摘要:

最近,人们对新的分层网络蜂窝架构产生了相当大的兴趣,这种架构可能会使用比现在更多的小区站点。两个主要挑战将是i)向所有这些小区提供回程,以及ii)找到有效的技术来利用更高的频带用于移动接入和回程。本文提出了使用室外毫米波通信用于小区之间的回程网络和小区内的移动接入。为了克服毫米波在室外传播时的不利影响,本文研究了大型阵列的波束形成问题。然而,这样的系统将需要窄波束,增加对由杆摇摆和其他环境问题引起的移动的敏感性。为了克服这一点,我们提出了一种有效的波束对准技术,使用自适应子空间采样和分层波束码本。通过风振分析建立了光束相干时间的概念。这突出了以前未探索的阵列大小和风引起的运动之间的权衡。通常,不可能使用较大的阵列而不冒由风引起的波束失准造成的相应性能损失的风险。分析了该算法的性能,并与其他搜索和对准方法进行了比较。结果表明,显着的性能改善,减少搜索时间。

英文摘要:

Recently, there has been considerable interest in new tiered network cellular architectures, which would likely use many more cell sites than found today. Two major challenges will be i) providing backhaul to all of these cells and ii) finding efficient techniques to leverage higher frequency bands for mobile access and backhaul. This paper proposes the use of outdoor millimeter wave communications for backhaul networking between cells and mobile access within a cell. To overcome the outdoor impairments found in millimeter wave propagation, this paper studies beamforming using large arrays. However, such systems will require narrow beams, increasing sensitivity to movement caused by pole sway and other environmental concerns. To overcome this, we propose an efficient beam alignment technique using adaptive subspace sampling and hierarchical beam codebooks. A wind sway analysis is presented to establish a notion of beam coherence time. This highlights a previously unexplored tradeoff between array size and wind-induced movement. Generally, it is not possible to use larger arrays without risking a corresponding performance loss from wind-induced beam misalignment. The performance of the proposed alignment technique is analyzed and compared with other search and alignment methods. The results show significant performance improvement with reduced search time.
