- There are a number of multi-antenna transmission schemes or transmission such as transit diversity, closed-loop spatial multiplexing or open-loop spatial multiplexing. Closed-loop MIMO (CL-MIMO) relies on more extensive feedback from the mobile terminal.
-
FIG. 1 is the block diagram of the wireless communication system for 4Tx CL-MIMO using closed-loop spatial multiplexing according to one embodiment. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , the communication system may be any type of wireless communication system, including but not limited to a MIMO system, SDMA system, CDMA system, OFDMA system and OFDM system, etc. In the communication system, the wireless communication system using closed-loop spatial multiplexing according to one embodiment comprises atransmitter 10 and areceiver 20. - For the downlink CL MIMO, the
transmitter 10 may act as a base station, while thereceiver 20 may act as a subscriber station, which can be virtually any type of wireless one-way or two-way communication device such as a cellular telephone, wireless equipped computer system, and wireless personal digital assistant. Of course, the receiver/subscriber station 20 can also transmits signals which are received by the transmitter/base station 10. - Especially for the uplink CL MIMO, the
transmitter 10 may act as a subscriber station, while thereceiver 20 may act as a base station. - The signals communicated between the
transmitter 10 and thereceiver 20 can include voice, data, electronic mail, video, and other data, voice, and video signals. - In operation, the
transmitter 10 transmits a signal data stream through one or more antennas and over a channel to areceiver 20, which combines the received signal from one or more receive antennas to reconstruct the transmitted data. To transmit the signal, thetransmitter 10 prepares a transmission signal represented by the vector for the signal. - The
transmitter 10 comprises alayer mapper 30 and aprecoder 40. - The layer mapper 30 of the
transmitter 10 may map one or two codewords, corresponding to one or two transport, to the layers NL which may range from a minimum of one layer up to a maximum number of layers equal to the number of antenna ports. In case of multi-antenna transmission, there can be up to two transport blocks of dynamic size for each TTI (Transmission Time Interval), where each transport block corresponds to one codeword in case of downlink/uplink spatial multiplexing. In other words, the block of modulation symbols (one block per each transport block) refers to as a codeword. - The number of streams capable of being transmitted can be decided according to rank number. The
transmitter 10 measures a channel status for each layer, selects the best channel having the best channel status from among several layers, and transmits signal via the selected channel. - Rank adaptation may be considered to enhance the performance according to the change of channel status. For each rank (
rank 1 to 4), one mapping relationship between codewords and layers is allowed. Forrank 1, a codeword of CW1 (a first codeword block 1) can be transmitted one layers. Forrank 2, thetransmitter 10 simultaneously transmits two codewords via two layers. - Hereinafter, the rank or the channel rank means the number of layers that should, preferably, be used for downlink transmission to the terminal. For example, the
rank 3 means three layers that should, preferably, be used for downlink transmission to the terminal. -
FIG. 2 toFIG. 6 are the block diagram of the transmitter ofFIG. 1 for 4Tx CL-MIMO according to the other embodiments. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , forrank 3, thelayer mapper 30 may map two set of codewords CW1 and CW2 into three layers L1 to L3. Thelayer mapper 30 may map one CW1 of codewords into the first layer L1. Thelayer mapper 30 may map the other CW2 of codewords into the second and the third layers L2 and L3 using a serial toparallel converter 35 as shown inFIG. 3 . - After layer mapping by the
layer mapper 30, a set of NL symbols (one symbol from each layer) is linearly combined and mapped to the NA antenna port by theprecoder 40. This combining/mapping can be described by means of a precoding matrix P of size NL×NA. - For rank 2 (NL=2) and four transmitting antenna ports (NA=4), the
precoder 40 precodes NL symbols and distributes them across four antenna ports by means of a precoding matrix P ofsize 2×4. - For rank 3 (NL=3) and four transmitting antenna ports (NA=4), the
precoder 40 precodes NL symbols and distributes them across four antenna ports by means of a precoding matrix P ofsize 3×4. - For rank 4 (NL=4) and four transmitting antenna ports (NA=4), the
