Dirty paper coding with partial channel state information

In this paper we study the effect of partial channel state information (CSI) on the performance of dirty paper coding (DPC) schemes. We derive a novel lower bound that shows that the effect of the CSI is upper bounded by the effect of an additive white Gaussian noise with an appropriate variance. The bound is proved using a constructive proof that shows that the predicted rates are achievable using high dimensional lattice modulo precoding schemes. Simulation results demonstrate the usefulness of the bound. The derived bound is useful for the characterization of the interference mitigation performance in partial CSI scenarios such as FDD networks with finite rate feedback, uplink downlink capacity balancing in cooperative cellular networks, etc'.
