Abstract
In multi input multi output antenna systems, beamforming is a technique for guarding against the negative effects of fading. However, this technique requires the transmitter to have perfect knowledge of the channel which is often not available a priori. A solution to overcome this problem is to design the beamforming vector using a limited number of feedback bits sent from the receiver to the transmitter. In the case of limited feedback, the beamforming vector is limited to lie in a codebook that is known to both the transmitter and receiver.When the feedback is strictly limited, important issues are how to quantize the information needed at the transmitter and how much improvement in associated performance can be obtained as a function of the amount of feedback available.In this paper channel quantization schema using simple approach to codebook design (random vector quantization)is…
