Overhead of computing the precoders.

Precoding methodOverhead

the proposed two methodsTx obtains the channel covariance matrices and noise power , by measure- ment over a period of time.

isotropic transmissionNo overhead is needed.

the precoder with hybrid CSI feedback [31]Tx obtains the energy channel covariance matrices and noise power , by measurement over a period of time; Tx also requires the instant CSI of the information channel.

time switching methodIt is the same with the proposed methods.
