Multiple antennas at the transmitter and the receiver can be used either as a source of diversity or as a means to increase achievable data rates. The focus of this work is on the impact of correlation in the spatial domain on the diversity and multiplexing aspects of limited feedback systems. On the diversity aspect, we show that beamforming-like signaling, or in other words no coding across time, achieves a significant fraction of the diversity benefits of multi-antenna systems. We also establish conditions under which the low-complexity beamforming approach is information theoretically optimal. On the multiplexing aspect, we first describe the regime where any type of feedback, limited or otherwise, can result in substantial performance improvement. In this regime, we then show how to leverage statistical information to construct limited feedback codebooks of low-complexity that can bridge the gap in performance to the perfect channel information benchmark.
