When the user is allocated less streams than the number of its antennas, the base station(BS) or user usually utilizes the singular value decomposition(SVD) to get the effective channels, whose dimension is equal to the number of streams. This process is called channel reconstruction and done in BS for time division duplex(TDD) mode. However, with the increasing of antennas in BS, the computation burden of SVD is getting incredible. Here, we propose a series of novel low-complexity channel reconstruction methods for downlink precoding in 3D spatial channel model. We consider different correlations between elevation and azimuth antennas, and divide the large dimensional matrix SVD into two kinds of small-size matrix SVD. The simulation results show that the proposed methods only produce less than 10% float computation than the traditional SVD zero-forcing(SVD-ZF) precoding method, while keeping nearly the same performance of 1Gbps.展开更多

However, due to the three-dimensional（3D） character of the real MIMO channel, 2D MIMO cannot achieve the optimal system throughput. A multiple-user MIMO（MU-MIMO） user pairing scheme was proposed, in which the vertical dimension was taken into consideration. In the proposed scheme, a 3D codebook based on full dimension MIMO channel was designed; then two 3D MU-MIMO user＇s pairing schemes are proposed combining the proposed joint and separate 3D codebook. Simulation evaluates the proposed 3D codebook aided user pairing scheme and compares with the previous 2D MU-MIMO user pairing technology. Owing to the additional spatial degree of freedom in vertical dimension, the proposed 3D MU-MIMO user pairing schemes can effectively improve the overall system performance.展开更多
