Abstract

A simple structure to exploit both long-term and partial short-term channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT) over a family of correlated multiple-antenna channels is proposed. Partial short-term CSIT in the form of a weighting matrix is combined with a unitary transformation based on the long-term channel statistics. The heavily quantized feedback link is directly optimized to maximize the expected achievable rate under different power constraints, using vector quantization and convex optimization techniques on a sample channel distribution. Robustness against errors in the feedback link is also pursued with tools in channel optimized vector quantization. Simulations indicate the benefits of the proposed scheme.
