Popis
Shrnutí:Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems operating in millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency bands are considered to be one of the key enablers of beyond-fifth-generation cellular systems. Although the highest spectral efficiency in such systems would be achieved using fully-digital precoding, the large number of antennas in massive MIMO systems makes using a radio frequency (RF) chain for each antenna expensive and currently infeasible in practice. A common alternative solution is hybrid beamforming, which combines analog beamforming and digital precoding and reduces the required number of RF chains. The primary goal of hybrid beamforming is to provide precoding performance as close as possible to that of a fully-digital precoder. In this work, we consider two variants of a generative adversarial network (GAN), namely a conditional GAN (CGAN) and Wasserstein CGAN (WCGAN) to develop the hybrid precoder. The CGAN is used to implement the (partially-connected) analog beamformer and the WCGAN is used for the digital precoder. Our simulation results demonstrate the proposed method yields an improvement in spectral efficiency of about 12-19% over some existing hybrid beamforming schemes and achieves up to 87% of the performance of fully-digital precoding.
