Abstract:

The precoding codebook design with the spatialcorrelated channel is investigated. Termed as timevarying nonintegral codebook, a codebook scheme is presented for practical implementation. The 

concept of codebook period is also proposed. The timevarying nonintegral codebook supports 

various tradeoff options between the codebook size and the system capacity performance. I

t also includes the traditional fixed uniform codebook as a special mode. If the codebook period 

is small, the estimation of the spatial correlation coefficient seems not accurate enough. However,

 the chosen codebook includes the best precoding matrix, i.e. the timevarying nonintegral codebook 

performs similarly as a traditional fixed codebook with larger size. If the spatial correlation coefficient 

changes fast, the codebook period will be decreased to guarantee that the codebook can trace the 

varying channel. 

Key words: precoding, codebook, spatial correlation
