Reducing cost and power consumption while maintaining high network access capability is a key physical-layer requirement of massive Internet of Things (mIoT) networks. Deploying a hybrid array is a cost- and energy-efficient way to meet the requirement, but would penalize system degree of freedom (DoF) and channel estimation accuracy. This is because signals from multiple antennas are combined by a radio frequency (RF) network of the hybrid array. This paper presents a novel hybrid uniform circular cylindrical array (UCyA) for mIoT networks. We design a nested hybrid beamforming structure based on sparse array techniques and propose the corresponding channel estimation method based on the second-order channel statistics. As a result, only a small number of RF chains are required to preserve the DoF of the UCyA. We also propose a new tensor-based two-dimensional (2-D) direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation algorithm tailored for the proposed hybrid array. The algorithm suppresses the noise components in all tensor modes and operates on the signal data model directly, hence improving estimation accuracy with an affordable computational complexity. Corroborated by a Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) analysis, simulation results show that the proposed hybrid UCyA array and the DoA estimation algorithm can accurately estimate the 2-D DoAs of a large number of IoT devices.

A large-scale fully-digital receive antenna array can provide very high-resolution direction of arrival (DOA) estimation, but resulting in a significantly high RF-chain circuit cost. Thus, a hybrid analog and digital (HAD) structure is preferred. Two
phase alignment (PA) methods, HAD PA (HADPA) and hybrid digital and analog PA (HDAPA), are proposed to estimate DOA based on the parametric method. Compared to analog phase alignment (APA), they can significantly reduce the complexity in the PA phases. Subsequently, a fast root multiple signal classification HDAPA (Root-MUSIC-HDAPA) method is proposed specially for this hybrid structure to implement an approximately analytical solution. Due to the HAD structure, there exists the effect of direction-finding ambiguity. A smart strategy of maximizing the average receive power is adopted to delete those spurious solutions and preserve the true optimal solution by linear searching over a set of limited finite candidate directions. This results in a significant reduction in computational complexity. Eventually, the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) of finding emitter direction using the HAD structure is derived. Simulation results show that our proposed methods, Root-MUSIC-HDAPA and HDAPA, can achieve the hybrid CRLB with their complexities being significantly lower than those of pure linear searching-based methods, such as APA.
The direction of arrival (DOA) estimation in array signal processing is an important research area. The effectiveness of the direction of arrival greatly determines the performance of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) antenna systems. The multiple sign
al classification (MUSIC) algorithm, which is the most canonical and widely used subspace-based method, has a moderate estimation performance of DOA. However, in hybrid massive MIMO systems, the received signals at the antennas are not sent to the receiver directly, and spatial covariance matrix, which is essential in MUSIC algorithm, is thus unavailable. Therefore, the spatial covariance matrix reconstruction is required for the application of MUSIC in hybrid massive MIMO systems. In this article, we present a quantum algorithm for MUSIC-based DOA estimation in hybrid massive MIMO systems. Compared with the best-known classical algorithm, our quantum algorithm can achieve an exponential speedup on some parameters and a polynomial speedup on others under some mild conditions. In our scheme, we first present the quantum subroutine for the beam sweeping based spatial covariance matrix reconstruction, where we implement a quantum singular vector transition process to avoid extending the steering vectors matrix into the Hermitian form. Second, a variational quantum density matrix eigensolver (VQDME) is proposed for obtaining signal and noise subspaces, where we design a novel objective function in the form of the trace of density matrices product. Finally, a quantum labeling operation is proposed for the direction of arrival estimation of the signal.
In this paper, we address the problem of direction finding using coprime array, which is one of the most preferred sparse array configurations. Motivated by the fact that non-uniform element spacing hinders full utilization of the underlying informat
ion in the receive signals, we propose a direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation algorithm based on low-rank reconstruction of the Toeplitz covariance matrix. The atomic-norm representation of the measurements from the interpolated virtual array is considered, and the equivalent dual-variable rank minimization problem is formulated and solved using a cyclic optimization approach. The recovered covariance matrix enables the application of conventional subspace-based spectral estimation algorithms, such as MUSIC, to achieve enhanced DoA estimation performance. The estimation performance of the proposed approach, in terms of the degrees-of-freedom and spatial resolution, is examined. We also show the superiority of the proposed method over the competitive approaches in the root-mean-square error sense.
Channel estimation is challenging for hybrid millimeter wave (mmWave) large-scale antenna arrays which are promising in 5G/B5G applications. The challenges are associated with angular resolution losses resulting from hybrid front-ends, beam squinting
, and susceptibility to the receiver noises. Based on tensor signal processing, this paper presents a novel multi-dimensional approach to channel parameter estimation with large-scale mmWave hybrid uniform circular cylindrical arrays (UCyAs) which are compact in size and immune to mutual coupling but known to suffer from infinite-dimensional array responses and intractability. We design a new resolution-preserving hybrid beamformer and a low-complexity beam squinting suppression method, and reveal the existence of shift-invariance relations in the tensor models of received array signals at the UCyA. Exploiting these relations, we propose a new tensor-based subspace estimation algorithm to suppress the receiver noises in all dimensions (time, frequency, and space). The algorithm can accurately estimate the channel parameters from both coherent and incoherent signals. Corroborated by the Cram{e}r-Rao lower bound (CRLB), simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is able to achieve substantially higher estimation accuracy than existing matrix-based techniques, with a comparable computational complexity.
Both the power-dissipation and cost of massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) systems may be substantially reduced by using low-resolution analog-to-digital converters (LADCs) at the receivers. However, both the coarse quantization of LADCs a
nd the inaccurate instantaneous channel state information (ICSI) degrade the performance of quantized mMIMO systems. To overcome these challenges, we propose a novel stochastic hybrid analog-digital combiner (SHC) scheme for adapting the hybrid combiner to the long-term statistics of the channel state information (SCSI). We seek to minimize the transmit power by jointly optimizing the SHC subject to average rate constraints. For the sake of solving the resultant nonconvex stochastic optimization problem, we develop a relaxed stochastic successive convex approximation (RSSCA) algorithm. Simulations are carried out to confirm the benefits of our proposed scheme over the benchmarkers.
