Channel Correlation Modeling and its Application to Massive MIMO Channel Feedback Reduction.

In this paper, we propose a feedback information reduction technique for massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. To this end, we analytically derive a covariance matrix of spatially correlated Rayleigh fading channels in closed form. The covariance matrix is expressed based on its statistics, including transmit and receive antennas' correlation factors, channel variance, and channel...
