A channel information feedback method for multi-antenna system, and a wireless communication device using the same method are provided. The proposed method could reduce feedback overhead for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless channel information, and is based on compressive sensing technique. Prior to sending back channel information, a receiver estimates the channel and multiplies the vectorized channel with a random matrix to generate compressed feedback content. Upon receiving the compressed feedback content at a transmitter, the channel information could be restored with signal recovery algorithms of compressive sensing technique. In the other embodiment, the proposed method further adaptively adjusts compression ratio of the compressed feedback content in accordance to the prevailing channel quality. Further, for slow-varying MIMO channels, there is proposed another channel information feedback method which switches between a fixed sparcifying-basis and a signal-dependent sparcifying-basis.

A transmitter and the method therefor are provided. The transmitter is applied in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based or other multicarrier communication systems. The transmitter uses N sub-carriers. Among the N sub-carriers, L sub-carriers (or tones) are reserved for PAPR reduction. L is less than N. The method includes the following steps. Original frequency domain data symbols are generated and fed into the reserved-tone symbol generation unit. The reserved-tone symbols are generated by using pure frequency domain signal processing. Then the reserved-tone symbols are combined with original data symbols to generate combined PAPR reduction signal. The resultant PAPR reduction signal can be fed into reserved-tone symbol generation unit iteratively to obtain updated reserved-tone symbols. For proper iterations, the original data symbols combined with L frequency domain reserved-tone symbols will result in lower PAPR transmit signal.