precoder 40 precodes NL symbols and distributes them across four antenna ports by means of a precoding matrix P ofsize 4×4. - The
precoder 40 has its own codebook, which is accessed to obtain a transmission is profile and/or precoding information to be used to process the input data signal to make best use of the existing channel conditions for individual receiver stations. - For
Rank 3, there is unbalance on layers allocation to different codeword. So the codebook design forrank 3 is special. As shown inFIG. 4 , the optimization forrank 3 codebook design is codeword based. We consider not only the precoding structure from 3 layers to the 4 Tx antennas, but also another structure for the codeword to layer mapping. We optimize the codebook design by this two codeword based optimization for every property such as distance, antenna correlation, power allocation and so on. - In addition, the
receiver 20 includes the same codebook for use in efficiently transferring information on either the feedback or feedforward channel. - distance property and antenna correlation
- In the proposed
rank 3 codebook design schemes, the balance power amplifier is considered for each antenna to make each antenna the same transmit power. The balance power amplifier should be fully and equally utilized to ensure this where the vector norm of each row of a precoding vector/matrix shall be the same. - The chordal distance between two matrices is defined as
formula 1. -
- A low CMP (Cubic Matrix-preserving) is a reasonable criterion for the codebook design in the power limited scenario.
- One CMP codebook is proposed for UL
4Tx MIMO Rank 3, as shown in Table 1. Table 1 is Cubic Metric Preserving codebook for UL4Tx MIMO Rank 3. -
TABLE 1 x = { +1, −1, +j, −j}. - However, if norms of column vectors are fixed to be same, Pas (balance power amplifier) lose the balance consequently. If norms of row vectors are set to be same, layer power imbalance issue rises. The power ratio of the 3 layers is 2:1:1 for
CMP Rank 3 codebook. - A rank-3 CMF (Cubic Matrix-friendly) precoding matrix can be written as follows.
-
- Here, Π is a row permutation matrix. The constant normalization factor is the Frobenius-norm of the matrix W.
- In
formula 2, the transmit power across the three layers (three columns) is equalized via diagonal scaling. It should be noted that such fixed scaling precludes layer-specific power control (open or closed loop). Consequently, the scaled CM-friendly precoding matrix can be written as follows. -
- Both cubic metric preserving (CMP), cubic metric friendly (CMF) and the mixed structure of both are proposed. However, in their codebook design, they does not consider the special codeword to layer mapping for
rank 3 to optimize the performance. Since the final system performance is layer based, the previous codebook design can not achieve the final optimal performance. - In these embodiments, an optimized
rank 3 codebook design method is proposed based on therank 3 codeword to layer mapping for UL 4Tx MIMO. Moreover, the optimized distance property and antenna correlation by the codeword based optimization with the CMP or CMF has been taken into account. The codebook should have good distance properties (e.g. measured by the chordal distance) to ensure good performances in low correlated scenario. - For the CMF codeword, the first codeword has 4 Tx antennas to transmit, and for the second codeword, each layer also has 2 Tx antennas to transmit. We need optimized the weight for all layers and codeword, not just antenna selection. Consider the second codeword has two layers. We put more effort on the second codeword. If we define the codebook for each codeword is C1={Wi (1)|i=0,1,L,CZ−1} for
codeword 1 and. - C2={Wi (2,3)|i=0,1,L,CZ−1} is for
codeword 2. - Where C={Wi|i=0,1,L,CZ−1} is the
rank 3 codebook and CZ is the codebook size. - Wi (1) is the first column of the ith matrix in the codebook.
- Wi (2,3) is the second and third column of the ith matrix in the codebook. We can define the codebook size of C1 and C2 as effective codebook size of
codeword 1 andcodeword 2. - In the codebook design, we try to make the effective codebook size for each codebook the same. And put more priority on the second codeword so that the final performance is the same.
- The
rank 3 codebook is designed by codeword based optimization. Therank 3 codebook is designed in the form of the base matrix for codebook U. - The base matrix for codebook U is optimized by the distance property and antenna correlation for each codeword.
