Abstract: Channel state information (CSI) is reduced for a multi input multi output (MIMO) channel, in which feeding back a part of the CSI matrix is sufficient to align interference in a MIMO network. A feedback dimension quantifies a cost of the CSI feedback of the interference in the MIMO network. A feedback profile is determined that achieves a tradeoff between degrees of freedom, antenna resources and the cost of the feedback. The feedback profile parameterizes a feedback function, which determines how the CSI matrices are fed back to the transmitter. The precoders of the network are adaptive to only the partial CSI knowledge at the transmitter.

Abstract: Signal interference associated with multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) full-duplex wireless communication systems is reduced. In an example, first streams are received by a MIMO base station from uplink user devices based on a first availability of channel matrices and second streams are transmitted to downlink user devices based on a second availability of the channel matrices. A weighted sum of a first data rate for a first linear transceiver matrix and a second data rate of a second linear transceiver matrix is maximized based on the channel matrices, the first streams, and the second streams. The base station generates a first linear transceiver vector used in transmission of the first streams to the base station from the uplink user devices and a second linear transceiver vector used in transmission of the second streams from the base station to the downlink user devices.
