A Codebook-Based Limited Feedback System for Large-Scale MIMO

In this paper, we consider limited feedback systems for FDD large-scale (massive) MIMO. A new codebook-based framework for multiuser (MU) MIMO downlink systems is introduced and then compared with an ideal non-codebook based system. We are particularly interested in the less-known finite-rate feedback regime where the number $M$ of transmit antennas and the number of users are of the same order of magnitude and $M$ is large but finite, which is a typical scenario of large-scale MIMO. We provide new findings in this regime and identify some benefits of the new framework in terms of scheduling gain and downlink dedicated pilot overhead.
