Robust Joint Linear Precoding for AF MIMO Relay Broadcast Systems with Limited Feedback
Jun Zou, Ming DING, Hanwen Luo · IEICE Transactions on Communications · 2011
This letter proposes a robust joint linear precoding scheme based on the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) criterion for amplify-and-forward (AF) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relay broadcast systems with limited feedback, where only the quantized channel direction information (CDI) of the forward channel is available for the base station (BS) and the relay station (RS). The proposed scheme employs an iterative algorithm which alternately optimizes the BS and RS precoders to jointly minimize the expected MSE conditioned on the quantized CDI.
