毫米波网络中的多用户波束对准

Multi-user Beam-Alignment for Millimeter-Wave Networks

Rana A. Hassan, Nicolo Michelusi

摘要:

毫米波通信是下一代蜂窝无线系统最有前途的技术,这要归功于与低于6 GHz的网络相比可用的大带宽。然而,在这些频率下的通信需要经由大规模多输入多输出和波束成形的窄波束以克服强信号衰减,并且因此需要发射器和接收器之间的精确波束对准。由此产生的信令开销可能成为严重的损害,特别是在具有高用户密度的移动网络中。因此,必须优化波束对准协议以最小化信令开销。在本文中,设计的能量有效的联合波束对准协议的两个用户,目标是最小化的功率消耗在数据传输,受速率约束的两个用户,在模拟波束成形的约束。证明了二分搜索算法是最优的。此外,在数据通信阶段的两个用户的最优调度策略的基础上的波束对准的结果进行优化,根据时分复用方案。数值计算结果表明,显着降低功耗的联合波束对准方案相比,穷举搜索和单用户波束对准方案分别为每个用户。

英文摘要:

Millimeter-wave communications is the most promising technology for next-generation cellular wireless systems, thanks to the large bandwidth available compared to sub-6 GHz networks. Nevertheless, communication at these frequencies requires narrow beams via massive MIMO and beamforming to overcome the strong signal attenuation, and thus precise beam-alignment between transmitter and receiver is needed. The resulting signaling overhead may become a severe impairment, especially in mobile networks with high users density. Therefore, it is imperative to optimize the beam-alignment protocol to minimize the signaling overhead. In this paper, the design of energy efficient joint beam-alignment protocols for two users is addressed, with the goal to minimize the power consumption during data transmission, subject to rate constraints for both users, under analog beamforming constraints. It is proved that a bisection search algorithm is optimal. Additionally, the optimal scheduling strategy of the two users in the data communication phase is optimized based on the outcome of beam-alignment, according to a time division multiplexing scheme. The numerical results show significant decrease in the power consumption for the proposed joint beam-alignment scheme compared to exhaustive search and a single-user beam-alignment scheme taking place separately for each user.
