Multi-user Linear Precoding for Multi-polarized Massive MIMO System under Imperfect CSIT
The space limitation and the channel acquisition prevent Massive MIMO from
being easily deployed in a practical setup. Motivated by current deployments of
LTE-Advanced, the use of multi-polarized antennas can be an efficient solution
to address the space constraint. Furthermore, the dual-structured precoding, in
which a preprocessing based on the spatial correlation and a subsequent linear
precoding based on the short-term channel state information at the transmitter
(CSIT) are concatenated, can reduce the feedback overhead efficiently. By
grouping and preprocessing spatially correlated mobile stations (MSs), the
dimension of the precoding signal space is reduced and the corresponding
short-term CSIT dimension is reduced. In this paper, to reduce the feedback
overhead further, we propose a dual-structured multi-user linear precoding, in
which the subgrouping method based on co-polarization is additionally applied
to the spatially grouped MSs in the preprocessing stage. Furthermore, under
imperfect CSIT, the proposed scheme is asymptotically analyzed based on random
matrix theory. By investigating the behavior of the asymptotic performance, we
also propose a new dual-structured precoding in which the precoding mode is
switched between two dual-structured precoding strategies with 1) the
preprocessing based only on the spatial correlation and 2) the preprocessing
based on both the spatial correlation and polarization. Finally, we extend it
to 3D dual-structured precoding.Comment: accepted to IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communication
Scaling up MIMO: Opportunities and Challenges with Very Large Arrays
This paper surveys recent advances in the area of very large MIMO systems.
With very large MIMO, we think of systems that use antenna arrays with an
order of magnitude more elements than in systems being built today, say a
hundred antennas or more. Very large MIMO entails an unprecedented number of
antennas simultaneously serving a much smaller number of terminals. The
disparity in number emerges as a desirable operating condition and a practical
one as well. The number of terminals that can be simultaneously served is
limited, not by the number of antennas, but rather by our inability to acquire
channel-state information for an unlimited number of terminals. Larger numbers
of terminals can always be accommodated by combining very large MIMO technology
with conventional time- and frequency-division multiplexing via OFDM. Very
large MIMO arrays is a new research field both in communication theory,
propagation, and electronics and represents a paradigm shift in the way of
thinking both with regards to theory, systems and implementation. The ultimate
vision of very large MIMO systems is that the antenna array would consist of
small active antenna units, plugged into an (optical) fieldbus.Comment: Accepted for publication in the IEEE Signal Processing Magazine,
