Beam Tracking Particle Filter for Hybrid Beamforming and Precoding Systems

Because millimeter wave (mmWave) systems can span notably wide spectral bands, mmWave systems are expected to dominate fifth-generation (5G) communication systems. Due to the short wave-length of mmWave radiation, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems can use massive antennas and precoding technology to overcome signal attenuation in mmWave channels. However, the cost and power consumption of radio frequency (RF) chains would increase substantially with the number of antennas. Hence, hybrid beamforming was proposed to reduce the number of RF chains in massive MIMO systems. Hybrid beamforming involves RF beamforming matrix construction and baseband precoding matrix derivation. This study focused on the design and implementation of an algorithm for the RF beamforming matrix construction for mobile environments. Accordingly, this study presents a mixture particle filter that exploits the temporal continuity of beam clusters in a mobile mmWave channel to reduce the computational complexity of RF beamforming matrix construction. Moreover, this beam-tracking particle filter is based on parallel processing architecture to support the tracking of multiple beam clusters in the mmWave channel. Finally, the beam-tracking particle filter was implemented on a field-programmable gate array platform and was verified in a hybrid beamforming system for mmWave MIMO systems. The particle filter processor achieved a maximal throughput of 9.198k matrices/s with a clock rate of 192 MHz, which could support a speed of up to 88.5 km/h for mobile users.

     

Deep frameworks based on residual dense network and reinforcement learning for mmWave massive MIMO systems

In millimeter wave (mmWave) massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems, hybrid precoding plays a pivotal role in reducing complexity and cost while providing a good spectral efficiency. However, implementation of digital precoders with large number of antennas is difficult due to hardware constraints, while analog precoders offer confined performance. This leads to high computational complexity and cannot fully exploit the spatial information. Previous studies on hybrid precoding were based on exhaustive search solutions or greedy schemes, which result in higher complexity system performance. To face these challenges, this paper proposes deep hybrid precoding framework with phase quantization and residual dense network to design the matrix of analog and digital precoders. The proposed deep hybrid precoding technique consists of offline training stage and online deployment stage. In offline training stage, hybrid precoding is obtained assuming the approximate phase quantization. While in the online deployment stage, the matrix of analog precoding is calculated by exchanging approximate phase quantization with ideal phase and grouping the analog precoding vectors. In this paper, we also propose a deep reinforcement learning-based hybrid precoding. It consists of a deep reinforcement learning with employing convolutional neural network and long short-term memory (LSTM) methods. In our proposed frameworks, structures of proposed techniques are trained for maximum spectral efficiency. Our proposed techniques are compared with other precoding techniques. Results illustrate that the proposed techniques outperforms the other precoding techniques in terms of the spectral efficiency.

Bat algorithm–based beamforming for mmWave massive MIMO systems

In this paper, an optimized analog beamforming scheme for millimeter‐wave (mmWave) massive MIMO system is presented. This scheme aims to achieve the near‐optimal performance.by searching for the optimized combination of analog precoder and combiner. In order to compensate for the occurrence of attenuation in the magnitude of mmWave signals, the codebook‐dependent analog beamforming in conjunction with precoding at transmitting end and combining signals at the receiving end is utilized. Nonetheless, the existing and traditional beamforming schemes involve a more difficult and complicated search for the optimal combination of analog precoder/combiner matrices from predefined codebooks. To solve this problem, we have referred to a modified bat algorithm to find the optimal combination value. This algorithm will explore the possible pairs of analog precoder/combiner as a way to come up with the best match in order to attain near‐optimal performance. The analysis shows that the optimized beamforming scheme presented in this paper can improve the performance that is very close to the beam steering benchmark that we have considered.

Design of hybridly-connected hybrid precoding in millimeter-wave massive MIMO system

In order to improve the spectral efficiency of hybridly-connected hybrid precoding,the optimal hybrid precoding matrix under the ideal conditions was firstly obtained by using the principle of successive interference cancellation (SIC).Secondly,the optimal hybrid precoding matrix was decomposed into the digital precoding matrix and the analog precoding matrix by using the gradient descent theory.Finally,considering the constant modulus constraint condition of the analog precoding matrix,the digital and analog precoding matrices were optimized by using the alternating minimization method aim to maximize the spectral efficiency.Due to the hybridly-connected structure,the proposed hybrid precoding design algorithm is significantly superior to the partially-connected and fully-connected hybrid precoding in terms of the system energy efficiency.Meanwhile,the algorithm does not increase any hardware complexity and only increases a small amount of computation of the hybridly-connected hybrid precoding.Computer simulation results exhibit that the proposed algorithm can improve the system spectral efficiency of the hybridly-connected hybrid precoding,and the upgrade of spectral efficiency is more significant especially in the conditions that the number of radio frequency (RF) links is greater than the number of data streams.Since the sub-blocks are not necessary to satisfy orthogonality conditions,the proposed algorithm is more suitable for practical application than the existing hybridly-connected hybrid precoding.     

Low complexity codebook search method in massive MIMO system

In Massive MIMO systems for 5G networks,precoding technology is one of the key technologies.Aiming at user side codebook search method of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) rotation codebook,a low complexity search algorithm was proposed.In this algorithm,all horizontal and vertical codebooks were grouped separately according to the characteristics that the precoding vectors with the same column of DFT rotation codebooks had the smallest chordal distance and the smaller chordal distance have the stronger correlation,and then the optimal horizontal and vertical codewords with maximum channel gain were obtained to form 3D precoding code-books.The simulation results indicate that the searching complexity of the proposed method is significantly reduced under conditions of insuring the system performance,moreover,this advantage becomes greater with the number of antennas increasing.     

Codebook‐Based Precoding for SDMA‐OFDMA with Spectrum Sharing

This paper focuses on codebook‐based precoding for space‐division multiple access/orthogonal frequency‐division multiple access (SDMA‐OFDMA) systems aiming to guarantee high throughput for their users as well as to mitigate interference to fixed satellite service (FSS). A systematic design of SDMA codebook for subband‐based OFDMA is proposed, which forms multiple orthogonal beams with common spatial null in the direction of a victim FSS earth station (ES). The design enables both transmitter and receiver to independently construct identical codebook by sharing only on the direction angle of an FSS ES, which takes fewer overhead bits than Gram‐Schmidt process, a general method satisfying our design criterion. A system‐level throughput evaluation shows that the proposed precoding provides superior performance over existing spectrum sharing method, that is, subband deactivation. The spectrum sharing analysis shows that the proposed precoding, even with an estimation error of the direction angles of an FSS ES, causes lower interference than existing precoding, knockdown precoding.
