Abstract

Design strategy for non-regenerative multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relay system with partial channel state information (CSI) is developed. We assume that the CSI of the base station-relay link is fully known to the relay, while the CSI of the relay-mobile station link is not known except its channel statistics. Based on this model, weighting matrices to increase ergodic capacity is proposed for downlink and uplink MIMO-relay system, respectively, with the approximation for both the high and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region. We also propose a switching scheme to cover the intermediate SNR region. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the conventional one especially when the SNR becomes high.