- The above-described is said that for
rank 3, thelayer mapper 30 may map one of codewords into only one layer and the other of codewords into two layers and theprecoder 40 precodes NL symbols and distributes them across four antenna ports by means of a precoding matrix P ofsize 3×4. - In this case, one of codewords is mapped into only one layer which is allocated more antenna ports, for example of four antennas, two antenna ports for balance diversity gain. Antenna correlation property is also considered to optimize the antenna allocation especially when cross polarized antenna is used. Usually the antennas with larger distance and high different polarization may be allocated to one of codewords and the other is allocated for the other of codewords.
- For non-uniform antenna configurations such as dual-polarized arrays, the antenna element indexing is crucial since it may affect the performance due to the non-uniform correlation profile.
-
FIG. 7 depicts the indexing which we assume in this contribution (transmitter and receiver). - The antenna indexing is used to enumerate the spatial channel coefficients Hn,m where n and m are the receiver and transmitter antenna indices, respectively.
- The indexing for the 2 pairs of cross-polarized antennas (
FIG. 7( c)) represents the grouping of two antennas with the same polarization which tend to be more correlated. This is analogous to the indexing of 2 pairs of ULA inFIG. 7( b). - Table 2 is the base matrix for codebook U of codeword based optimization for distance and antenna correlation for
FIG. 7( a) andFIG. 7( b) -
TABLE 2 Index 0~3 Index4~7 - By the codebook in Table 2, the codewords to antenna port are shown in
FIGS. 5 and 6 according to index 0˜3 andindex 4˜7. - Table 3 is the base matrix for codebook U of codeword based optimization for distance and antenna correlation for

- The
layer mapper 30 may map one CW1 of codewords into the first layer L1. thelayer mapper 30 may map the other CW2 of codewords into the second and the third layers L2 and L3 using a serial toparallel converter 35 as shown inFIG. 3 . - For rank 3 (NL=3) and four transmitting antenna ports (NA=4), the
precoder 40 precodes NL symbols and distributes them across four antenna ports by means of a precoding matrix P ofsize 3×4 from the codebook. -
FIG. 8 is the block diagram of the transmitter ofFIG. 1 for 6TxCL-MIMO forrank 3 according to further another embodiment. - For rank 3 (NL=3), 6 transmitting antenna ports (NA=6) and two codewords, the
layer mapper 30 may map one CW1 of codewords into the first layer L1. Thelayer mapper 30 may map the other CW2 of codewords into the second and the third layers L2 and L3 using a serial toparallel converter 35. Theprecoder 40 precodes NL symbols and distributes them is across 6 antenna ports by means of a precoding matrix P ofsize 3×6 as follows. -
- In this case, one of codewords is mapped into only one layer which is allocated three antenna ports for balance diversity gain. The other of codewords is mapped into two layers which are allocated three antenna ports.
-
FIG. 9 is the block diagram of the transmitter ofFIG. 1 for 6Tx CL-MIMO forrank 3 according to further another embodiment. - For rank 5(NL=5), 6 transmitting antenna ports (NA=6) and two codewords, the
layer mapper 30 may map one CW1 of codewords into the first and the second layers L1 and L2 using a serial toparallel converter 35. Thelayer mapper 30 may map the other CW2 of codewords into the third to fifth layers L3 to L5 using a serial toparallel converter 35. - The
precoder 40 precodes 5 symbols and distributes them across 6 antenna ports by means of a precoding matrix P of size 5×6. - In this case, one of codewords is mapped into only two layers which are allocated three antenna ports for balance diversity gain. The other of codewords is mapped into three layers which are allocated three antenna ports.
- When the number of codewords is more than 3, functions of the
layer mapper 30 and theprecoder 40 is the same as described above. - Power Allocation
- The power allocation is optimized for each codeword for CMF. The
rank 3 codebook is designed by codeword based optimization. Therank 3 codebook is designed in the form of U×, where U is the base matrix for codebook and is the power allocation matrix. The base matrix for codebook U is the same as described above. -
-
- In formula 5, λ1, λ2, λ3 are power allocation factor and λ1+λ2+λ3=1. λi is for the first codeword CW1, and λ2, λ3 is for second codeword cw2 based on the LTE codeword to layer mapping pattern. That is to find the optimal power allocation factor in the way that λ1 Vs. λ2=λ3.

