Abstract

This work considers how the presence of quantized channel information obtained from a feedback link may be utilized for determining a transmit weighting matrix that improves the performance of a predetermined orthogonal space-time block (OSTB) code. To reduce the effects of feedback delay, quantization errors and feedback channel bit errors, methods based on vector quantization for noisy channels are used in the design of the feedback link. The resulting transmission scheme and feedback link take the imperfect nature of the channel information into account while combining the benefits of conventional beamforming with those provided by OSTB coding.
