  • In the next generation wireless communication system, the beamforming technique based on a massive antenna is one of core technologies for transmitting and receiving huge amounts of data, efficiently and accurately. For highly performed and highly reliable beamforming, it is required to accurately estimate the Angle of Arrival (AOA) for the desired signal incident to an antenna. Employing the massive antenna with a large number of elements, although the accuracy of the AOA estimation is enhanced, its computational complexity is dramatically increased so much that real-time communication is difficult. In order to improve this problem, AOA estimation algorithms based on the massive antenna with the low computational complexity have been actively studied. In this paper, we compute and analyze the computational complexity of the cascade AOA estimation algorithm based on the Flexible Massive Concentric Circular Array (FMCCA). In addition, its computational complexity is compared to conventional AOA estimation techniques such as the Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm with the high resolution and the Only Beamspace MUSIC (OBM) algorithm.

  • This paper proposes the efficient transmit antenna selection (TAS) scheme considering trade-off between the performance and the complexity in massive MIMO system. The massive MIMO system is a core technology to achieve performance objectives for 5 generation wireless communication. It achieve high spectral efficiency, a reliability, and a diversity gain. However many RF chains required by massive transmit antennas equipped in a base station create the problem such as high hardware cost and complexity. Therefor we investigates the transmit antenna selection scheme, in which the number of RF chains of BS is reduced, and the trade-off between the performance and the complexity is considered for proposed scheme. And, the spectral efficiency and complexity are analysed by transmit antenna selection schemes.

  • In recent years, one of the most remarkable 5G technologies is massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) system which increases spectral efficiency by deploying a large number of transmit-antennas (eg. tens or hundreds transmit-antennas) at base station (BS). However, conventional massive MIMO system using single-polarized (SP) transmit-antennas increases the size of the transmit-array proportionally as the number of transmit-antennas increases. Hence, size reduction of large-scale transmit-array is one of the major concerns of massive MIMO system. To reduce the size of the transmit-array at BS, dual-polarized (DP) transmit-antenna can be the solution to halve the size of the transmit-array since one collocated DP transmit-antenna deploys vertical and horizontal transmit-antennas compared to SP transmit-antennas. Moreover, proposed DP massive MIMO system increases the spectral efficiency by not only in the space domain but also in the polarization domain whereas the conventional SP massive MIMO system increases the spectral efficiency by space domain only. In this paper, the comparative performance of DP and SP massive MIMO systems is analyzed by space division multiple access (SDMA) and space-polarization division multiple access (SPDMA) respectively. To analyze the performance of DP and SP massive MIMO systems, DP and SP spatial channel models (SCMs) are proposed which consider depolarized propagation channels between transmitter and receiver. The simulation results show that the performance of proposed 32 transmitter (Tx) DP massive MIMO system improves the spectral efficiency by about 91% for a large number of user equipments (UEs) compare to 32Tx SP massive MIMO system for identical size of the transmit-array.

  • Massive MIMO communication system with huge antennas has been attracting intensive attention as one of key technologies to increase the spectral efficiency. Many previous studies investigated single user Massive MIMO scheme in cellular downlink. Recently, however, intensive researches on multiuser-based Massive MIMO are performed to overcome the problem caused by the limited number of antennas in mobile stations. Although the Massive MIMO scheme based on huge number of antennas inevitably causes hardware and computational complexity in baseband and radio frequency (RF) elements, the problem can be mitigated without serious performance degradation by limiting the number of baseband and RF elements below the number of transmit antennas of base station and opportunistically selecting transmit antennas according to channel states, where the number of selected antennas corresponds to the number of baseband and RF elements in base station. Accordingly, this paper proposes a simple antenna selection scheme for multiuser-based Massive MIMO systems. Our simulation results indicate that the proposed antenna selection scheme can achieve comparable performance to the conventional scheme without antenna selection.

