Abstract
Next-generation wireless communications rely on multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) techniques to achieve high data rates. Feedback of channel information can be used in MIMO precoding to fully activate the strongest channel modes and improve MIMO performance. Unfortunately, the bandwidth of the control channel by which the feedback is conveyed is severely limited. An important issue is how to improve the MIMO precoding performance with minimal feedback. In this paper, we present a method that uses a rotating codebook technique to effectively improve the precoding performance without the need to increase feedback overhead. The basic idea of the rotating codebook precoding is to expend the effective precoding codebook size via rotating multiple codebooks so that the number of feedback bits remains unchanged. Simulation results are presented to show the performance gain of the proposed rotating codebook precoding over conventional precoding.
