Multiple antenna technology, such as multiple input multiple output (MIMO), beamforming is one of the most promising technology for broadband wireless communication. In OFDM environment, we found that as the number of paths is increased, smart antenna system cannot fully exploit beamforming gain. In this paper, we propose a beamforming scheme and analyze the performance of the proposed beamforming scheme in WiBro smart antenna system. WiBro is an OFDMA-based multiple access service for wireless broadband multimedia environment. The proposed beamforming technique for WiBro smart antenna system can effectively improve the performance of the systems in multipath fading environment.

A smart phone subscriber needs wide bandwidth services for more fast data communication on the internet. The conventional MIMO system is now developing to resolve these problems with limited device space for antenna and frequency band environment reserved. One of way to make it practically is to add the number of antennas theoretically. But it is difficult to increase the antenna element as a limited space on the system. Therefore an active beam forming scheme is known as a way of constructing a Compact MIMO system for that. In this paper, the fast switching control block was suggested to adjust a reactance of the antenna element and verified experimentally the effects by switching signal on an orthogonal beam forming through a spatial domain.

A core technological base to provide enhanced data rates required by 5G mobile wireless communications is the improved bandwidth efficiency using massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission. MIMO transmission requires the channel estimation using the channel state information reference signaling (CSI-RS) and appropriate beamforming, thus the design of the codebook defining proper beamforming vectors is an important issue. In this paper, we propose a multi-rank codebook based on the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) matrix, by utilizing statistical properties of the channel generated by the spatial channel model (SCM). The proposed method includes a structural change of the precoding matrix indicator (PMI) by considering the phase difference distributions between adjacent antenna elements, as well as the selected codevector characteristics of each transmission layer. Performance gain of the proposed method is evaluated and verified by making the performance comparison to the 3GPP standard codebooks adopted by Long-Term Evolution (LTE) systems.

As the wireless communication technique is developing rapidly, the use of smart devices is increasing. Due to gradually increasing data traffic, a new area, more than 6GHz of bandwidth to increase capacity of the network, has been studied. Millimeter Wave(MmWave) communications utilizes the bandwidth above 6GHz, which makes it possible to achieve one gigabit per second data rate. To overcome the path loss due to the smaller wavelength, the mass of the antenna arrangement is used. This paper presents an algorithm that maximizes the spectral efficiency of the system in the pre-coding process using a hybrid beamforming. Also it is suggested with the optimization of the number of beams that maximizes the spectral efficiency was maximized by the propose method.

For wireless communication systems of (and beyond) LTE-Advanced, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) with an increased number of antennas will be utilized for system throughput improvement. When using such an increased number of antenna, an excessive amount of overhead in channel state information (CSI) feedback can be a serious problem. In this paper, we propose methods which reduce the CSI feedback overhead, particularly including application strategies for multi-rank transmission targeted for two or more reception antennas. To reduce the information which is instantaneously transmitted from the reception node to the transmission node, we present a beamforming method utilizing singular value decomposition (SVD) based on channel estimation of partitioned antenna arrays. Since the SVDs for partial matrices of the channel may lose the characteristics of the original unpartitioned matrix, we explain an appropriate scheme to cope with this problem.

In this paper, a centralized mmWave-based multi-spot beam cellular system architecture having such a base station equipped with a plurality of beam-forming antennas, multi-layered dynamic cell configuration method as one of key concepts of this system operation and a mobility management method based on it are introduced. To estimate the performance of new system, system simulation was performed under the ideal environment without blockage. These results show the possibility that system capacity can be dramatically increased and mobility performance similar to the existing cellular system may be achieved.

In this paper, we propose a distributed user scheduling with transmit power control based on the amount of generating interference to other base stations (BSs) in multi-cell multi-input multi-output (MIMO) networks. Assuming that the time-division duplexing (TDD) system is used, the interference channel from users to other cell BSs is obtained at each user. In the proposed scheduling, each user first generates a transmit beamforming vector by using singular value decompositon (SVD) over MIMO channels and reduces the transmit power if its generating interference to other BSs is larger than a predetermined threshold. Each BS selects the user with the largest effective channel gains among users, which reflects the adjusted power of users. Simulation results show that the proposed technique significantly outperforms the existing user scheduling algorithms.

In this paper, we propose a deep learning-based scheduling scheme for user selection in multi-user multi-antenna networks which is considered one of key technologies for the next generation mobile communication systems. We obtained 90,000 data samples from the conventional optimal scheme to train the proposed neural network and verified the trained neural network to check if the trained neural network is over-fitted. Although the proposed neural network-based scheduling algorithm requires considerable complexity and time for training in the initial stage, it does not cause any extra complexity once it has been trained successfully. On the other hand, the conventional optimal scheme continuously requires the same complexity of computations for every scheduling. According to extensive computer-simulations, the proposed deep learning-based scheduling algorithm yields about 88~96% average sum-rates of the conventional scheme for SNRs lower than 10dB, while it can achieve optimal average sum-rates for SNRs higher than 10dB.

In this paper, we assume the uplink multiuser MIMO system based on FDD. Considering the implementation of practical system, Antenna selection and Transmit Beamforming scheme are suggested. System model of both two schemes are introduced and the scheduling algorithm which approaches the optimal performance with affordable computational complexity is proposed for each transmission scheme. Simulation results show that the sum-rate of the proposed low complexity scheduler approaches the performance of brute-force scheduler which is believed to be the optimal scheme.

The next generation cellular wireless communication systems require high data rate transmissions and large system capacities. In order to meet these requirements, multiple antennas can be used at the base and mobile stations, forming MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output) channels. This paper proposes a MIMO SDMA(Space Division Multiple Access) technique with dynamic slot allocation which allows the transmitter to efficiently transmit parallel data streams to each of multiple receivers. The proposed technique can increase system capacities significantly by transmitting a larger number of data streams than conventional MIMO techniques while minimizing the performance degradation due to the beamforming dimension reduction.
