Hybrid analog-digital beamforming has been recognized as a promising solution for a practical implementation of massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems based on millimeter-wave technology. In this paper, three hybrid beamforming algorithms are proposed for single-user MIMO systems with partially connected radio frequency (RF) architecture, including a singular value decomposition (SVD) matching algorithm, an iterative orthogonalization algorithm, and a transmit-receive zero forcing (ZF) algorithm. The rate performance of the proposed algorithms is compared with fully digital and analog beamforming in a realistic geometry-based stochastic channel model. The simulation results show that the transmit-receive ZF is superior among hybrid methods, and it provides performance relatively close to that of the digital beamforming. In conclusion, carefully designed partially connected hybrid beamforming can obtain an excellent balance between hardware complexity and performance.

Pilot contamination limits the potential benefits of massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems. To mitigate pilot contamination, in this paper, an efficient channel estimation approach is proposed for massive MIMO systems, using sparse Bayesian learning (SBL) namely coupled hierarchical Gaussian framework where the sparsity of each coefficient is controlled by its own hyperparameter and the hyperparameters of its immediate neighbours. The simulation results show that the proposed method can reconstruct original channel coefficients more effectively compared to the conventional channel estimators in terms of channel estimation accuracy in the presence of pilot contamination.

In this paper, we investigate the prediction of mobile MIMO channels with varying multipath parameters. Based on the PAST algorithm, we propose a multidimensional adaptive ESPRIT approach for jointly tracking the evolution of the Doppler frequencies and spatial directions of arrival and departure of the propagation paths. Future states of the channel are predicted using the last estimate of the propagation parameters. We show via simulation that the proposed adaptive method outperforms existing static approaches with varying channel parameters. Our results indicate that the performance improvement from parameter tracking is dependent on the rate of variation of the underlying multipath parameters.

We propose a novel method to construct beam codebooks, i.e. a set of beamforming weights, for beam sweeping and data transmission in mmWave massive MIMO channels. The proposed beam codebooks are designed according to the statistical distribution of the channel's angles of departure in order to efficiently sweep the angular space covered by the beams. We first present a general closed-form construction of beam codebooks for an arbitrary distribution of angles and then tailor the results to the Laplace distribution. The resulting beams are a priori better adapted to the channel statistics and thus enhance the spectral efficiency of the transmission as compared to conventional uniform beam designs.

This paper characterizes the sources of distortion of offset-QAM based filter bank multicarrier systems when perfect channel state information at the receiver (CSIR) is not available. The statistical information of the distortion reveals that the mapping scheme, which determines how symbols are inserted in the frequency-time grid, can be optimized to reduce the impact of the estimation error. Moreover, the distortion analysis has been exploited to design variable incremental redundancy hybrid automatic repeat request (IR-HARQ) schemes. Numerical results show that the algorithm devised in this work guarantees the target block error rate (BLER) in low mobility scenarios. In addition, the proposed variable IR-HARQ scheme allows to relinquish up to 75 % of the resources to other users when the initial transmission fails.

Efficient interference control is a prerequisite for realizing the possible capacity gains in large heterogeneous networks. An efficient way to do this is to mute some Base Station (BS) transmissions in some time frames to let other BSs serve their users. Two approaches for doing this is studied; a simple one similar to the schemes used in current mobile technologies and a more complex one with higher performance gains. The complex approach jointly optimizes user attachment, scheduling and muting and requires that a large convex optimization problem is solved. By exploiting structure and sparseness properties it is shown that the computational complexity can be significantly reduced, so that the method can be feasible even in relatively large networks. The performance of the two approaches were compared in a simulation study. It was found that the simple method gave significant performance improvements compared to the case without interference control and that it offered flexibility to trade off improved edge user throughput against a lower average user throughput. The more complex approach gave better performance, even though the muting configuration candidates were selected randomly. The results indicate that significant improvements are possible by selecting the configuration candidates in a more optimal way.

Energy efficiency is likely to be the litmus test for the sustainability of upcoming 5G networks. Before the new generation of cellular networks are ready to roll out, their architecture designers are motivated to leverage the SDN technology for the sake of its offered flexibility, scalability, and programmability to achieve the 5G KPI of 10 times lower energy consumption. In this paper, we present Proofs-of-Concept of Energy Management and Monitoring Applications (EMMAs) in the context of three challenging, realistic case studies, along with a SDN/NFV-based MANO architecture to manage converged fronthaul/backhaul 5G transport networks.

In this paper, a novel semi-blind channel estimator is introduced, with the ability of separating two or more independent wireless channels that are superimposed due to pilot contamination. Key novelties of this work include: a) exploiting the joint probability distribution of information and channel to facilitate the multi-channel separability of the maximum à posterior (MAP) channel estimator; b) exploiting the correlation between symbol detection results at a multi-antenna receiver to further improve the channel estimation accuracy. The mean-square error (MSE) of the proposed channel estimator is derived in a closed form, which exhibits the relationship between the pilot decontamination capacity and the modulation size as well as the data observation length. Moreover, simulation results demonstrate close MSE performances between the proposed estimator and the MAP estimator with orthogonal pilots.

The performance of millimeter wave (mmWave) networks is limited by severe blocking effects. Mobile relaying exploiting possible two-hop line-of-sight connections is a strong candidate for coverage extension and consistent user experience in mmWave networks. Here, relaying based on opportunistic analog beamforming is investigated, and sets of fixed beams are used for cell discovery, relay discovery and data transmission. A low-complexity relay & beam discovery and selection protocol is considered. Communication performance and signaling overhead are estimated. To provide good relaying performance for cell-edge users without introducing high relaying overhead, a relay candidate set is selected by choosing a proper size, and suitable membership based on a utility function. Simulation results show that with relay candidate sets having a proper size, opportunistic two-hop mmWave relaying can achieve both high mean user performance and consistent user experience.

This paper investigates the application of flexible fast-convolution (FC) filtering scheme for multiplexing orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) physical resource blocks (PRBs) in a spectrally well-localized manner. This scheme is able to suppress interference leakage between adjacent PRBs, thus supporting independent waveform parametrization and numerologies for different PRBs, as well as asynchronous multiuser operation. These are considered as important features in the 5G waveform development. This contribution focuses on optimizing FC based OFDM transmultiplexers such that the in-band interference is minimized subject to the given out-of-band emission constraint. The performance of the optimized designs is demonstrated using resource block groups (RBGs) of different sizes and with various design parameters. The proposed scheme has great flexibility in tuning the filtering bandwidths dynamically according the resource allocation to different users with different requirements regarding the OFDM waveform numerology. Also the computational complexity is competitive with existing time-domain windowing approaches and becomes superior when the number of filtering bands is increased.
