This article investigates beam alignment for multi-user millimeter wave (mmWave) massive multi-input multi-output system. Unlike the existing works using machine learning (ML), an alignment method with partial beams using ML (AMPBML) is proposed without any prior knowledge such as user location information. The neural network (NN) for the AMPBML is trained offline using simulated environments according to the mmWave channel model and is then deployed online to predict the beam distribution vector using partial beams. Afterwards, the beams for all users are all aligned simultaneously based on the indices of the dominant entries of the obtained beam distribution vector. Simulation results demonstrate that the AMPBML outperforms the existing methods, including the adaptive compressed sensing, hierarchical search, and multi-path decomposition and recovery, in terms of the total training time slots and the spectral efficiency.

Channel estimation and hybrid precoding are considered for multi-user millimeter wave massive multi-input multi-output system. A deep learning compressed sensing (DLCS) channel estimation scheme is proposed. The channel estimation neural network for the DLCS scheme is trained offline using simulated environments to predict the beamspace channel amplitude. Then the channel is reconstructed based on the obtained indices of dominant beamspace channel entries. A deep learning quantized phase (DLQP) hybrid precoder design method is developed after channel estimation. The training hybrid precoding neural network for the DLQP method is obtained offline considering the approximate phase quantization. Then the deployment hybrid precoding neural network (DHPNN) is obtained by replacing the approximate phase quantization with ideal phase quantization and the output of the DHPNN is the analog precoding vector. Finally, the analog precoding matrix is obtained by stacking the analog precoding vectors and the digital precoding matrix is calculated by zero-forcing. Simulation results demonstrate that the DLCS channel estimation scheme outperforms the existing schemes in terms of the normalized mean-squared error and the spectral efficiency, while the DLQP hybrid precoder design method has better spectral efficiency performance than other methods with low phase shifter resolution.
While mmWave bands provide a large bandwidth for mobile broadband services, they suffer from severe path loss and shadowing. Multiple-antenna techniques such as beamforming (BF) can be applied to compensate the signal attenuation. We consider a speci al case of hybrid BF called per-stream hybrid BF (PSHBF) which is easier to implement than the general hybrid BF because it circumvents the need for joint analog-digital beamformer optimization. Employing BF at the base station enables the transmission of multiple data streams to several users in the same resource block. In this paper, we provide an offline study of proportional fair multi-user scheduling in a mmWave system with PSHBF to understand the impact of various system parameters on the performance. We formulate multi-user scheduling as an optimization problem. To tackle the non-convexity, we provide a feasible solution and show through numerical examples that the performance of the provided solution is very close to an upper-bound. Using this framework, we provide extensive numerical investigations revealing several engineering insights.
Millimeter wave beam alignment (BA) is a challenging problem especially for large number of antennas. Compressed sensing (CS) tools have been exploited due to the sparse nature of such channels. This paper presents a novel deterministic CS approach f or BA. Our proposed sensing matrix which has a Kronecker-based structure is sparse, which means it is computationally efficient. We show that our proposed sensing matrix satisfies the restricted isometry property (RIP) condition, which guarantees the reconstruction of the sparse vector. Our approach outperforms existing random beamforming techniques in practical low signal to noise ratio (SNR) scenarios.
This paper presents LuMaMi28, a real-time 28 GHz massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) testbed. In this testbed, the base station has 16 transceiver chains with a fully-digital beamforming architecture (with different pre-coding algorithms) a nd simultaneously supports multiple user equipments (UEs) with spatial multiplexing. The UEs are equipped with a beam-switchable antenna array for real-time antenna selection where the one with the highest channel magnitude, out of four pre-defined beams, is selected. For the beam-switchable antenna array, we consider two kinds of UE antennas, with different beam-width and different peak-gain. Based on this testbed, we provide measurement results for millimeter-wave (mmWave) massive MIMO performance in different real-life scenarios with static and mobile UEs. We explore the potential benefit of the mmWave massive MIMO systems with antenna selection based on measured channel data, and discuss the performance results through real-time measurements.

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.
