Definitions
- the present invention relates to a wireless communication, and more particularly, to a method for transmitting and generating channel status information in a multiple antenna system.
- a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system In order to maximize a system performance and a transmission capacity in the field of wireless communications, a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system has attracted attentions.
- the MIMO system can enhance transmission efficiency by employing multiple transmitting antennas and multiple receiving antennas.
- the theoretical channel transmission capacity increases in proportion to the number of antennas. It is possible to markedly enhance spectral efficiency.
- the MIMO system has attracted attentions as a next-generation technology capable of overcoming a restriction on the data rate which has reached a limit due to an increase in data communication in the field of mobile communications. Since the next-generation mobile communications require a higher data rate than that of the existing mobile communications, efficient multiple antenna technology is needed.
- the MIMO technology is one of the next-generation mobile communication technologies which can be widely used.
- the MIMO system collects fragmentary data pieces received by a plurality of antennas to complete data transmission. It is possible to enhance a data rate in a specific range or to enhance the system coverage at a specific data rate.
- MIMO techniques have been actively studied from various viewpoints such as information theory associated with system capacity, measuring and modeling a wireless channel and a space-time signal processing for enhancing transmission reliability and data rate.
- the MIMO techniques are roughly classified into a spatial diversity and a spatial multiplexing.
- the spatial diversity allows a multiple antenna to transmit the same data.
- the spatial diversity can enhance the transmission reliability by transmitting the same data through multi-path.
- the spatial diversity is divided into a space-time block coding (STBC) and a space-time trellis coding (STTC).
- STBC space-time block coding
- STTC space-time trellis coding
- the STBC has an advantage that complexity is low.
- the STTC has an advantage that the performance for enhancing a bit error rate (BER) and a degree of freedom for generating codes is high.
- BER bit error rate
- By using the spatial diversity it is possible to obtain a gain corresponding to a product of the number of transmitting antennas and the number of receiving antennas.
- the spatial multiplexing allows the multiple antenna to transmit data different from each other.
- the receiver removes the interference by the use of a proper signal processing technique and then reproduces the data.
- Conventional interference removing techniques are a maximum likelihood method, a zero forcing (ZF) method, a minimum mean-square error (MMSE) method, a diagonal-bell laboratory layered space-time (D-BLAST) method, a vertical-BLAST (V-BLAST) method, etc.
- ZF zero forcing
- MMSE minimum mean-square error
- D-BLAST diagonal-bell laboratory layered space-time
- V-BLAST vertical-BLAST
- singular value decomposition SVD
- the spatial diversity gain can be saturated as diversity order increases.
- the spatial multiplexing can deteriorate the transmission reliability of wireless channels.
- the spatial diversity and the spatial multiplexing can be combined to acquire gains of both techniques.
- a fading channel is widely known as a main reason to deteriorate performance of a wireless communication system.
- a channel in fading environment may vary depending on time, frequency, and space.
- a diversity technique uses the fact that the probability that all independent channels have low channel gains is very low.
- a multi-user diversity is one of various diversity techniques.
- the channel gains of the plurality of users are independent of each other in probability.
- the probability that all the users have low channel gains is very low.
- the multi-user diversity can be classified into a time multi-user diversity, a frequency multi-user diversity, and a spatial multi-user diversity.
- the channel is assigned to the user having the highest channel gain when the channel varies with the lapse of time. According to the information theory, when transmission power is enough, the total capacity of the channels can be maximized by assigning all the channels to the user having the highest channel gain.
- a sub-carrier is assigned to the user having the highest channel gain in a frequency multiplexing system.
- the spatial multi-user diversity uses the channel gains of the user varying depending on spaces.
- An example of the spatial multi-user diversity is a random beam-forming (RBF).
- the RBF is also called an opportunistic beam-forming.
- the RBF induces a variation of the channel by allowing a transmitter to perform a beam-forming process with a weighting value.
- a closed loop structure is providing a feedback channel from a user equipment to a base station for enhancing the performance of the multiple antenna system.
- the close loops structure can be used in the spatial diversity or the spatial multiplexing.
- Information transmitted from the user equipment to the base station through the feedback channel is channel information.
- the base station can maximize the performance by controlling various system parameters such as power level and transmission format.
- An adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) technique enhances link performance by allowing the base station to control the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) based on the channel information.
