Title: On the MISO Channel with Feedback: Can Infinitely Massive Antennas Achieve Infinite Capacity?,
Abstract: We consider communication over a multiple-input single-output (MISO) block
fading channel in the presence of an independent noiseless feedback link. We
assume that the transmitter and receiver have no prior knowledge of the channel
state realizations, but the transmitter and receiver can acquire the channel
state information (CSIT/CSIR) via downlink training and feedback. For this
channel, we show that increasing the number of transmit antennas to infinity
will not achieve an infinite capacity, for a finite channel coherence length
and a finite input constraint on the second or fourth moment. This insight
follows from our new capacity bounds that hold for any linear and nonlinear
coding strategies, and any channel training schemes. In addition to the channel
capacity bounds, we also provide a characterization on the beamforming gain
that is also known as array gain or power gain, at the regime with a large
number of antennas.
