Flexible Codebook Design for Limited Feedback Systems via Sequential Smooth Optimization on the Grassmannian Manifold

Grassmannian quantization codebooks play a central role in a number of limited feedback schemes for single and multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems. In practice, it is often desirable that these codebooks possess additional properties that facilitate their implementation, beyond the provision of good quantization performance. Although some good codebooks exist, their design tends to be a rather intricate task. …
