Abstract :
This paper considers the multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) Rayleigh fading broadcast channel. We consider the case where the multiple transmit antennas are used to deliver independent data streams to multiple users via a multiuser technique known as vector perturbation. We propose lattice-theoretic and rate-distortion based approaches to analyze the performance of these systems, taking into account the practical restrictions imposed by limited feedback and training. We show that performance is primarily determined by the ratio between the number of users and the number of transmit antennas. We then propose a new practical low-complexity low-rate feedback scheme, and show that the performance approaches the ideal rate-distortion based scheme.
