摘要:

在网络MIMO蜂窝系统中,基站(BS)的子集或远程无线电头端经由回程链路连接到中央单元(CU),所述中央单元在下行链路中执行联合编码并且在上行链路中执行联合解码。聚焦于上行链路,用于回程链路上的BS与对应CU之间的通信的有效解决方案是基于压缩和转发来自每个BS的基带接收信号。在存在遍历衰落的情况下,从BS向CU传送信道状态信息(CSI)可能需要回程容量的相当大的部分。在先前的工作中,通过假设压缩-前向-估计(CFE)方法来研究这方面,由此BS压缩训练信号并且CSI估计在CU处发生。相反,在这项工作中,研究了估计-压缩-转发(ECF)方法,由此BS执行CSI估计并将CSI的压缩版本转发给CU。这种选择的动机是信息理论的最优分离估计和压缩。提出了各种ECF策略,其执行估计的CSI和接收信号的单独或联合压缩。此外,当考虑多个BS时,所提出的策略与分布式信源编码相结合。还提出了在回程链路上不传送任何CSI或训练信息的“半相干”策略。通过数值结果,它表明,一个适当的设计ECF策略的基础上联合接收信号和估计的CSI压缩或半相干方案导致大量的性能增益相比,更传统的方法,基于非相干传输或CFE方法。

英文摘要:

In network MIMO cellular systems, subsets of base stations (BSs), or remote radio heads, are connected via backhaul links to central units (CUs) that perform joint encoding in the downlink and joint decoding in the uplink. Focusing on the uplink, an effective solution for the communication between BSs and the corresponding CU on the backhaul links is based on compressing and forwarding the baseband received signal from each BS. In the presence of ergodic fading, communicating the channel state information (CSI) from the BSs to the CU may require a sizable part of the backhaul capacity. In a prior work, this aspect was studied by assuming a Compress-Forward-Estimate (CFE) approach, whereby the BSs compress the training signal and CSI estimation takes place at the CU. In this work, instead, an Estimate-Compress-Forward (ECF) approach is investigated, whereby the BSs perform CSI estimation and forward a compressed version of the CSI to the CU. This choice is motivated by the information theoretic optimality of separate estimation and compression. Various ECF strategies are proposed that perform either separate or joint compression of estimated CSI and received signal. Moreover, the proposed strategies are combined with distributed source coding when considering multiple BSs. "Semi-coherent" strategies are also proposed that do not convey any CSI or training information on the backhaul links. Via numerical results, it is shown that a proper design of ECF strategies based on joint received signal and estimated CSI compression or of semi-coherent schemes leads to substantial performance gains compared to more conventional approaches based on non-coherent transmission or the CFE approach.
