Abstract:In this work, we study and analyze the performance of physical layer algorithms for adaptive multiple input-multiple output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) wireless systems that employ a new class of adaptive antenna systems known as reconfigurable antennas. These antennas are capable of adaptively modifying their radiation characteristics and thus leverage pattern diversity to affect how the transmitter and receiver perceive the wireless channel. We propose a low complexity spatial adap… Show more
“…However, the receiver must estimate the S channel vectors in order to evaluate the best channel vector/beamformer pair. Hence reconfigurable systems must perform extra channel estimation and efficient approaches to this overhead are discussed in [22]. We assume a total transmit power, P t = E [| z | 2 ], and the noise power is E [| n | 2 ] = σ 2 , where E [.]…”
In this paper, a reconfigurable antenna codebook feedback scheme is investigated to reduce precoding codebook loss without increasing the number of feedback bits. Analysis and simulations show that increasing the number of receive antenna states (S) has the same effect as codebook size expansion when the codeword and state selection is based on minimizing the distance between channel and codeword.In addition, we propose an optimum selection approach. The SNR and rates achieved with perfect feedback in a traditional non-reconfigurable antenna system, can be exceeded with only S = 2, using the proposed optimum selection. In fact doubling S gives an approximate SNR gain of 40 % compared to S = 1. We also consider the effects of channel estimation errors and correlated antenna states. We show that the performance losses due to correlation can be quantified with a simple closed form result.
