Proceedings of IC-BNMT2010 ADAPTATION BETWEEN CODEBOOK BASED SU- MIMO AND MU-MIMO WITH SINGLE MCS FEEDBACK IN LTE Shaofeng Du, Yafeng Wang, Yong Zhang*, Yang Dacheng Wireless Theories and TechnologiesWTTLab, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, China Mobile Research Institute*, Beijing, China dushaofeng1986@ Abstract This paper utilizes an adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) scheme and compares the performance of adaptation between single-user multiple input multiple output (SU-MIMO) and multi-user (MU) MIMO with that of SU-MIMO. In long term evolution (LTE), every UE only needs to feed back SU-MIMO rank 1 channel quality indicator (CQI) which could get feedback overhead and computational complexity reduction. This CQI message contains a specific MCS index predicted by the UE. In this AMC scheme, MU- MIMO modulation and coding scheme (MCS) of a user equipment (UE) can be obtained from its SU- MIMO rank 1 (single stream transmission) MCS. According to the SU-MIMO rank 1 MCS and MU- MIMO MCS obtained, we can achieve adaptation between SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO by two-user orthogonal pairing and proportional fair (PF) scheduling. Simulation results show that the adaptation can achieve significant improvement on spectrum efficiency (SE) compared with SU- MIMO by means of the AMC scheme proposed in this paper.

LTE is the first cellular communication system optimized from the outset to support packet-switched data services, within which packetized voice communications are just one part. It will provide higher data rates than ever previously achieved in mobile communications, combined with wide-area coverage and seamless support for mobility without regard for the type of data being transmitted [1]. Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technology, which utilizes mul
