Special emphasis is also put on practical feedback reporting mechanisms, including the effects of mobile measurement and estimation errors, reporting delays, and CQI quantization and compression. The performance of the overall scheduling and feedback re-porting process is investigated in details, in terms of cell throughput, coverage and resource allocation fairness, by using extensive quasistatic cellular system simulations in practical OFDMA system environment with frequency reuse of 1. The performance simulations show that by using the proposed modified PF ap-proach, significant coverage improvements in the order of 50% can be obtained at the expense of only 10-15% throughput loss, for all reduced feedback reporting schemes. This reflects highly improved fairness in the radio resource management (RRM) compared to other existing schedulers, without essentially com-promising the cell capacity. Furthermore, we demonstrate the improved functionality increase in radio re-source management for UE’s utilizing multi-antenna diversity receivers.展开更多

Iterative channel estimation( ICE) can be used to refine channel estimation with limited number of pilots,by coupling the channel estimator with channel decoder. In this paper,various feedback strategies in ICE are discussed. The performance of a decision feedback based on the cost function is improved by modifying the design and another four feedback strategies are summarized,including hard/soft decision feedback and their threshold-controlled versions. Simulation results show that ICE can achieve impressive gains over the non-iterative receiver and the gains are more significant with fewer pilots. Furthermore,soft decision feedback outperforms hard decision feedback; while the feedback based on the cost function and soft decision feedback have quite close performance.展开更多

The aim is to solve the problem of large feedback overhead for channel state information （CSI） in every subcarrier. A novel CSI feedback scheme is proposed based on the theory of compressed sensing （CS）. We propose a feedback from the receiver that only feedback the sparse channel parameters. Additionally, prediction of the channel state is proposed every several symbols to realize the AM in practice. We describe a linear channel prediction algorithm which is used in adaptive transmission. This system has been tested in the real underwater acoustic channel. The linear channel prediction makes the AM transmission techniques more feasible for acoustic channel communications. The simulation and experiment show that significant improvements can be obtained both in bit error rate （BER） and throughput in the AM scheme compared with the fixed Quadrature Phase Shift Keying （QPSK） modulation scheme. Moreover, the performance with standard CS outperforms the Discrete Cosine Transform （DCT） method.展开更多

In the scheme, the channel nullspace quantization vector is used as the transmit beamformer of the interference user directly based on channel null-space feedback. Since the interference can be determined at the receiver, interference rejection combining （IRC） is jointly utilized to cancel the inter-user interference. Simulation re- sults show that the proposed scheme can provide substantial sum-rate improvement especially at high SNR.展开更多

Based on the analysis, the concept of the Tomographic Channel Model(TCM) is presented. With cluster algorithms, the static CSI database can be built in an off-line manner. The static CSI database can provide prior information to help pilot design to reduce overhead and improve accuracy in channel estimation. A new CSI prediction method and a new channel estimation method between different frequency bands are introduced based on the static CSI database. Using measurement data, the performance of the new channel prediction method is compared with that of the Auto Regression(AR) predictor. The results indicate that the prediction range of the new method is better than that of the AR method and the new method can predict with fewer pilot symbols. Using measurement data, the new channel estimation method between different frequency bands can estimate the CSI of one frequency band based on known CSI of another frequency band without any feedback.展开更多
