• Abstract: The channel state information (CSI) needs to be fed back from the user equipment (UE) to the base station (BS) in frequency division duplexing (FDD) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system. Recently, neural networks are widely applied to CSI compressed feedback since the original overhead is too large for the massive MIMO system. Notably, lightweight feedback networks attract special attention due to their practicality of deployment. However, the feedback accuracy is likely to be harmed by the network compression. In this paper, a cost free distillation technique named codeword mimic (CM) is proposed to train better feedback networks with the practical lightweight encoder. A mimic-explore training strategy with a special distillation scheduler is designed to enhance the CM learning. Experiments show that the proposed CM learning outperforms the previous state-of-the-art feedback distillation method, boosting the performance of the lightweight feedback network without any extra inference cost.

  Accurate channel state information (CSI) is essential for downlink precoding in frequency division duplexing (FDD) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. However, obtaining CSI through feedback from the user equipment (UE) becomes challenging with the increasing scale of antennas and subcarriers. Deep learning-based methods have emerged for compressing CSI but these methods require substantial collected samples. Existing deep learning methods also suffer from dramatically growing feedback overhead owing to their focus on full-dimensional CSI feedback. We propose a low-overhead-Extrapolation based Few-Shot CSI