TABLE 5 Index 0~3 . . . . . . . . . Index 4~7. . . . . . . . . . . . - layer shifting and receiver type
- The codebook is optimized by taking the receiver type and the layer shifting into account.
- For the MMSE receiver, the above optimization is enough. Since the SIC receiver is also codeword based, it need to be considered for another optimization. For
rank 3, it is is possible to detect the second codeword at first since it has two layer signals. After it removes the second codeword, there will be no interference any more. So power allocation factor need to be further optimized for the SIC receiver. - Moreover, if layer shifting is considered, we also should re-optimize the codebook design. Because there is also high diversity for the first codeword, it is better to design the codebook also in layer shift way as in the example.
- Table 6 is Codebook for codeword based optimization for layer shifting.
-
TABLE 6 Index . . . - It should be noted that all the optimization in the proposed algorithm is codeword based, not layer based.
- In the
previous rank 3 codebook design for UL MIMO, they does not consider the special codeword to layer mapping forrank 3 to optimize the performance. Since the final system performance is layer based, the previous codebook design can not achieve the final optimal performance. - In these embodiments, an optimized rank codebook design method is proposed is based on the rank codeword to layer mapping.
- Since link adaptation is codeword based in the proposed codebook design, we optimized the codebook design by allocating antenna ports, power between different codewords to get the final optimal performance. Moreover, antenna cross polarized, layer shifting and receiver type is also considered for the codebook design.
- To assist the transmitter in selecting a suitable precoding matrix for transmission by the
transmitter 10, thereceiver 20 may report channel information such as a recommended number of layers (expressed as a Rank Indication, RI) or a recommended precoding matrix (Precoding Matrix Index, PMI) corresponding to that number of layers, depending on estimates of the downlink channel conditions. - Referring to
FIG. 1 again, thereceiver 20 comprises achannel estimator 50, a post-decoder 60 and alayer demapper 70. - The
channel estimator 50 of thereceiver 20 estimates the downlink channel condition. Thechannel estimator 50 feedbacks at least one of RI and PMI to thetransmitter 10. Thechannel estimator 50 may perform many kinds of codebook based PMI feedback. - The
receiver 20 estimates the channel by thechannel estimator 50. Based on the estimated channel information, then thereceiver 20 selects the precoding matrix for each level from the corresponding codebooks. Once the precoding matrix for each level is decided, thereceiver 20 separately feedback the PMIs of both level to thetransmitter 10. - There is codebook based PMI feedback where the
receiver 20 feedbacks the precoding matrix index (PMI) of the favorite matrix in the codebook to thetransmitter 10 to is support CL-MIMO (closed MIMO) operation in wireless communication system. - The
receiver 20 recovers the original data symbols by the post-decoder 60 with the previous feedback precoding matrices combination. The post-decoder 60 processes the received signal and decodes the precoded symbols. - For example, the post-decoder 60 decodes the precoded symbols using a inverse matrix of the precoding matrix P, for example U or UxA as described above.
- The
layer demapper 70 may demap the decoded symbol streams in a manner complementary to the mapping performed by thelayer mapper 30 to recovers the original data symbols. - The above embodiments are described that the number of codewords is equal 1 or 2 and the rank number is equal to 3 or 5, the number of antennas (or antenna ports) is equal to 4 or 6.
- In general, the number of codewords may be n which is the natural number. The number of layers may be m which is the natural number more than n and not a multiple of n. the number of antennas (or antenna ports) may be a multiple of the number of codewords.
- Therefore, there is a method comprising: mapping the (n) number of codewords (n is the natural number) to the (m) number of layers (m is the natural number more than n and not a multiple of n) and precoding a mapped set of (m) symbols using a precoding matrix so that all the codewords have the same antenna ports and antenna correlation property where the number of antenna ports may be a multiple of the number of codewords.
