Approaching MIMO-OFDM Capacity With Closed-Loop V-BLAST
Overview This paper studies schemes for partial channel feedback in Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) block-fading channels. This paper presents a closed-loop extension of the Vertical Bell Labs Layered Space-Time (V-BLAST) architecture for which the transmit power and rate assignments for each transmit antenna at different OFDM tones are optimized at the receiver and then returned to the transmitter through a low-rate feedback channel. Such optimization minimizes the total transmit power for support of an aggregate transmission rate for each fading block. Antenna and/or tone grouping techniques are also proposed to reduce the amount of feedback.