  • The modern wireless communication system employes the beamforming technique based on a massive array antenna with a number of elements, for supporting the smooth communication services. A reliable beamforming technology requires the Angle-of-Arrival(: AOA) information for the signal incident to the receiving antenna, which is generally estimated by the high-resolution AOA estimation algorithm such as Multiple Signal Classification(: MUSIC). Although the MUSIC algorithm has the excellent estimation performance, it is difficult to estimate AOA in real time for the massive array antenna due to the extremely high computational complexity. In order to enhance this problem, in this paper, we propose the cascade AOA estimation algorithm based on a Flexible Massive Concentric Circular Array(: FMCCA) antenna with the On/Off function for antenna elements. The proposed cascade algorithm consists of the CAPON algorithm using some elements among entire antenna elements and the Beamspace MUSIC algorithm using entire elements. We provide computer simulation results for various scenarios to demonstrate the AOA estimation performance of the proposed approach.

  • Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication may provide high spectral efficiency through the deployment of a very large number of antenna elements at the base stations. The gains from massive MIMO communication come from the use of multi-user MIMO on the uplink and downlink, but with a large excess of antennas at the base station compared to the number of served users. Initial work on massive MIMO did not fully address several practical issues associated with its deployment. This paper considers the impact of channel aging on the performance of massive MIMO systems. The effects of channel variation are characterized as a function of different system parameters assuming a simple model for the channel time variations at the transmitter. Channel prediction is proposed to overcome channel aging effects. The analytical results on aging show how capacity is lost due to time variation in the channel. Numerical results in a multicell network show that massive MIMO works even with some channel variation and that channel prediction could partially overcome channel aging effects.

  • In order to accommodate huge number of antennas in a limited antenna size, a large scale antenna array is expected to have a three dimensional (3D) array structure. By using the Active Antenna Systems (AAS), the weights of the antenna elements arranged vertically could be configured adaptively. Then, a degree of freedom (DOF) in the vertical plane is provided for system design. So the three-dimension MIMO (3D MIMO) could be realized to solve the actual implementation problem of the massive MIMO. However, in 3D massive MIMO systems, the pilot contamination problem studied in 2D massive MIMO systems and the inter-cell interference as well as inter-vertical sector interference in 3D MIMO systems with vertical sectorization exist simultaneously, when the number of antenna is not large enough. This paper investigates the interference management towards the above challenges in 3D massive MIMO systems. Here, vertical sectorization based on vertical beamforming is included in the concerned systems. Firstly, a cooperative joint vertical beams adjustment and pilot assignment scheme is developed to improve the channel estimation precision of the uplink with pilots being reused across the vertical sectors. Secondly, a downlink interference coordination scheme by jointly controlling weight vectors and power of vertical beams is proposed, where the estimated channel state information is used in the optimization modelling, and the performance loss induced by pilot contamination could be compensated in some degree. Simulation results show that the proposed joint optimization algorithm with controllable vertical beams' weight vectors outperforms the method combining downtilts adjustment and power allocation.

  • Although the massive MIMO system supports a high throughput, it requires a lot of channel information for channel compensation. For the reduction of overhead, the massive MIMO system generally uses TDD as duplexing scheme. Therefore, the massive MIMO system is sensitive to rapidly changing fast fading in according to time. For the improvement of reduced SINR by fast fading, the adaptive power control is proposed. Unlike the conventional scheme, the proposed scheme considers mobility of device for adaptive power control. The simulation of the proposed scheme is performed with consideration for mobility of device. The result of the simulation shows that the proposed scheme improves SINR. Since SINR is decreased in according to the number of device in the network by unit of cell, each base station can accommodate more devices by the proposed scheme. Also, because the massive MIMO system with high SINR can use high order modulation scheme, it can support higher throughput.

  • In this paper, we consider an amplify-and-forward (AF) full duplex (FD) massive-antenna relay (or base station) aiding communication between K single-antenna source and destination pairs whose transmissions are overheard by one single-antenna eavesdropper. Maximum ratio combining (MRC) and maximum ratio transmission (MRT) processing is employed at the relay. The secrecy performance of the system is then derived with both relay and destination being equipped with low resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The results show the detrimental effect of the eavesdropper's presence on the sum rate of the system.
