Title
Multi-User and Single-User Throughputs for Downlink MIMO Channels with Outdated Channel State Information
Abstract
Prior research has shown that delayed channel state information (CSI) severely degrades the throughput performance of multi-user (MU) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission, resulting in a preference for single-user (SU) transmission. This paper investigates how the relative performance of MU-MIMO and SU-MIMO is affected by 1) different Doppler spectra, and 2) high-order prediction methods for channel estimation. Simulation results reveal that the often-used Jakes-Clarke spectrum is the worst case for MU performance. By evaluating the impact of other Doppler spectra and high-order channel prediction on MU-MIMO performance, we demonstrate that MU can tolerate larger CSI delays and retain its theoretical advantage over SU in practice.
