CSI Reference Signal Designs for Enabling Closed-Loop MIMO Feedback

TLDR
Three possible CSI RS designs for enabling such closed- loop feedback in light of the strong interference environment are described and some tradeoffs between the designs are discussed.
Abstract
Obtaining reliable channel state information (CSI) in future wireless standards is critical for the operation of downlink closed-loop techniques such as SU-MIMO, MU-MIMO, and coordinated multipoint (CoMP). However, this CSI is difficult to obtain especially when considering the potentially strong interference from neighboring sectors/base stations on the downlink reference symbols (RSs, aka pilot symbols) used to obtain the CSI. This paper describes three possible CSI RS designs for enabling such closed- loop feedback in light of the strong interference environment and discusses some tradeoffs between the designs. First, two code-division multiplexing (CDM) designs are proposed where one has nine orthogonal sequences and the other has three orthogonal sequences. Next a new CSI-RS design is described which uses mutually unbiased bases (MUB) to provide a 6 dB quasi-orthogonal gain over neighboring cells. The MUB design is shown in system-level simulation to have performance close to a design with 9 orthogonal sequences while providing a finer frequency-domain sampling than the 9- orthogonal approach.
