摘要:
A mobile device estimates channel state information (CSI) comprising, for example, CQI and/or SNR, for a downlink channel. The estimated CSI is non-uniformly quantized and transmitted to the base station over a finite-rate feedback channel. Different portions of the estimated CSI are quantized using different quantization step sizes, which are determined according to a performance metric function such as a channel capacity function of the estimated CSI. A quantization step size for a portion of the estimated CSI is increased if a low distribution probability is indicated by the portion of the estimated CSI. A quantization step size for a portion of the estimated CSI is decreased if a high distribution probability is indicated. The mobile device quantizes the estimated CSI using the determined quantization step sizes to transmit to the base station over the finite-rate feedback channel. Downlink data transmission is received according to the transmitted CSI.

摘要:
Channel state information in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) pre-coding system is quantized onto a codebook, which comprises one or more unitary matrices, using a cost function. Voronoi regions are computed from the codebook. The codebook may be updated based on the computed Voronoi regions. The channel state information may comprise a matrix V. The cost function f(A) is defined by the following relationship: f ( A ) = ( 1 N ∑ j = 1 N a jj 2 ) where A is a matrix of size N by N and aij is element (i,j) of matrix A. Voronoi regions may be generated from the codebook for the unitary matrices. A set of matrices based on the Voronoi regions and the unitary matrices may be generated. Updating the codebook may be achieved by modifying the set of matrices into a new set of unitary matrices, where the new set of unitary matrices become the codebook.
