Low-complexity multiuser MIMO downlink system based on a small-sized CQI quantizer

초록

It is known that the conventional semi-orthogonal user selection based on a greedy algorithm cannot provide a globally optimal solution due to its semi-orthogonal property. To find a more optimal user set and prevent the waste of the feedback resource at the base station, we present a multiuser multiple-input multiple-output system using a random beamforming (RBF) scheme, in which one unitary matrix is used. To reduce feedback overhead for channel quality information (CQI), we propose an efficient CQI quantizer based on a closed-form expression of expected SINR for selected users. Numerical results show that the RBF with the proposed CQI quantizer provides better throughput than conventional systems under minor levels of feedback.
