Learning-Based Phase Compression and Quantization for Massive MIMO CSI Feedback with Magnitude-Aided Information
share
Massive MIMO wireless FDD systems are often confronted by the challenge to efficiently obtain downlink channel state information (CSI). Previous works have demonstrated the potential in CSI encoding and recovery by take advantage of uplink/downlink reciprocity between their CSI magnitudes. However, such a framework separately encodes CSI phase and magnitude. To improve CSI encoding, we propose a learning-based framework based on limited CSI feedback and magnitude-aided information. Moving beyond previous works, our proposed framework with a modified loss function enables end-to-end learning to jointly optimize the CSI magnitude and phase recovery performance. Simulations show that the framework outperforms alternate approaches for phase recovery over overall CSI recovery in indoor and outdoor scenarios.
