Abstract

Precoded spatial multiplexing multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems using limited feedback are mainly based on the notion of delay-free feedback channels. In this paper, we take into account the time varying nature of the channel, and consider the feedback delay problem. In order to reduce performance degradation of spatial multiplexing systems in the presence of feedback delay, we propose the use of a Kalman filter linear predictor at the receiver to provide the transmitter with the predicted channel state information, and hence, mitigate the effect of feedback delay. The performance of this method is assessed using computer simulation, and the obtained results for the proposed channel prediction scheme demonstrate improved bit error rate performance for time varying Rayleigh fading channels.
