Abstract: In this paper, exact closed form expressions are derived for sum
throughput/capacity and outage probability for Multiple Input -Multiple Output
(MIMO) ad-hoc network with quantized beamforming and finite rate feedback. In
quantized beamforming, each receiver sends the label of the best beamforming vector
obtained from the codebook to the transmitter through a finite rate limited feedback.
The code book is shared between each transmitter-receiver pair to prevent decoding of
other users information in a MIMO ad-hoc network comprising of K simultaneous
communicating transceiver pairs with each receiver employing single-user detection.
In such a practical environment, feedback links can only convey finite number of bits,
from which transmit beamformer designs are investigated using either the outage
probability or average Signal to Interference Noise Ratio (SINR) as the figure of
merit. Hence, by deriving closed form expressions for outage probability and network
sum throughput interesting insights in the high SINR regimes are provided. In lieu of
validating the obtained simulation results, theoretical results have also been
compared.

1. Introduction
Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (MIMO) wireless systems have attracted much
interest since they significantly increase the capacity of band-limited wireless
channels to meet the requirements of the future high data rate wireless
communications [1],[2]. Research interests on ad-hoc networks have greatly increased
in the past decade, mainly due to the challenging task of designing effective and
distributed protocols that yield a good throughput, fairness and energy saving abilities
[3],[4]. A mathematical model for determining the capacity of fixed multi-hop ad-hoc
networks was introduced in [3].
throughput/capacity and outage probability of MIMO ad-hoc networks, per unit time
and unit bandwidth for a given user. The beamforming vector is quantized at the
receiver using a fixed codebook designed based on Grassmannian beamforming
criterion at both the transmitter and the receiver. The receiver is assumed to convey
the index of the best beamforming vector from the codebook and is able to feed a
finite number of bits back to the transmitter. It is assumed that a low-bandwidth, errorfree, zero-delay feedback channel exists between the transmitter and the receiver. The
closed form expressions are derived for network sum throughput and outage
probability in MIMO ad-hoc networks.
This paper is organized as follows. Section II presents the system model of
MIMO ad-hoc network. Section III analyzes outage probability performance of
MIMO ad-hoc network with quantized beamforming and finite rate feedback.
Simulation results are discussed in section IV and section V concludes the paper.

It can be noticed that the quantized beamforming t 1 vector c k does not coincide
with the eigen vector corresponding to the largest eigen value of the matrix. It leads to
quantization distortion measure which is the difference between the perfect channel
estimate network sum throughput and quantized network sum throughput [13].

system. Fig. 5, shows the outage probability performance as a function of data rate
for perfect CSIT and quantized beamforming with finite rate feedback of codebook
size N 4 and Transmit Receive pairs K=2 at a fixed SINR of 10dB. Further, it is
observed that, as the distance between each transmitter and each receiver increases by
2 times, outage probability increases from 0.15 to 0.5.
5. Conclusion
The closed form expression for network sum throughput/outage probability of MIMO
ad-hoc network with quantized beamforming and finite rate feedback has been
derived. The outage probability performance of the MIMO ad-hoc network has been
analyzed with respect to the parameters such as the size of codebook, size of transmit
& receive antenna, number of user pairs and the distance between the transmit
receive pairs. The code book is designed using the concept of Grassmannian criterion
and it is assumed that the feedback link from the receiver to the transmitter is error
and delay free. The simulation results presented in this paper confirm the accuracy of
the obtained analytical results. In future, the interference from the other user pairs
may be considered for feedback link to obtain more practical solutions.
