Abstract
In this report, a performance comparison between feedback method and feedback-less method to obtain channel state information (CSI) is carried out in multi-user MIMO precoding system. In many MIMO precoding
techniques, it is necessary to obtain the CSI in transmitter ahead of time. Two CSI obtaining techniques have been proposed. In feedback method, the estimated CSI at the receiver is fed back to the transmitter. On the other hand, feedback-less method has been proposed. In order to use the feedback-less method, channel reciprocity is required. However, the transmitter and receiver RF circuits must be calibrated to achieve channel reciprocity. In the feedback method, throughput performance deterioration is caused by the inaccuracy of the fed back CSI. It is expected that this deterioration of the throuhput performance is more severe in the case of multi-user MIMO than the case of single-user MIMO. This report shows the effectiveness of the feedback-less method to obtain the CSI in multi-user
MIMO precoding system.
