Abstract

Accurate channel state information (CSI) at base station (BS) is the key to achieve full multiplexing and diversity gain in traditional multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. In frequency-division-duplex (FDD) systems, it is obtained through downlink training and uplink feedback. However, the training and feedback overhead in massive MIMO systems is unacceptable for the large number of antennas equipped at BS. To reduce the CSI feedback overhead and improve CSI quantization accuracy, we propose a limited feedback scheme for spatio-temporal correlated massive MIMO channel. The proposed scheme jointly performs Karhunen-Loeve transform (KLT) and polar-cap quantization on CSI. For the compactly deployed antennas at BS, there exists spatial correlation in massive MIMO channel. When the user equipment (UE) moves slowly, adjacent channels feature temporal correlation. The high dimensional and spatial correlated CSI is compressed through KLT. Then the compressed CSI is normalized to be isotropic to perform polar-cap quantization. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme is capable of improving the sum-rate performance with limited feedback bits for massive MIMO systems.