- MCS modulation and coding scheme
- the AMC technique supports efficient transmission by increasing the data rate when the channel is good and decreasing the data rate when the channel is faded.
- Techniques are provided herein to represent a channel with high accuracy and enhance transmission efficiency.
- a method for transmitting channel state information in a wireless communication system includes receiving a pilot signal, obtaining an estimated channel using the pilot signal, obtaining a plurality of bases representing the estimated channel, wherein a basis comprises a plurality of vectors and transmitting a representative vector as channel state information, wherein the representative vector is selected from the plurality of bases.
- a method for transmitting data in a multiple antenna system includes preparing a plurality of weight matrixes for a plurality of antennas, receiving information for a plurality of representative vectors which is selected for each weight matrixes and represent channel information, beam-forming a signal using the plurality of weight matrixes and transmitting the signal through the plurality of antennas.
- a method for transmitting channel state information in a multiple antenna system includes preparing a basis comprising a plurality of vectors, selecting at least two representative vectors from the basis so that the two representative vectors represent a channel and transmitting the two representative vectors as channel state information.
- a method for generating channel state information in a multiple antenna system includes preparing a set of bases comprising a plurality of bases, a basis comprising a plurality of vectors, the basis spanning vector space for a multiple antenna, selecting a representative vector from the set of bases to represent a channel and generating channel state information using the representative vector.
- a method for transmitting data in a multiple antenna system includes receiving channel state information comprising a representative vector selected from a set of weight matrixes, scheduling an user using the channel state information, generating a signal for the user sequentially using a weight matrix which comprise the representative vector and transmitting the signal for the user.

- a transmitter 100 includes N T transmitting antennas and a receiver 101 includes N R receiving antennas.
- Downlink transmission means transmission from a base station to an user equipment and uplink transmission means transmission from the user equipment to the base station.
- the transmitter 100 may be a part of the base station and receiver 101 a part of the user equipment.
- the transmitter 100 may be a part of the user equipment and receiver 101 a part of the base station.
- the transmitter 100 transmits streams which are generated by processing information bits.
- the maximum number of streams transmitted through the N T transmitting antennas is N T .
- s i is a stream transmitted through a i-th transmitting antenna.
- the streams s 1 , s 2 , . . . , and s NT can be transmitted with different transmission powers.
- the transmission powers are P 1 , P 2 , . . . , and P NT
- N transmission signals x 1 , x 2 , . . . , and x NT are formed.
- the transmission signals x 1 , x 2 , . . . , and x NT can be expressed by a vector x as:
- a weight w ij (1 ⁇ i ⁇ N T , 1 ⁇ j ⁇ N T ) is a weighting value of a j-th stream for an i-th transmitting antenna.
- the weight w ij can be arranged in the weight matrix W.
- the weight matrix W can also be called as a preceding matrix.
- the transmission signal x can be transmitted by using a spatial diversity or by using a spatial multiplexing.
- the spatial diversity is used, the same signal is transmitted through multiple antennas and elements of the power-adjusted stream
- the spatial diversity and the spatial multiplexing can be combined. Three transmitting antennas can transmit streams by using the spatial diversity and the other transmitting antennas can transmit streams by using the spatial multiplexing.
- a channel from the j-th transmitting antenna to the i-th receiving antenna is expressed as h ij .
- the channel may also be called as MIMO channel.
- a set of the channel for multiple antennas can be expressed in the form of a vector and a matrix.
- FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating channels from the N T transmitting antennas to an i-th receiving antenna.
- the channels from the N T transmitting antennas to the N R receiving antennas can be expressed in the form of a matrix by:
- AWGN additive white Gaussian noise
- the receiving signal y can be expressed by:
- the receiver 101 can be an user equipment having multiple antennas or a plurality of user equipments having at least one antenna.
- an user equipment may receive downlink signals through N R antennas.
- N R user equipments may concurrently receive downlink signals through one antenna.
- the total number of receiving antennas can be kept N R .
- This technique is generally called a MIMO BC (Broadcast Channel) or an SDMA (Space Division Multiple Access).
- an user equipment having N T antennas may transmit uplink signals. Or N T user equipments having one antenna may concurrently transmit uplink signals. In any combination, the total number of transmitting antennas can be kept N T .
- This technique is generally called a MIMO MAC (Multiple Access Channel).
- the technique used in one side can be used in the other side.
