摘要翻译:
毫米波通信是下一代蜂窝无线系统中最有前途的技术,与亚6 GHz网络相比,毫米波通信具有更大的带宽。然而,在这些频率下的通信需要通过massive MIMO和波束形成来克服信号的强衰减,从而需要在发射机和接收机之间进行精确的波束对准。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,优化波束对准协议以最小化信令开销势在必行。在模拟波束形成约束条件下,针对两个用户,设计了一种能量有效的联合波束对准协议,其目标是最小化数据传输过程中的功率消耗,同时满足两个用户的速率约束。证明了一种二分搜索算法是最优的。另外,根据时分复用方案,基于波束对准的结果优化数据通信阶段中两个用户的最优调度策略。数值结果表明,与穷举搜索和针对每个用户单独进行的单用户波束对准方案相比,所提出的联合波束对准方案的功耗显著降低。

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.
