A novel zero-payload downlink CSI feedback scheme for closed-loop beamforming system

A novel downlink channel state information(CSI)feedback scheme is proposed for the closed-loopbeamforming system.In the proposed scheme,mobile terminal(MT)superposes the uplink pilot on thereceived downlink pilot,forms the hybrid pilot(HP),and then transmits the HP to base station(BS)viathe uplink pilot channel.Because downlink CSI can be recovered from HP at BS side without consumingextra uplink bandwidth,the proposed scheme can achieve zero-payload CSI feedback,effectively solvingthe traditional bottl...
