AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] (1) In the prior art, for NLOS non-line-of-sight scenarios, since the energy of each path is too dispersed, the weight value obtained by the EBB algorithm cannot be guaranteed to be optimal, so the receiving power of the desired user cannot be effectively improved;

[0007] (2) The existing technology cannot realize the beamforming of the single-user massive MIMO system in the non-line-of-sight NLOS scenario, and cannot improve the receiving power of the desired user

[0008] (3) Existing technologies are more suitable for line-of-sight LOS scenarios, and there are relatively few beamforming studies for NLOS non-line-of-sight scenarios;

[0009] (4) The ZF algorithm and MRT algorithm in the prior art need to know the channel information of each path in real time, but in the multi-path channel scenario, the channel state information of each path cannot be fully known

[0010] (5) The ZF algorithm and MRT algorithm in the prior art are highly sensitive to the time-varying wireless channel, which may affect the performance of the system in actual system applications

[0012] The difficulty in solving the above problems lies in the fact that the existing technology is relatively sensitive to the time-varying nature of the wireless channel. If the time-varying nature of the wireless channel is not considered, it will affect the performance of the system in the actual system.

In addition, due to the existence of multiple scatterers in the non-line-of-sight NLOS scene, there will be multiple paths to the receiver. On the other hand, due to path loss, the power of each path to the receiver will be relatively low. Existing The weights obtained by the beamforming algorithm in the NLOS scenario are not necessarily optimal, and there is no way to effectively increase the received power of the desired user when the power of each path is low