- the MIMO BC be mainly shown in the following description, skilled in the art can easily be applied to the MIMO MAC.
- FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a single-user multiple antenna system.
- a base station (BS) 310 as the transmitter has multiple antennas and an user equipment (UE) 320 , that is, an user, as the receiver has multiple antennas. It is possible to obtain the maximum channel capacity by using MIMO technique.
- U and V are a unitary matrix
- ⁇ is a diagonal matrix
- H denotes a Hermitian matrix.
- V is selected as the weight matrix W.
- a transmission power matrix P in Equation (11) can be determined by a water filling technique so as to acquire the maximum channel capacity.
- FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a multi-user multiple antenna system.
- a BS 410 has N T antennas and the respective UEs 420 - 1 , 420 - 2 , . . . , and 420 -N R have one antenna.
- channel capacity can be maximized by the use of a transmission beam-forming process.
- the weighting vector should be selected so as to minimize the interference between the UEs.
- the multi-user environment needs a system more complicated than the single user environment.
- a dirty paper coding In the multi-user multiple antenna system, a dirty paper coding (DPC) is well known as the optimal scheme in view of the channel capacity. The complexity thereof is considerable and thus it is not easy to implement the DPC.
- a zero forcing beam-forming (ZFBF), a random beam-forming (RBF) and the like are known as the next optimal schemes. In such schemes, as the number of UEs increases, optimal performance can be achieved.
- a receiver uses an inverse channel matrix H ⁇ 1 to decompose a receiving signal.
- the receiving signal y can be expressed by Equation (12).
- a channel matrix H should be a non-singular so that the inverse channel matrix H ⁇ 1 always exists.
- the ZFBF has an advantage that it need not particular operation of the receiver to detect the receiving signal and the matrix calculation is little complex.
- the channel matrix H should be the unitary matrix
- the receiving antennas that is, the UEs, should be selected so that all the MIMO channels are orthogonal.
- the i-th receiving antenna should be selected so that the channel h i of the i-th receiving antenna is orthogonal to channels of the other receiving antennas. To select channels, all the channel information should be known.
- a receiver generally measures a estimated channel based on a pilot signal (reference signal) transmitted from a transmitter.
- the transmitter should be aware of the estimated channel by receiving channel information from the receiver.
- the transmitter can adaptively perform a transmission.
- the ZFBF is one example. Since the channels vary with the lapse of time, the channel information should be transmitted from the receiver to the transmitter as often as possible to improve accuracy. But it may exhaust radio resources and limit data rates. Also, it is not easy to transmit the channel information accurately since a quantization error may exist.
- the RBF is a beam-forming process without any channel information.
- the RBF is performed as follows. (1) A transmitter transmits a pilot signal through multiple antennas by the use of a weighting vector created randomly. (2) A receiver receiving the pilot signal estimates a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and transforms the SNR into a proper data rate or a signal-to-interference noise ratio (SINR). (3) The receiver feeds back the SINR to the transmitter. The receivers need not be aware whether the transmitter has multiple antennas. (4) The transmitter assigns the channel to the receiver having the highest SINR. (5) After a predetermined time passes, the transmitter transmits the pilot signal by the use of the weighting vector created randomly and repeats the step (2) again.
- SNR signal-to-noise ratio
- SINR signal-to-interference noise ratio
- the RBF can achieve the performance closer to the ZFBF as the number of receivers increases.
- weight vectors w 1 , w 2 , . . . , and w NT be column vectors of a unitary weight matrix W created randomly by the transmitter.
- the product of a transmission power matrix P and a transmission stream vector s is expressed as Ps. Without losing generality, we can choose the transmission power matrix P as an identity matrix I.
- a receiving signal y i received by the i-th receiving antenna can be expressed by:
- the i-th receiving antenna's SINR for a weight vector w m can be defined by:
- the weight vector w m in which the SINR i,m of Equation (18) is the maximum can be found out. We call it a maximum weight vector w max .
- the minimum value of the SINR of Equation (18) is always larger than zero.
- the channel h i should belong to one of subspaces L(w 1 ), L(w 2 ), . . . , and L(w NT ) of the vector spaces.
- subspaces L(w 1 ), L(w 2 ), . . . , and L(w NT ) denote lines in the N T dimension complex vector space
- weight vectors w 1 , w 2 . . . , and w NT as a basis of the vector space
- the basis comprises column (row) vectors of the weight matrix W.
