A. SNR-independence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CLSM Precoder ChoiceA.1. Simulation ResultsFigure A.1 depicts, for a 4 × 4 antenna configuration, <strong>the</strong> overall spectral efficiencyfor all <strong>the</strong> combinations <strong>of</strong> precoder index (16 choices) <strong>and</strong> rank (4 choices). Theemployed channel matrix H is shown below, <strong>and</strong> has been purposely chosen to depicta case where relative precoder performance changes over SNR.⎡⎤−0.808 + 0.128i 0.921 − 1.557i 0.072 + 0.372i −0.606 − 0.226iH 4x4 =−0.442 + 0.896i −0.420 − 0.548i 0.846 + 1.077i −0.120 + 0.578i⎢⎣−0.827 − 0.178i 0.309 − 0.985i 0.085 + 1.272i −0.136 + 0.347i⎥⎦0.278 − 0.145i −0.357 − 0.273i −0.733 − 0.083i −0.612 + 0.541i(A.8)Sum capacity over layers [bit/cu]121086420204x4, rank 1 precoder 18 4x4, rank 2 precoder1614121086420Sum capacity over layers [bit/cu]Sum capacity over layers [bit/cu]2520151050184x4, rank 3 precoder 16 4x4, rank 4 precoder14121086420−5 0 5 10 15 20 25SNR [dB]Sum capacity over layers [bit/cu]−5 0 5 10 15 20 25SNR [dB]Figure A.1: Sum spectral efficiency for <strong>the</strong> channel matrix H shown in Equation (A.8) for <strong>the</strong>16 precoders defined for <strong>the</strong> four-transmit-antenna configuration defined by <strong>the</strong><strong>LTE</strong> st<strong>and</strong>ard [39].
