Channel Knowledge Acquisition in Relay and Multipoint-to-Multipoint Transmission Systems

Abstract: Abstract-Most of the relaying strategies exploit channel state information (CSI), but there exist only a few limited works on acquisition of the required CSI. In this paper we present general protocols and pilot designs for CSI acquisition in different types of relay systems using multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission. We propose new pilot forwarding mechanisms and a related estimator for obtaining CSIs of individual MIMO channels of cascaded links… Show more

“…All system nodes are equipped with multiple antennas, where N A , N B , N E , and N W denote the number of antennas at Alice, Bob, Wiley, and Eve, respectively. We assume that Bob and Eve can perfectly estimate their individual CSI, while Alice knows Bob's channel perfectly (we assume there is a separate and reliable mechanism to accurately acquire the CSI, for instance, by assuming channel reciprocity in time-division duplex (TDD) systems or by using dedicated pilot sequences [37]) but has just a statistical knowledge of Eve's CSI. Additionally, Bob and Alice share an open errorfree feedback channel, which Bob utilizes to send back the index of Alice's antenna that allows achieving the best SNR at Bob, along with its corresponding value to enable ON-OFF transmissions, i.e., Alice transmits only when Bob's SNR exceeds some SNR threshold μ. Alice utilizes the index sent by Bob to implement TAS.…”
