Abstract

In this paper, a novel scheme is proposed to reconstruct downlink channel for frequency-division-duplex (FDD) systems from uplink channel state information (CSI) with limited feedback. We adopt the Newtonized orthogonal matching pursuit (NOMP) algorithm to estimate the frequency-independent parameters of the delays of a multi-path channel through uplink training. The gain of each path is further refined through downlink training using least squares (LS) algorithm and sent back to the base station (BS). Using the uplink-estimated delays and the downlink-refined gains, the BS reconstructs the downlink multipath channel. Simulations and over-the-air tests are conducted to examine the performance of the proposed NOMP-LS-based reconstruction scheme for the downlink channel. Results confirm the effectiveness of the NOMP-LS scheme and that the reconstructed channel is accurate.
