Limited Feedback in Multiple-Antenna Systems with One-Bit Quantization
Communication systems with low-resolution analog-to-digital-converters (ADCs)
can exploit channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT) and receiver.
This paper presents initial results on codebook design and performance analysis
for limited feedback systems with one-bit ADCs. Different from the
high-resolution case, the absolute phase at the receiver is important to align
the phase of the received signals when the received signal is sliced by one-bit
ADCs. A new codebook design for the beamforming case is proposed that
separately quantizes the channel direction and the residual phase.Comment: Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems, and Computers 201
Bayes-Optimal Joint Channel-and-Data Estimation for Massive MIMO with Low-Precision ADCs
This paper considers a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) receiver with
very low-precision analog-to-digital convertors (ADCs) with the goal of
developing massive MIMO antenna systems that require minimal cost and power.
Previous studies demonstrated that the training duration should be {\em
relatively long} to obtain acceptable channel state information. To address
this requirement, we adopt a joint channel-and-data (JCD) estimation method
based on Bayes-optimal inference. This method yields minimal mean square errors
with respect to the channels and payload data. We develop a Bayes-optimal JCD
estimator using a recent technique based on approximate message passing. We
then present an analytical framework to study the theoretical performance of
the estimator in the large-system limit. Simulation results confirm our
analytical results, which allow the efficient evaluation of the performance of
quantized massive MIMO systems and provide insights into effective system
design.Comment: accepted in IEEE Transactions on Signal Processin
Full-Duplex Massive MIMO Relaying Systems with Low-Resolution ADCs
International audienceThis paper considers a multipair amplify-and-forward massive MIMO relaying system with low-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) at both the relay and destinations. The channel state information (CSI) at the relay is obtained via pilot training, which is then utilized to perform simple maximum-ratio combining/maximum-ratio transmission processing by the relay. Also, it is assumed that the destinations use statistical CSI to decode the transmitted signals. Exact and approximated closed-form expressions for the achievable sum rate are presented, which enable the efficient evaluation of the impact of key system parameters on the system performance. In addition, optimal relay power allocation scheme is studied, and power scaling law is characterized. It is found that, with only low-resolution ADCs at the relay, increasing the number of relay antennas is an effective method to compensate for the rate loss caused by coarse quantization. However, it becomes ineffective to handle the detrimental effect of low-resolution ADCs at the destination. Moreover, it is shown that deploying massive relay antenna arrays can still bring significant power savings, i.e., the transmit power of each source can be cut down proportional to 1/M to maintain a constant rate, where M is the number of relay antennas
