Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of future 5G millimeter wave large-scale antenna array communication, and in particular relates to a method for channel estimation and hybrid beamforming against the imperfection of a phase shifter. Background technique

[0002] Future 5G communications require greater bandwidth, higher data rates and spectral efficiency. The millimeter-wave frequency band has huge unlicensed spectrum resources and is considered to be a promising option for 5G communications; at the same time, large-scale antenna array technology can resist path loss by obtaining higher antenna gain; in addition, in order to save hardware costs and power Loss, hybrid beamforming technology has received extensive attention. Hybrid beamforming technology is divided into analog domain beamforming and digital domain beamforming. Analog domain beamforming is mostly implemented with a network of phase shifters. However, due to the limitation of...

Embodiment 1

[0026] This embodiment is applied to the millimeter wave communication channel estimation and hybrid beamforming method against the imperfection of the phase shifter, including the following process: the base station sends the training sequence to the user, and the discrete Fourier transform interpolation method is applied on the user side for downlink Angle of departure estimate. Then the base station designs analog domain precoding according to the feedback angle of departure. Using the designed precoding matrix in the analog domain, the base station sends the pilot to the user again, and the user estimates the equivalent channel. Finally, the base station designs zero-forcing digital domain precoding based on the equivalent channel information fed back by the user.
