Abstract
This work investigates the following question: subject to strictly limited (finite-rate) feedback in a multi-user multi-antenna system, what channel state information (CSI) should we send back to the transmitter, and how should it be used? Considering the class of single-beam systems, we suggest a combination of beamforming (array gain) and multi-user diversity. It has been shown that in single antenna systems, one bit of feedback per user can capture almost all gains available due to multi-user diversity, therefore we propose and analyze a compound strategy that uses one bit for multi-user diversity and any further feedback bits for beamforming. We obtain the scaling laws of this compound strategy, showing that it scales as well as any single-beam system with full transmit-CSI.
