Abstract
Millimeter wave (mmWave) technologies can enable current mobile communication systems to achieve higher data rates. However, wireless channels at mmWave frequencies experience higher isotropic path loss. Therefore, employing a suitable beamforming algorithm is an indispensable element of any mmWave system. Traditional multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems employ digital beamforming where each antenna element is equipped with one RF chain. In case of mmWave systems, however, the power consumption, signalling and hardware cost impose the designers to deploy analog or hybrid beamforming strategies. This paper addresses two key problems in beamforming for millimeter wave communication systems. First, an effective codebook is designed, using a genetic algorithm that achieves a near-optimal array gain in all directions. This RF codebook is shown to perform better compared to the state-of-the-art RF codebooks with fewer RF chains and lower resolution phase shifters. Secondly, a low complexity channel estimation scheme is proposed that requires less signalling overhead and is effective with low-resolution phase shifters. Finally, the performance of the proposed RF codebook and channel estimation scheme is thoroughly investigated in terms of spectral efficiency.
