Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel scheme to reconstruct the downlink channel of a frequency-division-duplex (FDD) multi-antenna system utilizing uplink channel state information (CSI) combined with limited feedback. Our finding is that spatial reciprocity holds among frequency-independent parameters, including the gain, delay and angle of each propagation path in a wireless channel. Based on this, we first introduce the Newtonized orthogonal matching pursuit (NOMP) algorithm to estimate these frequency-independent parameters during uplink sounding. The gains are then refined through downlink training and sent back to the base station (BS). With only a limited amount of overhead, the refinement is able to improve the accuracy of downlink channel reconstruction substantially. Utilizing the uplink-estimated delays and angles and the downlink-refined gains, the BS can reconstruct the downlink channel from the uplink estimation. We carry out both simulations and over-the-air tests to assess the performance of the proposed downlink channel reconstruction scheme. Results demonstrate that the proposed scheme is promising.
