Method and system for codebook design of mimo pre-coders with finite rate channel state information feedback

Abstract

Aspects of a method and system for codebook design of MIMO pre-coders with finite rate channel state information feedback may include quantizing channel state information in a MIMO pre-coding system onto a codebook, which include unitary matrices, using a cost function. The codebook may be iteratively updated based on at least the channel state information. The channel state information may comprise a matrix V. The cost function f(A) is defined by the following relationship: f  ( A ) = ( 1 N  ∑ j = 1 N    a jj  2 ) where A is a matrix of size N by N and aij is element (i,j) of matrix A. Voronoi regions may be generated from the codebook for the unitary matrices. A set of matrices based on the Voronoi regions and the unitary matrices may be generated. Updating the codebook may be achieved by modifying the set of matrices into a new set of unitary matrices, where the new set of unitary matrices become the codebook.
