Abstract

The Multi Input and Multi Output (MIMO) systems have been analyzed with a number of quantization techniques. In this short communication, few problems like performance and accuracy are investigated through a quantization technique based on Stiefel Manifold (SM). In order to improve these problems, suitable Trellis Coded Quantization (TCQ) based on Unit Memory (UM) coding is studied and applied to SM of MIMO components as a novel approach. Anticipated results are the bit error performance which is an overall improvement of feedback connected between transmitter and receiver of MIMO. As a conclusion, this research not only reduces the quantization problems on SM but also improve the performance and accuracy of limited-rate feedback used in MIMO system.
