具有延迟速率反馈的广播信道:预测还是观察?

Broadcast Channels with Delayed Finite-Rate Feedback: Predict or Observe?

Jiaming Xu, Jeffrey G. Andrews, Syed A. Jafar

摘要:

大多数多用户预编码技术需要准确的发射机信道状态信息(CSIT),以保持用户之间的正交性。这样的技术已被证明在时变信道中相当脆弱,因为CSIT由于估计和反馈延迟以及量化噪声而固有地不完美。最近由Maddah-Ali和Tse(MAT)提出的替代方法允许多输入单输出(MISO)广播信道(BC)中的显著复用增益,即使具有完全陈旧(即,与当前信道状态不相关)的发送CSIT。对于$K$用户,他们的方案声称相对于在MISO BC中可获得的全$K$自由度(DoF),对于大的$K$具有完美的CSIT,仅损失$\log(K)$因子。然而,他们的结果没有考虑反馈的成本,这在高迁移率(短信道相干时间)中可能非常大。在本文中,我们更仔细地检查MAT方案,并将其DoF增益与单用户传输(总是达到1 DoF)和部分CSIT线性预编码(达到$K$)进行比较。特别是,假设信道相干时间是$N$符号周期和反馈延迟是$N_{\rm fd}$,我们表明,当$N < (1+o(1)) K \log K$(短相干时间),单用户传输性能最好,而对于$N> (1+o(1)) (N_{\rm fd}+ K / \log K)(1-\log^{-1}K)^{-1}$(长相干时间),迫零预编码优于其他两个。MAT方案对于中间相干时间是最佳的,即使考虑到反馈成本,中间相干时间对于实际参数选择来说确实是相当大且显著的范围。

英文摘要:

Most multiuser precoding techniques require accurate transmitter channel state information (CSIT) to maintain orthogonality between the users. Such techniques have proven quite fragile in time-varying channels because the CSIT is inherently imperfect due to estimation and feedback delay, as well quantization noise. An alternative approach recently proposed by Maddah-Ali and Tse (MAT) allows for significant multiplexing gain in the multi-input single-output (MISO) broadcast channel (BC) even with transmit CSIT that is completely stale, i.e. uncorrelated with the current channel state. With $K$ users, their scheme claims to lose only a $\log(K)$ factor relative to the full $K$ degrees of freedom (DoF) attainable in the MISO BC with perfect CSIT for large $K$. However, their result does not consider the cost of the feedback, which is potentially very large in high mobility (short channel coherence time). In this paper, we more closely examine the MAT scheme and compare its DoF gain to single user transmission (which always achieves 1 DoF) and partial CSIT linear precoding (which achieves up to $K$). In particular, assuming the channel coherence time is $N$ symbol periods and the feedback delay is $N_{\rm fd}$ we show that when $N < (1+o(1)) K \log K$ (short coherence time), single user transmission performs best, whereas for $N> (1+o(1)) (N_{\rm fd}+ K / \log K)(1-\log^{-1}K)^{-1}$ (long coherence time), zero-forcing precoding outperforms the other two. The MAT scheme is optimal for intermediate coherence times, which for practical parameter choices is indeed quite a large and significant range, even accounting for the feedback cost.
