Limited Feedback Design for Massive Full Dimension MIMO Systems

Massive Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) systems serve simultaneously multiple users to increase spectral efficiency in wireless communication systems. Using two dimension antenna design for massive MIMO systems namely massive FD-MIMO, the overall system performance is further improved. For the massive FD-MIMO systems, the availability of channel state information (CSI) at the base station is essential to achieve overall performance gain. In this paper, we design limited feedback link for massive FD-MIMO by designing two separate codebooks for horizontal and elevation domains to reduce the feedback load. The simulation results are provided for the proposed scheme by considering 3-dimension wireless channel models.
