Abstract
In this paper we consider the effect of channel estimation error on the capacity region of MIMO Gaussian broadcast channels. It is assumed that the receivers and the transmitter have (the same) estimates of the channel coefficients (i.e., the feedback channel is noiseless). We obtain an achievable rate region based on the dirty paper coding scheme. We show that this region is given by the capacity region of a dual multi-access channel with a noise covariance that depends on the transmit power. We explore this duality to give the asymptotic behavior of the sum-rate for a system with a large number of user, i.e., n rarr infin. It is shown that as long as the estimation error is of fixed (w.r.t n) variance, the sum-capacity is of order M log log n, where M is the number of antennas deployed at the transmitter. We further obtain the sum-rate loss due to the estimation error. Finally, we consider a training-based scheme for block fading MISO Gaussian broadcast channels. We find the optimum length of the training interval as well as the optimum power used for training in order to maximize the achievable sum-rateKeywords
