Problems solved by technology

A potential disadvantage of this approach is that it takes longer and consumes more resource elements than using a wide beam to send broadcast data simultaneously in all directions

Abstract

There are provided mechanisms for beam forming using an antenna array comprising dual polarized elements. A method comprises generating one or two beam ports. The one or two beam ports are defined bycombining at least two non-overlapping subarrays. Each subarray has two subarray ports. The two subarray ports have identical power patterns and mutually orthogonal polarizations. The at least two non-overlapping subarrays are combined via expansion weight vectors or expansion weight arrays. The expansion weights and map the one or two beam ports to subarray ports such that the one or two beam ports have the same power pattern as the subarrays. At least some of the expansion weights have identical non-zero magnitude and are related in phase to form a transmission lobe. The method comprises transmitting signals using said one or two beam ports.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments presented herein relate to beamforming, and more particularly to methods, antenna arrays and computer programs for beamforming using antenna arrays comprising dual polarized elements. Background technique [0002] In wireless communication networks, antenna design can be the key to good performance and capacity. This applies to wireless communication from a network node to a wireless user terminal or vice versa as well as between two network nodes. For example, massive beamforming, that is, beamforming using active antenna arrays (where there are orders of magnitude more antenna elements than in current communication networks), is expected to be the radio access part of future fifth-generation (5G) communication networks technology components in . Through the deployment of a large antenna array at the radio base station, user data can be sent focused in space such that the energy is mainly received by the user data-focused wireless device...
