The method is used for solving the optimal mixed beam forming while ensuring the maximization of the sum rate performance, namely solving the optimal digital beam forming and analog beam forming. Generally, the known complete digital beamforming is needed in the process of solving the hybrid beamforming, so that the process of solving the optimal hybrid beamforming is divided into two steps, wherein the first step adopts a block diagonal beamforming method based on Neumann series approximation inversion to obtain the complete digital beamforming, and the second step adopts an alternating minimum method based on gradient projection to obtain the hybrid beamforming.
Fig. 3 is a block diagonal beamforming method based on singular value decomposition and a method based on Neumann series approximation inversion for solving the sum rate performance comparison of complete digital beamforming, and it can be seen that the method and the rate performance of the present invention are close to those based on singular value decomposition. Because the invention adopts Neumann series approximation inversion to replace singular value decomposition, compared with a method based on singular value decomposition, the invention has lower calculation complexity. The following mixed beam forming design part is used for complete digital beam forming as comparison, and the complete digital beam forming is obtained by solving based on Neumann series approximation inversion method.
In the hybrid beamforming design, fig. 4 is a graph showing the gradient projection method proposed in step (S22) of the present patent, and the rate transformation curve under different iteration times, and it can be seen from the graph that the method of the present invention can converge rapidly, and the performance of the optimal all-digital beamforming is very close only when t=2. Then, as the iteration number increases, the performance is improved, but not greatly improved. To facilitate comparison with the manifold optimization method and to demonstrate performance advantages, t=10 is set in the following simulation.

The comparison of the sum rate performance of the gradient projection method, the Manifold Optimization (MO) method under multi-user and the Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) method is presented below, and the performance of the gradient projection method is better than that of the orthogonal matching pursuit method. Compared with MO method, the sum rate is slightly reduced, but the calculation complexity is lower than MO algorithm, in the simulation environment of the inventionThe computational complexity of analog beamforming is 49% of MO algorithm.
In summary, in the downlink wireless communication system of the multi-user millimeter wave MIMO system, aiming at the high computational complexity of the interference among users and the design of complete digital beamforming and hybrid beamforming, in the technical scheme of the invention, a complete digital beamforming algorithm with low complexity is improved first, then a hybrid beamforming matrix is designed based on an alternate minimization algorithm, and an algorithm based on gradient projection is provided to determine analog beamforming, so that the computational complexity can be reduced under the condition of ensuring less loss of rate performance.
