Hybrid beamforming is key to achieving energy-efficient 5G wireless networks equipped with massive amount of antennas. Low-resolution data converters bring yet another degree of freedom to energy efficiency for the state-of-the-art 5G transceivers. In this work, we consider the design of hybrid precoders for massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels in millimeter-wave (mmWave) spectrum along with one-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and finite-quantized phase shifters. In particular, we propose an alternating-optimization-based precoder design which recursively computes the covariance of the quantization distortion, and updates the precoders accordingly. Numerical results verify that the achievable rate improves quickly through iterations that involve updates to the weight matrix, distortion covariance of the quantization, and the respective precoders.

Millimeter-wave and terahertz technologies have been attracting attention from the wireless research community since they can offer large underutilized bandwidths which can enable the support of ultra-high-speed connections in future wireless communi cation systems. While the high signal attenuation occurring at these frequencies requires the adoption of very large (or the so-called ultra-massive) antenna arrays, in order to accomplish low complexity and low power consumption, hybrid analog/digital designs must be adopted. In this paper we present a hybrid design algorithm suitable for both mmWave and THz multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, which comprises separate computation steps for the digital precoder, analog precoder and multiuser interference mitigation. The design can also incorporate different analog architectures such as phase shifters, switches and inverters, antenna selection and so on. Furthermore, it is also applicable for different structures namely, fully connected, arrays of subarrays (AoSA) and dynamic arrays of subarrays (DAoSA), making it suitable for the support of ultra-massive MIMO (UM-MIMO) in severely hardware constrained THz systems. We will show that, by using the proposed approach, it is possible to achieve good trade-offs between spectral efficiency and simplified implementation, even as the number of users and data streams increases.)

The power consumption of digital-to-analog converters (DACs) constitutes a significant proportion of the total power consumption in a massive multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) base station (BS). Using 1-bit DACs can significantly red uce the power consumption. This paper addresses the precoding problem for the massive narrow-band MU-MIMO downlink system equipped with 1-bit DACs at each BS. In such a system, the precoding problem plays a central role as the precoded symbols are affected by extra distortion introduced by 1-bit DACs. In this paper, we develop a highly-efficient nonlinear precoding algorithm based on the alternative direction method framework. Unlike the classic algorithms, such as the semidefinite relaxation (SDR) and squared-infinity norm Douglas-Rachford splitting (SQUID) algorithms, which solve convex relax
We propose a novel randomized channel sparsifying hybrid precoding (RCSHP) design to reduce the signaling overhead of channel estimation and the hardware cost and power consumption at the base station (BS), in order to fully harvest benefits of frequ ency division duplex (FDD) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. RCSHP allows time-sharing among multiple analog precoders, each serving a compatible user group. The analog precoder is adapted to the channel statistics to properly sparsify the channel for the associated user group, such that the resulting effective channel (product of channel and analog precoder) not only has enough spatial degrees of freedom (DoF) to serve this group of users, but also can be accurately estimated under the limited pilot budget. The digital precoder is adapted to the effective channel based on the duality theory to facilitate the power allocation and exploit the spatial multiplexing gain. We formulate the joint optimization of the time-sharing factors and the associated sets of analog precoders and power allocations as a general utility optimization problem, which considers the impact of effective channel estimation error on the system performance. Then we propose an efficient stochastic successive convex approximation algorithm to provably obtain Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) points of this problem.
Switch-based hybrid network is a promising implementation for beamforming in large-scale millimetre wave (mmWave) antenna arrays. By fully exploiting the sparse nature of the mmWave channel, such hybrid beamforming reduces complexity and power consum ption when compared with a structure based on phase shifters. However, the difficulty of designing an optimum beamformer in the analog domain is prohibitive due to the binary nature of such a switch-based structure. Thus, here we propose a new method for designing a switch-based hybrid beamformer for massive MIMO communications in mmWave bands. We first propose a method for decoupling the joint optimization of analog and digital beamformers by confining the problem to a rank-constrained subspace. We then approximate the solution through two approaches: norm maximization (SHD-NM), and majorization (SHD-QRQU). In the norm maximization method, we propose a modified sequential convex programming (SCP) procedure that maximizes the mutual information while addressing the mismatch incurred from approximating the log-determinant by a Frobenius norm. In the second method, we employ a lower bound on the mutual information by QR factorization. We also introduce linear constraints in order to include frequently-used partially-connected structures. Finally, we show the feasibility, and effectiveness of the proposed methods through several numerical examples. The results demonstrate ability of the proposed methods to track closely the spectral efficiency provided by unconstrained optimal beamformer and phase shifting hybrid beamformer, and outperform a competitor switch-based hybrid beamformer.

In this paper, a framework of beamspace channel estimation in millimeter wave (mmWave) massive MIMO system is proposed. The framework includes the design of hybrid precoding and combining matrix as well as the search method for the largest entry of o ver-sampled beamspace receiving matrix. Then based on the framework, three channel estimation schemes including identity matrix approximation (IA)-based scheme, scattered zero off-diagonal (SZO)-based scheme and concentrated zero off-diagonal (CZO)-based scheme are proposed. These schemes together with the existing channel estimation schemes are compared in terms of computational complexity, estimation error and total time slots for channel training. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes outperform the existing schemes and can approach the performance of the ideal case. In particular, total time slots for channel training can be substantially reduced.
