• Abstract: Massive Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) systems enable higher data rates in the downlink (DL) with spatial multiplexing achieved by forming narrow beams. The higher DL data rates are achieved by effective implementation of spatial multiplexing and beamforming which is subject to availability of DL channel state information (CSI) at the base station. For Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD) systems, the DL CSI has to be transmitted by User Equipment (UE) to the gNB and it constitutes a significant overhead which scales with the number of transmitter antennas and the granularity of the CSI. To address the overhead issue, AI/ML methods using auto-encoders have been investigated, where an encoder neural network model at the UE compresses the CSI and a decoder neural network model at the gNB reconstructs it. However, the use of AI/ML methods has a number of challenges related to (1) model complexity, (2) model generalization across channel scenarios and (3) inter-vendor compatibility of the two sides of the model. In this work, we investigate a more traditional dimensionality reduction method that uses Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and therefore does not suffer from the above challenges. Simulation results show that PCA based CSI compression actually achieves comparable reconstruction performance to commonly used deep neural networks based models.

  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

• Distributed Deep Convolutional Compression for Massive MIMO CSI Feedback [9.959844922120524]
  Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems require downlink channel state information (CSI) at the base station (BS) to achieve spatial diversity and multiplexing gains. In this paper, we propose a deep learning (DL)-based CSI compression scheme, called DeepCMC, composed of convolutional layers followed by quantization and entropy coding blocks. DeepCMC is trained to minimize a weighted rate-distortion cost, which enables a trade-off between the CSI quality and its feedback overhead.
