Abstract:
In general, this disclosure describes techniques for beamforming using limited feedback that exploit the spatio-temporal channel correlation and avoid the limitations of codebook-based feedback and Markov chain modeling. In one example, a receiving device includes a plurality of receive antennas for receiving communication information, a memory for storing the communication information, and one or more processors for processing the communication information. The one or more processors are configured to receive, through a wireless communication channel, a pilot signal transmitted by a transmitting device, determine, based on the received pilot signal, channel state feedback comprising a quantized representation of the pilot signal as received at the receiving device, and send, through the wireless communication.
