Abstract

The availability of the Channel State Information (CSI) at the transmitter is crucial for the precoder design in Multi-user Multiple Input Single Output (MU-MISO) systems. In Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) systems, CSI can be just available at the transmitter through a limited feedback channel [1], where we assume that each user estimates, normalizes, and finally quantizes its channel direction with a finite number of quantization bits relayed back error-free and quasi-instantaneous. In this paper, we consider a simple sequential uniform scalar quantization (SQ) scheme of the individual components (real and imaginary parts) of the Channel Direction Information (CDI). Although vector quantization (VQ) schemes [2], [3] still outperform this scalar scheme in terms of quantization error and Bit Error Rate (BER), the former scheme suffers from an exponential search complexity and high storage requirements at the receiver for high number of feedback bits.
