Title
Non-Uniform Quantization Codebook-Based Hybrid Precoding to Reduce Feedback Overhead in Millimeter Wave MIMO Systems
Abstract
In this paper, we propose two non-uniform quantization (NUQ) codebook-based hybrid precoding schemes for two main hybrid precoding implementations, i.e., the full-connected structure and the sub-connected structure, to reduce the feedback overhead in millimeter wave single user multiple-input multiple-output systems. Specifically, we firstly group the angles of the arrive/departures (AOAs/AODs) of the scattering paths into several spatial lobes by exploiting the sparseness property of the millimeter wave in the angular domain, which divides the total angular domain into effective spatial lobes’ coverage angles and ineffective coverage angles. Then, we map the quantization bits non-uniformly to different coverage angles and construct NUQ codebooks, where high numbers of quantization bits are employed for the effective coverage angles to quantize AoAs/AoDs and zero quantization bit is employed for ineffective coverage angles. Finally, two low-complexity hybrid analog/digital precoding schemes are proposed, which utilize the NUQ codebooks. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed two NUQ codebook-based hybrid precoding schemes achieve near-optimal spectral efficiencies and show the superiority in reducing the feedback overhead compared with the uniform quantization codebook-based works.