- the maximum weight vector w max is a vector which has a maximum coefficient when the vector is projected onto the basis of the vector space
- the SINR of Equation (18) indicates how closely the corresponding channel is orthogonal to one of weight vectors w 1 , w 2 , . . . and w NT .
- the beam-forming not are streams for all users transmitted but streams for users corresponding to the maximum number of transmitting antennas (or receiving antenna) can be transmitted.
- One of user selection criterion is that channels between the selected users are orthogonal to each other.
- user selection process can be as follows. (1) All users transmit channel information to the transmitter. (2) The transmitter selects users of which channels are orthogonal to each other using the channel information. (3) A channel matrix for selected users is made up and an inverse matrix of the channel matrix is selected as a weight matrix. (4) Signals for selected users are beam-formed using the weight matrix and transmitted.
- a transmitter selects a unitary weight matrix and transmits to users using the selected unitary weight matrix.
- Every user selects a column vector having the maximum value from the weight matrix based on the received signal.
- a SINR is calculated according to the selected column vector.
- the index of the selected column vector and the SINR are transmitted to the transmitter.
- the transmitter selects users having the channels closest to the column vectors of the weight matrix based on the index and SNIR. Since the weight matrix is an unitary matrix, channels of the selected users are orthogonal to each other.
- Signals for selected users are beam-formed using the weight matrix and transmitted.
- each user transmits its channel information without performing any process.
- each user calculates the degree of orthogonality using a column vector of a weight matrix and then transmits the maximum SINR and an index of the column vector corresponding to the maximum SNIR.
- the channel has a larger SINR value in the RBF.
- An user to be transmitted is determined depending on how closely the user's channel is related to the column space of the weight matrix.
- the dimension of the column spaces of the weight matrix that is, the number of vectors constituting the basis, is equal to the number of antennas N T .
- the probability that the user has the maximum SINR is equal to the probability that the user's channel is matched with one of the subspaces. The probability is very low since the user's channel is time-varying and unpredictable. As a result, many users are required to increase the probability.
- a vector in an N T dimension vector space can be expressed by a basis including N T vectors.
- a standard basis is expressed as a set of column vectors of an identity matrix.
- a channel h can be expressed by:
- the channel h can be reproduced by combining h 1 , h 2 , . . . , and h NT and the standard basis.
- the coefficient of ⁇ 3 is enough to represent the channel vector h.
- the amount of transmission information can greatly be reduced by changing a basis.
- Column vectors of an unitary matrix can be used as a basis.
- column vectors of a weight matrix become a basis.
- a column vector which has the largest coefficient among the column vectors is selected.
- the first problem is that the RBF is not efficient in view of channel capacity.
- Channel information can be fed back only when a random unitary matrix is continuously transmitted. Continuous transmission of the random unitary matrix causes a waste of that the channel capacity.
- a transmission signal generally includes a pilot signal for various reasons for data demodulation, synchronization, and the like. Since the receiver can measure a estimated channel using the pilot signal, transmission of the random unitary matrix only for acquiring the channel information causes waste of the channel capacity.
- the second problem is that the RBF can be effectively operated when the number of users in a cell is large enough.
- a randomly generated weight matrix may not be suitable for representing every user's actual channel.
- the channel may be accurate. But only one column vector is used in the RBF. If one column vector cannot effectively represent an user's actual channel, the channel information transmitted from the user may be mismatched with the user's actual channel. In order to select an user exhibiting a high SINR, many user are necessary in probability.
- the third problem is that the channel capacity is wasted by transmitting unwanted channel information. All users should transmit a SINR and an index. If a channel is not matched with the basis, the channel exhibits a low SINR. An user having the low SINR is hardly selected, but the user transmits the low SINR nevertheless. The channel capacity is wasted by transmitting unused channel information.
- the fourth problem is that the users' interference cannot effectively be mitigated in the RBF.
- An user's channel not matched with a basis gives a low SINR.
- the user's channel does not match with the basis, the user may necessarily receive or transmit a signal. Examples thereof include a case where re-transmission is required in response to Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) scheme and a case where an user's buffer is full and thus uplink transmission is necessarily required.
- HARQ Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request
- the RBF does not effectively mitigate the interference with users since the user having the low SINR cannot use the channel. This is a loss in view of the channel capacity.
