Abstract:

In the transmitting, beamforming, and receiving combing (TBRC) MIMO system, a codebook based feedback strategy is usually used to provide the transmitter with the beamforming vector. The adopted codebook affects the system performance considerably. Therefore, the codebook design is a key technology in the TBRC MIMO system. In this article, the unitary space vector quantization (USVQ) codebook design criterion is proposed to design optimal codebooks for various spatial correlated MIMO channels. And the unitary space K-mean (USK) codebook generating algorithm is provided to generate the USVQ codebooks. Simulations show that the capacities of the feedback based TBRC systems using USVQ codebooks are very close to those of the ideal cases.
