider a limited feedback system with
heterogeneous path loss and spatial correlations, and investigate how the
dynamics of the interference topology can be exploited to improve the feedback
efficiency. We propose a novel spatial codebook design, and perform dynamic
quantization via bit allocations to adapt to the asymmetry of the interference
topology. We bound the system throughput under the proposed dynamic scheme in
terms of the transmit SNR, feedback bits and the interference topology
parameters. It is shown that when the number of feedback bits scales with SNR
as C_{s}\cdot\log\textrm{SNR}, the sum degrees of freedom of the network are
preserved. Moreover, the value of scaling coefficient C_{s} can be
significantly reduced in networks with asymmetric interference topology.Comment: 30 pages, 6 figures, accepted by IEEE transactions on signal

Feedback Allocation For OFDMA Systems With Slow Frequency-domain Scheduling
We study the problem of allocating limited feedback resources across multiple
users in an orthogonal-frequency-division-multiple-access downlink system with
slow frequency-domain scheduling. Many flavors of slow frequency-domain
scheduling (e.g., persistent scheduling, semi-persistent scheduling), that
adapt user-sub-band assignments on a slower time-scale, are being considered in
standards such as 3GPP Long-Term Evolution. In this paper, we develop a
feedback allocation algorithm that operates in conjunction with any arbitrary
slow frequency-domain scheduler with the goal of improving the throughput of
the system. Given a user-sub-band assignment chosen by the scheduler, the
feedback allocation algorithm involves solving a weighted sum-rate maximization
at each (slow) scheduling instant. We first develop an optimal
dynamic-programming-based algorithm to solve the feedback allocation problem
with pseudo-polynomial complexity in the number of users and in the total
feedback bit budget. We then propose two approximation algorithms with
complexity further reduced, for scenarios where the problem exhibits additional
structure.Comment: Accepted to IEEE Transactions on Signal Processin
