Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of wireless communication, and particularly relates to a hybrid precoding method of a millimeter wave communication system under a beam offset effect. Conventional Radio Frequency (RF) basis vectors employ array response vectors, and the beam direction varies with frequency when beam offset effects are present, so the present invention is directed to designing basis vectors that are more appropriate than conventional solutions to mitigate the beam offset effects. The base vector designed by the invention has a wider radiation directional diagram, can cover the offset beam direction caused by different frequencies, simultaneously has the gain as large as possible in the required beam interval, and has the beam forming gain as small as possible in other intervals. The basis vector design can be finally constructed as an infinite norm minimization problem and can be solved by an alternating direction multiplier method. Based on the designed basis vectors, hybrid precoding design is performed. Experiments show that the hybrid precoding method provided by the invention can effectively relieve the beam offset effect and is superior to the existing scheme.

Description

Hybrid precoding method of millimeter wave communication system under beam offset effect
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of wireless communication, and particularly relates to a hybrid precoding method of a millimeter wave communication system under a beam offset effect.
Background
Millimeter wave/sub-terahertz (mmWave/sub-THz) communication is an important potential technology of a next generation wireless communication system, and by utilizing rich spectrum resources of a millimeter wave/sub-terahertz frequency band, a communication rate of a few gigabits per second can be realized. On the one hand, in order to achieve a balance between performance and complexity/cost, the prior art proposes hybrid architectures that employ a very small number of Radio Frequency (RF) links; on the other hand, due to the adoption of a large-scale array antenna and the fact that the array antenna works in the mmWave/sub-THz frequency band, the beam direction under each working frequency can change along with the change of the frequency, and the phenomenon is called as a beam offset effect. In order to mitigate the beam offset effect, some existing works consider codebook design and hybrid precoding design to achieve this goal, and these conventional schemes all adopt a set of array response vectors to approach the optimal precoder. These schemes suffer significant performance loss when the number of radio links is limited.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a more appropriate hybrid precoder to overcome the beam offset effect in millimeter wave/sub-terahertz communication. An optimal all-digital encoder is better approached by designing a new set of Radio Frequency (RF) precoding vectors. Each designed base vector has a wider radiation pattern, and can effectively cover the offset beam direction under each frequency. Meanwhile, the basis vector design can construct an infinite norm problem, and is effectively solved by adopting an Alternating Direction Multiplier Method (ADMM). After the new basis vectors are designed, the hybrid precoding design can be obtained by approaching a full-digital precoder through a hybrid analog/digital precoding matrix, and the concept of the scheme for receiving the design of the merging matrix is the same as that of the hybrid precoding design.
The technical scheme of the invention is as follows:
in order to solve the design problem of a hybrid precoding matrix and a receiving combining matrix under millimeter wave/sub-terahertz communication with a beam offset effect, a multi-input multi-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system is considered, wherein the total number of subcarriers is P, and the number of base station configuration antennas is NtAnd a Radio Frequency (RF) link number of MtThe number of the mobile user side configuration antennas is NrAnd the number of radio frequency links is MrAnd satisfy Mt<<NtAnd Mr<<Nr.

meanwhile, the communication distance D is 60 meters, the channel fading index alpha is 2, and the light speed is c. Number of data streams NsThe number of base vectors is 3, T is 64, N is 512 and d is 8.
The signal-to-noise ratio is defined as
Figure BDA00028868165600001315
In the performance analysis, the invention (I-SSP) is compared with the traditional scheme (C-SSP), and the base vector of the traditional scheme C-SSP is the array response vector, and meanwhile, the performance curve of a full digital optimal encoder (called full-digital) is also added in the simulation. The adopted index is spectral efficiency (spectral efficiency); .
FIG. 1 depicts the spectral efficiency of each method versus SNR with experimental conditions set to Mr=Mt=Ns. It can be observed from fig. 1 that the proposed I-SSP scheme has significant performance advantages over the conventional C-SSP scheme. This verifies that the scheme of the present invention can effectively alleviate the beam offset effect. The experimental conditions set for FIG. 2 are Mr=Mt=2NsThe advantages of the proposed scheme I-SSP are also demonstrated.
FIG. 3 depicts the frequency spectrum efficiency of each method versus the number of Radio Frequency (RF) links, with experimental conditions set to Mr=MtAnd SNR 10 dB. As can be observed from fig. 3, the higher the number of Radio Frequency (RF) links, the better performance can be obtained. The number of RF links is limited in millimeter wave communication in consideration of the cost and power consumption of the RF links. Also, it can be noted that the proposed I-SSP has a greater performance advantage than the conventional C-SSP when the number of RF links is limited.
Next, FIG. 4 depicts the relationship between spectral efficiency and system bandwidth with experimental conditions set to Mr=Mt=NsAnd SNR 10 dB. It can be seen from fig. 4 that as the bandwidth becomes larger, the performance distance between the all-digital scheme and the hybrid precoding scheme becomes larger, because the beam offset effect becomes more and more significant as the bandwidth increases. Meanwhile, experimental results show that the scheme I-SSP provided by the patent always keeps the advantages of the traditional scheme C-SSP for different system bandwidths.
In conclusion, the invention researches the design of hybrid precoding and receiving matrixes in the millimeter wave MIMO-OFDM system under the beam offset effect. In order to alleviate the beam offset effect, a new objective function is constructed to design a more appropriate set of RF basis vectors. After the basis vectors are designed, the hybrid precoding/receiving matrix can be designed by approximating the optimal all-digital coding matrix. Simulation results show that compared with the traditional scheme, the scheme provided by the patent can effectively relieve the beam offset effect.
